European foreword
This document (EN 14619:2019) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 136 “Sports,
playground and other recreational facilities and equipment”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by January 2020, and conflicting national standards shall
be withdrawn at the latest by January 2020.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes EN 14619:2015.
In relation to EN 14619:2015 the following main amendments have been made:
a) 4.2.2 has been updated;
b) 4.3.3 has been updated;
c) the handle bar impact test (5.4) has been added to the order of tests in 5.2.1;
d) Figure 6 and the references in the text have been deleted.
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the
following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria,
Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland,
Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Republic of
North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the
United Kingdom.
1 Scope
This document applies to kick scooters that can only be propelled by the muscular activity of a user
with a body mass of more than 20 kg and less than 100 kg.
To reduce the risk of injuries to both the user and third parties during intended use this standard
specifies safety requirements, test methods, marking, and information supplied by the manufacturer.
Kick scooters for use by users of less than 20 kg do not belong to the scope of this document. They are
toys.
It should be noted that there are two types of scooters for the weight group 20 kg to 50 kg – those
classified as sports equipment for use on public roads and path ways (this European Standard) and
those classified as toys for domestic use (according to EN 71-1).
2 Normative references

4.2 Classification of kick scooters
4.2.1 Class A
Kick scooters intended for use by a user mass of more than 20 kg up to 100 kg.
4.2.2 Class B
Kick scooters intended for use by a user mass of more than 20 kg up to 50 kg. The maximum height of
the scooter (handle bar including hand grips or the joy stick) is 74 cm, measured from the deck to the
highest point.
4.3 Requirements
4.3.1 Protruding components and edges
Protruding components and edges that can contact with body parts during intended use shall be
constructed in such a way as to prevent injury or deburred. The test shall be carried out according
to 5.9.
Rigid and protruding parts that can cause entrapment or injuries shall be protected. This protection
shall not come loose during tests performed according to Clause 5.
The ends of the handles shall be covered. The ends of handlebar shall withstand the test according
to 5.4, Figure 3, and shall remain free of sharp edges.
4.3.2 Parts moving against each other
4.3.2.1 General
The requirements specified in 4.3.2.2 to 4.3.2.5 shall be tested according to 5.9.
4.3.2.2 Distance between the parts
4.3.2.2.1 General
Below requirements do not have to be considered if the customer acts intentionally close to and directly
on the component and hurts itself. Then the injury would be caused by its own strength and could be
stopped by itself immediately.
4.3.2.2.2 Class A
The distance between accessible moveable parts shall be either smaller than 5 mm or wider than
18 mm in any position. This requirement does not apply to the wheels/spokes/wheel support system or
the braking/rear brake system, if provided.
4.3.2.2.3 Class B
a) The space between moving elements, capable of injuring fingers, shall also allow a 12 mm rod to be
inserted if it allows a 5 mm rod to be inserted.
b) Accessible openings in moving elements capable of shearing a finger shall not allow the insertion of
a 5 mm rod.
This requirement does not apply to the wheels/spokes/wheel support system or the braking/rear
brake system, if provided.
4.3.2.3 Folding mechanism
Any folding mechanism shall be designed to fix the kick scooter for use in a simple, rigid and safe way. It
shall resist all tests without damage. Fixing components shall not have contact with the front wheel in
any position. An inadvertent unlocking of the mechanism shall be impossible.
If the distance as specified in 4.3.2.2 is not met, other designs to protect the user from unintentional
injuries shall be provided.
4.3.2.4 Sliding mechanism others than the steering system
Sliding mechanisms shall be protected against unintentional opening or collapse during intended use.
4.3.2.5 Springs
Springs shall not be accessible if the gap between two consecutive spirals or turns allows a 5 mm
diameter rod to be inserted on a 10 mm depth.
4.3.3 Steering system
The steering system shall be constructed:
