Wheel Type: EVA vs Air-Filled

EVA foam wheels are lighter, maintenance-free, and ideal for indoor and smooth surfaces. Air-filled tires absorb bumps better for outdoor use but add weight and upkeep. Most wholesale programs favor EVA for simplicity.

Frame Material

Steel frames are durable and cost-effective; aluminum is lighter and premium. Match the material to your price tier and target retail channel.

Age Range & Adjustability

Look for adjustable seat height so the same SKU serves a wider age span, reducing your SKU count while covering more customers.

MOQ & Lead Time

Confirm MOQ per model and whether mixed-container loading is allowed — it protects you from over-committing to a single design.
