TAGS:shabbos | Halacha - Scooter for children in shabbat | | Submitted by anonymous Answered by Rav Peretz Moncharsh | | Question: I would like to know about using scooters or rollers for children up to 8 or 9 years old in a place with eruv. I've heard bike is a problem but on this you can see its only for playing.
| | Answer: It is fine. The primary problem with a bike is the risk that the chain may fall off and require a repair, which would be forbidden on Shabbos. Since scooters and skates are simpler and contain to chains, there is less risk of needing fixing and there are no grounds for concern.
