Permission to Roam

Parents want their kids to explore. They just don’t want their stomachs in knots while they do it. There’s a tension. It’s the tug-of-war between freedom and fear.

The ask was clear on paper: create an electric, outdoor-adventure-ready scooter. The reality was more nuanced. Because adventure without assurance is just anxiety on wheels.

So we leaned into the safety-first thinking Thomas Built Buses is known for, and created Wanda. Wanda blends rugged, all-terrain capability with school-bus-level safety and advanced smart technologies that keep parents informed and kids empowered. It transforms a scooter from novelty into something far more useful: a trusted tool for everyday adventure.
