What age is appropriate for an electric kids scooter ?

I managed to pick up a Gyroor electric kids scooter at a flea market for very cheap. It needed a repair, so I fixed it and it works perfectly. My nearly 3yo already loves the thing, but is definitely not ready for it yet. The lowest handlebar setting is at her nose level. I will say that she is small for her age, as her parents are on the smaller side (yay me I guess!).

She does have a more age-appropriate 3 wheel scooter that she kinda outgrown, so we might get a another 3 wheel scooter that's a little bigger. All she wants to do is ride the electric one now. Mind you, its not capable of carrying me and her at the same time, I am 40lbs over its limit. My wife and the baby could ride, but she refuses to since her balance is bad.

Eventually I want to get one for myself that my daughter can ride with me, to get a feeling for the speed and extended riding sessions. Running next to her now while propping the scooter up is a little exhausting.
