Bought this for my wife. We don't own a car (don't worry, we live in a city) but sometimes her destination is a bit far from the metro station. Most everything where we love is walkable but sometimes her dance class or a certain bookstore is a few too many blocks from public transit. She wanted to replace get rickety old Razor and wanted a more comfortable ride. Wider deck, larger wheels and more shock absorption (if a scooter could provide such a thing). This for the bill and she was very happy. Larger, more comfortable rubber grips, a wider deck for rainy or cold days, when she wears boots and it sits higher off the pavement than the child size Razor she used to have. By virtue of its pneumatic wheels, street shock is absorbed. The only thing we didn't like was the fact you can't fold it so if the train is crowded, it's tough to bring it aboard but it isn't so big that she can't. She was incredibly happy with it.

Ok, I only rode it for one day but I already love it because my previous scooter constantly rattles (so loudly) on the smallest cracks on the road...it's embarrassing. This one can handle a lot of big cracks/ups and downs on the roads, even running through grass fields felt easy because I need to avoid people on the side walk. I just love it for that.

The only thing though - it requires significantly more effort to kick to move than my rubber tire scooter. I think it's because of the thick air tires that have more contacting surface on the ground which creates friction. But that's why it can handle different types of roads. I'm not complaining about getting more exercise out of it!

The scooter itself is put together pretty well. Obviously this is made for all terrain so it should be made to take a beating and keep on going. The only concerns that I have for it, are they at the handle is not adjustable and the platform should be a little bit wider. Usually on the scooters you can adjust the handle to the height that you want with a simple click. On this model, you have to use an allen wrench to loosen and tighten the female receptacle. The male end is threaded for some reason? Possibly to help grip the screws but it doesn't seem like it is the best solution. But as far as durability, I've only taken it out once and I am currently about 50 lb over the weight limit for it. But it still held up very well. I would definitely recommend airing up the tires to what the guide says, for a smoother ride.

Just got my scooter today and I absolutely love it. I purchased it specifically to use for riding with my 3 year old son on his scooter. It's faster than I thought it would be based on other reviews. I had to loosen the axel bolts a bit in order to take pressure off of the bearings. Now the wheels spin freely. They came very tight though so be prepared to do this as well. I also added some grease before installing the handlebars for easy removal later. I am 6' 1" tall and 190 lbs. and it fits me great. I do have to bend over a bit but I'm very comfortable on it. I wear a size 12 shoe and can fit both feet on the deck. Although slightly angled. It doesn't matter though because I rarely ride with both feet on the deck. Build quality is great. It feels sturdy and quiet when I ride. The tires are great for rough streets and sidewalks but I was able to ride on gravel as well. The scooter is replacing another adult size scooter that I recently purchased on Amazon. I was completely unhappy with the build quality and the overall size of the scooter was too small for me. I am much happier with this one as it fits all my needs and exceeded my expectations. You will not be disappointed with this scooter.

I am a 43 woman with a looooot of extra pounds to lose and I wanted a low impact exercise that would be fun and sustainable over time. Along with counting calories, I have lost 30 lbs in three months already. It's fun, it's sturdy, you can ride it on the streets and sidewalks and you won't even feel a thing, you won't feel the bumps on the road like with other scooters with the skinny wheels. I love it love it! And I like that fact that since you can't fold it, it stays together. I ride it for two hours at a time sometimes and I burn around 1,000 calories, I ride it downtown and it's so much fun. I recommend also buying one of those backpacks that hold water so you can stay hydrated since it doesn't have a cup holder.
