We bought this for our 10 year old granddaughter. she loves it and rides it around the neighborhood. Very smooth ride. and she loves the brake

Comes fully assembled. Very easy to unfold.

I was looking for a cheap, entry-level scooter to try out before I switched to a fancy one. I am 5'4" with a size 7.5 shoe, around 145 lbs, current vanity-size adjusted dress size 4.

This one was cheaper than the Razor A5 and seemed to have a more loyal fanbase with similar features and quality.

I was going to just buy it in silver, but ended up waiting. I'm glad I did, because within a week or two, the black and red became available. I wanted the black and red so I could pair it with a black and red bike helmet. So, if they don't have the colors you want, for better or worse, you may be able to wait and see if they become available. Or you could ask.

The ride itself is very bumpy. I do not recommend this product if you have bad knees. I do not have bad knees. After about four hours of riding around, my legs were a bit sore. But I stayed hydrated enough to not cramp. Another reviewer mentioned that it's like doing a one-legged squat for quite some time. I was able to adjust my foot positioning over time to where I could put one put behind the other. There isn't enough room for my feet side-by-side, but at an angle, one can be behind the other. But while riding it, would naturally not put my foot behind the other unless riding downhill. So, yes, my leg did get a little sore from the one-legged. But it was totally worth it. And I was able to adjust easily enough between riding with my left side or right side facing forward, although I hear folks naturally have a dominant preference. I say adjust at stop lights or every quarter mile or so to prevent getting a cramp or something.

I average about a mile in a little under ten minutes. If I'm in a hurry, I can do a 7 or 8 minute mile. If I'm in a hurry, it can be a workout where I get legit exercise flushed.

I think it's worth it if you live in BK like I do. I've only tried it around Roosevelt Island to teach myself how to use it, so don't have experience using it in the city. I use it to get from one part of BK to another, which can take a long time. It's typically faster than taking the bus if there isn't a direct route, but the bus in BK I find is a lot less enjoyable than the city. So I also recommend this if you want to avoid taking the bus. I also read that the bicycle was revolutionary for female mobility because it enabled women to travel unchaperoned. I'd agree with this. I wanted the ability to somewhat safely zip home on late weekends and feel like this has served that purpose well.

Carrying it around the city is not bad at all. It's very light and portable. The strap is ok, but if you don't hold it just right, some hardware will jam into you and pinch you no matter what you do. It doesn't take up too much room on the subway, although I wouldn't bring it with me during rush hour.

I have never used the kickstand.

Folding it up has so far seemed to be a very delicate process. Unhooking everything is easy enough, but it's never clear if you did a good enough job when you close the joints, the red button for folding takes just the right touch (haven't gotten it down to a swift motion, and kind of don't think I'll be able to). For the handles, they are held together by a piece of elastic. It doesn't seem sturdy at all. The design flaw is that they pop out of the holders when folded up for carrying around. So you'll be sitting or walking and find one flopping around and have to put it back in. It's not held in there well at all. Thankfully, they do not pop out when you have it set up for riding.

The handlebars are good enough for my height and arm length. I am of average proportion. The scooter is very light in terms of weight and combined with handlebars that are just a tiny bit too short, I sometimes raise it off the ground when kicking. It doesn't result in any actual performance issue other than being a little startling to slam yourself back onto the ground.

This is my first scooter ever, and I'd never ridden a scooter before this. So, I'm reviewing for it solving my problem, but I'm pretty useless at comparing it to other scooters.

It's practically rideable right out of the box. You just have to insert the handle bars and adjust the stem height. Super Easy. The whole thing feels solid and sturdy without being heavy at all. I own a bike and wanted to add another low impact exercise to my routine. I figured this would be a great leg and glute workout.

Here's what I liked:
Good sized deck, comfortable handle bars, nice grip, easy to adjust stem height, kick stand doesn't interfere with the foot kicking on that side, easy to open and fold, light enough to carry and lift into my trunk with one hand.

Here are my issues:
1. no suspension and the wheels do not do well over anything on the sidewalk. If there was a stray piece of gravel, the wheel would slip. The traction isn't great.
2. The rougher the surface the the more vibration you feel. This probably wouldn't be noticeable to a kid or teen or someone without joint issues, but my body was buzzing when I got off.

It really is a good scooter, especially for the price, which is why I still gave it 5 stars. I just need something with good suspension and air filled tired to help mitigate the vibration. I think this scooter will work for most people and would still recommend it despite it not being a good fit for me.

I've loved scooters since I was a kid and haven't been on one since then. I decided to get one and after looking at countless reviews decided to go with the Dark Adult LaScooter. I've had it for 3 hours on a day off. It was super easy to assemble/get it ready to go took like 10 min maybe and that's only becasue I didn't realize the black bit in the front that says to remove just pulls out once the thing is loosened lol. I rode it around the neighborhood and onto a bike path. It's great! Rides well (like any scooter of its kind) so on bumpier surfaces you feel it but thats how those types of wheels are so as expected. I weigh 270lbs and didn't have any issues. Not to say the ware and tare can't happen faster because of the extra weight, but if you're about my size and curious, it should work well for you too! Hope this helps someone😊
