I bought this scooter for transportation around a big college campus. Though it is on the heavier side when also carrying a backpack, it is nowhere near as bulky as the electric scooters. As a kick scooter, the deck is comfortable to use when riding around campus and I can easily get to locations in under 5 minutes especially downhill for distances 0.5-0.7 miles long. The wheels do make a small sound when pushed down but I believe those are just the bearings when riding the actual scooter. The strap is only helpful if you are not wearing a backpack but otherwise it is always nice to have! I really like the foldability of the handles and how the shaft of the scooter has a place to lock them in. The foldability of the actual scooter itself sometimes is finicky but I learned if its pushed forward then the button is pushed, it will fold over (definitely much easier to fold compared to its counterparts). Usually, my scooter can fit in between and/or under lecture hall seats which is also a bonus. The brake is fairly efficient as it stops quite quickly, though I notice some wear already even though its been less than three weeks (note that my campus has a lot of downhills with steep grades).

Overall, it is a smooth ride and easy to use but beware of bumpy asphalt and cracks in the road.

Have a good time with this, when I do use it. I'm 6 food and 220lbs and hauls butt!

I liked this scooter because it's really nice and very smooth on roads. I recommend buying this scooter!

Things I like:
* folds very quickly, easy to carry and get on/off transit, solid but not too heavy
* Attractive--doesn't look like a kid's scooter, more like an e-scooter
* Super easy to assemble, well designed in general
* Rides well, fits my height (5'10")
* Great value

Things I'd tweak (but not enough of an issue to knock it down a star):
* Deck could be a little wider, a little hard to switch kick feet while riding
* Squeaks a little bit
* I'd prefer hand brakes

Overall would definitely recommend. A good first choice if you're not sure what kind of mobility device you'll want longer term; I was thinking about an e-scooter or foldable e-bike and got this for a start and am glad I did to familiarize myself with roads. Even if I eventually get a more expensive device I could see myself using this when I want some light exercise.

I'm revising my review!
My neighbor used a tap and die set to re-thread the ruined nut. He pointed out that the plastic insert was made to just pull out. I wish the instructions had made that clear. When I pulled gently, nothing happened and I jumped to the wrong conclusion.

The scooter easily folds and unfolds and is lightweight, just what I wanted, but I was surprised at how rough the ride was. There's also a strange clicking sound every so often. I'll keep it and see how long it lasts.

Seller: This message is for you.

The scooter arrived the evening of 4/21/23. It looked good and was light enough for me to remove from the outer box and easily move around. The next day I took it out of the plastic bag and re-read the instructions. They guided me in how to unfold the front wheel "“ so far, so good! But then the problem began.

Step 3 says to undo the handle clamp. Step 4 says to remove the plastic insert. But the insert is fastened in by a screw. The step 3 photo shows an arm up above, so I assumed that something on top had to be turned. Besides the clamp that could be released but not rotated, there's a hole smaller than any of the tools that came with the scooter.

When I looked at the scooter from the front, I saw the nut on the bottom of the screw. I tried turning it by hand, but it would turn only so far. One of the L-wrenches was the right size but was awkward to use in the small space. I figured out I needed to pull the stem higher to make room to get the tool into the end of the nut. But by then the nut was jammed and wouldn't turn at all. So I can't remove the plastic insert, which means I can't insert the handlebar grips.

All I want is for you to send me a new screw and nut, which are probably made especially for the LaScoota. I'll need someone's help where I live to forcibly remove the jammed nut, which will ruin it and maybe ruin the end of the long screw also. So please, send me those two parts or advise me otherwise on what to do.

Thanks in advance for your assistance. I look forward to praising you for your easily unfoldable product and your customer service.
