Just plain great scooter. Good enough for 6'4" 220 lbs guy like me. You ride, than fold it, put on your shoulder and walk. Just amazing product! Big wheels and no need for any suspension. Awesome!!!
Takes no space folded and you can keep it in the trunk too.

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.

We ended up buying one for each kid since they liked them so much! Very well made and easy to ride. these have larger wheels so they dont have to worry about small bumps and gaps in the sidewalk. the metal frame is very strong and these should last for years.

two small items to note: the kickstand hit my daughters ankle when she was using it, so i removed it. also, the handlebars have preset heights for adjustability, but they dont have a spot low enough for my 6 year old. this would be easy to fix with an extra hole on the downtube.

The LaScoota is a quality scooter. It looks great, brakes well, and rides well. The hand grips do an excellent job of absorbing energy, making for a smooth ride.

However, the scooter is a noisy ride. It ratlles a lot, especially compared to our Razor A5 DLX. Also, the red button used to fold and unfold is terribly hard to slide, making this scooter hard to fold even for an adult.

This is definitely a kids scooter too. The handlebars do not raise to the appropriate height, even for my wife, who is under 5'5".

While a solid competitor, we ended up returning it an getting the Razor with the inflatable tires.

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.
