Mg Teen/Adult Kick Scooter - 800+lb Capacity - Life Long Backing - QuickClick Latch Folding Mechanism - Front & Rear Brake

This is my first scooter and I was really excited to receive it! It came out of the box ready to go and is relatively easy to fold and unfold. This scooter is very sturdy! My husband is super tall and over 350#. he got on it with no problems and it rolled fine. I took it with me to a conference and not only did I easily maneuver a large Convention Center, I used it to get to places that were miles away quickly and efficiently. The one thing I would say, that I have not seen others say is that I happen to be a very experienced roller skater (quads) and I have had no problems riding and balancing on this contraption. My husband who is not an experienced skater, said he felt uncertain on it and that it made him a little nervous. Of course, it rolls great on flatter surfaces, but it goes over bumpier surfaces all right as well. I did not run into any kind of wet pavement, but I'm sure it would have the same problems that roller skates do outdoors and that is sliding. Standing in the right place takes some getting used to, but you will be happy with the wide expanse of the plate that you stand on. Because it's so wide it's very easy to switch your legs for kicking off. The scooter's handle bar also comes up very high, which I am glad for and my husband who is 6 ft 9 in could maneuver it easily enough. I understand you're not supposed to put all of your weight on the handle bars, but they seem super sturdy to me if you need to do so here and there. My only complaint happens to be with the wheels and I have the same complaint for roller skates. Why isn't somebody manufacturing a wheel that is good on wet surfaces as well as dry Surfaces? Also, why not use a softer urethane that people can buy if they want to skate predominantly outside? These two things have more to do with things that roll in general. This is a great scooter and you'll be happy with your purchase. I did my research and from what I can tell, you really can't do much better! The only other scooter that happens to measure up seems to be the GoPed and the price for it is higher (ridiculous!) than this one and the hubs on the Goped wheels are not metal - not good if you are heavy. I did like the little rubber outdoor wheel, but the xootr was cheaper and you seem to get more for the money, especially with the good-looking design. The Xootr does roll very well and keeps rolling well with less pushing.

I am new to scootering and I live in a city.Once I started just using the scooter naturally and stopped treating it like a bike and let the scooter teach me how to scooter?It's been the most remarkable experience of my life! From the placement of the brand to guide your good to the easy way it swings over your shoulder?I can use it to feel safer crossing streets or in neighborhood where I'm not comfortable. This is not a weapon and it will defend me.If I could meet the engineers and tell them how amazing they are I would! So instead I'm telling you. This is the one you need.

I've been using this to commute to college and it's been a very great scooter so far. You can feel how high quality the parts are and how it's well assembled. This is a very light scooter to carry. I always carry it with me into my classes and I barely have to exert any effort to bring it with me. It is relatively small enough that I can fit it under my desk or to the side of it without it getting in the way.The folding mechanism requires a learning curve as you must aim the front wheel perfectly with the base of the scooter in order for it to fold correctly. It took my a couple days to get used to it, but with practice I'm sure it will become one quick motion. I love the quick release button at the base when unfolding the scooter as it makes it so easy to unfold and go within seconds.As some users have mentioned, it can be rattly at times when going over bumps, but I personally don't mind it: it's actually a good safety measure as pedestrians are able to hear me coming.The front brake is a nice feature and combined with the foot brake, this scooter can stop fairly quickly. The front brake has a nice progressive feel so you won't accidentally lock up the front wheel.Some have complained about the bumpy ride, but let's be honest, I didn't buy this for comfort. It doesn't have a suspension of any sort so why would I expect it to ride smoothly over road imperfections?? They even claim that this scooter performs best on smooth pavement so don't expect this to glide over potholes. If you need a scooter that can do that, get one with a suspension. Just know that suspension scooters are much heavier. However, on smooth pavement, this scooter glides with ease and can go pretty fast.Overall, I'm very glad with my purchase and I can't wait to continue using it everyday!

It hurts my knees I'm 287 lbs I do switch then I don't know why .

I bought mine before I left on vacation to the beach. It arrived just in time and I didn't even get a chance to unpack it, just threw the box in the car. Unpacking was uneventful. I took a second and read the little instruction sheet that came with it it and learned to fold it with the front wheel straight ahead so it retracts into the forks. Nice. I got the hang of it right away. It's perfect for a nice flat place like the beach. Most days I could easily commute 5 miles or so on it. Today, however, I bucked a 22 MPH headwind on it and tired out after only a few miles. The return trip with a strong wind at my back was perhaps the easiest push-scooter trip ever. In 2 miles I kicked maybe three times. It was an awesome experience. The MG Xootr is extremely well made. The wheels really do glide over all but the roughest pavement. It's a little pricey but you're getting the Ferrari of push scooters for your money.
