LaScoota Kick Scooter for Kids Ages 6+, Teens & Adults, Large 8" Sturdy Urethane Wheels. Adjustable Handlebar, Lightweight, Foldable, 220lbs Max Load

Overall, this is a very impressive scooter. When riding it, I felt extremely safe and comfortable, even for sharp turns and thin layers of sand or water. I purchased the "Graphic" Model, which looks really cool.Pros:-The build quality is exceptional, and there is very little wobble or flex in the parts after first tightening.-The design looks nice and seems to be able to handle standard wear-and-tear.-The handlebars have plenty of height range for growing kids.-Riding the scooter on sidewalks is very smooth on both the feet and hands.-The handlebar grips are not foam, and therefore seem to be quite durable.-First assembly is very easy, and all that needs to be done is tightening.-The large wheels can handle almost all outdoor surfaces.Neutrals:-The process of folding and unfolding the scooter, while redundant, takes about a minute.-Many parts, especially the handlebar lock needed tightening with the included allen keys before the first use.-Carrying the scooter short distances is fine with the carry strap, but it gets heavy for anything longer than a few minutes.-The handlebar grips twist over time, and in shipping.-There doesn't seem to be a way to attach a basket to the scooter.Cons:-The kickstand is only useful when there is no wind, flat ground, and the smallest bump will make it fall over.-The kickstand will sometimes scrape the ground when going up some bike-friendly curbs. Between this and the previous con, I ended up taking it off, but recall when shopping that a kickstand was a desired feature.-When folding the scooter, the red latch is kind of finicky.

I got the yellow Teen sized scooter. The yellow is a nice almost safety yellow color, though not quite as bright. The visibility is great!The size is perfect for me at 5'4 120 pounds and a size 7 womens' shoe. If your feet are larger or you are over 150 pounds, I'd suggest sizing up to the adult size.It rides nice. Easy to handle and can pick up some decent speed. It is very lightweight (less than 10 pounds) so I was worried it would feel chinzy, but it's pretty solid. Not like a heavy electric scooter, but great for the weight.It's so easy to fold up and take with you! I use it for quick trips to the store and sometimes, instead of locking it up outside, I just carry it in with me. It's also great for the gym.It's absolutely perfect for public transportation. I live just far enough from a SunRail station that walking takes too long, but driving and parking is a pain. Not only does this make getting there quicker, but (unlike a bike) i can fold it up and sit anywhere. Whith a bike I have to stay on the bottom of the train.This was a really great buy!

I'm 47 and I've wanted a scooter since my kids got theirs back in the early 2000s. I bought this as a gift for someone else, but even though it was listed as prime, it took over a week to come, so i had to go out and buy a different scooter for her. Since I also just celebrated a birthday, I kept this for myself when it finally arrived. I'm glad I did because my stunted childhood dreams came true! It's been cold and rainy here but I've been riding this baby around my house and it's every bit as fun as I hoped it would be. I cannot wait to get outside with it! It's very sturdy and the second height level is perfect for my 5'3 frame. Folding it seems tricky at first, but I found a great YouTube video titled Lascoota Teen Scooter that shows how to pull up while pushing up on the red folding button. Now it's super easy to fold and unfold. Some weird black plastic piece fell out from where it folds and I've emailed the company about it, but so far it doesn't seem to affect the scooter usage. Replacement parts are readily available, and look pretty inexpensive, from the Lascoota website. Testing the brake inside at low speed, it seems really responsive. The little kickstand is awesome because at my age I'm just so above dumping my $70 scooter on its side in the grass. I'm not planning on doing any rad tricks, and I'm not into getting tiny wheels stuck in cracks, so the larger wheels on this are fabulous because they give such a smooth ride. I'm mostly looking forward to embarrassing my youngest son as I ride around the neighborhood on my super cool pink scooter. I ordered a white helmet to go with this and I'm totally gonna sticker the heck out of it to complete the bad mom effect.

Ok, had it about a month now. Got about 20 miles on it. Got it for an alternate to jogging and arthritic knees. Warning: first scooter for me since childhood.Cons: no suspension; with the polyurethane wheels, I feel every little bump and sidewalk crack. I thought the headset was loose but it turns out the folding lock mechanism (pic 2) has a little bit of front/back play, only noticeable when standing still. The downtube stop (pic3), just behind the front wheel was installed backwards with the countersunk hole in the back of the rubber spacer. Believe this was intentional to prevent complaints about the lock not releasing because properly installed, the stop should have a slight backward pressure on the downtube. To release the lock, push the handlebars forward and voila!Pros: plenty of room for my size 10 feet; glides very well; well made and holding up well so far; rear brake works fine when you need it; I don't fold it so have encountered no probs with the folding mechanism; also no probs with surface changes, bumps, etc., with large wheels.While it looks like the cons outweigh the pros, they are all minor and except for the suspension, all easily fixed.For the price, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
