A6 Kick Scooter for Kids Ages 8+ - Extra-Tall Handlebars & Longer Deck, 10" Urethane Wheels, Anti-Rattle Technology, for Riders Up to 220 lbs

Edit to add: I had to put some WD-40 on the mechanism that moves to fold it because it was getting nearly impossible to fold up. Once I did that it started working better than when I first got it. I’ve had this for at least 3 years, maybe a little longer and it’s actually held up well. I’m a 30+ year old PhD student that found more value in a “kick push” scooter vs the electric ones everyone on campus enjoys but it has held up well over the years. It gets me from point A to B and back to A. When I first got it I didn’t live on campus to I parked my car kind of close and road it around campus the folded up to fit in my car’s trunk. I did this for at least a year and sometimes it was hard getting it to fold/unfold. Now I try to never fold it up if I don’t have to because it is super hard open back up. I also fallen on it a couple times but it’s because it never rains in SoCal until it actually does and I got caught in it a few times. Not pouring down rain either but now I just walk it if that’s the case. There is some wear and tear from use but overall I’m happy. I’m glad I don’t have to worry about blowing up tires because of the solid tires, too. I’ve added things for it to be safer at night for my late night classes like a light in the front and a lock that folds up and fits in a case affixed to the pole. I wish there was a way to put a red light on the back so people/cars can see you from behind but I suppose a reflector would do. They should consider adding as a standard feature for safety. I initially went with this one because I needed it for my weight, I was closer to 220 with a backpack of books/laptop but now I’ve lost 30ish pounds and it’s easier to maneuver. It’s just enough, not too much. And I don’t have to worry about theft like the e-scooter folks do but I either take it inside the building with me or lock it up on the bike rack. In hindsight I should have picked a different color too but it’s neutral and more that worth it IMO.

I live only a mile or two from my workplace but have been driving my car back and forth recently because I have to come home on my 30-40 min lunch break to walk my dog. I used to love walking or biking to work before I got my dog, but my bike broke down and when I looked into getting a new bike, a good quality one seemed so expensive, like close to $1000!!. Plus I would get sweaty biking to work, struggling up small hills, and could never wear skirts if I was biking. I hated using my car for 2 round trips a day for such a short distance, so I researched "adult" scooters and this one seemed like the best! It was SO easy to "unbox" and assemble, I would almost say no real assembly required, it was so minimal, basically just unfold and snap into place! My main fears/concerns before purchasing the scooter were 1) How fast could I really go and at what effort/sweatiness level would that require?/How would it compare to biking or walking for effort level vs. speed/efficiency? 2) How manuverable would it be on sidewalks and around turns for me as a total newbie? 3) How safely could I brake and slow down with the rear fender brake, esp since there are a few moderate hills on my route? I will say this, all my concerns/fears are at ease after trying it out!! I do think it is important to wear sturdy shoes. If you are commuting (I hate to say scoomuting) to work, it would prob be best to wear tennis shoes on the scooter and change into you work shoes once you get there unless you can wear relatively sturdy shoes to work anyway. 1) On my route with a few small up and down hills, I found it very easy to make the trip in a faster pace than prob even biking, and it's very easy to coast at a relatively high speed without continually kicking as long as you're not going up a slope. Up a slight slope you're going to be kicking more. Flat or down a slight hill it's effortless and you glide! I have a few sections of short but slightly steeper uphill, and for those I just walk the scooter cause it's easier and less effort. 2) For manuerverability, I would say it is very easy to turn and feel safe about it, even for me just starting out. Dips in sidewalks between driveways, bumps in asphalt, just be a little careful til you get the feel for it, but it was very able to handle the bumps with the large wheels! 3) Lastly, the braking... for sure you cannot stop this thing as quickly as you could a bike with hand brakes, that is for sure. For me it was easy to go down a relatively steep neighborhood downhill and just hold the rear fender brake down to slow my speed (though it could not actually stop the scooter's momentum), and then just step off when I needed to because in my case it was a stop sign and turn at the bottom of the hill. In an "emergency braking" situation like a squirrel runs into your path, it's gonna be harder to stop short quickly, but for your own safety the good news is that it's very easy to slow your speed by tapping/planting your free foot on the ground repeatedly, and/or just hop off the scooter. It felt very safe to me even on downhills or in situations where the brake didn't feel effective enough, just to tap/plant my foot to help brake and slow the speed quickly. I think if anything, since it's not an electric scooter, you will prob never be in a position where you can't just stop or slow your speed under your own power once you realize that you can use your free foot to slow down or hop off (and therefore quickly come to a stop). Overall, I feel very safe and comfortable riding this scooter, and for my situation it seems like a better non-car commuter option than a bike, unless you already like biking for longer distances.

Nice scooter not only for big kids but for tall adults as well. White color is great. The only thing I would consider improving is the bottom of the scooter is not protected at all. I would add some plastic protection there to avoid multiple scratches.

Quality product for the price. Really well built. It rides smoothly on pavement and it does not rattle. Only small issue will be the handle bar grips. Don’t think they’ll last long but I might be wrong. Overall it’s good stuff! Really satisfied.

Yo lo utilizo principalmente como un medio para hacer deporte en ciudad pero ocasionalmente lo uso como un medio de transporte alternativo para distancias no mayores de 3 Km. Tenía un patín con doble supensión pero ruedas de 20cm (4in) y no me sentía cómodo con la velocidad que adquiría cuando me encontraba una pendiente cuesta abajo algo pronunciada. Con el A6, la mayor estabilidad que viene de sus ruedas de 25cm (10in), y en mi opinión de mejor calidad, es notable en esa situación y en terreno plano. Sin embargo, la razón por la que dejé de usar el patín de doble suspensión chino fue que tenía un extraño defecto que que hacía que la rueda delantera se patinara lateralmente me costó tres caídas muy fuertes. Con el A6 nunca me he caído y puedo ir mucho más rápido, alrededor de 20-30 segundos menos por kilómetro que con el patín de ruedas de 20cm. El defecto principal es que un piso rugoso produce mucha vibración en los brazos, lo cual llega a ser incómodo si uno tiene que andar por una calle con mal pavimento. Pienso comprar otro para que mi esposa o hijo me acompañen en trayectos largos . Mmi récord de distancia es de 30 Km a una velocidad de 1 km cada 5.30 segundos y en distancias más cortas he llegado a ir a 1 cada 4 minutos (o 15 km/h).

I've only had the scooter for about two weeks, but so far I'm very happy with it. It's solidly built, and riding it around the city has been both fun and great exercise. I have lower back issues, so bikes aren't a good option for me, but the A6 has turned out to be the perfect alternative. It gives my leg muscles and hip flexors a solid workout, along with engaging my core. It's a surprisingly effective way to get a good cardio workout while exploring the city!

Great scooter for an adult, strong and a lot of fun!
