r/kickscooter

I am looking to get my first (adult) kick scooter. My kids love scootering so I want to be able to do it with them. I can get a cheap (Vevor) 200mm for about $65CAD or a MADD Gear for $80CAD, or even a refurbished Razor A5 Lux for $110CAD. Alternatively, I could get an 250mm Razor A6 Lux for about $180CAD.

Is a brand name model (such as Razor) worth the extra cost? Is going from 200mm to 250mm worth the extra cost?

I don’t want to buy cheap and then hate it, but at the same time I don’t want to spend 3x the price and get something that isn’t much better or that I don’t end up enjoying. Unfortunately there aren’t any used options on Facebook.

Hey guys! I saw a few comments here saying it's a great scooter for commuting, but I struggle to find any decent reviews on it. Can anyone share is it really enjoyable for 3-7 km commutes? I'm 174 cm high woman and weigh much less than 100 kg so I fit the specs, but I'm hesitant because it's marked as kids scooter. If you happen to have any photos you're willing to share with you and your scooter, I'd appreciate it a lot too :)
Also, is it much slower than those with 200 wheels? I mean I'm not planning any races just want to have fun while riding. I really love how it looks 😁

Hey! I've found a use Black for 60 Eur and a Flex for 140 Eur and now I can't decide whether the wooden deck of the Flex is worth extra 80 Eur. Is it really worth it? Overall the roads are okay here, but there are some bad patches here and there that are far from smooth. Will Flex help on paving stones?

I mainly longboard and skate, but I got myself and my GF an hudora 230 scooter with urethane wheels. Problem is that I find the kickscooter extremely sluggish feeling compared to a longboard. I live in the Netherlands and the roads are not perfect, but even on decently smooth road a longboard would be so much fast. Are the kickscooter wheels just bad urethane quality or is it me? No hate ofc, just genuinely wondering ❤️
