> 3 dayI was looking for a cheap, entry-level scooter to try out before I switched to a fancy one. I am 54 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. Im 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 dont 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 its 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 isnt 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 Im in a hurry, I can do a 7 or 8 minute mile. If Im in a hurry, it can be a workout where I get legit exercise flushed. I think its worth it if you live in BK like I do. Ive only tried it around Roosevelt Island to teach myself how to use it, so dont 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. Its typically faster than taking the bus if there isnt 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. Id 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. Its very light and portable. The strap is ok, but if you dont hold it just right, some hardware will jam into you and pinch you no matter what you do. It doesnt take up too much room on the subway, although I wouldnt 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 its never clear if you did a good enough job when you close the joints, the red button for folding takes just the right touch (havent gotten it down to a swift motion, and kind of dont think Ill be able to). For the handles, they are held together by a piece of elastic. It doesnt seem sturdy at all. The design flaw is that they pop out of the holders when folded up for carrying around. So youll be sitting or walking and find one flopping around and have to put it back in. Its 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 doesnt 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 Id never ridden a scooter before this. So, Im reviewing for it solving my problem, but Im pretty useless at comparing it to other scooters.

Greater than one weekSo many scooters are small/short even for kids. I was so impressed by the quality and larger wheel size of this scooter. My 8 year old son loves it. His old scooter was too close to the ground and the handlebars were getting too short already. This scooter is really fast, smooth and the foot platform is nice and wide for his feet to rest comfortably. Love the kickstand too.

I contacted the LaScoota customer service on the other recent scooter I purchased and they went above and beyond. I am always happy to support companies like this that stand behind their products and value their customers!
