Kick Scooters for Adult – Buyer’s Guide
If you are an adult and want to buy a kick scooter for your short distance commute, do not just go to the market or Amazon.com and buy one blindly. Instead, consider some of these things before buying.
- Height. Yes, you must consider not only the height of the handlebar of the scooter but your height too. Consider your height first and then see the adjustable heights of the handlebar. If the height of the handlebar suits your height, then go for it.
- Weight. Here you should consider your weight, not the scooters. Before buying, check if the scooter is strong enough to take your weight.
- Wheels. You should definitely check the kind of wheels and also the diameter of them. Large wheels are good for a smooth and fast ride. Also, a good quality wheel will give you much more comfortable ride than a low quality once.
- Compactness. If you want a kick scooter for you day to day use, you should definitely check if it is foldable and how easily you can carry it. You do not want a bulky scooter which you cannot even fold and have to drag wherever you go.
