Road Test: Crisp Big Wheels Scooter

WHY should children have all the fun? Scootering is one of life's great simple pleasures.

WHAT is it?

A scooter for adults.

For goodness' sake man, have some self-respect.
Oh, loosen up. Why should children have all the fun? Scootering is one of life's great simple pleasures. Remember the feeling of zipping around the park with the sun on your face and not a care in the world? Jump on this thing and it feels like 1978 again.

You'll be styling your hair like Justin Bieber and demanding Alphabet Spaghetti for dinner next.
Did I mention that it's a good way for parents to spend quality time with the kids? And it's also a practical way of getting around for city slickers who don't drive and can't bear the thought of putting one foot in front of the other. There's no fuel or ongoing costs, and it folds up for easy carrying. Are you sold yet?

Keep going ...
The deck is extra wide and super-grippy, which is reassuring for those whose sense of balance isn't quite what it was. The handlebar height is adjustable, and the big (20cm) wheels with polyurethane tyres make the ride fast and smooth.

Sounds like a SWEET set of wheels!
That's the spirit. Now, can I interest you in a pogo stick ... ?
