These are great because you can combine the tube/train with the scooter to get more places. You can fold it before getting on and unfold it when you get off and continue on

Call your scooter Sue or Margaret 😃 great video. Showing all the potential for a kick or push scooter. When they first came out. I was using them around London since 1999. I’m 67 now and still using them.

Thanks for that great little video. It is great to see someone actually using a scooter for some basic shopping (and fun).

Such a good idea! Great way to save money in London.

I ordered my scooter today, saw someone riding one around the town and thought it was a great idea, I don't really have room for a bike, nor do I wish to haul it up and down 4 flights of stairs, plus this way I can hop on a bus if need be, had considered a folding bike, a unicycle (yes I can ride one) and skates but this seems the best all-round idea practically, I like skating but it's not easy to hop in and out of skates and bikes/unicycles are a bit more cumbersome if I needed to get a bus.

There is a tent with a KZread page that he calls Have a nice ride. He lives on the California coast, and has like four scooters. He reviews them all. One video is of him taking a 45 mile ride on a bike path on the coast. I have as pretty impressed. His scooters are all made by Razor.

You look REALLY cool! You've got the London Look!

Good review. Thanks.

could you do update? do you still use it ?

Loved your video! I just got one kick scooter and yesterday was my first ride on it - I got tired but I loved it! Was concerned about going shopping on it, but your solution of locking it on a bike rack was excellent! I'll try it 🤩

Hi Sandy, I too am a scooter rider. Faster than walking, foldable and can go in places where a bike cannot, to me it is the ultimate form of convenience travel in a normal walking environment. You will save a fortune in time, taxis and trying to find a parking spot. One thing though - do not use in wet weather. The polyurethane wheels do not hold the ground well in the wet and the the brakes (metal fender on plastic wheel) pretty much become non existent. Your amazing love of life is infectious. Keep going for it!

Hi Simone, Scooters riding really works best on tarmac and concrete. If you have to ride on grass I would check out a Swifty Scooter. They have pneumatic tyres so you can ride on grass, beautifully made but might be a bit pricey. Make sure you check out the ones which are foldable for carrying because some of them do not fold away. Hope that helps.

Hi Simone, just checked out the xiaomi m365 - electric I see. Very nice and definitely the next wave in low spec personal travel. Unfortunately UK law at this point prohibits the riding of any electric powered scooters on the streets. Sad but true. However I have seen one or two people riding them around where I live and not get stopped. It really depends if you think you are unlikely to be challenged then it is a possible option to consider. Hope that helps

so good to think that you return for your camera haha

When I was still in Paris, I was going everywhere with my scooter, so much fun! But... I’ve been starting having high blood pressure because I was not walking anymore (according to the doctor). When we walk, the blood circulates better in the body. So I would recommend continuing walking as much as possible and using the scooter for maybe a little longer distances. High blood pressure is not fun at all, and sometimes, we don’t even realize we have that problem. Now, I am walking like crazy in L.A., which is really crazy because the distances are so big! I could use my scooter but I don’t to keep my pressure at the best. But it’s true that using a scooter is really very fun.

I will definitely buy one after watching your video

SO COOOOL

I think a fold scooter is best for me as i dont have room to keep a bike and the distance to school is not that far about a 30 minute walk which would be a lot quicker on a scooter

I am a 66 year old retired old geezer, and blew up my right knee about 4 years ago. I read a message on a scooter forum from a tent about my age with knee problems. He took up kick scootering, and found that he could do it, and it is good exercise for him.I am also a prostate cancer survivor (so far at least), and do a pretty good 45 minute workout with barbells and a smallbench. I just ordered myself a folding kick scooter, and am hoping I will be able to ride it for fun and excercise. I could stand to lose some weight, and maybe this will help. I live on the big island of Hawaii near Hilo, and there are some beautiful places to ride along the beaches here. Thanks for the video.

They are better than a push bike even a folding bike is too big. I use a scooter and I live in my campervan so they are ideal.
