I am 50 yrs old man with a heart condition, I hill bomb the hill out front of my house and see how far I can cruise to the local shops on the momentum. I own a generic kickscooter with 200 mm p u wheels that I bought cheap from Kmart. I am surprised how well it has held up after 6 mont(s
Yo tengo 67 años y utilizo para transportarme a veces en distancias cortas un Razor y de verdad mi salud ha mejorado mucho. Antes al caminar no era muy raro que tropezara y cayera, pero desde que utilizo el patinete eso ya prácticamente está en el olvido, gracias a Dios y de ritmo cardíaco y pulmonar excelente
Love the video and that’s great you lost 5 lbs riding your kick scooter! It’s a great way to exercise everyday and ride it on trails. If you want to go faster, change the bearings to “Reds”. You don’t have to push off so much and you glide more. There are UA-cam videos that provide tutorials how to change them and test rides. Keep it up!
I tried Bones Reds, but I am currently riding Dragon Fireball Endure bearings. I feel they are a little better than Reds. In any case a bearing upgrade gets you another MPH when commuting.
I did about 1.6 miles in this same time, pretty happy with that specially with the slight amount of uphill in there. Really fast convenient way to get around and after I sat down for 5 minutes I didn't feel like I expended much energy at all. Also I had a lot of fun in the process.
Nice video! I own a blue A5. As a 35 year old woman who wears size 6 shoes, I'm lucky enough to be able to fit both feet on the deck at the same time, which makes switching a breeze :) A note on those pebbles though: you do have to be careful around pebbles and small stones, because if you hit one just right going fast enough, it'll make you stop dead and you may end up going over your handlebars. Trust me I know from painful experience, lol.
Thanks for your comment! I haven't gotten bucked off my Razor yet... If you haven't done the mod, I recommend switching to Bones Reds bearings. I go noticeably faster (1mph+).
I'm almost 38yrs & a husband & papa to too toddlers... I'm getting the Oxelo 9 ef V2 on the 3rd January 2020 as a late Christmas present to myself... To commute to work (1 & a half hours walk for me normally) & to scooter with my toddlers too... They have their scooters too😊 family fun! Nice video, Keep scootering👏👌😊
Great video! I like the comments. I got my A6 a few weeks ago and the last leg of my commute to work is 2.4 miles. I was debating about it because I don’t want to arrive all sweaty. I’ve done it on my bikes but having to change trains in the middle forces me to go down the stairs and then up another set of stairs. The scooter should solve that. Your station looks like my transfer station in Oakland CA: MCArthur BART station. Lucky you having all those biking lanes. Further inland we have them but no maintenance and cars flying at 50 mph by you. I use the sidewalks because they are smoother and wide. Your video helped me make up my mind. I’ll scoot more times a week to work. Thanks.
Inspiring for the 50-something crowd who might be considering this eco friendly mode of transportation. I would love to see a video of you shot from a side angle as you are riding.
I've ordered one of these to experiment with getting from airport, near my home, to my house. It's 9km. 2.5km on quiet sealed road, the rest on bike track. Should save a bit of time waiting for transport & it's a stunning track. Will see.
@@Gusto0172 I'm sure you will do fine, especially if you are under 40. I run also; riding a kick scooter taxes the body differently. When I started, I tried to do 15 or 16 kph. Nowadays, I do more like 12 kph, maintaining an easy cruising speed without pushing too hard.
I can ride my Scooter A5 Lux but its mostly for long length because it has no limits. In 2.4 seconds it reached already 15mph. In 10seconds its isane a Fast up to 50mph or under. I use it a little biy from 70ft mini hill drop speed is how i use it.
I am 53 now I bought a chaser x1 kick scooter for my exercise. I bought it for the reason to be my personal transportation, the only problem is I could not use it because I can't balance, I'm scared I'm always falling. I haven't use to ride on a bicycle or skateboard or a car when I'm still young, I have no experience in riding in these. This is my first time to ride on a kick scooter. Maybe I should practise on a bicycle first to learn how to balance.
I think riding a scooter is easier than riding a bicycle. The balance should be very natural. What you need to watch out for is rocks and twigs. Just start out slow and practice in your driveway or around your house.
Nice video. I like your idea of replacing the stock bars with a wooden dowel - I never detach mine anyway and would appreciate less play/rattle in them. Do you happen to know what diameter of dowel is the best fit? Also, I'm wondering how you secured the dowel from slipping from side to side - maybe set screws through the holes in the aluminum? Any problems getting the hand grips to stay put on the dowel without bar ends? Thanks for posting!
A 7/8" dowel should work. I put two wood screws in the holes where the buttons for the detachable handle bars used to go. It works well but you will have to periodically tighten them. The grips work fine on wood. A tip on how to get them off without killing your hands... apply soapy water.
@@amyself6678 If you coast half the time, you will not maintain 10 mph. Also, the surface you ride makes all the difference. Broken asphalt slows you down big time.

@@KandiKlover I don't worry about speed any more. It's more important to enjoy the ride like you did.
Nice video ! i just ordered my new scooter, i'm going ti use it to go to the bus stop to go to work
I've been using my scooter for exercise. Then the board snapped last night. So I ordered the A5 Lux. Its supposed to arrive this friday.
Have fun! It's a nice ride.

Sharp eye! Yeah, that was my commute back then. Stay safe out there! I recommend wear hi-viz clothing when riding. It's saved my life .
Thank you for riding video. Every time safe riding.

Just turned 50! There is more footage of me riding in this video: ua-cam.com/video/T0jSzjjCf-8/v-deo.html
We want more keep the good work

I hope you have a good time. You might want to build up to that distance if you are not used to riding a kick scooter.
Thanks. I run that distance a lot so I figure that a bit of kicking & rolling will close the distance quicker with less effort. Worth a try!@@theWZZA

Check out the a5 prime, has an anti rattle system
@@Sandii_x I think the base model is the best bang for your buck, but premium features may be worth it to some people.

I think a new rear wheel is much cheaper than a new pair of shoes!
One would think that, but my shoes have held up remarkably well!
Hello gray t it seems u and i have the same ride ❤
This old dog just picked up a A6 Razor cheap on ebay to help with mobility and assistance back home from the new monorail.😅
Have fun and be careful 👍👍👍
Nice vid, so 10mph avg. Hm.
That was slightly downhill. Nowadays I am probably doing an 8mph pace. It's easier on the body.
@@theWZZA ,, I just did 15 miles on a5 scooter, my ebike died so had to adapt, sweaty. Am ordering the A6 bigger wheels. . .
@@amyself6678 Wow 15 miles is no joke! I think my leg would fall off. You are an iron man!
@@theWZZA ... At 10mph can go far in hour. Some youtuber did 45 miles over 7 hours along beach path. One coasts over half the time unlike biking...
