Here is what he is missing:
He does not talk about suspension at all. Scooters with suspension exist.
He did not mention that PU-Wheels are useless in the rain. Air filled wheels are more comfortable, quieter but can get punctures, plus you need to check regulary for good pressure. But you won´t slip in the rain.
He does not say that a handbrake can be very useful when riding in dense traffic, e.g. on a crowded pedestrian area.
In general, steep hills are too dangerous for scooters because the brakes are not effective enough, they are not comparable to a bike brake system. So if you want to ride steep hills, scooters are out of the equation. An exception are dog scooters, but they are not foldable.
Locking up a scooter is also important, you need a way to lock it, consider that when buying one.
Reflective stickers are a safe addition for a commuting scooter.
A thin waterproof bag to put the scooter in so that its dirty wheels are no problem when riding a bus or train are a nice extra.
Last but not least, you can hang your rucksack over the handlebars to transport stuff without having the weight on you shoulders. But be warned, this is a very bad weight distribution, so lean backwards when riding.
Hi Flix,
Thank you for your comment, customer feedback is always greatly appreciated here at Micro. You do know your scooters! We would have loved to have included these points in such detail but we do try to keep our videos shorter for bite sized watching. Moreover, we do have a broad range of scooters catering from preschoolers all the way up to adults each with different features - so this video works as a quick summary. We will be sure to add some of your points in our videos in the future - watch this space :)
To add to your points:
The Suspension Feature, yes it is awesome, both our adult kick Suspension Scooter and emicro Merlin electric Scooter do have dual suspension for an ultra-smooth ride to help glide over the lumps and bumps.
We don’t recommend riding in the rain due to the potential of skidding - however if you do have to ride slowly and cautiously and with a helmet!
We do now have an adult kick scooter with the added feature of a handbrake which is the Downtown Scooter, do check it out if you're interested.
Kind regards.
@@microsupport6625 Hi micro Support, thank you for reaching out to me. I will certainly check out your Downtown Scooter as soon as it avaliable again (currently sold out I am afraid) and see how he compares to my frankenstein scooter that I patched together from 2 different scooters. If your R&D department is interested in even more detailed constructive customer feedback, send me mail(at)freelance-design.de I will be happy to share my experience or test your scooters.
if you've actually been riding a scooter for a while you will know you can ride in rain, you just need to like know what you're doing. also you would know that rubber tires add a lot of weight and cut your kick momentum quite a bit, feels very draggy. i would take the slippery wheels over draggy wheels any day. suspension is over rated on concrete, yeah it'll dampen rattling and vibration but you don't actually need it for anything on concrete. lifting the front wheel slightly and doing ollies is "skateboard suspension" enough.
How to add suspension? Simply fit rubber wheels 😀 and then inflate to 60 PSI like Razor A5 Air
I’m a college junior. People give me shit for riding a scooter instead of a skateboard but I can make it across campus pretty well
Lol go for it I plan to get a scooter too lmao don't give a shit what people think as long as you are happy fuck em
The skateboard is the most useless form of transport ever invented. Great for a skate park, awful everywhere else. Tiny wheels can't cope with uneven surfaces, there's no upper body support, making them hard work over longer distances, and they have no real brakes... for when zombies on their mobile phone walk, cycle or drive out in front of you. 🙄
a skateboard is just a worse version of kick scooter
@@ashy_slashy22👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
@@TTminh-wh8me👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏
Reliable mode of transport, as well as convenient to bring in places where they are needed.
Hide it under my bed, hide it in the trunk, hide it in the shopping cart, hide it under my desk. It’s a really great utility I enjoy.
Have fun. Good means of transportation and cheaper than a bike.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏
I still have the same Micro Scooter I had as a kid, with tiny wheels.
Im triggered everytime he says deck
*dick**
I kept checking my bottom when he said the deck. Lol
It sounds like dick
I can't have sound on so I put on captions and it said dick and I got very confused XD
I think it's a New Zealand accent
One of the reasons I chose your Micro Flex over your Micro White/Black is because of the clearance. The 2" deck height of the Micro White/Black is better than the 3" height of the Micro Flex's deck. The Micro Flex's somewhat flexy deck is fairly thin and even under weight doesn't get much closer to the ground. But the Micro White/Black's clearance is actually far less than 2" because of the design of the underside of the aluminum deck. If you could make a rigid deck with a 2" height and a clearance as close to 2" as possible, that would be preferable.
My Razor A5 Air has the perfect ultra low deck but can scrape if not careful but is very efficient! this is higher but almost as good and my Yedoo has about the same as this which could be the sweet spot when rolling over unexpected Double Twig!
He is saying “deck”, right?
Good to go lunch nearby. Eat and exercise.
Indeed

lmaooo
Its asthetically pleasing, the way he says "deck".
Is your deck too close to the pavement? LOL
@@martyvenida Considering he's a black dude, probably it is.
hahahahahahahaha
Love it! Where are the white-haired grandpas and grandmas riding scooters? See my Senior on a Xootr Scooter video!

80 yo here .. ride a sixteener in NYC parks
Should have bought one to get to work instead of a bike. Lots of spikey plants out here deflating my tires lmao
Or just use puncture resistant tyres and slime filled inner tubes on your bike.
i like the white model, where can i buy 1?
my scootle is a sixteener...installed a hinge for folding..
A freestyle scooter is also a good option, but you can not fold them
The handlebar stems on those are too short and the wheels too small and inefficient so you’re basically pushing nonstop. Also 12 years ago razor did make a folding version of their razor pro stunt scooter which I had.
They’re a lot safe then bikes if you tip over on a bike your ankle breaks getting tipped over on a scooter? That’s impossible you just stop with your foot you can even step up to get over curbs
Make sure the deck has enough space for both feet.

Why are zcooters limited to 100kg person. I am 120kg what can i buy
A jenny craig weight loss programme.
Fentastict
can it hold up to 210lbs man?what price for it in the u.s 2018?i never learn how to ride one..
Hi Kntwing. Our Adult Micro scooters have a maximum weight of 220lbs. If you are based in the U.S you are best contact the U.S distributor for prices and any general queries you may have - www.microkickboard.com
kntwing To start off with you could check your local Target for a Razor A5 Lux. They're able to hold 220 lbs, and have the larger 200mm wheels. Price range is $60-$90 depending on if you can find a website for Target to price match. (Sorry Micro, I know you guys have great products, I'm just giving an option to buy local...)
I’m 240lbs and I feel excluded..
@@rubenesparza129 live dangerously and buy
My scooter wheels are 10 inches or 250m, 200m is 8 inches.
Your wheels are 250 Metres? Wow, riding that must be fun! Most scooters have 250 millimetre (mm) or 25 centimetre (cm) wheels. 😉

What MODEL is this?
Hi Fisher Man - this is the Adults Micro White scooter, also known as the Classic White
Your kick scooter for adults its too low dude my scooter goes sssttttttt every time when i go to the humps
I need something exactly like this for a 10 km trip two times a day, on city paved bicycle paths... but I am 5'10" and 280 lbs... :(
Hi DaveB - our scooters are tested up to 100 kg but we do have customers that ride who exceed this limit and report no issues. It might be worth getting to one of your local Micro stockists to try and test the scooters in person to determine whether or not it would suit for what you are looking for.
@@microsupport6625 sir is this available in india I'm sty in india Mumbai city and I'm like 5,7 and 86kg please help
Lol tell me about it XD I'm around same height and 71 kg XD
The way he says deck doe..
search up trick scooters and buy one they are way better and you can ride skateparks
Because everyone on a scooter wants to ride skate parks? Do all bicycle riders want to do the Tour de France? Do all car drivers want to race? No, they don't. When you grow up in to an adult, you'll understand.
Dam micro scooters
The man with the brown boots can't get one foot properly on, nevermind two. This is a terrible advertisement. I am a woman with size 8 feet and this has put me off buying one as don't want a scooter with a deck that is too small.
Hi Ruth,
The man with the brown shoes was part of our team and is 6ft 5in with feet to match!
The foot area on the deck of the scooter in the video is 33cm, and would have plenty of room for a size 8 foot :)
Feel free to get in touch if you have any other questions about finding the right scooter for you.
All never by a scooter with out suspension... Just like this rubbish
Oxelo is much better than Micro.
It isn’t, their scooters are heavier and wheels harder, deck higher and there is more rattle too. They are still great scooter though for the wider deck and comfy handlebars
Micro scooters suck u should get a trick scooter
Trick scooters suck u should get a micro scooter. People called Ryan Quinn suck, you should change your name. I'm fairly certain not everyone shares the same opinions, but that doesn't mean you are right and they are wrong. 😉
Whoever created this video, have no experience riding a scooter. Sad thing is, this looks like official Micro video and I just checked another one - same thing. I understand these are no pro-riders, but still, they show improper riding stance. You don't keep a foot pointing towards the direction of the riding! This is not a skateboard! Fail!
The stance depends on the scooter and what you’re doing with it. If you’re doing certain tricks or riding a scooter that turns by leaning into the turn then, yeah you can stand the way you’re suggesting. But this scooter turns by turning the handles and also it’s mostly a commuter scooter. So you DO ride with your dominant foot facing forward in the direction of travel most of the time. There’s no fail here.
You don't keep a foot pointing towards on a skateboard. An outdated "fail" back to you.
I’ve ridden a micro scooter and have to say that the quality and ride are truly excellent. Plus their more comfortable and easy to transport than anything else. Andythousand.com
Most people ride scooters for tricks if ur gonna just ride around get a razor this tutorial is unnecessary
