How to choose a scooter
The design of a modern scooter without an electric motor is not some kind of complex system. However, there are a few things to keep in mind before buying. Therefore we asked sports store consultant Ilnur Salikhov talk about what to look for when choosing the best scooter for adults in 2022.
Type of scooter
All models are divided into urban, off-road and sports. The main difference lies in the design. City scooters look “usually” – the wheels are the same small size, the steering wheel can be adjusted to suit you and there is a foot brake. Off-road models are equipped with large wheels and disc brakes – they can be driven over bumps without any problems. Finally, there are sports and stunt scooters with small wheels, fixed handlebars and no brakes. Most city scooters are foldable, which means they are easy to carry.
Wheels
Now on the mass market there are two types of wheels: polyurethane and rubber. The former are most common, they are considered a universal option, but they are inferior to rubber counterparts in smoothness – the rider will feel every bump. With rubber wheels, the ride will be softer, but you will have to pay for comfort with a small coast – the rubber will “eat up” the speed and you will have to push off with your feet more often.
Another important parameter is the diameter of the wheel. The larger it is, the more comfortable it will be to ride a scooter. The optimal parameter for the city is 20 cm.
You should also pay attention to the bearings used in the scooter. Models must comply with the international ABEC certification (5, 7 or 9 class).
Deck
The deck, or platform, is what you stand on while riding a scooter. For adults, it will be optimal to choose a design made of durable and lightweight aluminum. It will withstand even the largest riders weighing up to 150 kg. Be sure to “try on” the deck of the scooter before buying it. You may find that it is too narrow for the width of your foot. The height of the deck directly affects the clearance of the scooter – the larger it is, the more you need to lower your leg while pushing off the surface.
The weight
The mass of the scooter directly depends on the body materials and the number of attachments. Now you rarely see models made of steel, so the average weight of the best scooters for adults is about 5-6 kg. Before buying a heavy off-road scooter, think about how much you need its cross-country ability, on which the weight also depends.
