Adult scooter purchase needs attention

Adult scooter's load capacity 

 1. Considering the problems of body weight, braking distance, etc., the load capacity of an adult scooter cannot be compared with that of a bicycle or a roller skate. 

 2. Most adult scooters have a load capacity of more than 80 kg, and personally recommend a scooter with a weight of about 100 kg.

Wheel diameter, hardness and wear resistance 

 1. The larger the wheel diameter, the higher the "chassis" and center of gravity of the car, and the faster the taxi speed. For commuters over 5 km, it is recommended to choose an adult scooter with a wheel diameter of 170-220MM. 

 2. The higher the hardness of the wheel, the better the elasticity and comfort, but the wear resistance of the wheel with good elasticity will be worse. Taking into account the urban road conditions and comfort requirements, it is recommended to choose an adult scooter with a wheel hardness of about 85A. 

 3. Due to load status, brakes, etc., the degree of wear of the front and rear wheels varies greatly. It is recommended that the front and rear wheels be adjusted according to the wear condition every 500 km or so. If the wear is serious, all replacements should be considered.

Braking method 

 1. Consider the safety issue, please choose the adult scooter with rear brakes. 

 2. Adult scooters with smaller wheels and slower speeds usually use pedal-type tailgate brakes. 

 3. Adult scooters with larger wheels and faster speeds are best equipped with mechanical resistance brakes with brake lines and hand brakes.

Quick folding function 

 I know that there are many commuters who choose adult scooters. The convenience of adult scooters is light, fast, safe and free. Although there are many advantages, adult scooters with efficient folding function will be more popular considering the steps in the road, the subway car, and the storage space in the office.

Vibration reduction function 

 1. Unlike the inflatable rubber tires for bicycles, the wheels of an adult scooter have almost no shock absorption. 

2. Adult scooters without damping function are more suitable for short-distance driving in a smooth road environment. Long-distance driving over 10 km usually brings discomfort to the legs, feet and hips (such as numbness in both arms). 

 3. Adult scooters with front-end (or front and rear) shock absorption functions will be much more comfortable, and there is not much pressure in the case of running on a regular asphalt road for 20 kilometers.

weight 

 1. Most adult scooters weigh about 5KG, and entry-level small adult scooters may have a weight of about 4 kg. Products with new material technology can even reduce the weight to less than 3 kg (very expensive) 

2. If you buy an adult scooter that is bigger and more professional, you should fully consider the portability problem. Usually, the 6 kg adult scooter should provide folding and towing functions.
