Today there is a wide variety of scooters, and it is often difficult to choose the right model. We used all the experience and customer reviews to write an article on the choice of a modern scooter. The review will explain in detail the device of the scooter, indicate which parameters and details to pay special attention to and help you choose the best model of scooter for an adult or young child.

Depending on the style and terrain of riding, scooters are divided into several types:

Depending on the style and terrain of riding, scooters are divided into several types: City scooters - the main type of scooters, they are designed for quiet walks on asphalt roads within the city and in parks. Their main difference is a wide convenient platform and a folding design. On more advanced scooters installed shock absorbers and inflatable wheels. The frame size depends on the size of the wheels: 80 - 150mm wheels for children up to 7 years old, 180 - 200mm wheels for teenagers over 7 years old, 200 - 250 mm wheels for adult men and women.

Three-wheeled kickboards - children's type of scooters for young children from 2 to 5 years. They are divided into scooters with twin front wheels, where the turn is made by tilting the hull and steering in the right direction, and with twin pair wheels with a more stable design and classic steering.

Stunt scooters - sports models, designed specifically for jumping and tricks on the ramp. They are distinguished by their durability and special compression system. The scooters are equipped with small wheels and the frame of the scooter has an awkward design.

MATERIAL WHEELS

Polyurethane wheels - the most common type of wheel on scooters. They are characterized by high wear resistance, noiseless hire and relatively inexpensive replacement cost. On urban and children's scooters, polyurethane wheels are installed on plastic discs, sports scooter wheels are completed with metal or plastic cores.

On inflatable rubber wheels more comfortable to ride on the tile and rough terrain. They are well absorb the bumps in the road. Rubber tire with a camera mounted on an aluminum disk. The diameter of the inflatable wheels varies from 20 to 50 cm.

BEARINGS

The higher the ABEC bearing class, the greater the speed and range of rolling from a single repulsion. ABES-3 and ABEC-5 bearings are most often used on children's scooters, they are characterized by high "vitality" and do not require special care. For adult urban and stunt scooters use the fastest bearings ABEC-7 and ABEC-9. The difference in high-end bearings is small, so the difference is almost not noticeable while riding.

DEPRECIATION

Shock absorbers soften the vibration of the ride and improve grip. The front shock absorber dampens vibrations transmitted from the front wheel to the steering wheel. Thanks to it hands, wrists and shoulders will not be tired. The rear shock absorber absorbs vibrations from the rear wheel transmitted to the platform. This will relieve the unpleasant sensations in the legs and knees. The work of two shock absorbers at the same time makes the ride smoother and more comfortable.
