Top 10 best adult scooter 2022 pick by experts

My roommate and I absolutely love this Razor scooter. I’m one of the many, many people who had a scooter as a kid, were sad when they outgrew it, and eventually came across this one years later, which is built for bigger/older riders. My life has been really rough lately, but when I’m riding this scooter, I am so happy that I forget everything else around me. Granted, I’ve only had this thing for two days, but my roommate and I have ridden it about 4-5 miles between us in that amount of time. I will try to update my review as time passes, because I hope this scooter will last me a long time.Pros: For me, I am not picky. I honestly love everything about this scooter, but I know a few details might annoy others, so I will try and list those in the cons. I love the height of the handlebars, and the width, as well. It suits me well, and I’m pretty short (5’1″). The wheels surprised me, in a good way. They have a lot more grip than I was expecting, and I haven’t had any problems with slippery wheels on smooth surfaces or anything. I was shocked at how smooth the ride was. I expected hard, rattly plastic and thin-feeling metal like on my old scooter from 15-ish years ago, but the Razor A5 LUX feels solid to me. It glides very, very smoothly across various kinds of paved surfaces. It also continues to roll very smoothly over long distances with very few kicks. My roommate, as well, is amazed at how smooth it is to ride. The grip tape is also very nice, not as rough as on a skateboard, but gritty enough to make me confident that I’m not going to slip right off if the scooter gets wet or if I wear shoes with less grip. My feet fit on it nicely, with room to spare (I wear a women’s shoe size 9 1/2 wide.) If I start rolling with one foot off to one side of the deck, then I can even stand on it with both feet side-by-side after I pick up some speed. It’s very quiet and the steering is easy and smooth. The entire scooter is simple to break down, as well, for easy transport while walking or driving elsewhere. I have mine in a medium-sized cloth bag, shaped like the bags you can use at grocery stores if you don’t want a bunch of plastic bags. I also love the scooter’s color, and its design! I have already gotten several compliments on it at a few of the parks I’ve ridden it through. It requires no assembly; just take it out of the box, unfold/click all its parts back into place, and you’re ready to roll! The blue version also comes with a kickstand, which is wonderful for when my roommate and I stop to take pictures of something or look at the wildlife or whatever. I’ve heard that the red version does not include a kickstand. My scooter, by the way, was manufactured in July of this year, 2015. Therefore, it’s one of the most recent models.Cons: These are not necessarily “cons”, but they are definitely things you should be aware of. For starters, if you wish to adjust the tightness on the steering column or the quick-release tension, you will need a 3 mm and a 5 mm Allen wrench, respectively. These tools are listed as coming with the scooter if ordered new in the box, but as many others have noted, they do not. You will need to acquire your own. I knew this ahead of time, so it was a non-issue, but I have not needed to adjust anything yet. Everything was perfectly tightened straight out of the box. Also, keep in mind that a scooter is not a bicycle; just as you wouldn’t ride a skateboard through rough terrain, do not try and ride this scooter through rough terrain. Gravel is a no-no, and any major bumps in the pavement (debris, wide cracks, or tall seams in the pavement) cannot be safely ridden over. It even says as much in the manual: “Scooters are intended for use on solid, flat, clean, and dry surfaces, such as pavement or level ground without loose debris, such as rocks or gravel” (Razor A5 LUX Scooter Owner’s Manual, printed in 2014). However, I was very curious about what would happen if this scooter was ridden in the rain. I am considering using the Razor A5 LUX as an alternate mode of transportation to my workplace, less than 2 miles down the street from my home. What would happen if it started to rain as I was leaving work, or on my way back from the grocery store a mile down the road? It just so happened that last night and this morning, we had our first rainstorm since earlier this year, so I decided to ride it for a bit through some wet pavement, to see how scary of a ride it could be. Surprisingly, I could tell no difference. My personal fear of riding quickly over a wet surface slowed me down way more than the scooter ever did. It seemed to lose no traction whatsoever, and I never lost control of it. Here’s the catch, though, which I also knew about ahead of time thanks to previous reviews: back-splatter. If you absolutely must ride this scooter in the rain, then please remember to go slowly, and DO NOT use the brake. Muddy water from the back tire will thoroughly coat the back of your legs from your ankles nearly up to your back. A small bit of back-splatter still happens even if you do not use the brakes at all. In conclusion, try your best to do as the manual says: don’t ride it in the rain. 🙂 About the brake, now… it will not actually stop you instantly if you tap on it. Nor should it do so. If it did stop you instantly, you’d go flying off your scooter and into a wall or something. The brake will instead gently slow down your speed until you can safely step off. Do not expect a quick stop, so be mindful of your surroundings. Finally, make sure every component is securely locked into place before riding. The handlebars each pop out via a spring-loaded button and dangle down from a stretchy cord for easy storage. The handlebar height (T-bar) is also adjusted via a spring-loaded button, as well as a quick-release lever. When adjusting height or re-securing handlebars, it is very important to make sure the buttons are fully snapped into their “lock” positions and the quick-release lever is tight and closed. If any of these are not secure, the entire steering system is compromised, and could fail during your ride (ending in obvious pain).All in all, I love this scooter. I love that its wheels are grippier than I imagined. I love that my feet fit comfortably on it. I love its color, and its clever design. I love that it rides smoothly, and feels safe. And, most of all, I love how happy and relaxed I feel when I’m riding it out and about. I bought this scooter to have fun with, and boy, I am sure having a blast. I highly recommend this scooter. We’ll see what the future brings, but for right now, all I want to do is ride this thing absolutely everywhere! :)*UPDATE*: One(ish) year later! I have to say, this little guy still exceeds my expectations. I haven’t gotten a chance to take it all the way to my workplace and back yet, but I have gone on some practice runs out that way, and it sure is a great workout! 🙂 Lots of hills and narrow sidewalks, and it handles them so easily. Between me and my best friend, we have put over 20 miles on it just in town, and I have no idea how many more I put on it when I started using it as a primary form of exercise over this summer. I would do laps around a local park’s paved trail while my friends power-walked. I discovered that it’s pretty good for cardio, getting the ol’ heart pumping hard to keep pace with my legs that are pushing me along. It also proved to be a workout for my arms, as well. You don’t usually have to constantly steer something when walking, so more muscles are used, and balancing on a scooter in general helped my legs feel stronger.Even my 65-year-old dad gave it a whirl while he was up visiting me this summer, and he had a blast! He took it around the park several times, building up so much speed that I was worried for his safety, but I forget that he used to ride motorcycles “back in the day”, so he’s competent at balance and speed. He’s pretty tall, too, but not super-heavy. He was able to ride my scooter with no difficulty.As far as handling goes, this scooter is still phenomenal. The ride is still very smooth, and I have gotten brave enough to not be afraid of every leaf and small twig in my path; it always glides right over them. The steering is still tight and smooth (goodness, pretty much everything about this scooter is “smooth”). Its tires are still in great shape. Of course, like I said before, this thing is not meant for gravel–use a bike if you want to go off-roading. The grip for my feet is still grippy–I don’t feel like I’m going to slip off of the thing, ever. I never break down the handlebars when I store it, simply because I don’t need to; folding it up and shortening the steering column is all that’s needed for it to fit in my hall closet. So nothing new to report on handlebar assembly/disassembly.I have noticed a black grease-like substance around the handlebars at times, and I haven’t really investigated to see what/where it originates from. Is it actual grease from inside the steering column, or is it the result of moisture on the black foam handles? Nevertheless, be wary of it. It probably washes out of clothing, but if you’re wearing something delicate and hard to wash thoroughly, try not to rub it at the base of the black foam handles. It’s never been a real issue for me, and just to be extra-safe, I have a large plastic cover over the handles during storage and vehicle-transportation so the mystery grease won’t get on anything it’s not supposed to. Problem solved. :)I think I may have only needed to tighten one part of the scooter once… It’s hard to remember, so it’s obviously not a common problem for me. No part of the scooter as a whole has broken or fallen off or anything. I really enjoy taking it on birdwatching trips at one of our nearby paved trails; the trail covers about 60 miles with few access points, so getting anywhere quickly on it used to be a challenge. Not anymore, though, with this awesome Razor scooter! 🙂 I can glide the 2 miles down to my favorite birdwatching spot in no time flat, and with the blue-version-exclusive kickstand, I can just set it off to the side while I’m photographing all the wildlife. When I’m done, I just sling my pack over my back, hop back on my scooter, and zoom the 2 miles back to the car. So simple and exhilarating! If the weather is exceptionally nasty, I will sometimes just ride it back and forth inside the house to get my fill of gliding around on it for the day. :)In summary: after over a year of riding, I still love this scooter. I would still recommend it in a heartbeat to someone. It’s so much fun, and with proper use, I expect this amazing piece of equipment to last–and bring joy to me–for a very, very long time.

Por ser primera vez que tengo una patineta, me la compré sin motor para ver cómo me iba, antes de comprar una con motor. Me llamó la atención el tamaño de la rueda, 9 pulgadas, aunque lamentablemente perdieron esta ventaja al hacerle tan bajito el chasis, usándola en la acera, un día pasé por un desnivel y chocó el fondo de la patineta con el desnivel, produciéndose un raspón con apenas una semana de uso, por lo que prefiero usarla en la calle, uso luces, chaleco reflector y espejo en mi casco, todo por seguridad. Al ser la llanta maciza y no tener amortiguadores la patineta, se hace rudo el uso, porque se siente todo, los rodamientos ya se aflojaron, a veces la rueda trasera como que hace que se quiere ir de lado como si se resbalara. $50 es mucha diferencia por tener una rueda de 9 pulgadas en vez de 8.El diseño es bonito, deportivo.Gracias

The scooter is good, BUT the descriptions is NOT accurate.1. The maximum load is 100kg, or 220 pounds. NOT 250 pounds as advertised2. There are only four (4) heights adjustment, NOT 5 as advertised3. There are NO Suspension, this scooter advertised DUAL SuspensionI contacted the seller regarding these issues, but he/she never responded!I also asked the seller what kind of bearings, he/she never replied to my question. BTW, the bearing is ABEC 5.

First thing I noticed was the broken bell. The light-weight plastic broke in the center and I can’t repair or reassemble it. But that’s okay, I took the bell from my old bike and will be attaching it later. The scooter itself, my goodness does it feel like quality unlike the bell. I’m around 275 lbs and 5′ 5″. The handle bars are adjustable in 4 heights. Unable to do in-between heights due to mechanism used to adjust it. Handlebars are comfortable and easy to assemble and store. Popping it from folded to open will take some practice but it is only unfold until the lock clicks. This is much easier than other folding scooters I’ve seen on the internet. When folded, the strap is great for slinging it over shoulders. Scooter isn’t too heavy so I can lift it with ease. The speed on this baby, oh my! Definitely better than the scooters I test drove in past. Not hard on my legs to kick, the wheels spin wonderfully and goes for a while before needing another boost. The kick stand is stiff yet easy to put down but it is violent when it is kicked back up. Be prepared for a loud ting sound. (I attached a light to it, not included with scooter). Highly recommend. This feels like a scooter of quality… Except the bell is all.

I will recommend the Osprey BMX kick scooter for its quality of build and craftsmanship, especially at the below $150 price range.If you are familiar with assembling or working on bicycles it should take about 30 minutes to assemble. If you are not familiar with bikes I recommend you take the scooter to your local bike shop for assembly.The only downside is that the kickstand did not make it. It was not included in the box. I have contacted the seller. We’ll see if they respond. I’ll post updates here.Update: The seller responded in a timely manner. They said the scooter does NOT come with a kickstand. Clearly, the photos show otherwise.

Overall nice looking sturdy scooter. Has a bell and is large enough for my older child. Wheels are larger and help her use it even in grass. 1star off because there was a sharp edge to the little kick stand that had to be sanded down. It actually cut my daughter’s foot.

Have ridden this scooter for 5 days, so far so good. No assembling required. Rides pretty smooth. There is one street in my neighborhood that is a little rough, so not sure if the shock in front is even doing anything, but everywhere else is smooth riding. I’m closer to 200lbs and it’s held up well. Easy to collapse and carry. I like that it includes a strap and kickstand. Usually when I’m coasting, my kicking foot is either resting on my other foot, or on its toes at the back close to the brake. Shoe is US size 10.5M (I wouldn’t stand both feet side by side because you gotta stay ready to stop or keep kicking to go).

Used it for about a week now and I gotta say, this scooter feels super nice! The front shock-obsorber, in combination with the slightly thicker than average wheels make the riding experience really smooth! I can hardly feel the jolt those thin grooves on the sidewalk would give you on a traditional scooter. It also rides a lot more quiet than I was expecting, probably thanks to the brake pedal hinge design… Handlebar clamp is top tier, and having a kickstand on this thing is perfect. I will say it is a bit difficult to engage the stand without having to bend over and do it by hand, but at least it’s there. The brake light is pretty cool, and the battery is easy enough to replace, although I wish it were button operated and had a solid “always on” mode in addition to the blinking that happens when it detects motion.This kind of goes without saying, but don’t expect to go places with this thing on grass. Dead grass and very solid dirt, maybe, but grass is a no go.Also, the brake can slow you down, but will not stop you.Keep those things in mind, and it’s the best scooter you can buy for the price!

The scooter came quick and was easy to get it ready for my son to ride. Works really well and he like having a kick stand so he Diane have to lay it down on the ground.

advertisement could be a little truthful for person over 225lbs. board not long enough for over weight person. fun to ride but unsecure because of short board stand and braking system very iffy.

It’s been decades since I did anything like write a scooter; this was pretty easy to get into. I’d suggest taking it slow, though, and be sure. you get the hang of the brakes before you get too comfortable zipping along! Bumps in the road or sidewalk are more prone to stop you than on a bike–so be careful. Overall, a great time saver without guzzling gas!

We bought several scooters at the same time. Some from LaScoota, some from another mfr. Overall, the LaScoota cost more, but it was perfect for me (5’10” adult 230lbs). We scooted ~8 miles the day we used them, chasing a family member around Chicago, during the marathon. We traveled on the subway (el) and also scooted from place to place. This unit is a few pounds heavier than the next competitor, but it wasn’t heavy. Everyone who rode both, agreed the Lascoota was the most sturdy. It folds up easy enough. It’s easy to carry. The larger wheels on this unit were perfect for rough, uneven pavement. You need the larger wheels, because small wheels will get caught in the cracks. I felt fine using this. The handlebars on this, extend a couple inches higher than the competitor. My 6′ son used one, and appreciated the taller height on the bars, also. It’s a bit bigger than the next closest competitor, and a bit more, but worth it if you want the feeling of solid, sturdy, tall. CONS: The product description changes, when you put it into a cart. Ours changed from Charcoal to Pink. Amazon Cust Svc looked at it, and themselves were confused. We didn’t know what I was going to get, when it arrived. Thankfully, we got charcoal, matching the original product selection (not the cart). Lascoota has a website contact page, it’s was no help to me. They took days to respond, “if” they responded, and their eventual response didn’t help. If you have questions, contact the Lascoota store here on Amazon. They’re much more responsive, and helpful in their answers. Overall, glad we purchased.

Very nice, sturdy and it looks great. Definitely worth the price. My 10 year old loves it!!

This was the second one I bought but this time it did not come assembled. The last screw was bent and I had to return. I would buy it again as long as I don’t have to put to together from scratch.

it’s a good scooter, a bit heavy for me but it’s as light as it will get.for anyone struggling to fold it, I also couldn’t fold it at first, but the issue is it can’t fold if it’s standing up on both wheels – you gotta turn it on the side to fold.
