Kid scooters were the first to be created a few decades ago. They have now come back, and they are no longer limited to kids.  It does not matter whether you are planning to ride around or commuting to work; these tips can help you find the right adult scooter.

Folding Mechanism

The main types of folding mechanisms include single-action and three-action. The latter one is the most common, and it involves three steps: securing clamp in place, moving the pin and releasing the clamp. On the other hand, the single-action mechanism is a relatively newer concept that skips some steps and just moves the pin. Some people say that this design is not reliable, whereas others like it because of its convenience.

Suspension

Adult scooters have spring suspension that is attached to the back or front of the scooter. As you know, the purpose of the suspension system is to absorb shock. That means it reduces the number of vibrations that you may feel in your hands and feet while riding. A good suspension system ensures your ride is more comfortable. However, it adds extra weight to the scooter design.

Brakes

Adult scooters have a brake on the back wheel, and you can push it down with your foot. In fact, this is a common design. You can also find other scooters with brake levels on handlebars, the same as riding a bike. Some people like the traditional style, whereas others like bike-style.

Deck Size

There is a need to have a look at the deck of a scooter. The two sizes are small and large. However, they are likely to vary by a few inches. The larger ones are ideal if you need more space.

Wheel Size

When looking at various scooters, you may realize that they are available in varying wheel sizes. Some have two wheels of the same size, and others have a large one. Actually, there are seven different wheel sizes that range from 100 mm to 250 mm. The good thing about larger wheels is that they provide a lot of stability and can absorb more shock. Unfortunately, they add a lot of weight to your adult scooter. On the other hand, smaller wheels make it easy to carry the scooter, and you can speed it up easily.
