Robert, I have to disagree with your posting. I never said that the design was poor nor that Xootr "cut their tolerance a bit too close". As a mechanical...

Most scooter wheels aren't decide to cope with holes. Steer around holes and you will be fine. I've never had a fear of scooter endo, but I'm pretty cautious...

I would think that wouldn't be so bad. When the front wheel stops, the rest of the scooter (or bike) and you keep going, so head over wheel. When the back...

I agree, the Razor A5 is better suited for shorter trips and being more compact and lighter than a Xootr makes it great to run quick errands. I personally just...
