It looks terrific, bonmot -- very elegant and adultlike. I like your strap with the pad -- looks more comfortable and less likely to fall off your shoulder...
Thanks for the positive feedback, everyone. I've uploaded the pic to the photos area. The great thing about this set of modifications is how easy they are. The...
Cool! I wonder if it would look even better if you painted the metal parts black or gray. Matte paint might look better than glossy. Wilfredo Viray reported...
I got one of my scoots from the neighbor lady who sold me her teenage daughters scoot for $20, she need cig money. It was pink and white, with the title Little...
I am wondering whether I could put a Micro Kick wheel on my Xootr (rear) to soften up the ride a bit. Any other ideas for taking some of the vibration out of...
Hi, I looked into this a bit and understood that to have the greatest impact it would be the front wheel you'd want to replace. Any way, I considered adding a...
... Hash: SHA1 ... Try wearing bike gloves. They have padded palms which help greatly with vibration. Glide with your knees slightly bent so that they can move...
I second this. There once was an electric scooter that used a thin rubber platform between the bottom of the frame and the platform, called the Go Motorboard....
Thanks for the input. This is for my project scooter (picture is posted under Roberts Project). I put a BMC hub motor on the front (top speed about 15mph)...

Sounds like good advice. I don't use them on the Xootr but bike gloves make all the difference on the bike. You might upgrade the handlebar grips, too. I know...
Hello group, Â As a quick intro, I've been using a scooter as a part of my commute since summer 2009. Â I'm on my 3rd scooter as my Razor A5 and Airwalk...
If you live in NYC pick up a copy of today's Post and read "Hell on Wheels!" by Kyle Smith on pages 67 and 68. It's a hilarious tongue-in-cheek piece about...
Thanks for the link. Any publicity is good publicity I guess! Has anyone in the forum actually crashed into a fellow scooter rider or a pedestrian on the...
Never crashed into anyone, although it's understandable that pedestrains feel nervous and sometimes recoil when they see me on crowded NYC sidewalks. That's...
Ideally, NMT lanes should be located between parked cars/spaces and the curb, protecting riders from traffic, and should accommodate riders in both directions....
I'm the new owner of a 12" pneumatic rear wheel. The head of my floor pump won't clear the spokes. So here's a question of any of you with similar wheels:...
A quick hello from Colorado. Our 6-yo son has the obligatory Razor scooter, and is fairly addicted to it at the moment. I made the mistake of scooting around...
I don't know exactly what your wheel looks like, but maybe something like the Road Morph would work? The Road Morph sort of works like a floor pump -- it's...
I know how individualistic we are(remember getting mtn. bikers to organize?) but I'm just looking for a local kickscooting group in NorCal. Have xootr, will...
how do you stop on a downhill? My Xootr front brake is about shot, and I was in Riverside yesterday on hills. I managed to jump off okay, but it was not a good...
With the A5, when going at a high speed downhill, I make sure that I'm slowing down before I get to the bottom, to ensure comfortable foot braking. In the few...
... Hash: SHA1 ... I strongly advise getting a rear fender brake. You should be able to fix whatever is wrong with your front brake. You may need to tighten...
I'm replacing the front brake pad today -- I just didn't realize how worn out it is until I tried braking while going downhill. I do have a rear fender brake....
This might not be a one-size-fits-all solution, but if you stop in the middle of a hill and turn your scooter 90 degrees so it's perpendicular to the hill, the...
