... Thanks. I'm sorry, I must have missed Dorlene's info in my research. Low deck height hopefully won't be an issue, as I hope to soon have a Kickbike...
It seems that while my Razor A5 has a significantly lower rolling resistance at low speeds than my Xootr Mg, at high speeds the difference between the two...
Edward, you and other have previously commented that the Viza Kikit Air is not a high-performance scooter because it has pneumatic tires. I wonder if that's...
Hi John, It's a little hard for me to compare the glide between my Kikit Air, and the Xootr Street I owned about 7 years ago. It's been a while obviously. I do...
... Whoops! I didn't mean to sound like I was trying to sell you on the idea of getting a complete Viza scooter. I just re-read your post and seen where you...
Wow, John - thanks for the information on the Viza Kikit and it's high pressure air tires. I just looked up information on www.vizamotors.com and discovered...
Thanks for the info, Edward! Based on the wheel measurements you sent, the Kikit Air wheels might be too wide to fit in Xootr Mg or Micro Black, but I think...
Karen, I agree, $48 is a great price for an adult scooter. Note that the Razor A5 only weighs 8 lbs, not 13 lbs, though. I also want to comment on your...
Hummm - Amazon quotes the Razor weight as 13 lbs. Prior to breaking my arm, I did try the Xooter. The sidewalk in front of the NY Xooter shop is like any NY...
... They also list the shipping weight, which includes the scooter and all the packaging, as 9.4 lbs. Wonder how they do that... ;-) Seriously, both Amazon...
Great pictures - on the platform, how much room is left after a man-sized shoe is on it? The Razor A5 seemed to have a platform size of one man's shoe. The...
John, I think the Kikit Air's tires are only about 1/4" wider than the Xootr's but I'm not sure. On VizaMotors website, it lists the "Kikit Air Tire Assembly"...
Hi, I wear a size 11 sneaker, and that leaves almost 3" of space on the deck. I'm thinking that the deck could probably accommodate up to a size 14 shoe or so....
Hi All, I'd like to get a kick scooter for my commute from either Penn Sta. or the Port Authority to my office in Chelsea. I'm leaning towards the Razor A5....
The Roma is about the same length as the MG. I strongly recommend a hand brake if you are in a crowded pedestrian area. I simply would not ride a scooter...
Getting ready to move has given me the impetus to sell. I've got a slightly used Xooter MG, given scooting a fair chance and decided it's not for me. Anyone...
Hi all, Well, I wasn't going to spill the beans this way, but I have to agree with Pam about not having a front brake on my A5, so what else does a mechanical...
Your short commute is great for a scooter, and either choice will work very well. Better than a folding bike. I had a Roma for a similar commute. It worked,...
I thought I had to share this funny but true story with you: Last week I visited the NYC Auto Show on my Xootr Venus to avoid paying for subway rides and to...
I was at the Nurnberg toy show in January, which is a BIG show requiring hours of walking. Even though Xootr didn't exhibit (Micro had a big booth. as did...
With respect to front brakes - if one only had a front brake on a bicycle and used it to come to a quick stop, he'd go over the handlebars. How is a scooter...
I actually find that my rear brake on the A5 is better than the front brake on the MG. I wouldn't worry about an A5 in traffic. ... From: powershrimp...
Naw -Â downhill mountain bikers still grab a fistful of the front brake when you need to stop. The back brake you can lock it up/skid but it doesn't provide...
I think the thing is that on bikes, you have a front and rear break. You don't want one or the other. I'm assuming that speeding would be difficult through the...
We've had Xootrs for nine years and we use them heavily. No one has gone over the handlebars, or even come close. It just doesn't happen. I suppose it would...
You have got to be kidding. You hit the brake and you stopped? Are you on level dry ground going 2mph? Do you think those will be the only conditions you...
You are right about gravity causing the front brakes to work the hardest. Just look at any motorcycle and see how much bigger the front brakes are. Still, this...
