and boy am I happy! Couldn't stop saying how beautiful it was when I picked her up from my bike guy. (He was pretty enthusiastic himself.) Just a work of art. Took her on her virgin scoot to show her off to a couple of different friends. The brakes feel super smooth, the ride is great (would be smoother with different tires but these work for me for now), and I'm not sure if it's much easier going up hill or if my jubilation was making it seem so. The floorboard is not as long as the Mibo, so when doing the leg change dance (as opposed to the hop skip) there's a little less wiggle room when you straighten your foot out, but the feet seemed to adapt quickly. I scooted to a bus layover to try out the bike rack and as I was told by a few of you here, yes, it works! The front tire sits comfortably, the rear tire not really (especially when the "arm" slides all the way to the top of the front wheel). I may bungee the footboard near the back wheel the fi rst few times just for safety's sake, but I think even without it, it's not going anywhere. Later in the week I'm planning on bussing down to the beach and having a ride on the bike path toward Malibu. I was expecting the front wheel to be quick release, but it's the back wheel. The good part of that is I don't have to worry so much about locking the tires, as I think it's unlikely anyone will go for the 12.5 incher. Front AND rear mudguards! Gosh, I don't even want to go to bed just thinking of them! Oh, and one thing I didn't think I'd want that it turns out I really like is the kickstand. I rode a previous generation Kickbike last summer and the kickstand kept dropping and getting in the way. They got it right this time. I found it pretty cool to use when talking with friends I was visiting and it should come in handy when riding the subway. Really this scoot has exceeded my expectations. I think the Mibo was the perfect first scooter for me and this one the p erfect second!
