Best Scooters for Adults

The relatively inexpensive Maraton scooter has an aluminum alloy frame and can withstand loads of up to 100 kg, making it a suitable choice for teenagers and adult riders. Convenience in storage and transportation is ensured not only by the folding design, but also by its limited weight (3.5 kg), as well as the presence of a strap for carrying on the shoulder.

The height-adjustable steering wheel increases the versatility of the Maraton Pro. Thus, the adjustment range from 81 to 105 cm will allow you to choose the optimal position of the steering column for users of almost any height. Plus, there is plenty of legroom on the deck - footspace is 36.5 by 13.5 cm.

The scooter is equipped with two wheels with a diameter of 20 cm and a thickness of 30 mm. The tires are made of polyurethane : they do not require pumping, are quite durable, provide good grip and rolling. Other features of the chassis include the presence of front shock absorption, which is designed to reduce vibrations on the steering wheel when riding on uneven surfaces, as well as the usual foot brake at the back.

It is also worth highlighting the presence of a footrest and a good variety of color variations that are available for sale. However, it should be taken into account that most modifications are quite bright and are aimed primarily at children. Otherwise, the Maraton Pro is an excellent choice for a wide audience of riders, especially if the purchase budget is limited.

The scooter of the Scale Sports brand is notable for its rich equipment. Thus, a bottle holder is initially screwed to the steering column, and a carrying strap, a bell and a flashlight are supplied with the model. The latter is suitable for the role of a front headlight: it will increase the visibility of the vehicle and the safety of trips in the dark.

As befits an urban solution, the Scale Sports SS-04 has a stand and a folding mechanism, and not only the steering wheel lowers to the deck, but the handles can also be fixed parallel to the stand (to achieve even more compact dimensions during storage or transportation). The model is available in various colors, including laconic black and white.

The load capacity is declared at 100 kg, which makes the transport a suitable choice for adult users. The deck width is 14 cm, and the legroom along the length reaches 33 cm, in addition, the platform is covered with non-slip sandpaper. Additional factors of reliability and safety include a rear disc brake, which facilitates a quick emergency stop.

The scooter is equipped with 20-centimeter polyurethane wheels and two shock absorbers for very comfortable overcoming of uneven sections of the road surface. The steering wheel can be set to one of three height positions: the minimum (81 cm) is suitable for children and teenagers, and the maximum (105 cm) is suitable for tall adults.

The downside of our test model is the friction of the brake disc against the pad, which can be solved by additional adjustment (relatively simple). Otherwise, the Scale Sports SS-04 is a solid scooter that belongs to the solutions at the junction of the entry-level and mid-price segments.

The folding scooter of the HUDORA brand attracts attention "in the flow", as it received an original V-shaped steering wheel. It not only acts as a design feature, but also has a positive effect on operational characteristics. In fact, this design can be considered a modification of the Bat-Wing, which increases reliability and readiness for intensive loads. And the manufacturer also claims that thanks to the steering wheel, the HUDORA Big Wheel Generation V 205 is more stable on turns and better holds the trajectory of movement set by the rider.

The model has 2 steering column height settings. The 92 cm option will be more convenient for teenagers, and 97 cm - for adults of average and tall height. With its own weight of 5.2 kg, the scooter is ready to withstand loads of up to 100 kg. The platform is also very versatile here, because its footspace is 35 by 14 cm.

The vehicle has the sought-after features of urban solutions, namely, it has a folding design, practical grips, a footrest, small mudguards, as well as several reflective elements, including on the steering wheel and rear brake plate.

The scooter's chassis is represented by 8-inch (20.5 cm) polyurethane wheels. They absorb light bumps well and compensate for the lack of additional cushioning: although on a dirt road or potholes, of course, it will not be very comfortable. Another important feature is the ABEC 7 class bearings. They are very reliable, maintain speed well and do not require complex maintenance: as for a non-stunt solution, they can be considered the optimal choice.

HUDORA Big Wheel Generation V 205 is a stylish and practical scooter for teenagers and adults.

In the Razor line, the A5 Lux scooter can be considered a balanced and quite versatile solution. It is recommended for users aged 8 years and over and weighing up to 100 kg, which means it is suitable for both children and adults. In addition, various color variations are available for sale - both discreet (black or white) and quite bright.

The model's features include a fairly light weight (3.8 kg) and a proprietary folding mechanism. Thus, a special lock is located slightly above the platform level (which will reduce the likelihood of it getting dirty) and takes a minimum of time and effort from the user. Such a design is especially in demand in an urban environment, where it will be possible to conveniently overcome flights of stairs, combine trips on the Razor A5 Lux with public transport, shopping, etc.

The scooter has a classic T-shaped handlebar with flexible height adjustment: not 2 or 3 settings are available, but the ability to set a suitable position in increments of a centimeter or even less. The maximum value reaches 98 cm and is suitable even for tall riders.

The model does not provide for additional shock-absorbing springs. But it has polyurethane wheels with a diameter of 20 cm, which perform well both on asphalt and on cobblestones. Separately, it is worth highlighting the basic bearings of class ABEC 5 : they provide a weak roll, although they are extremely unpretentious, that is, they are not afraid of dirt, puddles and other contaminants.

Razor A5 Lux is a scooter worthy of attention, which is able to show itself in the best possible way in everyday urban use.

One of the key features of the Globber brand model is a patented folding mechanism called 1sec. It provides really fast and easy folding: you just need to pull the clamp under the steering wheel and tilt the stand towards the deck. This converts the model into a trolley mode: with the ability to transport on the front wheel, which partly compensates for the not-so-light weight of 6.2 kg. And for long-term storage or transportation in a car, you can also fold the handles.

Globber One NL 230 Ultimate is capable of accelerating well, for which it has fairly large 9-inch wheels with polyurethane tires and high-quality ABEC 9 bearings: they are even ready for jumps and have an impeccable roll, but are sensitive to dirt, so it is better to protect them from dirt. In addition to the usual foot brake, the model is also equipped with a hand brake. But there is no shock absorption, which should be attributed to the shortcomings of the scooter.

The vehicle is aimed at teenagers from 14 years old and adults, which is confirmed by the readiness for loads up to 100 kg and a solid height of the steering column. In addition, the latter is adjustable (there are three slots for fixation) and will suit riders from 155 to 200 cm tall.

Among the bonuses of the equipment, one can highlight the bell. And the absence of a footrest is compensated by the above-mentioned lock for folding: its activation “puts the model on the bottom” and provides very stable vertical parking.

Globber One NL 230 Ultimate is a scooter that is definitely suitable for those who value speed (both riding and folding).
