The reason I ride an adult commuter is because 1. Portability. I find that businesses don't mind you coming into their shops as long as you have the scooter folded up. 2. The streets and sidewalks are pretty horrible in my city. I feel like having smaller wheels would put me at a greater risk for a wipe out...

[@RHINOTACTICAL]

Wel,....try it im 54 ride through a ricky and crowded city a d....its a lot safe because really they are built tougher and you can sling em on your shoulder for shops...Try it, youll like it and have a smaller tougher and more efficient scoot to deal with.....regular Razors are dangerous in my opinion skate scoots are not....very forgiving and rigid. Peace bro.

[@martinsozola8526]

Jon the reason why I use an adult scooter is 1 the necesity to fold to fit the scooter in a small bus or locker room and 2 I need bigger wheels and even suspension to deal with shitty gritty streets and terrain. Wish this sort of scooter were tougher tho because I do jump and small tricks while communting but I got lucky with my cheap €30 lidl scooter

[@johnstevenson1368]

Won't the bigger wheels roll over debris like gravel and cracks easier? I would like a "Pro" scooter, but I am assuming the larger wheels will handle debris and bad surface better?

[@locuscades1906]

Yes. He only uses it on flat surfaces he can't jump over.

[@cyrfung]

Same reason why longboards and mini cruisers have larger wheels than skateboard built for doing tricks. And it seems the trick scooters are not foldable? That’s important for commuting too.

[@HyenaBlank]

I started looking up scooters again recently myself, and there's this one brand called Sidewalker I assume would count as those 'adult scooters' and tthey don't even have plastic tires, they have inflated ones much like bikes. And one particular version they sell practially IS a scooter with bike tires. But yeah, that's my thought too, I remember in my youth when I had a scooter for a short time, those little ol clunky ankle busters they were, that hard solid tiny wheel constantly getting snagged on any slight rough surface Like I can understand why he strongly favors those ones, even if this is like the first video I've come across of his, he seems to be heavily into scooters as a form of sport and entertainment, so he needs those more rigid and lightweight kind, as for me, I'm more looking at em as a more casual purpose as a form of transportion that's kind of a happy simplier medium between walking and bikes

[@Pentecostalchild]

They do roll over debris and cracks Its heavier to jump with but when you do the land is very sturdy.

[@Bernard_Ashtree]

because bigger wheels are better over uneven terrain, stiffer urethane equals less friction and folding handlebars equals more ease of public transportation...

[@Agumon5]

Here's why I, as a grown ass 31 year old man bought an adult scooter and not a trick scooter. #1 I am 6.2 tall ( I do not like to hunch over when I ride). My foot size is 14. I couldn't find many scooters anywhere near my area that accommodated my height and foot size. Online, I found a few. First, I bought the Xootr Cruz, was nice, but had an issue with the handle bar latch getting lose over time. I returned it, now I am riding on a Razor A6 and love it (my foot is quite cramped though, but its functional). With regard to large wheels, I just like how they look, but agree that the ones that come in many adult kick scooters are not ideal. The final reason I got an adult kick scooter is because of the folding ability. I work in an office setting, and being able to just fold the scooter and put it under my desk is ideal for me. Lastly, I paid less than $130.

[@zephyr_]

Hey, I am also looking to get a scooter to get to my train and then to work to my office. Does the A6 make a lot of sound when riding on uneven/hard surfaces? Also, in general, does the A6 rattle a lot? I have tried prodigy s8 street edition but it was just so much harder to push around even on a normal surface (pavement), and made way too much noise for my liking - I am returning it soon, and hoping to spend $200 on a good adult scooter.

[@Agumon5]

@@zephyr_ I will say this about the A6, I would never recommend riding it in uneven surfaces. The wheels are really not designed for that. With regard to the Rattle and Noise, it has an anti rattle system where you twist a lever to keep it from rattling. The anti rattle system is not ideal though, and will eventually fail and no longer be usable after about a year.

[@spywriter007]

@@zephyr_ I have a folding Razor A5 Air scooter and it's QUIET and you can ride over sticks, pebbles and all kinds of debris that would probably not be safe on a hard wheel scooter. The Razor A5 Air has pneumatic 8" tires.

[@t.terrell7037]

@@spywriter007 have you had issues with it being so low to the ground, scraping ,etc? Thanks

[@spywriter007]

@@t.terrell7037 I ride my A5 Air on paved bike trails and never had a problem except when autumn rolls around and the trails get littered with too many fallen nuts which can interfere with the low deck. That said, I would not advise riding any low deck scooter on uneven sidewalks. However if you ride on bike trails like me, you shouldn't encounter any problems and you will appreciate the low deck height as it is easier on the knees when you are riding distances.

[@gregorywilson3318]

From my personal experience of having one of those adult scooters with those huge wheels I can say he doesn’t need to make a lengthy list pointing out all the flaws those adult scooters have. Instead Jon Reyes focuses on the positives! Be well. ☯️

[@rashb3994]

@@gregorywilson3318 Hmmm or he's not really being fully honest! He's seems nice so not questioning character just saying there's clearly are reason he didn't do a deep dive comparison while pushing the trick scooter. I've read enough nightmare stories about the small wheels getting stuck in cracks on rough sidewalks. Though he makes me want to experiment I wouldn't feel safe going smaller than my 200mm wheels on the adult scooter on rough uneven sidewalks. But again he does make me want to try. :)

[@Debugnus]

Hey man, you inspired me. Actually, every video of yours that I watch inspires me 😜 I'm 46, I got myself an "adult scooter" because of what they were saying about the bigger wheels and the handle bars seemed to go higher. However, before buying that scooter, I was originaly more interested it the pro scooters and what cool tricks can be done on them. ...And so now I went out and got myself a Fuzion 2021 Z350 Boxed Complete and I could not be happier 😁 of course I have a lot to learn with it now, but thats the best part, i'ts no longer just a thing to ride to work on. ...oh and yeh they definetly go nice and fast 😁😁😁😁. Anyways, I always look forward to more of your videos, awesome work man.

[@animalfinatic9366]

Same here!!!

[@Freddyalvizo]

To answer the first question you posed at time 00.19 of this video, let’s refer back to a video you made September 6, 2018 where you clearly conceited the point that bigger wheels equals faster speeds at time 6:22. In that very same video you also mentioned that in the future you would be pursuing bigger wheels for greater speeds as they became available. Commuters (full sized adults) tend towards larger wheels for speed and greater stability over small road hazard on a foldable deck for easy storage during multiple platform commutes (trains, buses...). I hope this clears up most of your confusion. I haven’t found a scooter that does it all equally well for me. Entry level razor are good for entry level people. Non-foldable scooters for park trick riders. Pro scooters for those who fit the bill. Urban commuters for adults. It all makes perfect sense to me. Change my mind. Oh BTW Bravo Zulu! Keep up the good work.

Fantastic gesture. And I totally agree that trick scooters wipe the floor with folding/adult scooters when it comes to getting around. The only real advantage I’ve found with the folding scooters is that they fold 😂

[@TheLondekZdroj]

You made a really good point. Stunt scooters on the paved paths are the fastest and the safest. I got into building stunt scooters a year ago and started a small arms race in my Son's reception class :D. First everybody had 3 wheeler micros, then they started racing each other and my Son fell off and broke his nose. I worked out that the 3 wheelers are actually more dangerous than the regular stunt scooters so I bought him £40 scooter on 100mm plastic(!) wheels. With that "tool" my Son was the fastest around their "circuit" for the first week but then some other kid started bringing his older brother's SLAMM with all metal wheels and much better bearings. The week after my Son was already riding on Lucky wheels with ADEC 11 bearings, lubed by "speed cream" and 86a compound for extra grip :D. Then everybody started upgrading... I will spare you the whole story but 2 months and £200 later my Son had a totally custom scooter made out of 5 different scooters parts, custom cut deck and riding on 120mm fasen hollow body wheels. It's not only fast and fun to ride but also super safe. The stunt wheels are strong and grippy, aircraft grade aluminium components won't ever brake under 6 year old kid. And, most off all it's easy to maneuver and jump off is something goes wrong. The finale of the story is that now i have a scooter workshop at home, a stack of spare parts and regularly building scooters for the family and friends. oh! and I and my wife got into scooting too :D.

Not really a complete case though. 120 mm urethane is for smooth surfaces. When the going gets rough, you really need an air tire scooter, slower and harder to push, but so safe. I have a Prodigy S8 Street, (for it’s taller bars) and it is excellent, dialed, rattle-free and smooth, but there are many surfaces where I just step off and walk it. It is essentially not rideable unless it’s a smooth road.

Both scooters are very good but used in different purposes. Like for example adult scooters are used for cruising, sport mode and it's all about the quality of the ride. Scooters like RAZOR are lightweight and very good for tricks. In performance and comfort of cruising trick scooters just wont do.

Hi! This is my first time watching your channel. I'm looking into upgrading my scooter.

You gave up trying to convert them once you found out the scooter you ride isn't big enough, cheap enough or readily available for actual adults to ride. Something you should have already known especially if you worked in a shop.. I'm 6'1" 230lbs. There's no way I'm fitting on that scooter you ride comfortably. Sure it would be great, but not happening. You want to convert me you find a pro kick scooter like the one you have that would fit somebody my size that won't break the bank.
