While this isn’t ideal, for most short journeys – say if you were looking for an adult kick scooter for a 20min commute – you wouldn’t really notice this. While most of the adult kick-scooters are adjustable, even on the highest setting, I crouch a bit. I think the biggest downfall is that all the scooters I tried came up a bit short for me. And also my hands – if there was a lot of downhill the heavy breaking took a fair bit of work. The areas that got sore after a lot of kick scooting were the legs (particularly the knees) and lower back after a long day of scooting, these areas would be achy. On our biggest day, we covered 80km (50 miles). This would take us about 5-6 hours of scooting to cover this distance. When we did Kicking the States we were travelling about 50km (30 miles) a day on our scooters. But they can also be used for longer journeys. Riding kick scooters are ideal for taking short journeys – popping to the shops or commuting to and from work that is not too far away. I think it’s a similar movement to going upstairs or doing a lunge. Unlike a bit where you need to get your bum and legs used to use muscles, I found that kick-scooting was using muscle memory that already existed. Especially because it’s quite easy to take things at a leisurely pace on a scooter. How fit do you need to be to ride a kick scooter?
They are slower than a bike and not so flexible with working on different terrains.You are stood up on your feet which is more tiring than being sat on a bike.They are rubbish going uphill (you have to get off and push).They’re lightweight and easy to move around and transport.There is no skill to riding them, you just kick.As they are not officially defined as a bike, in most cases, you can scoot on either the road or pavement.Riding adult Kick scooters: pros and cons And don’t forget to give me a follow on Facebook and Instagram.
