How is this scooter on city streets? Does it run smooth?

Does fine. It's wheels are relative small so if the street is bumpy, you'll feel the bumps.

Yes, it runs smooth on he street and in bicycle paths because the payement is smooth. However, the same isn't true for sidewalks. Most sidewalks are rough and uneven.

We do ride it on the streets but only on walking hard areas (to avoid cars). This scooter doesn't fold but it's light enough for my 2 year old to carry. Overall, it's very easy scooter to ride. We had others before but this one is awesome.

Hi I bought for my 2/5 years nephew and he is loving this scooter. He is playing a lot and he is not having any problem.

Tough question! It really depends on the terrain. If you're on level ground, i've driven around city sidewalks for 4-5 hours and been fine. Taking the scooter to the Bronx Zoo, which has lots of hills, I started to run out of just after 3 hours. When that happens, the scooter will not climb hills but will still do level and downhill.

Hi Nathan. I have had a City Mini Double for over a year now and I absolutely love it. It really is as good as all the reviews say. The front wheels can be locked to handle some terrain better, but it really is not designed for off-roading. If you are just going on some flat dirt or even grass at the ballfield, you should have no real problem, but if you are a more outdoors family, I would recommend the Baby Jogger City Elite Double (must confess, I own this one too) instead or at least something with air filled tires. That's the one I use all winter in New England in the snow and to the zoo and stuff in the summer. The City Mini really is versatile, though. I've taken it on planes and to to Disney & Busch Gardens, etc. Just depends on your needs. The Elite is expensive, but can be found elsewhere online for significantly less. Good luck!

It works best going down hill. My kids ride it both in the street and sidewalk.

Well I had to return my Urban 7XL scooter as it wasn't durable at all. In fact it collapsed quite dangerously when I hit a bump in the sidewalk. I don't recommend it at all. Razor appears more durable, but to be honest I went with NYCE Wheels as a replacement. Not an Amazon item, I purchased it from their website. It's been great, but I did like the shocks on the Urban. I believe the Zooters have them as well, although that's a whole other price point & some reviews pointed out problems with them as well.

I'm not an expert on scooters. I think it is a wonderful toy. It's pretty. It's still in one piece! In fact, it really is gorgeous. The handle bars turn the wheels easily. Not to easily, not too uneasily. This is a 1st Scooter and it is a #1 Scooter in my opinion.

It takes small hills very well, large hills are not what this scooter is made for.I am 205lbs. and it pulls me all over with out a problem, very good scooter for the money.

Yes, it's the main issue I read about. Do not go through puddles ect. It is fast and quite good on hills for a battery type scooter.

It is faster than a "self-propelled" scooter, so it's important that the rider can maintain balance. Our kids love it...but they are older. Haven't had any battery issues so far.

It is very stable. You can check ou the videos on Youtube. As your skill increases you can switch to advanced modes. But be careful when you operating in congested places. If the throttle is ON when you hit an obstacle, there is a 95% chance you will fry the motor in contact.

the vibrate does transfer from the wheel when riding on rough road. since there's no absorber I think every scooter is the same. it is very large and heavy to carry around. and the board is too wide for when walk it. it ends up in the garage and I ride a bike instead.

This is the only stroller I've ever had, so it's hard to compare with other 'all terrain' strollers. However we have a very long gravel driveway and it's pretty smooth on it. As for big bumps, it does shake a bit when it comes to bumps, but again who knows how well different strollers can handle bums and pits. My opinion it won't handle jogging on a bumpy road, it has 3 wheels after all, so it does shake.

I use it on the street and sidewalk as a jogger. The only thing that I would like better is a front wheel that swivels while running. The stationary wheel is nice on the trails though
