Is this a good scooter for college?

I bought it for Christmas for our 9 year old grandson. He found it easy to maneuver. In college you'd have to figure out what to store it, put your books etcetera. I can only speak about how easy it was for a boy age 9.

Hmmm not sure, it was great for my 4 year old grandson, who actually thinks he is in college :) but this scooter is ver solid, I am 130 lbs and can ride it.

I think it is a little small and maybe not heavy duty enough for transportation like college.

Yes, its a good scooter. It'll last and go over different surfaces nicely. Its also lightweight. If you raise the handlebars..the size is fine.

Yes, this is a good scooter for you. I have a niece and a granddaughter (also 12) who love it. I bought the scooter June 17, 2013, use it almost daily, but March 30, 2014 the engine started knocking and locked up. I had to buy a new motor. It was a mfg. defect, because I take good care of it. I had a scooter before this one (same size) that lasted 5 years with no problems, but it was stolen. Had to have another one so bought the Motovox. Good luck!

This won't be big enough for you for long. If you are looking for something speedier...I totally recommend a Motovox Mini Motor Bike...they are totally cool and will hold the weight of a man while still being the right size for you now. They are awesome fun too! But of you want a scooter like this...it's great...but I'm 5'5'' and have to spread my knees outward when I ride my daughter's, to avoid hitting the handle bars...slower than the Motovox bike too.

Hello. I have a four year old whom loves this scooter. It is very stable with a wide base for little feet. It is easy for her to use and propels smoothly. The wheels have held up perfectly on both bricked and paved driveways. I'm sure you wouldn't be disappointed.

Hi, our son is 7. He has had this scooter for over a year now, and it is still just as awesome as it was the day he got it! He'll be using this until he decides he doesn't want to ride scooters anymore (if that ever happens). That speaks to how well-made these scooters are. Plus all of the parts are replaceable at a reasonable cost so should you ever have to replace something just go to the MaxiKick website and order it! We love these scooters -- definitely a good value for the money (we've purchased 3 so far)! My husband and I even enjoy taking them for a ride every now and then! ;)

My child has the choice of this scooter to get around the neighborhood or a $300 Specialized mountain bike. The bike sits in the garage mostly while the scooter is used all the time. The scooter is better for shorter trips of less than 100 yards. If your child is traveling 1/2 mile or more to get a friend's or grandma's house, the bike would be much better.

I would say if you want a scooter--get one with adjustable height handles. Can adjust the height. I cannot remember if this scooter has adjustable handles.If this does not have adjustable height handles...do not buy! He will be hunched over! I have 2 Razor scooters...both for my 9 year old son...who is 52 or 53 inches...smidge over 4 feet and even he complains the handle bars need to be higher.Try the Y Fliker. It has high weigh limit...lots of fun/great exercise! Or get a scooter that has handle bars you can adjust the height on....

That's exactly why I bought this board. After a year of college, I'd say it's OK for everyday use. It has good wheels and bearings so you don't have to push as much as most similar sized skateboards. However, it's thick wooden deck and length make it annoying to carry after a while. Also, it's a pintail cruiser, so it's turning radius kinda sucks. As far as longboards go, it's nice. If you do buy it and plan on using a lot or for bombing hills, I recommend installing bigger wheels and risers(not necessary though, comes with decent hardware).

My now 9 yr. old granddaughter has had hers for 3 years and she still loves it, as does her 7 yr. old brother. lt's very different then a scooter in that it goes in circles and 'flies' down the street and the sidewalks. It's great on play grounds and short lawns too. I hope this helps. BWD

Ya it's a good choice for a college student just be sure to get a good antivirus dont think that Norton is good enough. But the performance overall is good and is good at running multiple programs at once.

I think it will last a couple years. My grandson is hard on scooters and had to send a few back but this one is built well so I think it will last.

Hello, our 7 year old has been having a blast with it. It is just like a regular scooter but with sturdier wheels and better traction.

That's a difficult question to answer, but I think it's well worth it. Scooter is very durable and like with all scooters, the ride depends heavily in where you're riding. I'm in Boston, infamous for pot holes, cobblestones & bricks, and broken sidewalks, but I love my Kicker. Hope that helps.

Hi Mia, This is one great scooter. I'm not sure about the Razor but I know this is no baby toy. My 5 year old loves it and learned to ride it quickly. The handle bars adjust to accommodate the kids as they grow too. Anyway no complaints here.

Its fairly portable. The steering column or post breaks down easy and has a unlockable latch to connect to rear fender to use as a large handle. Its not a small scooter like the Razor or Grow Ped.

My grandson, for whom this was a gift, is four and he rides it like a circus performer. He had an older brother to copy though. I believe it will eventually work well with a young 4-year old. The handle bars are adjustable so can be short. And the scooter is only as fast as the rider chooses to make it.

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.
