I bought this scooter for recreation, and to relive childhood fun. I was so impressed, I went back the following day, and bought another one for the wife, who had never ridden a scooter before. she loves it, and easily learnt to ride. On a regular basis, we go on outings of discovery. The scooters fold down, and are easily transported in the average car. We have taken the scooters to the local waterfronts, where we have enjoyed scooting as well as enjoying fish and chips. Also we have taken the scooters down the coast, and enjoyed travelling along the waterfront. Great fun!
