2. Razor A5 Lux

CHECK PRICE ON AMAZON
The Razor A5 Lux Scooter is for those who value a good, long glide and smooth ride above all else. The tall, solid 8” wheels absorb shock and allow for smooth rides when the terrain isn’t – and since they’re coupled with moveable handlebars, the Razor A5 Lux Scooter is the best friend of taller riders. The low deck height, however, means shorter riders won’t have to work as hard to build up to the speed they want.

Ultimately, the Razor A5 Lux Scooter is made to hit all the key points of a good adult scooter – dual brakes, a kickstand, and a good glide distance that won’t get caught in cracks or on rocks.

Pros:

+ Patented folding system & rear brake

+ No assembly required

+ Height-adjustable foam handles

+ Built-in kickstand

Why We Liked It – Sturdy. Dependable. Smooth. The Razor A5 Lux Scooter is a good choice for older kids, teens, and adults, and excellent value for those looking to get a great scooter at an affordable price. Razor also offers electric scooters.

3.  Razor A6

CHECK PRICE ON AMAZON
It’s hard to come by kick scooters for tall adults that have enough height adjustability and a wide enough deck – but the Razor A6 Scooter was made to solve that problem.

The deck is 13.4” long, wider than normal to accommodate larger feet, and the handlebars go up to 42”, perfect for adults 6” and taller. In addition, the handlebars are also uniquely designed to be anti-rattle. Many find that handlebars, in general, tend to vibrate uncomfortably as their scooter goes over bumpy surfaces. The Razor A6 Scooter aims to address that.

As with Razor’s A5 Lux Scooter, the Razor A6 Scooter has everything a good scooter should, with the addition of being made explicitly for taller adults.

Pros:

+ 10” spoked urethane wheels

+ Convenient kickstand

+ Anti-rattle handlebars

+ Extra tall handlebars for extra tall riders

+ Modern, low-key design

Why We Liked It – The Razor A6 Scooter fulfills an important niche, providing tall riders with the details they need without sacrificing overall function. Plus, the anti-rattle handlebars are a neat little feature that everyone can enjoy.

The handlebars, too, are in the classic longhorn style that Schwinn bikes are famous for.

Adult Kick Scooters Buyers Guide

If you’ve never ridden a scooter before (or at least not since you were a kid!), you may not know what features and details to look for. Many adult kick scooters are similar at first glance, with only small details to differentiate them in what are ultimately major ways. Here are a few aspects to consider when selecting a kick scooter that works best for you.

Purpose & Location

Some may think kick scooters are only for children, but many adults find them useful and fun all the same. When you’re selecting a push scooter for adults, it’s important to consider the context you’ll be riding it in.

Do you want one to help with your short commute in an urban area? Do you want to leisurely ride around your suburban neighborhood or your local park? Once you know where you’ll be riding, you’ll also be able to assess the terrain you’ll be riding on.

If your ride will include a lot of cracks or uneven pavement, you’ll want to select a scooter with larger wheels to avoid any sudden stops or falls. If you’re going downhill, a dual braking system may help you to control your speed during descents.

Safety, convenience, & Comfort

Because everyone has different needs, there is no one perfect scooter for everyone. It’s up to you to decide what’s most important.

Do you want the smallest, most compact scooter that may not fit your feet comfortably during a ride? Are you willing to ride a bulkier scooter if it means your rides are smoother? How important are appearance and colors to you? Answering these questions will help you decide what technical aspects are important to you.

Wheels

Wheel size and quality are some of the most important features of any scooter. They can be made of a variety of materials, most commonly urethane or polyurethane, or sometimes rubber.

Large wheels are often more durable and allow riders to go over cracks and bumps in the road without abruptly stopping, but they can contribute quite significantly to the overall weight of a scooter.

Smaller wheels are good for sharper turns and changes in speed but can be dangerous on uneven surfaces. Wheels can also vary in width, with wider wheels being bulkier but significantly more stable over rough terrain. Generally, the front and back wheels are the same sizes, but there are exceptions to this. If you ride a lot, wheels can wear down over time. However, you can easily replace them yourself or at your local bike repair shop.

Type of Brakes

Handbrakes aren’t necessarily common on adult kick scooters, but they’re an important safety feature that shouldn’t be forgotten.

If your handbrakes see a lot of use, make sure to visit a local bike repair shop from time to time – they can likely help keep your brakes from succumbing to overuse. The vast majority of scooters will have a rear wheel brake that allows for friction braking, but using it can take some time to get used to if you’ve never ridden a push scooter for adults before. A handbrake may add to the cost of your ride, but we recommend them for people who are new to scooting or are otherwise concerned about safety.

Many find that standard brakes aren’t sufficient to totally come to a stop when rolling downhill or in the rain – you’ll just slow down instead. This is common to the vast majority of adult scooters, and it’s suggested that you avoid riding in the rain (which also helps avoid rust) and instead walk down steeper slopes.

Deck size & Weight

The horizontal part of a scooter that you place your non-kicking foot on is known as the deck. It can be made from a variety of materials and sometimes will include grip tape, something that’s found on a skateboard.

Bigger decks are generally made out of sturdier material and tend to be longer and wider than average, making them more durable and comfortable for longer rides. However, this is at the expense of being heavier. Larger riders may need an appropriately-sized deck to adequately support them, whether it be a deck that’s wider, longer or both.

Wider decks allow more space for your feet to sit side-by-side, and make switching your kicking foot easier. Longer decks are used to accommodate larger shoe sizes, so your shoe and foot will fit comfortably when placed flat and parallel to the deck. The size of standard decks generally goes up to a men’s size 12 shoe, so keep that in mind if the deck size is a factor during your selection process.

Adjustability

The vast majority of scooters allow you to adjust the height of the handlebars to suit your physical needs, but some don’t. Non-adjustable ones tend to suit adults between the heights of 5”1’ and 5”11’, so be careful if your height falls outside that range.

A good handlebar post height will allow you to stand comfortably upright. The bend of your arms should be 90 degrees or wider, but not so wide that you lean forward. Deck heights are usually not adjustable on most scooters unless you swap in smaller or larger wheels.

Portability

Not all scooters fold up for storage and transportation, so if portability and compactness are important to you, be on the lookout for scooters that are foldable. Weight can also be an important factor in kick scooters for adults commuting, with lighter scooters closer to six pounds, and heavier ones upwards of 12.

Weight may not be an important factor for most, but it can be critical if there are stretches of your commute where you have to carry your scooter. Shoulder straps and handles can be useful, but consider storing your scooter in a bag if you need a way to carry it.

What is the safest adult kick scooter?

In a general sense, the safest option is one that is best suited to your height and weight. You’ll want a scooter that’s made from high-quality materials and has features like handbrakes. In particular, we recommend the Razor A6 and the Globber One K 180 for those who are extra concerned about safety. And of course, make sure to wear a helmet at all times when on any scooter!
