Finding a decent adult scooter as an adult cannot be easy. That’s because most scooters on the market are built for kids.

Riding one of these as an adult will not be fun. Most are not built to support that kind of weight.

What is a Kick Scooter?

These scooters require the rider to propel themselves by taking their foot off the ground to gain momentum.

They are a means of transportation and a great way to exercise and shape.

Can they handle heavyweight?

While many people think of scooters as toys for children, they are now made for adults, with models designed to handle any weight group.

What should you look for when buying a scooter for adults?

A quality model with a deck size and wheel diameter best supports your weight when purchasing.

You should also ensure that your scooter has a sound break system, as some models do not.

When buying a scooter for a heavier person, one thing to keep in mind is the ball bearings.

They are essential for a smooth ride, and some of the more fragile options can lead to rider injury and a broken scooter.

 

What did we consider when choosing the scooters on this list?

When we put together this list of the ten best adult scooters, we had to think hard about what people wanted in a scooter. We know that people want something that will last a while, but we also know that they don’t want to pay a lot of money for their scooter.

While many scooters on this list will be slightly more expensive than the typical kid’s scooter, they won’t be restrictively expensive.

We’ve deliberately avoided these, as they rarely offer good value for money for a simple pedal scooter. If you’re looking to spend hundreds of dollars, you might buy an electric scooter.

PS! I recommend you also check out the best electric scooters for adults. They cost more but are fun to ride and don’t involve much “kicking” on your part.

 

 

Hudora 205 Folding Scooter

For those who jump off their scooters often, perhaps to ride public transportation, this offering from Hudora may be perfect.

It weighs only 8.8lbs and folds up quickly and easily, so you should have no problem transporting it.

The wheels on this adult scooter are 8.1′ in diameter, which means they offer incredible stability.

They are also durable, which means they should last a very long time, even if you use your Hudora 205 daily.

The size of the wheels will also make this scooter even faster and more agile than many other comparable scooters on the market.

This particular adult scooter is very compact. As you can see in the image below, it has adjustable handlebars, and you can also fold the handles. The folding mechanism is super smooth and sturdy.

It is very comfortable to ride this thing. The handles are wrapped in the softest sponge possible, so you shouldn’t feel any pain in your hands, even when riding over the bumpiest terrain. This stability is maintained even when you reach the maximum weight of 220lbs.

 

Xootr Adult folding Scooter 

That’s a shame because they are undoubtedly some of the best adult scooters on the market.

One of the nice things about these scooters is that they are all handmade in Pennsylvania and provided at a reasonable price.

They are a little more expensive than other adult pedal scooters on the market, but not so much that you can’t afford one.

The great thing is that since they are all made in the USA, you are never more than a phone call away from getting help with your scooter.

The capacity of this scooter is also impressive. It can accommodate people about six feet tall, and there’s enough room on the scooter to rest both feet comfortably.

You’ll find some of the technology designed for cars in this scooter, giving it an incredibly smooth ride and even better steering.

It also looks great. It’s beautiful and elegant, even when you fold it (which doesn’t take more than a couple of seconds). If you want a smooth ride with your scooter, this one should be at the top of your list.

The Xootr Mg gets its name from its cleverly designed magnesium-coated apron, which adds extra grip to riders’ feet when traveling at breakneck speeds.

The main selling point of this scooter is its detachable parts, which can be swapped out and replaced quickly.

This scooter is an excellent pro for some heavier users who may find that their rides wear out faster than usual, and it can save you a ton of money compared to buying a brand new scooter.

The XOOTR is extremely easy to handle with front and rear brakes and can stop in seconds.

Popular among Amazon users, the Xootr Mg has received excellent customer reviews.

Pros

• Tachometer with QuickClick technology makes the folding mechanism super easy to use.
• Large 7.2-inch wheel diameter
• Fantastic speed boost and smooth ride thanks to the Self-lubricating bearings.
• Torch-welded handlebars offer extra support for taller users.
• Low resistance design for increased aerodynamics.

Cons

• No suitable electric kit is available for an upgrade.
• High price

The Xootr has exceptional safety features, including the deck’s dual braking system and CNC milled grip.

This scooter is one of the smoothest scooters available for heavier users.

 

 

Razor A5 Lux Scooter

It’s the cheapest adult scooter on this list, but that certainly doesn’t mean it’s a bad scooter, far from it.

It’s also one of the only adult pedal scooters on this list that requires no assembly. Just take it out of the box, ready to go.

This scooter is made of aircraft-grade aluminum, which means it’s incredibly light and built to last, thanks to its aluminum frame.

While it’s not recommended, you could easily give this adult scooter a few knocks, and it will come out pretty much intact in the end.

The Razor A5 Lux was designed for taller people. The handlebars are height adjustable, which makes for a comfortable ride. The larger wheels also provide excellent stability for heavier people. I also wrote a separate article on the best scooter for heavy adults.

Razor A5 LUX Pedal Scooter FoldedOne of the things I liked about this pedal scooter is the efficient brakes. The big wheels will get you up to speed pretty quickly, but if you need to slow down, you have a top-notch braking system in the back that will help you out ideally.

 

Monodeal Height Adjustable Scooter

This Monodeal scooter is capable of supporting a whopping maximum weight of 180lbs. The handlebars are so adjustable that everyone can use them, from young children to adults.

One of the highlights of this scooter, which we included in this list, is that the shocks are second to none.

You can go over the bumpiest terrain and barely feel anything. Even the wheels are equipped with quality bearings, ensuring the smoothest possible ride.

The scooter’s handlebars have a firm grip, which means that when you move over bumpy terrain, you won’t feel anything in the form of vibrations.

One of the most valuable features is the dual braking system. Many people have ridden a pedal scooter only to find that they have to slow down quickly.

Often, it can be pretty convoluted to hit the rear brake quickly, especially if you don’t use good riding techniques. That won’t be a problem with this pedal scooter.

Not only do you have your standard brake on the rear wheel, but there’s also a hand brake built into the handlebars, allowing even more control of this adult scooter.

There should be enough room on the deck to have plenty of room for your feet, no matter how big or small. This Monodeal scooter is easily one of the most comfortable scooters to ride on the market, and you won’t be disappointed with your experience.

 

Fuzion CityGlide

As you might expect, the Fuzion CityGlide was explicitly built for seated riding, and virtually every part of this scooter makes it as easy as possible.

It has bigger wheels, so you can go over considerable cracks in the sidewalk (because your local government didn’t fix them!), and you should be 100% fine.

The scooter is effortless to transport. Sure, it won’t fit in your backpack or anything, but the designers figured it out. The folding system allows you to fold the scooter in seconds and carry it on your shoulder using a shoulder strap.

Even though the urethane wheels on this scooter are a bit larger than you might be used to (7.9″), the scooter is still surprisingly comfortable on your shoulder.

The ride is also fantastic. The adjustable handlebars can accommodate anyone up to about 6 feet tall. It’s even capable of supporting a weight capacity of up to 220lbs, which means most people should be able to ride without any problems.

Heavier people will still find that the scooter can glide along the ground at high speeds, which means that the scooter is perfect for your daily commute, no matter who you are.

The only real cons to this scooter are that it takes a little time to set upright. But, even then, you have to tighten a few screws, and you’ll be ready to take on the streets where you live.

 

Globber Adult One

Globber is a well-known and reputable brand for its excellent quality workmanship in the world of adult scooters.

You don’t have to worry about riding on rough terrain because Globber Adult One has large 7-inch wheels of high rebound and high-quality polyurethane.

They are perfect for bumpy rides, and if your neighborhood “boasts” of these circumstances, then Globber Adult One is the way to go.

This model is also equipped with rear brakes connected to the handlebars by a pull lever, so you can feel safe controlling the scooter from the handlebars.

It also has a mudguard that protects you and the scooter from splashing in muddy or wet conditions. It can also be used as a brake if you press down on it with your foot.

Globber adult one-kick scooter foldedThe sturdy frame has a weight limit of up to 220lbs, which should be more than enough for a standard adult rider. The scooter weighs 11.8lbs and is very easy to fold, so it’s straightforward to carry around when you want to catch a bus to go a little further away from home.

The scooter is also perfect for taller riders because the handlebars are adjustable for all sizes of riders. The handlebars are also very comfortable thanks to the curved shape and length, not to mention the dual-injection material.

 

Scooter Hikole

This Hikole scooter has many features to ensure you get the smoothest ride possible on your commute.

The wheels on this scooter are huge (8 inches), meaning that small cracks in the sidewalk will not be a problem for your kick scooter.

On top of that, the wheel bearings have been designed to reduce vibration. Plus, a dual suspension system is in place. Unless the ground is incredibly bumpy, which you won’t encounter in the areas this scooter is built for, you won’t feel anything.

While you don’t have access to the brakes on the handle like some of the brand’s scooters, the rear wheel brake is designed to work almost instantly, and you can slow down quickly.

The only problem with this scooter is that it’s not designed for the tallest people. You’ll probably have trouble reaching this adult scooter’s handle if you’re over six feet tall. However, it does support up to 220lbs as a maximum weight limit.

 

Hudora 180 Folding Pedal Scooter

This scooter is the second pedal scooter from Hudora to appear on this list, but let’s be honest, you can’t beat a good piece of German engineering.

This scooter isn’t much different from the previous Hudora on this list, even though it looks slightly different.

The folding system allows it to be folded a little smaller, which means it’s ideal for people who commute and want something they can fold up.

It can easily fit under your desk at work without any problems.

One of the very different things from the previous Hudora is its weight. It weighs only 6.6lbs, but it can still handle a weight limit of up to 220lbs. That’s a lot of weight.

The adjustable handlebars should also be able to fit most sizes, although the slightly smaller size of this scooter may mean that some people have trouble using it.

The polyurethane wheels on this scooter are 7 inches in diameter and have a high level of durability, which means they will last you for years. They’re even able to handle pits on the road without wearing out.

The handles are also very comfortable to hold. The amount of grip you get when using this scooter is immense. Unlike most adult scooters, you won’t have to worry about the sponge crumbling. It’s great to ride.

 

Razor A6 Scooter

Since the Razor A5 was such a great scooter in its own right, there’s very little difference between the previous model and this one.

The only real change is that this scooter has slightly larger wheels, measuring 10 inches.

The pros of having more prominent front and rear wheels are that you’ll have more stability when riding the scooter. However, this will come at the expense of handling.

So, if you’re looking for a decent scooter that can traverse most terrain, even if your local government has been a little stingy on filling potholes, then this scooter will be perfect.

If you’re more of a person who wants to get through areas with lots of curves, then the A5 will probably be more up your alley.

The A6 has a little more going than the A5 for anti-ripple handlebars. However, the A5 is so well designed that the handlebars virtually no rattle.

However, if you have issues with hand pain or something similar, the A6 will probably be your “thing.”

The handlebars were designed to be extra-long and extend up to 42″. This means that unless you hold the Guinness World Record for the “tallest person” in the world, this scooter will probably be perfect.

Don’t worry about this scooter breaking down anytime soon, either. This scooter is built for life. The front and rear wheels will probably wear out eventually (they always do on scooters), but they will get you thousands of miles, and they are replaceable.

 

Macwheel Foldable Aluminum Height Adjustable Kick Scooter

With a weight capacity of 220lbs, this scooter offers the durability of an adult scooter with the speed and maneuverability of a scooter you’d see your child playing on.

The dual braking system that includes a disc brake gives the rider ultimate control of their scooter. The adjustable handlebars also make it ideal for users of all shapes and sizes.

We went through the Amazon reviews, and here’s what people had to say about this scooter.

Pros

• Macwheel’s dual braking system makes it very easy to stop.
• It is Extra durable thanks to the reinforced aluminum alloy frame.
• The 200mm PU wheels with ABEC 7 bearings give it an incredibly smooth ride.
• The three adjustable levels make it an excellent option for riders of all sizes.
• The Mac wheel has an excellent suspension that gives it extra control at high speeds.

Cons

• The poorly designed disc brake can hit the rider’s ankle while scooting.
• The locking mechanism is quite fragile.

While this scooter is smartly designed and has some fantastic features, we feel like the manufacturers didn’t think through some of their additions, such as the poor placement of the disc brake, which, while poorly placed, provides strong deceleration when going downhill.
