Scooters seem to be the latest craze. They are affordable, fun, efficient forms of transportation and useful for many other things. When buying a scooter there are many issues that you may want to look into before dropping the cash.
For starters you want to evaluate the person you are buying one for to make sure you get a scooter that is right for him/her. A few things to look at are quality, price and size.
Quality. You want something that is good quality but without a hefty price tag. You also usually want something made out of an aircraft grade aluminum or equivalent so that the strength and support is there but not the weight. Most of the top name scooters out there are made of an aircraft grade aluminum. Aircraft grade aluminum offers strength without increasing the weight a ton.
Price. Obviously you want to spend as little as possible without losing quality. For this you may want to go with a brand name like Razor. They offer quality scooters while maintaining a decent price tag.
Size. They make everything from little kids scooters to scooters for adults. Make sure you get the right size for whomever you are buying it for. Too big of a scooter...
