Kick Scooters - Is there a good one on the cheap for adults ?

Question

I cannot afford a Xootr, designed by Sharper Image, and I weigh about 220-225 lbs.

Is there a easy to ride, dependable alternative ? I need to get from the train station the 1/4 - 1/2 mile to the gym and my job

Answer 1

Honestly, I would just get a bike.

A bike is a lot easier to ride than a scooter, and will get you there faster.

You could probably find a cheap and decent bike on ebay, craigslist or freecycle.

Craigslist is probably your best bet, though.
