Swifty scooter for sale1/11/2024 ![]() ![]() She’s addicted!įor trips under one or two miles, it's highly ideal and you don't have to worry about it getting stolen or vandalized. There’s this one woman I see on the train every so often who uses her Xootr every day of the week! She’s in her 50’s and you can tell by the use and abuse of her Xootr that she puts lot of miles on hers. No bike rack needed and you can board with one on any train or bus. It enables me to take any bus that's going in my direction because I can always kick scooter the last mile or two back home. I use mine in conjunction with public transit especially during the weekends when service drops off. People think the kick scooter is for kids which is unfortunate. Some people even tour on Kickbike style scooters. The ride should be smoother but with that extra weight I wonder if they are worth the expense. They weigh more than Xootrs but they have real bicycle wheels and tires. I need to find a Kickbike or other brand of scooter owner to learn if they are faster than Xootrs. I can move along at a quick jogging pace without having to feel the constant jarring of my body with each stroke of the leg. Scooting seem to be closer to the natural motion of walking. Though I'm in much better scooting shape there is room for improvement. ![]() When I started using it to travel more than one mile at a time that is when it became more difficult. I've owned the Xootr for over ten years but only used it for very short trips in the past. Now I usually do just three before I reach the best cruising speed. In the beginning I would do four to five pushes to get up to speed. Imagine doing a couple of hundred tiny squats on one leg at a time. Each push requires a knee bend so that I can lower my opposite foot to the ground to do the push. It took me a month to get into good enough shape to do it well. I really prefer the physical motion of scooting. I'm now split between wanting to use the Xootr or the bicycle. Going home takes twenty-six minutes with much less pushing. The trip is mostly uphill but the incline for most of the trip is very slight. It takes me just about twenty-eight minutes to go four miles to the big grocery store I use. On the Xootr my average speed is just over eight miles per hour without a headwind. The bicycle while going slowly was still going about as fast as I would move on the Xootr at regular speed, which is between seven and ten miles per hour. The bicycle felt heavy and each push on the pedals seemed like work when going up even the slightest of inclined streets. My legs weren't accustomed to doing the pedaling motion. I have been using my Xootr all of this time. Yesterday I rode my bike for the first time in months. ![]()
