You don’t need space for both your feet: I tend to have one foot hovering over the break. If I were to emergency stop I’d just jump both feet off and lift the scooter up.” The reason why Micro scooters are double the price is because they’re more easily fixable if you come into any problems," says Josh Mason. "With the majority of the other brands, once one thing breaks, it’s broken. The Swiss design of Micro means that every part can be replaced – so they can last for years, even for people who don’t really take care to clean and dry. They’re hardy enough to use every single day. As a point of comparison, the suspension-free Micro Classic scooter weighs 1.3kg less. I thought the extra weight was well worth the bump-free ride. Plus, the best adult scooters are better for the environment to run than petrol-fuelled vehicles – a growing consideration amid increasing levels of congestion and air pollution in UK cities. What’s not to love?

A: Yes. The height of the Micro Classic White Scooter handlebars can be adjusted from 72-103cm. Whats more, the handle grips are durable and provide unbeatable control and incredible comfort. Q: What else do I need to know about the Micro Classic White scooter? If there is a type of person to be seen carrying a folding bike on a commuter train (middle aged, geeky, quite possibly with trouser clips around the ankles), then that person has a new cousin: the distinctly cool adult scooter rider. The product arrives fully charged, so it's ready and raring to go. From there, a full charge from empty takes three hours and should keep you going for 20km. The max speed is 25km/h – and honestly, it's as fun as that sound. Workout be damned: I like scooting with an electric motor beneath my feat.It has a two-year warranty, and it's also worth noting that because of the electrical components, it's not recommended for use in the rain. Our scooters also come as standard with a height-adjustable handlebar so the scooter can be adjusted to suit the rider's size. You can also customise your scooter from our accessories and scooter parts area.

To ride, the Suspension is so good. It's smooth like a magic carpet; bumps in the pavement melt beneath the Suspension's suspension. It's easily the most effortless of all the manual adult scooters I tried. In the below list of the best on the market, I've focused on non-electric adult scooters, because there's more choice and, I found, better for daily use. Electric scooters are a lot heavier – I found them cumbersome on the commute – and there's currently more restrictions on where you can use them. On that point, I've included a FAQ section at the bottom of this article that covers the legality of scooters, which is surprisingly not straightforward. For now, suffice to say that manual scooters are basically fine anywhere; and electric scooters are now. Motorists are not expecting to see you in and amongst traffic and you’ll be difficult to spot given your relative size. Because of the size of your wheels, they’re more likely to catch on drain covers and pot holes, which can suddenly skew your course or cause you to fall over. 2. Be considerate There is no clear law as to where you can legally scoot in the UK, because the Highways Act of 1835, section 72 hasn't been updated to cover them. However, Micro has issued the below advice: 1. Don’t scoot on the roadNobody wants to make enemies of their fellow pedestrians – don’t scoot in a way that will frighten or inconvenience other pavement users. As long as the law is unclear about whether it’s a legal offence to ride on the road or pavement, the easiest way is to avoid causing any personal offence to fellow pavement users. 3. Know when to step off

Whether commuting on your own or sharing some of the fun with your kids, you won't find a faster, smoother or safer ride.

While the folding mechanism feels secure, I ended up leaving mine in the upright position because you have to have quite large hands to be able to operate it with ease.
