Anyone familiar with Adult Scooters that can recommend one that isn't too much money?
Just ordered this one for 75$ but i'm sure there's a better one for less.
I got this one because i don't want some deep crack or a pebble to trip the scooter. That's actually happened to me when i was younger with the tiny wheeled scooters.
>Why not a skate board
Unfortunately i cannot balance on one
>Why not a bike
Too big

I think if you have under a hundred bucks to spend on transportation, the best bet would be to get some decent shoes or something. Skip everything with wheels at that price point.

I don't think so. Heelies bought them out in the early 00s and was incorporating the grind plates into their own shoes for a short time, but they must have phased them out entirely by now.

Sonic Adventure 2 was basically one big commercial for Soaps.

contexts is i go to a school where any of the parking lots are about half a mile to a mile from my classes. Unfortunately it gets to be 95+ degree weather very soon and i drive a tiny car that doesn't have room inside for a bike or a bike rack.
Can't roller skate because of my bad balance, nearly snapped my ankles trying to ice skate.
As a student, i try not to spend too much money so 75$ is my limit.
A scooter just seems like the solution since they take about the same room as a skate board that i can put under a chair/desk and through in my trunk once i get to the car.

Update:
So i got it and it's pretty nice, although sometimes when i kick i feel like i hit a vein on the top of my foot and it starts throbbing, It's very painful for pretty much the rest of the day.
Anyone else have similar pain? I get it when i get up too fast or when i jump too high, but that's very rare.

I have gotten a few stares from the Chads and Stacys but other than that people don't really care.

I got one for free from work, its good since its got full sus and quite nice to ride. Takes the bumps a lot better and vibrates less.
Just don't use it enough

They are popular in Europe and here in the UK.

Get one that is solid and upgrade the bearings asap, something like abec 11s? A skate or bike shop should know what to do.

While they aren't popular in a lot of places, they are being seen more in college campuses in CA.

Boards - Total Fuckwits with 0 redeemable qualities. Always hitting people or almost killing themselves.
Bikes - Assholes with decent intentions but little space to use their preferred riding platform thus they come off as twats.
Scooters - Autism. If you ride this you aren't willing to live with the fact you are a fuck head but your not bold enough to be an asshole either. The handles add to the fact you are not willing to risk your life and others around you and the lack of speed means you don't really care about transporting yourself somewhere.

Listen, OP. There's nothing objectively wrong with an adult scooting around on a scooter. But don't pretend it's socially acceptable either. If you have any desire to fit into society, have relationships, and be respected by people who see you, you can't do this shit. Don't ask why, doesn't matter. You just can't.

If you don't care about those things, more power to you, but you should be willing to commit to that outlook, which means you can't make fun of bronies, furries, vapers, neckbeards or any of that shit anymore. Because you're in the same boat as them now.
