There was a time when scootering was considered a children’s activity, but times are changing and scooters are becoming more and more popular amongst adults. A kick scooter is a great way to get where you need to go, breeze through traffic, and have fun while doing so. Kick scooters are often more portable than a standard bicycle or electric scooter and definitely less expensive than a car or frequent rideshares. They just might be the perfect way to get some exercise and get to your next meeting on time. There are a number of things to look for when finding the right ride: weight capacity, adjustability, and overall style for example. Here are a few of the best scooters available for quick, convenient travel.
