Adults on scooters is that appropriate

Scooters are NOT just for kids!

Any idea what the most googled phrase when it comes to the world of Aluminum Alloy Disc Brake Scooter might be? Well, you guessed it: it is about the age cutoff.

Other dilemmas many people seem to be having are the following: which scooter is better- an electric one or a traditional one? What are the benefits of riding a scooter? A scooter vs a skateboard vs a BMX? Other questions are about the speed, where one can and cannot ride a scooter, how many calories one can burn when riding a scooter, and whether the scooters are safe. On the whole, the amount and frequency of those questions leads us to believe that scooters are very much in demand and in vogue these days.

So what is the problem? It seems that many people associate the scooter with toys or things "for kids only". And it is understandable in a way. Even though many schools are organizing scooting championships and the sight of a Two Wheel Scooter With HandBrake in the street is quite common, many adults feel held back. The common myth is that an adult on a scooter surely cannot be a mature individual and that doing so is simply silly.

Stereotypes are to blame

As it turns out, even when it comes to the way people excercise, have fun, spend time outdoors- most feel judged one way or another. Karl von Drais, a prolific German inventor who created the first bicycle, initially came up with a device that he called a velicipede or a "running machine". And when von Drais presented his invention to the public, he was after all a grown man, not a tenneger. So how come are we- adults, became so shy about riding a Adult Foldable Scooter ? At what age do we come to this ridiculous conclusion that we have become "too old" for riding a scooter?
