If you live in the city, take some sort of mass transit (ie. bus, subway, or train) into work, or just want to keep up with your kids around the neighborhood, our adult kick scooters just may be the perfect way for you to get around. Get around faster than walking, add some exercise and excitement to your commute, and enjoy your personal mobility.

SWEET RIDE: In an effort many viewed as overkill, the Xootr was designed by a team that normally designs race cars. The Xootr has ultra-glide polyurethane tires running on nearly friction-less bearings. These wheels give the Xootr the lowest rolling resistance of any small-wheeled vehicle. The glide is several times better than in-line skates, skateboards, and pneumatic-tired portable scooters. The steering geometry (camber, trail, wheelbase, etc.) was optimized for quick, yet stable handling and superior stability at high rates of speed. This also makes our scooters very easy to ride. We have customers as young as 4 and as young at heart as 85.GETS SMALL QUICK: The Xootr easily goes from fully deployed to a compact folded configuration in seconds. The small size allows the Xootr to stow in the trunk of a car, under a desk, in a locker, or behind a door. With the new X4 patent-pending QuickClick latch, transition from riding to folded in a flash! SIZED FOR TEENS/ADULTS: Because of our superior wheels, you will not spend all of your time kicking. You will be able to kick and "cruise." Unlike all the other teen/adult kick scooters out there, ours is the only one meant for real teen/adult feet. The Dash deck is long enough to have both feet on the deck comfortably goofy-style (one foot in front of the other). The micro adjustable handle-bars fit teens/adults of all heights and the sturdy construction ensures a perfect ride supporting over 800 lbs. GOES WHERE YOU GO: The Xootr goes with you on the bus, train, office, classroom, etc. You don't need to worry about it being stolen from a bike rack or locking it up. Simply fold it up and take it with you. STOP ON A DIME: Equipped with both a front brake actuated with a BMX-style brake lever and rear fender stomp brake, you will feel confident when needing to make last minute maneuvers and stops. No fears about going over the handlebars after a sudden stop. ASSEMBLED BY HAND IN THE USA: We have been manufacturing the Xootr kick scooter in the US since 2003. Several of our customers have remarked that companies just do not make products like this anymore. Much of a Xootr push scooter is crafted of aircraft grade aluminum and then carefully assembled by hand right here in Old Forge, Pennsylvania. LIFETIME PROMISE: We stand behind our products and offer a lifetime promise on the major components of our scooter. Can mistakes occurs? Sure, we are human after all, but we strive to make it right. This assurance obviously does not apply to normal wear and tear (tires, bearings, brake parts, etc) or by using it as a stunt scooter. If you ever have any questions or issues just reach out to us. No outsourced customer support here. If you reach out to us, you will speak directly with one of our team members at our facility who handle our products each and every day.REPLACEABLE PARTS: Why throw out an entire scooter once your brakes or wheels wear out?. When shopping for a teen/adult kick scooter you should consider what happens when the wear items need to be replaced. Not only do we have brake and wheels replacements, but just about every component of the Xootr scooter is available. We also offer a variety of DIY videos which walk you through servicing your scooter.

Model Specifics

Product Description

The Dash is the newest model in our kick scooter line-up. Some would think that this in our "entry level" model, but there is nothing entry level about it. This foot scooter is built on top of the same frame structure and uses the same large, fast polyurethane wheels as all our other models. The deck is made from a plastic material that is available in two colors: blue and red. Don't be fooled by the plastic deck, the Dash push scooter can still support over 800lbs (363 kgs).

The platform for the Dash manual scooter offers a slim profile allowing the kicking foot to stroke very close to the center line of the deck for optimal bio-mechanical efficiency. The narrow deck also makes it easy to carry in crowded subways or buses and other tight quarters such as restaurants, shops, offices, etc. It is also a great choice for packing in suitcases to take with you on vacation or a business trip. The longer deck allows you to fit both feet 'goofy-style' (one foot in front of the other) unlike other adult kick scooters. If you live in a cramped city apartment, often travel in and around crowded areas, or are just looking for the most affordable way to obtain the performance of a Xootr kick scooter, the Dash is for you.

Title: Best scooter for heavy people
Review: I've been using this scooter for like a month or two now? Use it mostly to get to work. I'm roughly 330 pounds, 6 foot and it works perfectly. Feels extremely smooth to ride, good weight so it doesn't feel like it'll fold under pressure, very tall so I don't have to hunch over to use it. My only complaints are that the handle bars are too close together and the place where you put your feet is not wide enough. Aside from that, it's perfect.I was worried about the price, as it costs like 150 more than the other scooters but it's performance and build quality are perfect for the price. If your on the fence about the scooter, don't be, buy it!

Title: Sturdy, easy to ride
Review: Very sturdy, wheels roll well. Seems like a product that will last. I like that replacement parts are available from website. Locking mechanism a little stiff out of box, hopefully with time it will be easier to press button, but when folded holds well. Compact and easy to carry. Keep mine in the trunk of my car for when I want to park but get around easier than walking downtown. Saves energy but also a good workout. Can handle an adult sized person.

Title: Very sturdy for what you pay for
Review: I got this scooter so I could ride from my car and back to my apartment since the parking sucks and I have to park, up to, several hundred feet away.In my opinion, it does this very well. The metal is thick and doesn't jiggle or rattle. On the bottom of the "board" is a metal frame for great support. I weigh nearly 300lbs and it hasn't creaked or shifted at all.Folding the scooter up is very easy with the two buttons near the front wheel. I haven't had this button get stuck yet, as other people have. According to the company, if it does, you just need to spray it with some WD-40.Extending and contracting the handle bar is easy with the latch they have, although it can be difficult to put it back down since it has to be able to stop any of your weight from forcing the bar back down.I'd say the instructions are pretty spot on. I thought the breaks were weak until I read the pamphlet it came with, which stated that the breaks aren't meant to stop you instantly in case you stop too hard and fly off. Instead, they're meant to gradually slow the wheels, although you'll have to pull the handle break as hard as you can if you're going downhill or otherwise faster than usual. Another thing with the handle break is that it feels like it's in an awkward position, where you really have to stretch your fingers out to grasp it.Now, the only issues I have with the scooter are the quality of foam for the handlebars and the rear break.The foam is very minor, so I doubt it'd wear out with careful use, but I think I would prefer rubber gripped-handles.The rear break is major, in my opinion. Instead of any springs or hinges, the rear break is one piece of flexible plastic with a break pad underneath, so you simply have to bend the plastic down a few millimeters until it touches the break. I feel like over time, using this break might cause it to snap. I barely use it compared to the handle break, so it might take a while for that to happen.

Title: Works for me!
Review: I'm a 45 year old woman who doesn't exercise much. I wanted something to keep up with my granddaughter when she rides her bike. This scooter can hold my weight and is very fast. I had no issues riding it and I also get a little work out. I mostly used it on the sidewalks in my community and also tried it on the road. It rides really well on smooth surfaces like a sidewalk or smoothly paved road. So far I'm really enjoying this. Instead of driving to the mailbox with my car, I ride the scooter. This is well made and doesn't make any noises. The brake works really well also. It folds up when you are finished for easy storing. I saw other models that were much cheaper but the reviews and weight limit lead me to chose this one. I'm so glad I spent the extra money and got the right one for me and one that will hold up. I also like that it is made in America!

Title: Fun and well made.
Review: This scooter is a lot of fun to ride. I mostly use it for trips under 2 miles. I chose this scooter because I am just a little too heavy for other scooters and usually carry a bookbag which would only add to the weight. Even if you don't weigh over 220, this is still a great scooter to get. It is superior to other scooters out there. The wheels are bigger than other scooters which makes it go over sidewalk cracks and bumps smoother. It glides smoothly and for a long time. The brakes work well. When going down a steeper hill, I usually use both hand and rear wheel brakes. It is light and convenient for taking into buildings once you get to where you are going.My only issue was the quick release latch. After my second time riding the scooter, it got stuck and I could not get the scooter to fold. I see a lot of reviews mentioning this and know someone else who had this issue so this seems to be a common problem. I emailed the company and their solution is to spray the latch with a lubricant (I used WD-40) and hit it with a hammer. I did this and was able to get the latch working again.

Title: Well made and brings the kid back out of you
Review: I bought this to be able to enjoy the outdoors with my two young sons and their scooters. I am a big guy so it was very hard to find a scooters that can handle mid 200 lbs This scooter is built like a tank and very well made and rated to 800lbs. My only complaint is don’t rely on the front hand break, if you do so in an emergency you can go over the handle bars

Title: Fun & functional
Review: This scooter was purchased to shorten my commute to work. It folds easily so I can store it out of the way, and unfolds easily so I can be on my way. I picked this one because I wanted one that didn't run off of battery or electric, it's assembled in the US, designed by race car engineers, and I can easily obtain and replace parts on it if necessary. I also don't have to worry about getting a flat tire. It's an absolute joy to ride, and it glides smoothly over pavement. The only thing I'd like to note, however, is that, if the pavement you are riding over is pitted out or uneven, it will slow you down and you will feel it, but I really feel like that's a pavement problem, not a scooter problem. I am happily enjoying my new ride!

Customers say
