Why would an adult person buy a kick scooter? Surprisingly, collapsible, non-motorized kick scooters are gaining in popularity as commuter vehicles in major metropolitan areas where even a bicycle sometimes takes up a problematic amount of space. Xootr scooters manufacturers a solution that is actually catching on in crowded places: A line of collapsible adult kick scooters and a line of bicycle that fold in half to take up less room. The main quality that distinguishes a Xootr collapsible commuting scooter from a toy is the extra wide and sturdy foot bed, made to accommodate an adult foot in a heavy shoe of any size.

Xootr scooters are also more stable and heavy duty than toy scooters, and they fold flat so the rider can pick them up and store them in a cubicle or office without a lot of fuss or trouble. Carry straps and bags, as well as cargo and grocery bags are also available. A new Xootr scooter runs between $200 and $300 without accessories.
