The proper choice of a decent scooter with bicycle wheels, which is called a footbike, kickscooter, scooterbike, kickbike or a large scooter, requires determining how and by whom this vehicle will be used.
To facilitate the analysis on the footbiker.eu website, you have at your disposal a menu that should bring you closer to the principles of choosing the best model.
Scooter vs bike vs walk / run:
The basic thing is that a scooter does not break down like a bike because it has fewer elements that can break down. Thanks to this, it is also much lighter than a bike. However, the most important thing is that moving on a scooter is much more efficient than walking and is somewhere in the middle between walking and cycling. If, for example, the speed of a pedestrian is 5km/h, then the same person putting the same effort into riding a scooter will ride an average of 10km/h, while on a bike 15km/h.
Riding a scooter is a form of exercise much less traumatic than running because it does not have such a big impact on joints while allowing you to maintain a heart rate of around 140 beats/min. when riding uphill and unlike a bike allows you to better warm up and stretch individual parts of the body.
Prices of good scooters:
Scooters in our store cost as much as basic models of bicycles, but unlike them they have components and are made of materials typical for much more expensive bicycles for a price of around EUR 1,000. Thanks to this, the ride is efficient, rolling resistance is low and the vehicle is light and durable.
