**Aero Big Wheel Kick Scooter for Kids Ages 8-12, Teens & Adults - Foldable, Adjustable Height with Hand Brake & Shock Absorption - Perfect for Commuting, School & Outdoor Fun**

When I bought this scooter, I just wanted something simple that could fold up in the trunk of my car, which could be useful for going between buildings at my workplace. I only needed something simple that would last until I can get a reliable bike. And I chose the Aero 230 because it was the only inexpensive [non-electric] scooter I could find on Amazon with a carrying capacity above 220 lbs. (I'm just barely heavier than that, and I often carry a heavy backpack.) So, I just hoped this scooter would do the bare minimum for what I needed.It has already impressed me by being better than I anticipated:- The scooter can be adjusted between child/teen size and adult size. I found it transitions well between both sizes, and remains stable once you lock the clamp on the steering column.- The suspension not only makes the ride more comfortable, but also safer. (It absorbs the shock of rolling over uneven concrete or speed bumps, so instead of lurching and falling off, you can ride right over some obstacles. The suspension even makes it easier to jump up curbs, if you feel like trying it.)- The hand brake and foot brake both do their job well, even going down a fairly steep-grade hill.- The manufacturer's instructions recommend riding on concrete and asphalt, but from my experience so far, the wheels can actually function marginally well on gravel roads, too.- The mechanisms used for folding the scooter — both the button and the kick plate — work wonderfully, making it quick and easy to fold and unfold.- The kickstand... is a kickstand. I wish I could say something especially cool about it. But it's good at what it does.- Also worth mentioning, this scooter was delivered to me several days sooner than expected, which was a nice bonus.I only have two tiny nitpicks about this scooter:- When you first assemble the scooter, you need to insert the handlebars into the steering column, and there is no visual guide to make sure you are lining up the handlebars with the front wheel. It's not a huge deal, but you may need to play around with the handlebars a little bit to get them just right.- The grips on the handlebars can be folded down to help make the scooter easier to store, which is nice; the only thing is, the locking pins are these long plastic knobs that say "PRESS" on them. (*If the seller's page is still the same, then the only place you can see a picture of these plastic knobs is one of the pictures of the A180 scooter, where the handlebar grips and the rest of the scooter are folded.)The knobs seem strong enough, but if either of those plastic pieces someday breaks, I'm not sure what can be done to fix or replace it.I don't think those small issues are really worth worrying about, though. I'm just going to enjoy using this scooter, and recommend this one to anyone looking for a good scooter at a decent price.
