But for all that brand value, there is, inevitably, a downside. Micro scooters are some of the most expensive on the market. Motorists are not expecting to see you in and amongst traffic and you’ll be difficult to spot given your relative size. Because of the size of your wheels, they’re more likely to catch on drain covers and pot holes, which can suddenly skew your course or cause you to fall over. 2. Be considerate Based on AusPost recent delivery information, delivery estimates (in business days after dispatch) are: If there is a type of person to be seen carrying a folding bike on a commuter train (middle aged, geeky, quite possibly with trouser clips around the ankles), then that person has a new cousin: the distinctly cool adult scooter rider. And despite being light for an electric scooter, at 10.8kg, I still found it too heavy for the moments in between scooting. Of course, there's also the fitness element: I just didn't get much of a workout on the eMicro Condor.

Plus, the best adult scooters are better for the environment to run than petrol-fuelled vehicles – a growing consideration amid increasing levels of congestion and air pollution in UK cities. What’s not to love?Delivery is usually Next Business Day for metro areas, but due to AusPost service delays this may take longer. Their Next Day Guarantee has been temporarily suspended, see updated estimated delivery times below. As a point of comparison, the suspension-free Micro Classic scooter weighs 1.3kg less. I thought the extra weight was well worth the bump-free ride. Nobody wants to make enemies of their fellow pedestrians – don’t scoot in a way that will frighten or inconvenience other pavement users. As long as the law is unclear about whether it’s a legal offence to ride on the road or pavement, the easiest way is to avoid causing any personal offence to fellow pavement users. 3. Know when to step off So far so game changing. However, I do have some gripes. While the folding mechanism feels secure, I ended up leaving mine in the upright position because you have to have quite large hands to be able to operate it with ease.

Electric scooters cannot be used on the road in the UK and Micro duly advise against this. Motorists are not expecting to see you in and amongst traffic and you’ll be difficult to spot given your relative size. Because of the size of your wheels, they’re more likely to catch on drain covers and pot holes, which can skew your course or even cause you to fall over. To ride, the Suspension is so good. It's smooth like a magic carpet; bumps in the pavement melt beneath the Suspension's suspension. It's easily the most effortless of all the manual adult scooters I tried.The product arrives fully charged, so it's ready and raring to go. From there, a full charge from empty takes three hours and should keep you going for 20km. The max speed is 25km/h – and honestly, it's as fun as that sound. Workout be damned: I like scooting with an electric motor beneath my feat. There is no clear law as to where you can legally scoot in the UK, because the Highways Act of 1835, section 72 hasn't been updated to cover them. However, Micro has issued the below advice: 1. Don’t scoot on the road
