I reckon they've been overtaken (sorry) by the non-pneumatic ones. I'd still recommend Decathlon - they have adult ones too. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19075#post-289992 Thu, 30 Aug 2018 20:17:06 +0000 Greenroofer 289992@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Alternatively, if you do want to <em>buy</em> them, I would say go to Decathlon at Hermiston Gait. We dutifully bought micro scooters when the children were little, at £100 each, then found that the Decathlon ones were 1/4 the price and just as good. You can try them out in Decathlon too.</p> <p>My son (9) goes a mile each way to school every day on one of these <a href="https://www.decathlon.co.uk/mid-7-scooter-black-blue-id_8401845.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.decathlon.co.uk/mid-7-scooter-black-blue-id_8401845.html</a> at 10mph (I know the speed because I ride beside him on a bike with a Garmin!) Before that we had one of these: <a href="https://www.decathlon.co.uk/mid-1-scooter-blue-id_8353251.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.decathlon.co.uk/mid-1-scooter-blue-id_8353251.html</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19075#post-289991 Thu, 30 Aug 2018 20:14:47 +0000 Gary Cummins 289991@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Sorry, that was badly worded. This is a request for information for someone at work. He wants to buy some decent scooter, pneumatic tyres that sort, non powered but bigger kids scooters. He'd like to buy some and possibly look at them before buying. Thank you </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19075#post-289988 Thu, 30 Aug 2018 19:29:45 +0000 Morningsider 289988@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Gary - assuming you already have the scooters, rather than looking for somewhere to buy them, then I would recommend Cramond promenade - its long, flat, very wide and car free. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19075#post-289979 Thu, 30 Aug 2018 18:02:18 +0000 Gary Cummins 289979@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Talking about non powered children's scooters, fairly serious types that you could do some distance on. Is there somewhere? Thankyou. </p>
