I use the scooter every day on a medium long haul, it is overall very handy fold quickly and easily. I've been using it since December 2009, but yesterday I had to replace a warehouse behind the wheel bearing. Luckily I had my bearings Inlineskats in the basement, the exchange was therefore quite easy and fast. The shoulder strap (also used daily) has unfortunately already fairly quickly given up the ghost on the brackets, but with a little technical skill :-) can solve this problem. The plug-in handles always remain plugged in "chatter" on the you get used to very quickly. This scooter is not just for kids, it is definitely a relief for 'urgent' adults eg on the way to the station, in pedestrian areas, at airports (of course without luggage or backpack). I can only recommend buying, the value for money is good to very good.
