For young and old. 1

We have the Hudora Big Wheel 205 (Magenta / Silver) bought as part of the Warehouse Deals (second-hand as new) at Amazon: the scooter itself was new and no signs of wear. Only the package was slightly damaged. The original box was protected by another carton (not Amazon imprint).

Initially perhaps equal to the reference to the fact different color product photo on Amazon: the Magenta acts in reality much darker (more toward burgundy) than on the product photo. At first we suspected that we a false article to compare the part numbers has been sent but confirmed that the correct Big Wheel lay ahead. He has therefore located, because he naturally folded presented us in accordance with clearly large packaging.
This already indicates one of the, in my view, positive main characteristics: can by means of sophisticated and secure folding mechanism of the roller are rapidly reduced into manageable dimensions and then carried by shoulder strap or be comfortably stowed (auto, basement, etc.).
After the first test runs of the child I have, however, the shoulder belt away. Why? Although this looks cool but rattling and somehow disrupts the overall smoothness (ABEC 5 bearings plus 205mm rolls). For the child the possibility of carrying far does not matter on the shoulder. Especially to operate the folding mechanism for children in the relevant age group is clearly too sluggish. But in my view is just as well, because here a possible injury would exist: for example, the question arises whether the locking mechanism is actually engaged for the safe use.. A note still for removing the belt: after Ausklicken by the carabiner at the respective ends of the belt remains at the lower end of the handlebar clamp a (here the carbine was hooked). This clip rattles then enormously while driving and interfere somehow. The clip can be easily removed by unscrewing the holding screw with an Allen key. After rattling nothing. So you have to decide: If you want to use the scooter with or without shoulder strap.

More positive and negative features in brief:

Positives:
- Significantly better by the large diameter of the rollers rolling characteristics than small cross sections
- Brake via rear friction brake (ie the fender of the rear roller is simultaneously brake)> Advantage: large area, in an emergency to operate quickly> In my view, much better than other solutions (small lever somewhere)
- Height-adjustable handlebar and therefore grows with (79 up to 104 cm)
- Load capacity up to 100 kg (on the package is 35,100 kg): Of course the scooter can be used below the 35 kg
- ABEC 5 (good standard for storage)
- Relatively large platform
- Many colors

Negatives:
- Aluminium despite relatively heavy (almost 5 kg)
- The tread surface is relatively sharp edges at the sides
- Grips can be removed by spring-click mechanism. Been mounted they are fastened slightly loose, what irritated initially slightly

Conclusion:
A solid and recommendable Scooter with the young and old can have his joy. Good compromising handling, use for children and adults as well stowability or transportation.
