HUDORA 14005 - Big Wheel Air 205 (Toys)

Customer Review

I've brought the scooter as a real 'workhorse' to get to work - to the station and back - those are about 5km daily.
This job has a RX205 from Hudora (the former top model) without hurting and complaints made but after several years he has now times its wear and tear. If (the RX205) after he needed (on very gentle slope to a bridge) for about 1000m !!! no additional Anschwung - rather to control a gentle braking to the speed. This saves time and brings by the Flextime account the employer ultimately even money and thus pay for themselves ;-)

Now this in mind I wanted to replace the RX205 and have been a few weeks taken consciously on what for so make the advantages and disadvantages of the previous model and not made my decision easy. All in all, then the decision was made on the Big Wheel Air because the pneumatic tires a more comfortable ride on rougher ground promised then the front fender and the overall impression was of a total of more of a scooter for "adults" in everyday life. I had short notice also the DualBrake - ie the same model with second brake as parking brake - but over 70 surcharge for a second brake on the same wheel with the one slows anyway that's engineering technology of pure joke - as I can for the additional braking effect also used cell phones accuse the scooter - probably works even better.

Back to my decision - in the Video for scooter seems to yes (without much effort) to be afloat on the go - so it should then be to replace the Big Wheel Air. Yesterday he came to - the tires flat and not inflated with a bicycle pump - so off to the gas station to inflate. Recommended are 4-4.5 bar (max 5.5.) - Ie 4.5 and filled up, so the tire is fairly firm and well rolled. Turned practice round and found the scooter when climbing yields something - at the moment meant nothing at. On the way back was the driving experience a few bumps really nice (steamed). Then the roller set aside because it was already evening.

Test should be the way to work - in particular, the section from the station to work. Must (similar to the video of Hudora ;-)) and I the distance (and also the time it takes me) know very well because there always a colleague until his bike "liberate". On foot I need almost exactly 15 min. With the RX205 almost 7 minutes. In this way, there is also the mentioned bridge - just behind the train station. Normally the process is - cozy there scooters - then afterwards 'drive' can regulate by gently braking the speed and if I have to push off again, then I'm almost there anyway - at this point I usually bring my colleague a bike and until he joined it, we are then at the same time in the office - only I do not have to stand in wind and weather at the station my companions ...

Now I could - very precisely and directly - compare. When driving experience, I realized that the scooter suddenly vibrated on slippery surfaces - guilt is the profile of the tire. The feeling was still vague as would flatten the tires - but there were definitely 4.5 bar top - so limit the recommendation! Also I had to push off more frequently and was felt much more slowly - even without a speedometer. How much I realized then, as I caught up with my colleague after about 200m before said bridge? I was now even more confused - was now so fast today on the road? The definitive test was now the well-known off run - which makes the commute more enjoyable and offers a nice short break - go almost as railway ;-). In order not to distort the result, I made up my mind - if possible - no stopping. Simply the ratio of the constant force of gravity to determine the rolling resistance - as a result of the distance rolled. From the 1000m the RX205 (with 4 year old 'worn' wheels) were considered positive gerademal 50m !!!!!! Hello There ?????? This part is almost twice as expensive and now under objective conditions - about 20 times !!!!!!! - Rolling resistance ?????? I no longer understand the world. This would be different from the values ​​as the RX was clear to me - but that's about the limit now. That really can not be willed it out - or does it? Oh by another number to call for comparison with the 'new' Roller I needed for the total distance 13 min. Takes 7min. with the RX or 15 walking. But I do not need a scooter. As I drive the route daily 2 times which is a complete hour that cost me the scooter week.

One could say perhaps - the scooter is indeed a sports equipment. But the Trainingswhip effect is probably best if I buckle him on my back and jogging. This thing goes back definitively - anything else would own stupidity !!!!!!
