Twelve inch air-filled rubber tires carry this scooter over cracked pavement, brick and packed gravel, and the premium rubber compound is specified for wear resistance rather than outright speed. Two V-type hand brakes give independent control, the right lever working the rear wheel and the left the front, so a rider can shed speed gradually on a hill. The handlebar sets anywhere between 33 and 35 inches to fit a growing child or an adult, and the enhanced carbon steel frame is rated to 165 pounds for riders eight and up. A 14 by 5 inch deck leaves room to plant both feet while coasting. Assembled the scooter measures 47 inches long, 22.5 inches wide and up to 35 inches high, and weighs 18 pounds.
