A Decent Ride, But Some Drawbacks to Consider
summarizeEditor's Summary
I was looking for a manual scooter that wouldn't break the bank and was easy to use. The City scooter Disc met my basic requirements: A9 bearings, shock absorbers, a high handlebar, a brake on the handle, a footrest, and foldability. It's a decent ride, but there are some drawbacks to consider – the wobbly handlebars and rough ride on uneven asphalt. I'd say it's worth the investment, but be prepared for some adjustments.

A Decent Ride, But Some Drawbacks to Consider
I recently got a scooter as a replacement for my bike, which I had to ditch due to varicose veins – the irony is, I used to think biking was great for my legs.
After considering an electric scooter, I ruled it out because of the battery issues and registration requirements. So, I went for a manual scooter instead.
I'd tried to buy a manual scooter three times before, and on the third attempt, I finally found the City scooter Disc, which met my basic requirements: A9 bearings, shock absorbers, a high handlebar, a brake on the handle, a footrest, and foldability.
I didn't opt for delivery; instead, I bought the scooter in-store and took it home right away. That was a good call, as the scooter needed some adjustments. The staff spent about 7 minutes setting it up and fine-tuning the brakes.
As a beginner, I'd say this scooter is decent. On smooth asphalt, it glides nicely, and with a little push, it'll keep going for a while. However, on uneven terrain, in the hills, or with a strong headwind, it's a different story – I'd rather walk.
The brakes are good, but the one on the handlebar can be a bit abrupt, while the one near the wheel is smoother. The handlebar is at a comfortable height (130 cm), but you can make it lower if you prefer.
It's not too heavy, but it's a bit of a pain to carry over high curbs – you'll need to lift it entirely.
The deck is wide enough for both feet, but it's not super stable.
Overall, it's a good choice for a 1-hour active ride, and the price is reasonable at 10,000 rubles.
Pros and Cons
Pros: Decent ride on smooth asphalt, good brakes, comfortable handlebar height, reasonable price.
Cons: Tends to spin and kick legs when lifted, shock absorbers make screeching noise on wet asphalt, handlebar loosens quickly, grip comes loose after a month, decal peels off after three days, vibrates a lot on rough asphalt, brake cable gets in the way.
I'd still recommend looking into other models.
Despite its drawbacks, I think a manual scooter is a great way to stay in shape – it's even better than a bike in some ways. Plus, it's good for your mental health and balance.
One of the main reasons I chose this scooter was its foldability. It's a great feature for storing it in a small space or carrying it on public transportation. However, I wish the scooter came with a carrying strap or a more convenient way to transport it.
I was also drawn to the A9 bearings. I've heard they're high-quality and can last a long time. But I'm not sure if they're worth the extra cost.
Overall, I'd say this scooter is a good option for beginners or those who want a simple, no-frills ride. However, if you're looking for a more advanced scooter with better features, you might want to consider other options.
As for the price, 10,000 rubles is a reasonable price for a manual scooter. However, I wish it came with more features or a better build quality.
The instruction manual that came with the scooter was pretty basic and didn't cover all the features.
Despite the drawbacks, I'm still happy with my purchase. I think the scooter is a great way to stay active and have fun. However, I'd recommend doing more research and reading reviews before making a purchase.
Overall, I'd give this scooter 3.5 out of 5 stars. It's a decent ride, but it has some drawbacks that might make it less appealing to some users.
