HUDORA BigWheel Style 230 Scooter I Stabiler Aluminium-Roller mit großer Trittfläche I Höhenverstellbarer & zusammenklappbarer Cityroller für bis zu 120kg I Tretroller für Jugendliche & Erwachsene

I have owned 3 big wheel different scooters from the german company hudora and by far this is their best yet! I started out with the Big wheel 205 which was good but a little noisy on the paths, then eventually the brakes wore out so i had to order a new one from their service store. Not long after that it broke down conpletely after a year of owning the scooter so i upgraded to an RX-Pro 205. That had a lower foot board and was a smoother ride than the 205 but same again, the brakes wore out and it broke apart after a year, however hudora stoooed shipping outside of Germany. Now i own this one and the brakes are far better! The scooter itself is more sturdy as i ride quite long distances to work, etc, the handles have a nicer feel and the 230 wheel at the front with 205 wheel (diameter) at the back makes you go faster! The kick stand at the bottom is much better too and it comes attached with a bell, so i gave my brother my old one for his scooter. My engineering faculty seem mesmerised by my new one i have to admit!

This is a really great item for such a low cost. I did have to do some tightening of the bolts near the clamp that holds the handlebar stem in place but it’s sturdy and reliable so far. I actually look forward to going out on it at the end of a long day at my desk. It folds well and can be carried on to the bus easily.

Good speed, rides smooth, great that it has higher weight limit than average scooters. But the breaks could have a bit more grip for us nervous riders.

Amazing scooter light strong easy to use folds down to a good size, it's not going to be small but it folds and will fit in you boot.

Still can't have more stars because I bought scooter for partner and it a present for him.I received package today but box was already open!!!! I didn't go thru box but still hoping nothing missing.

I got 2 of these on sale and I have to say they were an absolute bargain! They are very sturdy, really well built... the kids love them but I can use them too!

Strap in folks, it's going to be a long one.TL;DR, remarkably sturdy, fine for tall people, perhaps not for heavy people, brakes might as well be made of gruyere. If you live in a big city with mirror-smooth pavements and little to no gradient, this thing is absolutely ideal and I would highly recommend it. If not... be prepared to take the rough with the smooth, but it's still worth the price.My Use Case:I bought this scooter six months ago for commuting to and from work. I live in a reasonably hilly town and have a very steep ascent followed by a long, gentle descent on the way there (obviously reversed on the way back), and for the most part, the pavements around here are in a bit of a sorry state. I'm 6'4", about 118 kg, with a size 14 UK shoe. I bought this scooter because it was the only one I found within my budget that apparently catered for the taller and heavier rider. I've been using it every day since I bought it at the beginning of January (apart from a 1-month gap which I'll explain later).Build:Mostly excellent! I never felt like it was going to give out under me. The handlebars are long enough for me to use comfortably at their longest extension, the platform(?) is long enough and wide enough for me to stand on without passively hitting the brake, or standing on the folding mechanism, and with room enough to tuck my other foot on if I'm coasting. It's also very light and exceptionally easy to fold and unfold, which is ideal for carrying it up the big steep hill in the first part of my journey to work, and for storing it in my small apartment. I've even managed to take it on public transport (busses and trains), where it can just about be stowed in overhead luggage racks if you just fold it in half.However, if I'm standing a little off-centre, it's definitely possible to feel it flexing, but I don't think it's caused any issues so far. Also, it is in the build quality that I found my first issue. A couple of months ago, I found that the handlebars had almost completely seized, with only about ten degrees of easy range of motion in either direction before you really had to twist them to get them to move. This was solved with the liberal application of a well-known water-displacing lubricant directly into the collar of the handlebar, so I'm not sure if this was due to it getting full of detritus, or perhaps due to wear and tear, but it seems to be sorted now.The Ride:Good, all things considered! Obviously it doesn't have any kind of suspension so I expected some roughness on surfaces that weren't completely flat. I found that the large front wheel helped immensely with getting over small bumps in the pavement, or steps between paving slabs, and it can even go up small kerbs, though I wouldn't trust it with a rise of more than perhaps 3 centimetres. I even found that riding over thinly gravelled paths was possible, though obviously not ideal. It also has a good turning circle provided you balance properly, and I even felt comfortable hopping it over kerbs at speed (though I wouldn't recommend this).The ride, however, brings the second of my gripes with this scooter. It is very low to the ground, especially if you're toward the top end of the weight limit as I am. Even small undulations in the pavement would result in the scooter not completely grounding out, but making some rather concerning scraping noises. I have definitely grounded it out more than a few times though, but given I travel the same route to work every day, I know where these trouble spots are and can avoid them.The Brakes:Utterly terrible. Obviously you don't want scooter brakes to be too effective or you'll go flying, but these take it to a whole new level of ineffectiveness. You can stamp on the brake pad and it'll still take you a good thirty yards to come to a stop from a reasonable speed, and obviously this issue is compounded if you're going downhill. Now that I'm used to it, I'm finding it easier to manage the brakes, but when I first stepped onto the scooter I found them almost not worth using at all.That being said, they're not immune to locking up, which brings me to the point at which I almost stopped using the scooter completely. I was riding down a short ramp, perhaps 10-20 metres of a quite steep gradient. I put my foot on the brake, at which point it totally locked up, causing the scooter to slide out from under me and send me plummeting to my doom, resulting in a wrist fracture when I put my hand out to catch myself. Due to this, I couldn't use the scooter for pretty much the entire month of February.Long story short, the brakes are trash if you're using them on, around, or near any kind of hill, but manageable if you're on flat ground.Overall Verdict:My use case is clearly not ideal. I live in quite a hilly area with poor paving where it's regularly rainy, and I'm at the top end of the weight limit. While it has cut my commute to work from about 50 minutes on foot to less than half an hour, If you're in my situation, save up for a while and buy a bicycle.If, however, you live in a big city like London or Manchester, where the pavements are smooth and there are few gradients to speak of, this thing is ideal for zipping around between where public transport ends and work begins. Just don't rely on the brakes to save you if you're speeding toward a group of orphans and puppies.

After a lot of research I finally chose this scooter in white, it was seconds but came fully packaged and there was nothing wrong with it, absolutely love it, glides along and is smooth as wheels are a decent size deck is low enough and the stand is great, after a few bemused stares friends had a try and are even thinking about getting their own, children think it is great that their parents are joining in and it makes it easier to keep up with them. After the first day hadn't even realised what a workout I'd got until I felt my muscles were sore 😂 Exercise without trying, can't rate this scooter highly enough x
