The lad (and so his two younger sisters, of course) wants a Scooter for his birthday.
Any recommendations for something that works well & won't fall to pieces when he jumps off the kerb and doesn't cost the earth?

Cheers, guys.

Not specific enough, eh?

Push-scooters, I am talking about.
Slamm?
Madd?
Razor?

Strangely enough I was looking at scooters in decathlon the other day,they do a adult sized one with 20cm wheels which looked pretty cool in Anodized black aluminium.
Think it was around £59 which I thought was decent .
Can't do a link at the mo,as I'm doing this on my iPad and the decathlon site is being a arse.

I would say not a JD bug, very uncool for a 14 year old, look for Mad Gear Pro (MGP) or Gritt.

Things he won't want are folding bars, and carry straps.

Things he will want are threadless headsets, cro mo bars and ABEC 7 bearings.

Looking about £130 or so.

How many parents do you know that have spent hours at a hospital bedside or grave ruing the day they submitted to teenage pressure to buy a scooter? I know too many to submit.
