hiboy looks good, but I see a lot of disparaging reviews concerning its build quality.

any firsthand experience with a solid-wheel scooter is what I’m looking for, thanks!

    Also the tire is a pain to get off (pneumatic as well as solid). So it’s not like a bicycle, where changing a tube is a quick thing.

      I’m with you, I’ve actually changed scooter tires before and have zero desire to have that weighing on my mind while I’m having fun scooting around.

        Yeah, the first time I had a flat I was bleeding with both hands and broke 3 tire levers trying to get it off and back on again.

        Next time I had flat I gave up and brought it in to a ebike shop and had them change it.

          whoa! so it instantly lost all traction or stopped immediately and you were thrown forward?

          mine was on a flat road, just unlucky on a bump.

            No, I mean that I hurt myself whenn trying to get the damn tire off. Getting the flat was quite uneventful.
