I’ve managed to stick at 3 (though at the moment it’s the Race Max that sees the most action), though I am strongly tempted by the Mibo GT Split for its fold…

Just adding, should arrive next week, a Kickbike Cruise MAX to the fleet. :D

So that makes it 4 for me.....won't need any more... :wink:

KB Cross Fix = Off Road

KB Cruise MAX = Tourer

KB G4 City = Commuter

Swifty Zero = Fun
Now into 'Boots & Scoots'.

I don't think there's any hope for you!

My Race Max has had a lot of use since I built it up, I've done more than twice the distance on it than my other two combined.

I have Swifty One MK2 kick scooter. It has 16" wheels so, it falls between what could be called a kick scooter and a kickbike. It has high deck which makes it more work. It is quite useful to commute to local shops or the local parks. It has better ride quality than non-pneumatic tyres esp over kerbs.

I find it a lot more work than walking or cycling. I get nervous on steep descents on it, esp the rear brake just adds pressure on the tyre itself not the rim. Otherwise, it is a lot of fun. It is such a shame that the company filed for liquidation
