First full day of Xootr-ing
hey all,
Got to use the scooter I got with the OT from Christmas break -
it’s a Xootr (pronounced zooter) Cruz Ultra and all I can say is wow!
Put it to the test today, putting a grueling yet satisfying 5-6 miles,
3-4 of which was mostly on Center City sidewalks and
Old City brick pavements.
Pros:
- next to no rolling resistance - I could roll along at aimlessly wandering human speed without having to push
- gawd-awfully quick burst speed responses when needed
- any downhill grade (even a 1% grade) = cruising
- folds up and carries easy
Cons:
- no suspension - you get to feel every crack in the sidewalk
- uphill? fuhgeddaboudit!
This isn’t going to be an everyday thing, just a once per weekend thing for now…
well, mereBreath rehearsal starts in 12 hours, so I’ve gotta go…
