Introduction to scooters

Bicman is another new product form of skateboarding after traditional skateboarding. The speed of the scooter can reach 20 km/h. This new product comes from the world's technologically advanced country Japan, but it was invented by a German worker. It is a simple labor-saving sports machine.

Introduction

　　 As early as three years ago, scooters have been introduced to our country, but the price was too high at that time, and few people were interested in it.

interest. Until this time, its price has dropped suddenly, and the manufacturers have stepped up its frenzied promotion of it, making it "popular". The most important thing is that you must have a high degree of savvy and courage to play a scooter, which is in line with the rich imagination. , The taste of teenagers who like to challenge, and now scooters have become a new generation of trendy sports products for teenagers. It can be seen that its charm is not inferior to skateboarding! Scooter development history

Early scooters

　　 At least 100 years ago, the original scooters had been handmade in industrialized cities. A common hand-made scooter is to install roller skate wheels under a board, and then attach the handle, rely on the tilt of the body or the simple pivot connected by the second board to control the direction, made of wood, There are 3-4 inches (75-100 mm) wheels and steel ball bearings. Another "advantage" of this structure is that it is very noisy, like a "real" car. Another structure is to divide a metal skate into two parts, the front and the back, which are connected by wooden beams in the middle.

Aluminum scooter

　　 In the late 1990s, a more fashionable and narrower foldable scooter was invented by Wim Ouboter of Micro Original Scooters and kickboards in Switzerland. As scooters became popular in Japan, his invention was copied by JDBug and many other companies. From 1999 to 2000, scooters became popular in the United States, with a variety of colors and styles. Popular brands include Razor and Micro, which are still in production and are loved by children and young people in the niche market where scooters perform stunts.

 "Adult" Folding Scooter

　　Foldable scooters designed for adults tend to be more durable in order to be more convenient and practical, with wider and longer pedals, larger wheels and brakes. For example, Xootr has 180 mm (7.1 inches) wheels and pedals designed for adults.

 Big wheel scooter

　　Sports scooter uses bicycle wheels and cannot be folded. Some are used for practical purposes in densely populated urban areas, faster than folding scooters and more convenient than bicycles. Some are for off-road use. Popular brands include Sidewalker and Diggler. The appearance of kick bikes in Finland in 1994 changed people's perceptions of this kind of bikes. Kick bikes have a large standard size bicycle front wheel and a much smaller rear wheel for faster riding. 

　　 In addition to transportation, sports competitions and off-road use, big-wheeled scooters are very suitable for Dog scootering-one or a group of dogs such as huskies push the scooter forward like a sled on the snow. Today, you can see many "skateboard sleds" that are similar to scooters, such as Kickspark.

 Four wheel scooter

　　 In 2006, a company named Nextsport began to produce four-wheel scooters, called Fuziions. Fuzions are bigger and heavier than Razor and Micro. The early Fuzion had larger, wider wheels and very large pedals. Unlike its predecessor, later scooters, such as Fuzion NX, have smaller, stronger wheels and handlebars that can rotate 360 degrees.

　　 In a few cases, freestyle scooter riders convert standard aluminum scooters into four-wheel scooters. Timur Mamatov of Russia was the first to do this. This method of modifying scooters has not become popular.

 How to play

　　The scooter is very convenient to use. If you have never played before, don't worry! As long as you can ride a bicycle, you can play! To put it more abstractly, the scooter is just like a small bicycle. Its overall structure uses the upper body (front) of the bicycle and the lower body uses the skateboard, but it has only two wheels. If you can't even bike, No problem! Because there are pictures on the board of each scooter to teach you how to use and save it. If you want to play tricks, okay, let me introduce you to the highest level of scooter playing (currently what I have seen): you can clamp the rear wheel with both feet, hold the front of the car with both hands, lift the front of the car, the rear wheel is the center of gravity , Rotate two times in mid-air, which can turn to three laps. Or clamp the front wheel, the front wheel is the center of gravity, and the rear wheel rotates twice. If you can do this trick, it proves that you have achieved "professionalism." The realm of it.
