Imagine you have to do most of your traveling in short distances but you’re still pressed for time, like say from one end of a huge campus to the other. If you drive to school, it probably wouldn’t make a whole lot of sense to bring your bike with you even if it’s to cut down on traveling time. So you just book it from one end to the other lugging heavy texts or expensive equipment that replaces the heavy text and you get to start your next class tired or perturbed. Or, let’s say you do bring a bicycle with you! Hopefully your car can accommodate the rack or maybe you’ve purchased a bike to fit the racks available. Then you lose time trying to find a safe place to put it or even drive it while on campus.

Cruise'n' Town, Just Xootr'n' Around

Worry not, my friends! Xootr is an adult scooter that was designed for ease of use and portability. The Xootr MG is made of solid magnesium, cutting the product weight down to 10 lbs, and the team of engineers made a few slick changes to their pin and place methods- making tucking the scooter away more efficient and (with practice) basically hands-free! Not only is the Xooter highly efficient in space management, this will surely cut down your travel time with their  self-lubricating bearings, making for fast anti-friction wheels.
