Commuter and big wheel scooters, built for footpaths and getting places. Five of them, sized from a five year old up to a fully grown adult.
Commuter and big wheel scooters
Bigger wheels roll straight over footpath cracks, driveways and grass seams. Most of them fold for the boot, and the bars adjust, so one scooter lasts years rather than a season.
The folding ones go in the boot, onto the bus or the train, and under a desk at work or in the garage at home.
These are made for getting places. If it is jumps and kerbs they are after, our pro scooters are built for exactly that.
How rough do you need to go
Kruzer 200 · Urban Renegade
Metro Cruise 250. The front suspension is what does it.
Metro Glide 300, and the Metro Mini Glide 150 for ages 5 to 8. Air tyres keep going where the others stop.
Start here
Floor to their waist. Match it to the bar height. Done.
Bars should sit at the waist. Not stretched out, not up by the face.
Age is a guide. Height is the answer.

The range
Ages 8 to adult · riders 127–188cm · folds
An easy first commuter that grows with them. 200mm wheels roll over cracks and driveways, and the bar adjusts from 88cm to 100cm, so it fits from age 8 right up to adult.

Ages 8 to adult · riders 127–188cm · folds
The only one with front suspension and a front guard. The suspension is what lets it handle light chip and rougher paths, not just smooth seal. The guard keeps the wheel spray off your shoes.
4 colours
Ages 5 to 8 · riders around 104cm · does not fold
Air tyres, sized for kids. 10 inch air filled tyres for a smooth ride, and a bar that adjusts from 76cm to 83cm as they grow. The step before the Metro Glide 300.

Ages 8 to adult · riders 127–188cm · does not fold
This is where it comes into its own. 12 inch air filled tyres take on proper gravel and grass, not just paths. Gravel driveway, the grass verge, the track through the park. The Cruise 250 takes light chip in its stride. This one goes further again.
5 colours
Ages 8 to adult · riders 127–188cm · folds
Neochrome, and light enough to carry. A carbon steel frame that weighs just 5.45kg, so a kid can take it up steps or onto the bus themselves.

Out of the box
Every scooter needs some assembly. The tools and the manual are in the box, and there is a build video for each one below if you would rather watch than read.
And wear a helmet. We would say that anyway. We also sell them, and one that actually fits matters far more than what is printed on the side.

The Metro Mini Glide 150 is new and has no video of its own yet. It goes together like the Metro Glide 300, so use that one.
Questions we get asked
Measure from the floor to the rider’s waist while they stand on flat ground, then pick the scooter whose bar height is closest to that. The bars should sit around waist height when they ride, not stretched out and not up near the face.
Age is a rough guide. Height is the real answer.
Four of the five, yes. The Kruzer 200, Urban Renegade and Metro Cruise 250 suit riders from 127cm up to 188cm, and the Metro Glide 300 does too. The Metro Cruise takes up to 113kg and the Metro Glide up to 136kg.
Only the Metro Mini Glide 150 is a kids’ scooter, at ages 5 to 8.
There is a bit of assembly on every scooter, and everything you need is in the box: the tools and the manual. There is a build video on YouTube for each one, so you can watch rather than read if that is easier. The Metro Mini Glide 150 is new and has no video of its own yet: it goes together like the Metro Glide 300, so use that one.
These are built for getting places. The wheels, decks and forks on a commuter are made for distance and comfort rather than landing drops.
For the skatepark, our pro scooters are the ones built for it.
The Metro Glide 300, or the Metro Mini Glide 150 for ages 5 to 8. Their air tyres are the only ones in the range that handle proper gravel and grass.
The Metro Cruise 250 handles light or fine chip paths thanks to its front suspension. The Kruzer 200 and Urban Renegade are happiest on paths.
The Kruzer 200, Urban Renegade and Metro Cruise 250 fold. A folding scooter goes in the boot, onto the bus or train, and under a desk at work or in the garage at home.
The Metro Glide 300 does not. It has a fixed bar, which is part of what gives it the smoothest ride of the five. The Metro Mini Glide 150 does not fold either.
A rear foot press brake on the Kruzer 200, Urban Renegade and Metro Cruise 250. Step on it and it stops.
The Metro Glide 300 and Urban Vibe use a rear hand brake instead. The Metro Mini Glide 150 has a rear hand brake.
We think so, and we sell them. Getting one that actually fits matters far more than what is printed on the side.
Two years on scooters, and you deal with us here in Auckland rather than an offshore call centre.
