hey guys! we will stay with 24inches wheels, and you can keep you 12''barbie princess in you garage! this bike rocks, its a nice way to share the ride with your friend who don't ride a mtb, and like you've seen thats not a toy! this Scooter is equiped with bike components...Avid Trail 9, Pike (prototype) and monarch plus
They are like a disease, skateparks are full of them, cycling paths are full of families on them and now they will be even in the forests and mountains? Hell no, if I see one of these I will make a few adjustments to it!
"Haters are like a disease, skateparks are full of them, cycling paths are full of families of them and now they will be even in the forests and mountains? Hell no, if I see one of these I will make a few adjustments to it!" - There, I fixed it for you
@Zimmer68 what!? hahaha mountain boards and mountain bicycle why not use something that is called MOUNTAINBIKES!! bro soon we will see inlines/rollerblades in the bike parks or in the mountain and if there already exist dont say anything i dont want to know... xD
f*cking hate Scooter kids, especially the 15-18 scooter riders. I mean I'm not into flatland Bmx but I can say "yo, that was pretty sick" but whenever I see a scooter kid straight pulling out bangers it still doesn't impress me, wow. You can do tricks on a child's toy.
Haha @b1k35c13nt15t i dont think that there are more scooter kids in the bike park and if they say that pedal is hard then dont do anything lol! go to a scooter park and do some lame tricks dont ruin the bike parks!!!
What's wrong with a bicycle at a bike park? This is just silly marketing that doesn't solve a problem. As noted before, this is the mono-ski of ski industry and worse than SUP to the surf world. Kill it now!
@jaydawg69 i feel you bro, the rider in this video send me a message saying that they are faster than bikes and that we are idiot lol. this is just stupid why cant they just stay in the skatepark why ruin the bike parks?!
Dumb af. Cool Thai someone made it, but they need go away now. And i know everyone hates dropping chain or snapping chain , or chainsuck, because it effectively makes your sweet dh roof into s scooter. They forgot the predals and seat.
You say that, I bet they'd make you really good at making the best use of the terrain, pumping for speed etc. When you get back on your bike, you'd be really good at carrying speed.
Totally agree dude, however by the time they put the girlie scooter back and get ya macho mtb back out all ya mates have bombed ya off to do manly things like daisy chains and shopping !!
You are right though.
Agreed. Sure this creation looks rideable on machine-built trails, but it's utterly useless resembling real riding. Detroit Rock City? Schleyer? Garbo? Thrill Me Kill Me? Forget about it.
The point is: Share the ride with people who are feeling sketchy on a mtb Ride something different and get some new thrills Improve your mtb skills Be open minded!
when they titled it one song and used another as the soundtrack I was like WTF then they had that awkward cut when they actually played the song in the title.
hey! thanks
thats easier than a bike when you go into the steep... so easy to ride, that exactly the same skills as a bike!
just a new way to ride the mountain! the big one is a 23ft drop, about 7m...
love the comments, I knew there would be some good hating going on but I'm gonna say that looks like fun. I love mountain biking, mountain boarding, body boarding, motorcycles, anything that I can have a good time getting sketchy on, and that guy was making it look better than most of the people I see in a bike park on a given day. good for these guys for having fun and helping to develop a new sport, that's how mountain biking came to be. You guys sound like roadies or bmxers probably did hating on gary fisher et. al when mountain biking was new.
p.s. the editing and song choice were top notch, could be my candidate for v.o.y. if it was a real mountain bike.
thanks for that comment Mrgonzo! i try to develop and enlarge the public in bikeparks! i just love to share my passion, am a bike instructor, and the mtn scooter is for me the best way to ride trails when you are a beginner (at least) !!! cheers!!!
Audric, I have nothing against your mtn scooter, but you have got to be joking that you actually advocate your scooter as the best way to teach beginners how to ride trails - over a real bike?! Seems like a very self-serving statement with no basis of reality. I am not impressed, even with your numerous years as an instructor. This is as bad as those ridiculous one minute instructional videos that PB recently posted that probably did more damage than good for the targeted audience. Sorry, but I call it as I see it.
its some different....and potentially dangerous.........COUNT ME IN!
yeah its not a bike and you can't pedal but its a different way of getting down the hill and im all in for that.
What's with all the hate and calling gay? You narrowminded and insecure people ruin every sport and make fool of yourselves. Besides that's more of a kickbike, not a scoot.
normally when Im drunk I hold my tongue for lack of good diction, an ability to make words connect from one to another, and/or the use of ranting run on sentences holds me back but in this case the use of good english can and should be sacrificed. KILL IT KILL IT NOW!!! the newborn child from a skate park infestation of razor scooters and a forum loving unicyclist is still weak and needs to be stopped as a once pure sport that most of us know as mountain biking/bmx it completely cursed by driven people with extremely dump ideas. down with 29ers, sram brakes, whatever this article is about, and god if your listening those ovalized chainrings. Again i would like to apologize for lack of good engrish and punctruality, ride on good people.
Good lord they make em with dual crown... How retarded... Now all we need is for them to gather in groups at the top of a jump just so they can ride down the tranny... Sooo gay
I understand the idea, but I would much rather ride my bike. I have tried these scooters and they are much worse you can't pedal or gain speed once you drop in and its just weird to me.
Hmmmm... let's see... spend money on a dirt scooter that can only be used on lift served trails or spend money on a mtb that can be used on all trails?
Got to admit, comments I've read are pretty hilarious. Don't hate on the scooter too much. Same concept as a transition klunker, or the surfer that brings a boogie board with him. It's all in the name of keeping it fun and not getting burnt out.
This isn't something you would want to invest in as the logic is lacking, no matter how fun it really is. While a razor is a replacement for a skateboard for kids lacking the coordination, both involve pushing with your foot. Obviously you won't push this thing up hill, but rather carry it. Even most runs at lift accessed resorts require some pedaling. So you are just going to get off this thing and carry it for awhile then get back on. Now think that the vast majority of trails are not lift accessed or shuttles and you have a serious lack of terrain to use this thing. A motorized version would make more sense, but it would have to be built to withstand the rigors of downhill.
What a crazy machine ! I bought one ... Easyer, so versatile and more accesible than a dh or slopestyle bike ...
Stop to think and just ride it !!! Gap are smaller and slopes looks less steep ! Incredible ...
I remember when the snowboard arrived in a skiworld ... Look the same ... All gayriders are affraid by this new riding machine because there's none bike tube saddle !!!
To ride such a dh scooter, only boloocks are required between the legs !
Two thoughts. The first is that thing needs wider bars... The 2nd, I can see where that might be fun. I like to wakeboard and after I complete a session I like to wakeskate.For me the skate is something I don't take seriously, I just just for fun.
p.s.For everyone out there that wakeskates, I do realize that is a real sport all its own, not to be compared with scooters, so please don't take any offense to my analogy.
10 year olds already flood my local skatepark with these, i can just about handle that, but when they start appearing on the hill messing around causing chaos i will not be happy
What's the f*ckinn date???? April 1??? Please lord do not let the bike park go the way of the skatepark!!! Running over little kids or big kids on scooters isn't fun... Or is it?
The arrival of the DH sccoter in a bike world is like the arrival oh the snowboard in the skiworld ... First time people fuck it because it's different and in a second time every one dare try and love it ...
Don't be so closed minded and try it to make our own idea of a real new riding machine efficient, easy, versatile and attainable for all level.
Without seat and tube, gaps looks smaller and slopes looks less steep ! Crazy !
From a purely technical point of view, I would think this to be a compromise in allowing the rider to properly take corners. One cannot weight the outside of the tire properly as you would by dropping your outside pedal in a corner. Seems it would be scetchy ... but maybe that's the point?
Ive just watched this and I'm not sure how it made me feel.... Its like inventing something new that is WORSE than everything that already exists... Feel free to go back in time but i for one will keep pedalling forwards. A'thankyouverymuch.
I've tried this kind of Moutain-Trottinette in 2005 in Ardèche during a "professional out séminaire" along the Rhône ; very good feelings in DH; seems more secure than on bike
That's right, but i mean this crazy machine, also called few years ago "trottinette", unfortunately doesn't convince a majority of bikers.. Pity because it's funn
doesn't matter bro! its a good tool to enlarge the public in resorts. I know what we can do with. i just don't care about bullshits said here...people here are pissing on a Rocky mtn 120mm cause thats not big enough... (je suis un gars du terrain, pas un mec qui se branle sur le matos et qui denigre ses confrères!) i love bikes, i mean every bikes even mtn scooters follow me on Facebook, @ Omega bike! cheers Arc Yeti
Hilarious, i saw one of these up at angel fire NM and the best part of all was i saw the kid at opening day standing by the lift to get up the mountain and for the rest of the weekend never saw him again, meaning one of three possibilities, one the lift workers laughed at him so hard when he came up in line he just went home crying, two he actually got up and quickly bottomed out of a rock (of which make up every inch of that mountain, no smooth lines anywhere) and jacked himself up terribly, or three he got up and never rode anything but the fire roads, really the only place he could ride anyway. I just really hope that this vid doesn't inspire anyone to buy themselves or their kid one of these, if so its a slippery slope till we start to see elliptigo dh. and no one ever wants to see that come to a reality... f*ck i just seeded that idea...
There are already those. And kickbikes are actually older invention than pedalable bicycles so everyone saying this "new" trend is pointless is actually wrong. With that kind of mentality it's the pedalable bikes that are new useless trend and biking requires no skill
Ok...Well Idk whats with all the hate towards this, I honestly think its pretty damn cool. it would be much easier to bail out on that then a bike and it probably has alot less maintenance as well. I agree scootering is pretty gay at the skatepark, but this made it look pretty fun offroad.
Well played guys!!! I'm well impressed! I've done Air Voltage and it's flipping huge even on a DH bike! Props for hitting it on a scouter! How long you had those for?
am a mountain bike instructor for the last 7years, and i work with them for 6years now
in this video its the last evolution of the mountain scooter, this bike is unreal! so easy to ride
They will really take off! I take it there going to be cheaper than mountain bikes! They look east to do Can can's on and they kind of seem easier to jump off if things go wrong!
Let me know if you come to the UK!
hi! thanks for your comment, you've tottally understood the bike concept!, i work with it for the last 6years teaching people how to ride a mountain bike, and feel the thrill of trails!
@Audric Stop calling it bike, you you're self keep referring to it as a scooter. Your video is called Sickest Scooter riding Ever ,not sickest bike riding ever. Plus from a balance point of view the stance is totally wrong, you're way less stable with the feet together than fore and aft. Hell , i'd fight Mike Tyson if he stood with his feet together .
Most fun I have had reading comments in a long time. F@#&%'in scooters man. I dont have time to be handing out wedgies at the bike park but I guess I will have to make some.
so, I guess, these are quite useful for improving your speed carrying skills. However, there is this "bunch of scooter kids on A-line" argument, that kinda makes sense...
My little kids did have plenty of fun riding a hotwalk 12", and i was wondering why they didn't come up with the idea of a hotwalk 29".... beyond it I would wrap this comments up by saying: I'll try a 29" with a "PinkScooter" sticker on it!
Ya rite. To bad skiers can't Ride in both directions. Well, maybe in the park, but still backwards. The best part about skiing, is my Split board. Going up!
lol....reading all of these shit talking comments is hilarious. how old are most of you? 12-13? or are you adults that are just a part of the disgrace that humans are becoming? I have no desire to try one, but the vast majority of you are acting like immature junior high aged children. most of you shit talkers are probably going to be still living with your parents by the time you are in your 30's and older. grow the F up, you shit talking rejects of society.
huh, only at -2, even though I was directly insulting the, immature as heck comments, that 17 different people had typed out. that's kind of a change of pace for this website these days.
What a crazy machine ! I bought one ... Easyer, so versatile and more accesible than a dh or slopestyle bike ...
Stop to think and just ride it !!! Gap are smaller and slopes looks less steep ! Incredible ...
26,27.5, 29ers, you ain't got it if you ride with a chain. Let gravity do the work, don't listen to your friends a scooter drift corners like mad. Fast and loose is the DH scooter way. I run and old Blauwerk DH built up, it rips at Mammoth Bike Park, and better than that is it is a great way to exercise my sled dogs in the off season. Adults on scooters for life.
this Scooter is equiped with bike components...Avid Trail 9, Pike (prototype) and monarch plus

They should add a device that "pedals" when the suspension is compressed.
Allow me to disiphere all these negative comments for everyone!!!!
"dame in a years time a 14 year old is going to flip a scooter over a jump I'm still to scared to hit!!!!!!"
U flipped it in a foam pit??? I'd love to!
beyond it I would wrap this comments up by saying:
I'll try a 29" with a "PinkScooter" sticker on it!
I do no want a f*cking scooter rat at the trails!
*rolleyes
that vid' amazed me ! just 2 question : How hight for the big drop ? and is it easier than on bike ?
perfect action bro !
Nice scoot, lose the suit.....
haha great video!
its like a gravity bike!
