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.
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.
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
The range
Ages 5 to 7 · riders 127–135cm · folds
The commuter for little riders. 125mm light-up wheels and it folds, so it does the same job as the grown up ones, sized for someone small.
Ages 8 to adult · riders 127–188cm · folds
One folding scooter that fits the whole family. 200mm wheels roll over cracks and driveways, and the bar adjusts from 88cm to 100cm, so a 10 year old and a grown adult ride the same scooter.
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.
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.
Ages 8 to adult · riders 127–188cm · does not fold
This is where it comes into its own. 12 inch pneumatic treads 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.
Out of the box
Every scooter needs some assembly. The tools and the manual are in the box, and Madd Gear has build videos on YouTube for every model, so if you would rather watch than read, it is already there.
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.

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 Rush 125 is a kids-only scooter, at ages 5 to 7.
There is a bit of assembly on every scooter, and everything you need is in the box: the tools and the manual. Madd Gear also has build videos on YouTube for every model, so you can watch rather than read if that is easier.
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. Its 12 inch pneumatic 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 other three are happiest on paths.
All of them except the Metro Glide 300. 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 has a fixed bar, which is part of what gives it the smoothest ride of the five.
A rear foot press brake on the Rush 125, Kruzer 200, Urban Renegade and Metro Cruise 250. Step on it and it stops.
The Metro Glide 300 and Urban Vibe use a hand brake like a bike instead.
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.
Why us
Tell us the rider’s height and what they will use it for. We will tell you which one to get.
No upselling. We would rather they got the right one.
