Xootr MG review, NYC's Central Park

As part of his quest to ride, and really get to know, every kick scooter, Harrison took a Xootr MG on a jaunt around Central Park the other night. The winter weather was blustery, but the park loop was smooth and clear. Riding past the snow-blanketed fields and woods called to mind winter sports from luge to slalom, but none more so than X-country skiing.


Riding a kick scooter comes with its thrills but they are certainly thrills you work hard for (and get quite a workout while you’re at it). In this way X-country skiing is the perfect analogue for riding a kick scooter.
Check out the full review of the Xootr MG kick scooter – and stay tuned while Harrison works his way through NYCeWheels’ entire stock of adult kick scooters.
