    I bought one for my little un. She hasn’t really started riding it yet, but I noticed that compared to the ones I’ve seen all over the park, the wheels on it are pretty straight up and down
    The ones I see mostly have the wheels at an angle, with the bottom of the wheel further out from the center line. Which looks more stable.
    Nothing in the manual of how to adjust them. e-mailed the company but no reply. If anything the wheels on my one go slightly in the other way to the ones I see most kids riding. But they do all look a bit different.
    Can I adjust it, or is it just luck of the draw?

    There’s a big difference. The ones the kids in the park have are the proper scooters, a reasonable one starts at about £80. It sounds like what you have bought for your kids is what is known in the community as an SSO. For all intents and purposes yr scutr iz sarzin

    just a thought…………

    but all wheels are like that [pretty much] that’s what makes ’em wheels 🙂

    I think he is talking about the head angle.

    If it’s a collapsible one, you could put a stopper in the track that the fixing pin runs on…

    Unless, of course, it happened to be Chris Eubank (no pics to be found 🙁 )

    You should probably, get one of these, unless you want her / him to be teased mercilessly

    My son’s are angled in and my daughters (which is much newer) are only slightly.

    I reckon the more they are used the axel joint wears and they lean in more…that and my son weighs twice as much as my daughter!

    Oh and Del..they have bikes but prefer the scooters grrr

    EDIT..I presumed you were talking about the scooters with 2 wheels at the front/1 at back?

    Yeah, two at the front. No, I definately bought the same scooter as all the other kids have. Actually the company with the two at the front one at the back set up , have a monopoly on that design. They are super billionaires now.
