looks like it could potentially help a lot of new scooter riders out, but those who scooter should just have the common knowledge what works with what. now what would be cool if you could have your own custom builds and have it tell you specs and weight and things like that. thats what i was expecting to see. that is still a really good idea, kudos!
Thank you! The target audience of
ScooterDad.com is parents and kids who are new to the sport, so that's the direction that I took the tool. Just like you said, it's intended to help those who are new riders.
I agree that a tool to calculate specs and weight for an overall scooter (all of the parts, not just those related to compression), would be awesome. However, that would require the full cooperation of all of the brands. Even then, I'm not sure I could get full (and totally honest) specs on every part made. It's something to think about and strive for, but the aim of that tool would be different than this one.
Thanks for checking out the Scooter Configurator and for the feedback!
