As a rule of thumb, go to the doctor if any bones are sticking out through the skin. If your wrist looks like a pretzel, go to the doctor. Seriously though, the wrist has lots of bones so an x-ray is really needed. I broke my left wrist (really the end of the arm bones) and the doctor was able...

The Razor El Dorado complete isn't a bad deal when you can find it on Amazon for cheap. Today the white one is $53.81 (free shipping). The wheels suck, but the bearings are the best I have. The deck itself is aluminum, though only 108mm wide. The bars are chrome moly but heavy. They are also...

My Razor El Dorado deck didn't quite live a year and a half.

For Razor models, also consider El Dorado. El Dorado uses 110mm Wheels as opposed to the 100mm wheels found on Ultra Pro. The El Dorado handle bar is slightly taller and made of 4130 chromoly, so the El Dorado is probably heavier. The El Dorado deck is slightly wider and longer. Some El Dorado...

Ahhh beginner is something I know about because I am a slow learner when it comes to scooter tricks. When I started riding (last April), I had a hard time deciding what I could practice that doesn't require too much strength or the ability to withstand a lot of falling. I ended up choosing...

Possible causes: 1) The spacer was machined slightly short. 2) The spacer was originally the correct length, but due to low quality it crushed a bit when you tightened the axle. 3) The distance in the wheel between where the two bearings sit was machined slightly off. That puts the bearings too...

The El Dorado is pretty strong. It is also a pound or two heavier than some of the other more expensive scooters. I think the El Dorado can be criticized more for weight than for lack of strength or durability. The Razor Ultra Pro is a child's toy compared to the El Dorado. The Eldorado sells...

Here is another possibility. Get the Razor El Dorado plus a pair of River rapids for a total shipped price of around $160. While the stock El Dorado wheels are better than the 841's on that Vault scooter, they wear out very quickly. So far River rapids are the cheapest wheel I have found based...

To remove the grips, first remove the wire. Then break the glue loose using compressed air or soapy water. Next, clean the grips and bars using acetone or some other solvent. Now your grips are ready for reinstallation. It is important to an easily removed glue such as 3M Yellow Super...

Here is one way to disable the brake: I did this because I have already found enough ways to fall while learning basics such as 180s. Accidental brake is one less now.

I am using "3M Yellow Super Weatherstrip and Gasket Adhesive" + wire. E-6000 glue from (from Walmart or craft stores) might be a suitable lower cost substitute for the 3M glue. The wire is essential because water (sweat) will eventually find its way in and slowly work its way around until all of...

Avoid the emergency room unless it seems like emergency treatment is needed in order to avoid permanent damage. I get something similar when I hit my wrist because of a metal plate inside. But I am not sure it ever lasted a full 3 hours.

I would consider the Razor El Dorado. Amazon has it for $80.74 and free shipping thrown in. This is the best price anywhere since April. The El Dorado is quite strong, has HIC and 110mm wheels. The stock wheels do not last very long, so budget for something better. I have been riding the El...
