Just so you know, two-wheeled vehicles with small-diameter wheels are somewhat unstable. Much less stable than a bicycle or motorcycle, because the small wheel diameter doesn't have as much gyroscopic effect keeping the vehicle upright.

I learned this when I borrowed a scooter from a friend, after riding a motorcycle for a while. I took one hand off the handlebars briefly, and was shocked at how much the scooter tipped.

Good luck!

Yeah, I'd wondered about that. I've been on a (human-powered) razor scooter once or twice and I would guess its lack of stability is similar.

This company has a three-wheeled version, but of course it's way more expensive and harder to toss in a car.
