Roces scooters: pros and cons, varieties, tips for choosing

Nowadays, people increasingly prefer active recreation, so on the streets of cities you can often meet someone on a bicycle, someone on a skateboard, roller skates or a scooter. Even the smallest members of society can be seen on the scooter, as manufacturing companies adapt to the needs of society and produce products for toddlers.

The Roces company was founded in 1952 in the Italian town of Montebelluna by one married couple. The history of the brand began with the release of sports shoes and has grown to the production of various sports accessories. Gradually, the company has grown from a manufacturer of local footwear and sports equipment into a world-class corporation. Its offices are located in 54 countries of the world.

Key events in the history of the company:

• in 1979, plastic skates for ice skating were manufactured under the company's brand;
• in 1981, the brand was the first to manufacture roller skates;
• since 1994, under the brand of the company, children's skates that could move apart began to be made.

Under the brand of the company, the Roces scooter is produced, which belongs to city scooters. The country of origin of the products is China, despite the fact that the brand is Italian. The warranty period for all products is 4 years. The company produces both an adult scooter and a children's one. And also models for teenagers are being released.

To choose a model, you should know that in addition to city scooters, there are also off-road and stunt scooters, but the Roces brand only produces urban models. Before buying a vehicle, it is necessary to study the characteristics of the model range in order to be prepared for the purchase of a quality product.

Criteria to watch out for:

• the weight;
• strength characteristics of the frame;
• folding mechanism;
• height adjustment of the handle.

The first thing to look out for is the weight of the model, as city scooters are believed to be lightweight for a comfortable ride. Also, this factor is important when purchasing a children's vehicle. After all the younger the age group, the lighter the model should be.

The second important criterion when buying a vehicle is the strength of the frame. For very young users, it can be made of plastic, but for urban use it is better to purchase a scooter with an aluminum alloy frame.

The third aspect to look out for before buying a vehicle is the folding mechanism. For babies, it is better to select one-piece models, without this mechanism. Since the presence of such a function makes the scooter heavier and more difficult to operate. However, a scooter for adults and adolescents should be foldable, and it is desirable that this function is realized with the help of a movement of one hand.

Another important criterion for choosing a particular model is the adjustment of the handle. The presence of such an option will be a great addition to a scooter for any age group. Children, for example, quickly grow in height, and such a function will allow not buying a new scooter for the child's height every time, but simply adjusting the handle in height. For an adult model, this option is also necessary, since people are all different in height, and it is simply unreasonable to produce such a number of vehicle models.

To fold the handles of the product, there is a plastic stand for the scooter handles on the steering rack. They are folded by pressing a button next to the handles and inserted into a plastic holder.

For to completely fold the product for easy transportation, there is a connecting bar at the junction of the steering column and the foot plate, on which the plate is located... By lifting the plate upwards, the steering column can be lowered directly to the platform. For convenience, a folding mechanism is drawn on the plate itself.
