When riding scooters, the ones that are designed like skateboards with a handle, ride comfort has never really been a concern much less a passing thought. Along comes Shox Scooter and the game has changed. The floorboard features a shock absorber to dissipate the effect of various bumps, cracks and less than smooth terrain that exist out there. The addition of this shock absorber and rear break gave parents a level of added security when setting their kids loose on neighborhood roads.
