Osprey Misfit BMX Scooter - Blue

Good but with room for improvement

This is potentially such a winning design! For urban commuting, just a couple of things let it down. Air tyres provide a wonderfully smooth ride, but the roll resistance is also quite high. Maybe honeycomb or foam tyres could be worth trying, or some other kind of wheel or hub? I added wd40 which helped a little. If they made an electric hub motor version with kick assist then I would likely buy that right away. The handlebar is also too wide, and when you kick away there is a nub or bolt that protrudes from the rear wheel that can bump against your foot. If Osprey can iron out these little kinks then they're onto a winner here, the ride quality is good and design is solid as well.

Let down by poor quality finish on decks and grips

Quality seems generally good but let down by poor finish on decks, the non-slip is very poorly cut and applied and already peeling up around the edges. The grips on the two I ordered are cheap feeling black, not green as pictured and rotate on the bars. They also have a cheap plastic cover instead of a regular bung in the end which wouldn't have lasted very long. I've upgraded to lock-on style green ones with proper bar end plugs from ODI and they're great.

Robust all rounder

Seems rubust, although mine had a slightly wonky front wheel and also the front bearing has a ticking noise so I'm guessing a bearing has gone. Needs a lot of momentum to keep it going but beings it's meant for off road I can't complain, I just use it for school runs and so far I've had 2 children ride on it
