Why buy JD Bug Orginal Street Scooters?

Q

What differentiates the Original Street from Classic 120?

A

The Original Street typically features 100 mm wheels and a slightly smaller deck for nimble handling. It’s designed for both kids and adults up to 100 kg. It emphasises portability and simplicity, whereas the Classic 120 uses larger wheels for smoother rides.

Q

Are they suitable for commuting?

A

Yes. The small size and lightweight frame (around 2.7 kg) make it ideal for quick trips and last-mile commutes. The folding mechanism allows you to carry the scooter onto public transport or into shops.

Q

What is the bar height range?

A

The handlebar adjusts roughly between 69 cm and 99 cm, accommodating riders from about 7 years old to adults. Choose the height that allows you to stand comfortably upright, with arms slightly bent.

Q

Do they have suspension?

A

Original Street scooters typically do not include suspension, focusing on a minimalist design. The polyurethane wheels absorb small vibrations but aren’t suited to very rough terrain. For bumpier surfaces, consider a commuter model with suspension.

Q

Are there brakes?

A

Yes. A rear foot brake covers the rear wheel. It’s made of heat-treated aluminium or steel, making it durable and effective.

Q

How do I maintain the folding mechanism?

A

Wipe dirt and grit from the hinge and lubricate lightly with silicone spray or light oil. Check for play in the joint, tighten any loosened screws and ensure the safety latch engages fully when unfolded.

Q

Can I upgrade the wheels?

A

Yes. You can install 100 mm or 120 mm wheels, provided they fit within the fork and deck cutout. Larger wheels provide more speed and smoother rides but may raise the deck slightly.

Q

Do they come in different colours?

A

Original Street scooters are available in silver, black and sometimes limited edition colours or patterns. The polished aluminium finish is classic, while black offers a sleek look.
