The topic of ultra lightweight bicycles continues. I bought Xootr MG in Canada. The price was about $230 over there, and it was promptly deliverable to my friend’s home, so I made up my mind to hand-carry it. I calculated the addition of $40 for the fender and the shipping, but forgot rather high Canadian consumption tax. The total cost was still about $310. It was not so bulky or heavy although the carton box looked very tired when arrived. Actually, the size of Xootr is large when I practically ride on it. I guess it may be interesting to go out for a trip carrying it. Its tires are hard and solid that causes the cruising not so comfortable when compared to bicycles, but the sliding speed with the kicks is fabulous. A front brake is integrated but the mechanism is to pressure the bottom of the tire with somewhat uneven feeling, therefore I am not sure how dependable on a steep slope.
