Xootr



Xootr is a manufacturer of kick scooters. Xootr scooters are characterized by large (180 mm) wheels with a solid polyurethane tire, and a hand brake for the front wheel. Compared to the small wheels of Razor and Micro scooters, these larger wheels provide an easier ride, at the expense of a somewhat less easy portability and more off road power. The deck is available in plywood, magnesium or aluminum at different prices.

Xootr scooters were originally introduced in 1999 by Nova Cruz Products. Since 2003, the Xootr scooter has been manufactured and sold by Xootr LLC.

Manufacturer
The roots of Xootr go back to 1999, when Karl Ulrich, Nathan Ulrich, and Tom Miner (along with partners Lunar Design and Cheskin Research, and several other investors) founded Nova Cruz Products. Nova Cruz designed, manufactured and sold the Xootr kick scooter, their first kick scooter.

Wheels
Xootr wheels were originally sold in two styles: standard (translucent yellow) and ultra (black), with the ultra wheels having 10% lower rolling resistance. The wheels were very high in quality for the price and were used as a stock wheel for a number of gravity racing competitions.
