It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

hiboy looks good, but I see a lot of disparaging reviews concerning its build quality.

any firsthand experience with a solid-wheel scooter is what I'm looking for, thanks!

yea, zero maintenance is really what I'm looking for, The key issue in my mind, i don't want to think about having to replace a tire because it's a pebble is in the way that I can't steer around.

thanks, the 9bot was the other one I was looking at besides the hiboy.

Also the tire is a pain to get off (pneumatic as well as solid). So it's not like a bicycle, where changing a tube is a quick thing.

I'm with you, I've actually changed scooter tires before and have zero desire to have that weighing on my mind while I'm having fun scooting around.
