I was thinking about the Swifty Scooter but changed my mind after a number of reviewers mentioned the high deck height. If the deck hight is high, the leg on the board will have to bend alot while your other foot kicks off. If you knee has to make a high bend, it quickly becomes uncomfortable.

I look at the kick scooter as another tool instead of having to lug a folding bike that really is too big for the bus or jitney van. In fact, the reason you don't see folders being taken on board (buses/jitney vans) is for this very reason.
