Xootr Launches Mg Model Scooter
Scranton, PA Xootr LLC today launched its newest model the Xootr Mg. The Xootr Mg is the company's most advanced scooter. The deck and frame are an integral single piece structure cast from magnesium. Magnesium is one of the lightest metals available and is one third lighter than aluminum, yet with comparable strength. Furthermore, the integral design allows the deck to be thinner and therefore allows the deck to be lower to the ground while maintaining adequate ground clearance. A lower deck allows more efficient kicking because the rider's leg does not have to bend as much to stroke the road surface.
The deck of the Mg is powder coated an elegant gray and then dots are CNC machined to provide traction and bright visual accents. The industrial design of this unique deck surface was performed by the award-winning Silicon Valley firm Lunar Design.
Mg is pronounced emgee and refers to the chemical symbol for the element magnesium.
