The Type R is Root Industries' complete pro scooter for riders moving up from a basic kick scooter. It pairs a 6061-T6 aluminum deck with a chromoly steel bar and 110mm wheels, and its IHC compression keeps setup simple. At around 3.6 kg it is light enough for younger riders to throw around, and the 80 kg weight limit suits kids and lighter teens. It sits above toy-store scooters in build and below high-end custom completes, and owners say it takes a beating from kids without trouble.

Owners rate it highly, calling the build quality and materials excellent for the money. They say it survives hard riding from kids and assembles easily. The main complaint is bar height, which some riders find too low.
