Once again Root Industries has created another beast of innovation in the freestyle scooter market with their new Type R complete scooter.
After Root Industries’ successful first batch of complete scooters which included the Invictus, Lithium, RP and RS Completes. Root Industries has decided to up the ante yet again and combine the best features of their four prior complete scooters into one ultimate denizen of the streets, king of quarter pipes, box jumps, and everything in-between.
