 pulse kick and go scooter reviewJul 08, 2008
By E. A. Hansel
i found this scooter to be alot of fun, i dont know why people are writing bad reviews about it.
the pump mechanism only goes fast if you kick it really fast, i had to also reduce the chain length to make it ALOT faster, to do this you need to look at the bottom and you will see a black spring and the chain. disconnect the spring and there should be a little grey hook holding the end of the chain.make that chainlength longer so theres more extra(reducing the chains length), now you can have someone help you for the next part or you can do this yourself (i did this myself)pull the black spring and connect it back to the black hook on the grey disk shaped thing and your ready to go.
what reducing the chain length does.
reducing the chain length makes it harder to push the kick pedal. this in turn makes for a bigger speed burst though. remember to kick off about 3 times to get a good ammount of speed and momentum and then just kick as hard and as fast as you can.

 Underwhelming SpeedMay 12, 2008
By burbis
Agree with everything in the first review, but I wouldn't rate as high. I checked out the web site before buying and it seemed to make a point of how speedy it is. But it's just...not. You can push it with your leg much faster than you can "pump" it, so there isn't much point to its pump mechanism. Otherwise seems sturdy and well-made. Chain does slip sometimes with pumping, and scooter doesn't push backward.

Can't go back to regular scooter after this!Jul 22, 2008
By K. Vela-Laosa
I bought this scooter for when I need to get to class from my car quickly. I go to college, I'm 29, 5'2" and 95lbs. It's great because it fits nicely in the trunk and is almost as quick as a bicycle, and just a little more fun. I was using a small Razor-type before, and man, this scooter is like a Cadillac compared to it. The ride is smooth, which is because of the large front wheel and insulated handlebars. And I like it because you don't have to constantly be kicking the ground which wore my legs out with the Razor. The pedal takes a couple of rides to get used to, you feel funny at first, but then get comfortable and find a good cruising speed and rythym that's suitable for you. Your legs also then get used to the motion and it becomes more natural the more you ride it. I read a previous review which said you hit the pedal when you push, but that as well just takes a couple of times riding to adjust yourself to, just like riding a bike, your body just adjusts accordingly. It is a good-quality construction scooter, you can feel it when you ride. I will add, I've read some comments elsewhere about the fork coming from the factory bent which happened to me, so I just took it right back and got one that was not bent, no problem there. I would definitely recommend this to most average-sized people, my boyfriend rode it too, no problem. And it's kinda cool, because when I ride it, I get a lot of looks because it's not common, and I'm sure (in my mind, at least) that everybody is just aching to try it out! And of course, if I was a kid, I would totally love it and ride it all day long!

This Scooter ROCKS !!!!Sep 11, 2008
By Mark Groenhuyzen
"Mark G."
I was very surprised to see negative comments on this scooter, I have not seen a better quality product for this price in Years. I love this thing.
I originally bought the Kick and Go for my Sons 7th Birthday... and he could not stop riding it, Inside the house, the garage, the living room, you name it. It had to be parked in his room. He wanted to make sure no one would ride it. So of course, I had to try. All I can say is that I wish they had one when I was younger... what a blast.
Last week we were at our weekly trip to Toys r Us and to my delight, they have a new smaller Nitrous model out.... This was meant to be. I decide to buy my Son the smaller model, because this would be "easier" for him. This was a great call on my end. My wife thinks I'm a great Dad, my son loves this one even more..... and I have a Kick and Go for my self now !! I mounted 2 cup holders on it and now cruise it back and forth to my Neighbors.
My neighborhood is now the Proud owner of 5 adult guys ridding around on Kick N' Go's with Cup holders.
THESE SCOOTERS ARE AWESOME !!!!

 Not as much fun as a regular scooterMar 01, 2009
By Bizee Mom
Our 10 yr. old son desperately wanted one of these for Christmas because he loves riding his Razor scooter, skateboard, and ripstik and doing tricks on them. He tried this out and didn't like it because it is too hard to make the pump work to go fast, and its too heavy to do any tricks. 2 months later and it still just sits in the garage while he continues to ride his other gear. a few of his friends have tried it and also didn't like using it. We had the same trouble with a bent fork when we bought it at the store, but managed to fight with it for an hour on Christmas day to get the front wheel to fit. It's a definite disappointment since we spent so much on it and it isn't much fun to ride (we tried it too, and agree!)
