Product Description
The Pulse Kick N' Go offers a fast, smooth ride with a new high-tech design.

Whether you're sailing through neighborhood or racing your friends, you will have a blast!
Amazon.com Product Description
Reengineered from the original Kick 'N Go scooter of the 1970s, the Pulse Xcelerator Kick 'N Go scooter provides a modern incarnation of the classic racing machine with a markedly faster and smoother ride. Unlike traditional scooters that require constant pushing off the ground, the Pulse Kick 'N Go uses a unique chain driven kick lever propulsion system that allows you to accelerate and maintain speed without ever touching foot-to-ground. Even beginning riders can hop on and execute tight turns while maintaining a balanced stance on the deck. It features a high-performance Chromoly steel frame with an ultra fine traction stripe on an ultra stiff, high tensile steel punch deck. You'll power the scooter with the single-action, dual sided, T-bar propulsion pedal at the back of the deck. After kicking it to power your ride, the T-bar comes back to its normal position within a few seconds for another propulsive kick. The handlebar includes ally, two-finger brake levers, dual-density control grips, and an internal downtube folding mechanism. It's completed by upgradeable BSB ABEC 7 precision speed bearings and 92A urethane street racing wheels with reinforced nylon hubs. It's quick and easy to assemble, and all necessary tools are included.

 Fun, but a little lame September 15, 2008

As the parent I was disappointed in the Kick 'N Go since the kicking doesn't propel you very far and the speed is limited. If you are on level ground it works ok, but can be difficult going up hill. To be effective the Kick 'N Go would need gears to adjust for the situation and that would probably be difficult to design it.
From the kid's side, my son does enjoy it and would probably rate it with more stars, but it appears to be a novelty that may be wearing off.

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 !!!!
 scooter better for older kids August 9, 2008

I purchased this for my 7 year old for his birthday. The foot mechanism that pumps it to go is too hard for him to push and the handle bars even on the lowest setting is way too high for him. I have a teen son and this scooter would be more fitting for him at his age. I would recommend only for older children ... maybe 10 and up.
Can't go back to regular scooter after this! July 22, 2008

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!
pulse kick and go scooter review July 8, 2008

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.
