The Bottom Line

I've not had this much fun for a long time! I found the Pulse Kick-n-Go Scooter to be a real smooth ride, once I mastered the knack of pushing the kick pedal and maintaining my balance at the same time. The cool gear system rides extremely smoothly and you can make turns easily. A minor annoyance is that the scooter doesn't move backwards, so you have to turn the whole thing around instead of pushing it back.

Also, it is pretty heavy. Apart from that, the Pulse Kick-n-Go Scooter is awesome.



Pros

• Environmentally friendly
• Provides excellent exercise
• Powerful kick function
• Very smooth riding

Cons

• Pretty Heavy
• Doesn't move backwards
• Kick function takes some getting used to

Description

Guide Review - Pulse Kick-n-Go Scooter

The Pulse Kick-n-Go Scooter arrived in a large and heavy box. On opening it up, I got it assembled very quickly, as there's only a few pieces to put together. My first impression of the Pulse Kick and Go Scooter was that it looks really cool! The second thought that crossed my mind was the bigger-than-expected size. I guess I've got used to seeing the smaller Razor scooters, so the Pulse Kick and Go Scooter seemed large to me.

It was fun test riding the Pulse Kick and Go Scooter. It rides very smoothly and you can make small turns easily.

There's a T-shaped kick lever which you have to push down in order to move forward. The lever comes back to it's normal position in a few seconds when you release it. The trick is to master the kick function so that you can maintain your balance as well as propel yourself forward. The gear system is powerful and you get a real boost forward when you kick. After a while, our test riders were zooming forth and there was no looking back.

The Kick and Go has a small teeny spring-loaded stand on which it balances. It has a decent brake system which does the job. One drawback is that you cannot wheel it backwards due to the gear system. I like the fair sized wheels and the sturdy frame.

Overall, I would recommend that you try out the Pulse Kick and Go Scooter to get a feel of it. It's a lot of fun riding it and it sure beats a conventional kick scooter!
