We ordered this scooter for my daughter this past Christmas. It was a disaster. It was easy to get out of the box and the look was great, but right away we noticed how heavy it was. Next, we took it outside and my daughter (nine years old, average height/weight) found it too high off the ground to get a good starting push. She also said the kicktail seemed to be slowing it down. We thought she was mistaken, but no -- the kicktail is so poorly designed that it actually TOUCHES the back wheel, grinding the whole thing to a halt. It didn't matter who rode it or how fast and light the kicktail pedal was pushed, each time, the kicktail pressed down on the back wheel, stopping it cold. 30 minutes of tears later, the Kicktail Scooter was back in the box, ready to return. Save yourself the trouble -- this item is not worth it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Bad Design, September 25, 2010

This review is from: Kicktail Scooter (Sports)

The scooter looks great and breaks down for storage like a regular Razor scooter. The propulsion system is heavy, and in the case of our unit, completely useless. It seems possible that we got a flawed unit, but so did the only other reviewer at this time. Our problem was that the pedal, once pushed would not return up until the scooter came to a complete stop and/or was rolled backwards. Unfortunately the gift was overnighted, and if it actually worked would have been worth the money. It looks nice, breaks down, seemed durable in construction. Poor design of the propulsion unit made this a birthday failure. Everyone at the party was sure they could get it to work right. Noone could do it. For the money we could have got an electric scooter.

I recently had my Bravo Sports Pulse Pavement King Scooter stolen. The scooter was a little larger than regular scooters and had a wooden floor board. I purchased the Pulse Pavement for a clearance price of $20 at Walmart to ride with my daughter.

As an adult I was looking for a replacement that was in the large class and found the Kicktail to be price at just $10 more than the Pulse Pavement on Amazon. I read the poor reviews and decided even if the kicktail system did not work I liked the size, the cable rear brake and the kickstand.

The scooter does not roll with the same ease as the Pulse Pavement but I am a middle aged man and am fine with the speed it can achieve. The only draw back for me is the Kicktail does not fit as easily into the trunk of my car(it is pretty large). My Kicktail system unit works fine but the purchase is only two days old. The regular price is listed at $99 and I purchased mine for $45. Overall I am satisfied with my purchase.
