5.0 out of 5 stars Great Aerobic Workout, March 23, 2010

Fun and Unique outdoor workout "machine"

Myself:
Overweight 44 year old male, 223 pound 5'7" surfer with bad knees from sports, car and track bicycle accidents and various knee surgeries. My wife got the Mogo Scooter for me. Doc said to loose weight and lower the blood pressure.

The Exercise:
It's hard for me to run, but I can really get my blood pumping with the Mogo. I feel that it is a low impact exercise too. My knees don't hurt afterwards.
The quads and calves get a workout, because you do bend your knees to push. I can feel it on my glutes too.
The arms get a little work out, because the arms are pulling then pushing on the handlebars to get a full extension from the leg push.

I have owned the Mogo for 2 weeks. I use it once a day 30-40 minutes a day. I have lost 7 pounds in 2 weeks. I use to weigh 230 pounds, now I weigh 223 pounds. I have cut down on the amount of food per serving too, but I'm not really dieting.

The Mogo Packaging:
Crappy packaging; the box came with a huge hole in the center. Luckily, the Mogo was not damaged. The frame was wrapped in thin foam. The front fender was bent, but I did not attach it anyways.
Instructions did not come with it. But really easy to put together, just pop the front and rear wheels on and the handle bars.

The Mogo Scooter:
I got a blue one. The paint job is very nice. Tighten all bolts and screws, especially the platform screws.
The Mogo is very easy to use and fun. It is faster than any Razor like scooters, and even most joggers at the park.

I cannot compare the Mogo to a regular bicycle. If you want to go far and fast, get a bicycle. My short 3-5 mile workout is pretty good. I'll go longer once I build my stamina. Very very slow going uphill, it's better to walk the kick bike at times.
Because of the low feet platform, the bottom scrapes uprooted sidewalks.

I really recommend the Mogo Scooter as a unique workout. It's cheap too. I might get another one for the kids.
I already attached a bike front light for exercising at night. I will attach a speedometer and odometer next.

7 pounds lost in 2 weeks and more to go.
Got to go Mogo!! Need to exercise! Bye!

5.0 out of 5 stars Go-Go MOGO Scooter!!!, July 27, 2009

This thing is awesome!
I will be the first to admit, it is kinda wierd looking, but it is very fun, and provides a very good workout.
It cannot go nearly as fast as a bike, but the feeling it provides is truly unique, and you will be impressed by how much of a workout you will get from it.
I replaced the handlebars with a set of bars from a bmx bike, because I am fairly tall, and have found that it is the way to go

3.0 out of 5 stars Prepare for metal shop..., June 16, 2010

I bought this item for work so folks in my area can scoot around campus to make meetings or deliver stuff. Now that it's together I'm pleased, it rides well and the brakes are good quality.

However, getting to that stage took more time that I expected. The box was pretty beat up, and there is little padding inside to protect the bike. The front reflector was in pieces. The fenders are pretty warped, but do fit. The main problem was that the back fork was too narrow. Either they made it too tight when they manufactured it or it took a serious bump. Regardless, I ended up filing the inside of the fork on both sides, and I had to manhandle the fork apart to get the back wheel to set in place, with the help of a hammer.

There was something wrong with the valve on the back tire. The front tire filled fine with my small compressor at home, but the head couldn't properly depress the pin on the valve on the back tire. Luckily my son left his upright hand pump at home so I used it, but I had to really force the air into the back tire to get it up to pressure.

I am tall (6'4") and the handle bar height is not adjustable, making for a slightly uncomfortable ride for me.

I also noticed that the website listed for the manufacturer was defunct.

But for the price it was a good deal. I am now looking at the Kickbike Sport Classic to buy for personal use. It is a blast to use one of these, it's both fun and a good workout.
