Product Description

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars pulse kick and go scooter review, July 7, 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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Underwhelming Speed, May 12, 2008

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.

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!
