Buy a KickPed adult kick scooter and never come back!

We’ve been selling a lot of KickPed scooters lately, they’ve even become more popular than Xootr scooters, believe it or not. One of the greatest attractions to this neat kick scooter seems to be our lifetime guarantee. With a promise of quality like that it’s hard for someone serious about getting around by kick scooter on a daily basis to pick up another scooter.

But what’s in the words, and what do you really know about the KickPed. I’ve been thinking to myself, “Why don’t we show people exactly why we love this scooter so much?”

KickPed, our favorite adult kick scooter

Tough welded handlebars are a hallmark of the KickPed

What’s in a KickPed kick scooter?

Let’s tear it apart and see it in it’s basic state. Once we see what components make up a KickPed we can begin to understand why it feels so solid to ride and why it’s pretty much unbreakable.

The first thing we’ll start with are the handlebars. Handlebars are an important part of any kick scooter. This is the primary way you come in contact with your ride. Feel and comfort are both important. Many kick scooters with handlebars that pop out to make it more compact have a strange loose feeling here. That’s ok if you really need the extra storage space, but personally, I prefer to feel like what I am riding has no rattles, creaks or shakes.

KickPed wheels are solid and comfortable

Special KickPed scooter comfort wheels

The KickPed dispenses with the customary extra large, super thin, and very hard rubber you find on many adult kick scooters. Instead we designed it with medium sized, soft rubber tires, and light weight plastic rims. The one piece design makes them very shock dampening and comfortable for all day riding. The other way to go would be pneumatic tires, but who wants to deal with a flat tire on a kick scooter? No us!

Simple hinge design for KickPed adult scooter

Perhaps one of the greatest design points of the KickPed is the single “sprung sleeve” hinge, allowing it to open and close in one step. The hinge itself is as simple as they get, with very few contact points and a single pivot. Everything is easily serviceable and replaceable in the event it gets damaged and the design itself precludes much of the wear and tear found on other hinge designs. With the sprung sleeve all you have to do is pull up on the lower part of the bar and down comes the handles! Easy, yet safe from accidental folding.

Deck removed, welded steel KickPed frame

We removed the deck to show you the frame of the KickPed

The KickPed scooter frame is the heart of everything.This is the key to the ride quality and feel of the kick scooter. What’s the secret? A single tube of steel curving uninterrupted from handlebars to rear wheel creates a sturdy yet flexible base. The frame is hand welded and as well made as they come. Bearing the Made In USA sticker is no small accolade for a kick scooter either. This is the same frame Goped uses for their electric and gas scooters, that means a kick scooter with a 300 lb weight limit that can handle the force of a gas motor. More than enough strength for daily riding I’d say.

That’s why we say buy a KickPed and never come back!
