Riding the KickPed kick scooter down York Ave.
This year I did all my holiday shopping on one day using our very own KickPed adult kick scooter to get around. I pretty much knew what I was getting everyone so that helped save a lot of time. Plus, I knew where I was going to get it, so I didn’t have to spend hours going back and fourth.
In New York City there are a few great places to get gifts during the holidays. The best is NYCeWheels (obviously!!) but if you’re looking for a general holiday gift aside from a folding bike, electric bike, or kick scooter you should definitely make a trip to the various holiday markets around Manhattan. Having a kick scooter can really speed up travel time between these, as I found out this weekend, so if you have a lot of places to go consider taking along your favorite kick scooter.
The first place I rolled up to was the Union Square holiday market. I usually get tired of walking around and shopping after a while but with the Kick Ped
below me I could easily make my way around to all the shops without getting bored or tired. Shop owners often commented on the kick scooter, which was a nice way to break the ice without jumping right into “how much is this” or “do you have that in blue?”
I felt more relaxed overall when I was getting around on the Kick Ped. Distances between shops didn’t seem so bothersome. In fact, I enjoyed scooting all the way down Broadway from Union Square to Canal Street. I covered much more ground than I could have without the scooter and I saved almost $10 in train fare, looks like I can get stocking stuffers after all.
If you spend a lot of time walking around the city, you might find riding an adult kick scooter can help you cover twice the ground in the same time. I think I’m going to start using on every time I have to run errands.
