Leaning over to keep pushing off the ground only allows you to go so fast. Self-propulsion, on the other hand, has advantages. With a kick pedal centered on the rear of the deck, you are able to accelerate with ease while maintaining your balance. Plus, depending on how much thrust you give the kick pedal or how quickly you kick it, you are now truly able to control your speed.

The results of our scooter makeover are nothing short of amazing. Unlike those old scooters or other skating gimmicks out there, the Pulse Kick ‘N Go feels like it is part of you. No more leaning off the scooter and messing up your balance. Just kick down and get mad speed without giving up control. The engineers call the kick pedal a “single-action, dual-sided, ‘T’-bar self-propulsion mechanism.” You’ll call it awesome.
