I bought the kickped and thought it was good then tried a friends xootr! Xootr was WAY more efficient and faster. Xootr board is lower, so you’re not doing squats all the time; rolling resistance is minimal. Xootr rocks! Kickped for sale in CA...make offer.
I'm getting a Razor A5 air. $104 plus sales tax. 8" pneumatic tires. Read the negative reviews of NYCe support and guarantee welshing. Headset failure, etc. American made, oh joy.
As a general rule a wheel bearing consists of a fixed inner race, the bearings themselves (most commonly hardened steel balls), and an outer race. The nut or bolt that secures the inner race to the fork or frame should not in any way change the rolling resistance of the bearing. Loosening the nut will not reduce bearing friction but it may well eventually cause the wheel to fall off. In short, don't loosen the nut thinking you'll reduce friction and increase speed unless you want to increase the speed of the ambulance taking you to the hospital after the wheel falls off and you crash!
as a bike rider my whole life i agree the kick scooter's are not just for kids any more they are light fold easy electric scooters are getting cheaper and better now...
6 inch wheels actually not 8 inch. The way you tell the front is by having the strap facing you. The wheels don't seem to have spacers but you can loosen the nut up a bit to let them spin more freely.
Peace be to you ! Thanks for doing this! I did a review on another adult scooter on MY channel. I think yours is better. I would like to purchase this.
thanks for the review, I just ordered mine this morning. i want to ride with my son who is 10, he has a small razor scooter. This kick ped looks like a lot of fun, can't wait to get it.
Had a Xootr for many years, and didn't like the bumpy, difficult ride over most services. The hard wheel scooters are not good on pebbly services (which are most streets and sidewalks), but they brag about the great glide. LOL Well, you'll get a good glide on a newly paved whatever, but NOT your average street. I got the Atom Sidewalker, a scooter with pneumatic tires, and I love it. Check these out, and stop trying to scoot around dirt and small rocks; with these wheels, you just roll over them without the grip of death on the handlebars.
I ordered a know ped, however I am also going to try a 'mibo tiny'. I have a mibo revo with racing wheels and it is the fastest kick bike I have ever owned, so I have high hopes for the mibo tiny, it looks compact and very well made and folds.
Hi.. great review. Do you what the difference is between your Kickped and the KnowPed? I'm in the UK and can't seem to get hold of the KickPed, only the KnowPed!!!

This scooter is the coolest one. Mine still rides great after 3 years. Congratulations and enjoy!

2020 Update - How is this KickPed Scooter Holding up? Thinking about getting one if yours is still going strong.
Had a kickped myself and a Xootr...but neither can compare to the Kleefer scooters.
Great video! Glad you're loving the scooter.

Hi what's the comfort/shock absorption like? I think this doesn't have suspension but the wheels look as though they will provide comfortable ride??
