Here at NYCeWheels we’ve noticed a pretty dramatic shift in the commuting habits of Manhattanites: they want to shorten their travel time even more than usual. For many, that means expediting the few blocks to and from the train – or bypassing the train altogether! – and that’s why they have turned to adult kick scooters. Out of the many high quality adult kick scooters available, the Kick Scooter stands out as a low maintenance, highly efficient, and comfortable ride.
One of the principal features of the Kick Scooter is it’s lack of extraneous features. This adult kick scooter is a bare bones, no hassle, get-it-done machine for riders who want to keep moving and stop worrying about maintenance. The heavy-duty and minimal steel frame allows for riders up to 300 lbs and for everyday New York City street abuse. The Kick Scooter also includes a rear fender brake for easy speed control as well as protection from mud and street debris. When designing the Kick Scooter, we made a conscious decision to omit a front hand brake: no gear cabling means less time in the shop.
While maintaining extreme minimalism, the pro kick scooters features a number of high quality and high efficiency components. The wheels are built thicker and slightly smaller than most adult kick scooters: that translates into a smoother, more stable, and more comfortable ride. These wheels were designed with New York City’s streets in mind, so they can take a beating and comfortable ride over rough pavement. kick scooter riders find pushing very comfortable due to the hollowed sides on the deck providing ample foot room as well as ankle protection when pushing. On top of that, this kick scooter has a simple two-step fold that’s the quickest of any available.
Whether traveling to work, relaxing in a park, or touring the ‘burbs, the Kick Scooter will get you there simply and in style. Since we released the scooter in 2010 it has proven to be one of our most popular models, finding a welcome place in countless New Yorker’s lives, as well as riders across the country. If you’re looking for an adult kick scooter that is dead simple, highly functional, comfortable and reliable, then look no further: The kick scooter has you covered.
