WHAT IS A KICK SCOOTER?
When people hear the word scooter, they often think of the stunt scooters their children may ride, or the small, hard-wheeled scooters seen whizzing about some cities. The models we offer are very different and so much more functional! Also known as footbikes, all of our scooters have pneumatic (blow up) tyres which give a totally different feel and level of safety. These models offer a range of different sized wheels, all the way up to bike sized wheels! They also boast the same components as bicycles, such as effective front and rear brakes. There is a wide selection of models to consider depending on their purpose; some models are best for fitness work, some are better for commuting or city riding and others are more suitable for off road riding or dog-mushing, for example.
WHY YOU SHOULD BE KICK SCOOTING!
Kick scooters are not just for kids! They offer a fantastic, environmentally friendly way of travelling and will improve your fitness at the same time. Kick scooting is faster than walking, so you can travel further on your adventures than you would on foot (within the same time frame), though you generally see much more than you would on a bike, as you are travelling at a more leisurely pace. They are much simpler to maintain than a bike - they have no chain or gears to look after! We offer a model for everyone - whether you need a compact folding option for commuting, a racing scooter for those high intensity work outs or an off-road model for those looking for a little more adrenaline. You can even include your dog, with our specialist dog-mushing scooters!
