You couldn’t ask for more!!! by B. Malea Thomas
After searching long and hard for an appropriate adult kick scooter to use on my college campus, I came across this. Having never ridden a scooter before (they weren’t commonly around when I was a kid) I was hesitant at first because of the price. There are a lot of cheaper scooters out there but I decided, based on reviews both here on Amazon and other places, that this would be the best value. Boy, was I ever right!! At over 300 pounds, a sturdy build is definitely needed and this most certainly fits the bill (the listed weight capacity from Go-Ped is 400 pounds). The wide deck makes for extremely comfortable riding, I can place my feet side by side when coasting instead of having to stand sideways like on those skinny decks. The front hand brake paired with the rear fender brake make for a very controlled ride even when going downhill. The large, solid wheels make uneven pavement such as cracked sidewalks or uneven concrete slabs a breeze to get over. It’s extremely easy to fold up and put in the back seat of my car or stand beside me in class. Contrary to another reviewer, you can indeed allow it to stand by itself, simply fold it and lean it over to where the handlebars are resting on the ground. That coupled with the rear fender make it very stable standing independently when stationary or while moving (as in mass transit) by just resting a hand or forearm on it. On the other hand, because the wheel doesn’t have a “wheelie bar” or whatever it’s technically called, it’s very easy to transport around a building while walking to class simply by holding the frame in the front where it folds and allowing the rear wheel to roll. Although, if you’re too tall to do this, the entire scooter is quite light, the listed weight is 11 pounds but that certainly doesn’t feel like much.

I highly recommend this scooter to those who are new to kick scooters and veterans alike. It’s very easy to use and yet is a good workout. It’s perfectly portable and much more compact and easy to use than a bicycle. I am extremely pleased with my purchase and I’m glad I didn’t let the higher price scare me away. In addition to all the wonderful things I’ve already listed about it, it’s also 100% American made so it helps support our local economy! I guarantee you will not be disappointed with this purchase.

No other scooter comes close! by R. Polito

If you are over age 10 or you are going to take your kick scooter beyond your driveway, this is your best choice. It has an ultra-smooth ride, a big wide deck and a front brake. Front brakes do more of the stopping power, just check the pad wear on your bike.I use it for quick trips when a bike feels like too much. The deck has plenty of room for my 7-year-old and me when we scoot to school every morning. Try that on a Razor clone. The big solid rubber wheels roll over cracks and everything else. A great scooter.

The only downsides:

- it’s a little bigger annd heavier.

- The clip that holds it folded rattles

- It’s made by the same company that makes the noisy, smell, horrible gas-powered Know-Ped, so I feel a little bad about supporting those jerks.

Great Scooter by aclightfoot
Got this for my 14 year old after he destroyed his third Razor Scooter. He’s 5′8″ and weighs about 150 lbs. He loves this scooter and is all over the neighborhood with it. He particularly loves having a hand brake - something about all the cool stuff he can do now. I shudder to think what that means. But so far, the scooter is holding up beautifully.

too bulky by M. Mostov
As soon as I pulled the scooter from the box, I was appalled by its enormous size. In every dimension the scooter seems to be unreasonably large, particularly surprising is the size of the deck - it’s almost a foot wide!

Ok, I know that this item is marketed for adults, but it seems to be designed for unusually wide-footed humans.

I’ve read reviews from people who actually praised large size as a virtue, yet I wanted a scooter which i can easily take with me on a commuter train, and Knowped’s large size made this proposition rather problematic.

The ultimate fault, however, is the fact that when scooter folds, the wheels stick from both ends, which means that scooter can neither stand on it’s own nor be leaned against the wall. So whoever decides to take Knowped along on a mass transit ride, must be prepared to hold it for the entire duration of the trip. Once I realized that, I’ve put scooter in the box and shipped it back.
