Customer Review: Just a little too Big, otherwise great
I thought it would be great for short distances to get to the train. I wanted something that I thought would have a smooth ride. The Go-Ped is very smooth to ride. It great. And, it is especially fun to ride with a slight downgrade. But, its also too bulky for commuting! It’s really! pushing it to sit on a bus or train seat with someone next to you. On a really crowded train its just too big. And the reviewer who commented that it doesn’t stand up is absolutely right. The problem presents itself even when trying to rest it at your feet. Its got to lean out a bit to rest on anything other than the wheel. Lastly while its fun, it was also more work than I thought for the speed. Frankly, I’d almost rather run (but, then I’m a runner). And, to be clear, I don’t think this is a bad scooter at all!! Its just too big relative to what I was looking for.
Customer Review: Love this ‘Grown-Up’ scooter!
I’m a 43 year old mom and nurse and I’d been riding my son’s Razor and almost killing myself when those tiny wheels hit a bump or a hole. Then I bought the Know-Ped and life became fun again! Yes, it’s bigger and heavier, but that’s okay . . . I’m bigger and heavier than a 9 year-old. I like that I can put my feet side by side while coasting and I feel oh-so-much-more stable. It folds down and hooks together nicely and you get a little biceps work out while carrying it! I keep it in my trunk and ride it from where I have to park my car to where I work in San Francisco . . quick, fun, good exercise. Highly recommended!
