Kick 'N Go
My kids and I have been having a lot of fun with our Kick N' Go, a $100 scooter that's propelled by a chain-driven lever you press with your foot. Unlike Razor-style scooters, which send you flying over the handlebars whenever the tiny wheels hit a pebble, the Kick N' Go's wheels are big enough to roll over small obstacles without a mishap or the ensuing application of Hello Kitty band aids to skinned knees.

Oooh! I remember this from when I was a kid in the 70s!
Holy crap! I had one of these as a kid, and thought about it a lot after the 90's scooter fad.
Mine was big and clunky, and I figured I'd never know what it was called or where to get one.
Thanks for the post!
what's wrong with skinned knees.. that's how i spent the 80s
it was said i could fall off a bike before i got on it
My grandparents bought me a red Honda kickngo at a garage sale when I was a kid in the 80's.
It was so awesome I remember having lots of fun with it.
I found a picture of the vintage ones on this "do you remember" website. They do not seem to be that rare on ebay. I do remember that the one I had held up really well for years, no problems with the chain drive or hand brake. So, if anyone wants to save a whole grip of money, a vintage one might be a nice project to restore/paint with the kids.

my best friend when i was a kid (stephen bartlett, now a theoretical physicist in australia) had an original kick and go. i thought it was the coolest thing going cuz you didn't pedal it, you just kicked! i wanna build an adult sized one now!
Still have one of the originals (in blue) hanging up in my garage that my dad got me about thirty years ago. Great toy.
for the life of me I can not work out how this thing operates?
