thanks for the review, I just ordered mine this morning. i want to ride with my son who is 10, he has a small razor scooter. This kick ped looks like a lot of fun, can't wait to get it.
Peace be to you ! Thanks for doing this! I did a review on another adult scooter on MY channel. I think yours is better. I would like to purchase this.
I ordered a know ped, however I am also going to try a 'mibo tiny'. I have a mibo revo with racing wheels and it is the fastest kick bike I have ever owned, so I have high hopes for the mibo tiny, it looks compact and very well made and folds.
Had a Xootr for many years, and didn't like the bumpy, difficult ride over most services. The hard wheel scooters are not good on pebbly services (which are most streets and sidewalks), but they brag about the great glide. LOL Well, you'll get a good glide on a newly paved whatever, but NOT your average street. I got the Atom Sidewalker, a scooter with pneumatic tires, and I love it. Check these out, and stop trying to scoot around dirt and small rocks; with these wheels, you just roll over them without the grip of death on the handlebars.
I told them I was concerned; they sent me a spare (very nice) but it is a stock size tire easy to get. But it's a beautiful tread, and will wear well; I love it.
as a bike rider my whole life i agree the kick scooter's are not just for kids any more they are light fold easy electric scooters are getting cheaper and better now...
I bought the kickped and thought it was good then tried a friends xootr! Xootr was WAY more efficient and faster. Xootr board is lower, so you’re not doing squats all the time; rolling resistance is minimal. Xootr rocks! Kickped for sale in CA...make offer.
Just the opposite with me. Bought a xootr, but riding on less than perfect roads and sidewalks was truly bone jarring and unsafe. Sold it on Craigslist 2 weeks later, then bought the kickped which was way more secure and fun, because I didn’t have to fear for my life after each turn. It’s like the suv of kick scooters. Xootr was more like a take-it-to-the-park thing for perfect asphalt, great for smooth fast roads, and really quick. The kickped is for more like for actual commuting and exploring in cities, more pleasant and less distracting to ride.
@@jimiburns6891 Same here. Xootr is fast but if you hit a sidewalk crack you're done for. And forget hills, too dangerous. Same goes for all of the hard wheel scooters. And the constant rattle and jarring over the inevitably imperfect roads you will actually have to use in real life is also terrible. I will take a speed hit any day for safety. The razor air a5 is too slow though and poor quality, constantly having to struggle with the folding mechanism and tires super hard to inflate. That is why I ordered a know ped. The sidewalker atom looks like the deck is still too high, you are gonna get REALLY tired really quickly with a deck that high, trust me.
As a general rule a wheel bearing consists of a fixed inner race, the bearings themselves (most commonly hardened steel balls), and an outer race. The nut or bolt that secures the inner race to the fork or frame should not in any way change the rolling resistance of the bearing. Loosening the nut will not reduce bearing friction but it may well eventually cause the wheel to fall off. In short, don't loosen the nut thinking you'll reduce friction and increase speed unless you want to increase the speed of the ambulance taking you to the hospital after the wheel falls off and you crash!
You're most welcome. I will add that if loosening the nut or bolt holding on a kick scooter wheel does seem to decrease rolling resistance (this does occasionally occur) it is very likely because either the wheel axle is bent or the holes in the fork dropouts are misaligned or bent.
I'm getting a Razor A5 air. $104 plus sales tax. 8" pneumatic tires. Read the negative reviews of NYCe support and guarantee welshing. Headset failure, etc. American made, oh joy.
Held up very well, no issues to speak of. I've since passed it on to someone else and they are putting miles on it still. This is a very well crafted scooter!
Hi.. great review. Do you what the difference is between your Kickped and the KnowPed? I'm in the UK and can't seem to get hold of the KickPed, only the KnowPed!!!
@@JaysDMC No worries. I went ahead and bought the knowPed. But just after a couple of days I've decided its not for me, so I've put it up for sale (fb marketplace). Cheers
6 inch wheels actually not 8 inch. The way you tell the front is by having the strap facing you. The wheels don't seem to have spacers but you can loosen the nut up a bit to let them spin more freely.
Yes, there is no suspension on this one that soaks the bumps up. It's not bad though. The wheels are quite large and the wheelbase itself provides a very steady ride.
@@JaysDMC Thank you, looks like the Razor A5 Air is a better choice, it does not cause bumps when it went over the joints. It gives you a VERY smooth ride.
+Oscar martin quintanilla Have you reached out to www.nycewheels.com/ yet? Perhaps they have an easy shipping solution for you. I understand that their support system is very good!
+Oscar martin quintanilla We are the only place to get them, you can use the international order form to place an order for one here: www.nycewheels.com/international-orders.html
I think you'll be fine. Occasionally my 8 year old will play with this scooter and she's no where near 5'8" and she gets along fine with it. I'm 6'4" and I think it's a good size for me.
This scooter is well built, has cushy wheels but is an absolute slug. It's too high off the ground and rolling resistance sucks. The xootr absolutely kick ass over this one. Xootr is so damn fast and efficient. You can Xootr 25 miles compared to maybe 3 miles before you're worn out. Just my 2 cents and I scoot 5 days a week.
Xootr where 25 miles? Lol, the surface you on must be very smooth, perfect like a car park. I had all Xootr models and they are fast but the vibration affects your nuts, and that's no joke. If you want the best kick scooter in the world then this is it : www.boardyonboard.com
This scooter is the coolest one. Mine still rides great after 3 years. Congratulations and enjoy!
Great video! Glad you're loving the scooter.
thanks for the review, I just ordered mine this morning. i want to ride with my son who is 10, he has a small razor scooter. This kick ped looks like a lot of fun, can't wait to get it.
you won't be disappointed. I was using last night. such a cool little scooter!

Good for you dude, we should all buy what makes us happy and our lives easier 😀
Thanks! I agree
Still have mine and it is fantastic!
They're indestructible!

Are the sidewalker tires easy to replace if you get a flat? With this model you don't have to worry about that..

Got a razor a5 prime, totally checking this out for rougher rides
It's a really solid scooter!
@@JaysDMC looks super sturdy, minimal moving parts and hard rubber wheels for small Rocky roads!

Yeah, kickped will beat you down. I commute on my xootr 6 miles everyday, no problem.
@@jimiburns6891 I had the same exact experience with Xootr

good for me i only road a Zap scooter 10 years ago so this is close in wheel size
much lighter the Zap was about 30 to 40 lbs as i recall

maybe review 16 inchers ?
Hi just want to ask if your rear wheels is freewheeling now smoothly or did you add a washer? thank you.
jin kazama I had to loosen mine a bit as there was quite a bit of drag. I have another video about doing this on my channel.
Hi what's the comfort/shock absorption like? I think this doesn't have suspension but the wheels look as though they will provide comfortable ride??
you are correct. it does not have a suspension. though the wheels are solid and hard, the scooter is quite comfortable - even on NYC roads!
2020 Update - How is this KickPed Scooter Holding up? Thinking about getting one if yours is still going strong.
Held up very well, no issues to speak of. I've since passed it on to someone else and they are putting miles on it still. This is a very well crafted scooter!
Thought was pedal one not reg kick scooter

do you feel the bump when the wheels go over the joints between concrete slabs ?

donde se puede conseguir el patín para adulto esta muy padre y cuanto aguanta el peso máximo saludos
Carlos Mijares aguanta 300 libras pero ya no la hacen, fueron descontinuado.
Can you adjust the height for shorter riders ? Or is it just strictly an adult scooter ? Thanks
the height is not adjustable. I believe they come in two sizes. this is the bigger of the 2.
ok thanks
why is it discontinued?
Is there a model that replaced it?
How do you go up a hill without a motor?
LOL with great difficulty depending on how steep that hill is!
where can i get these wheels
Rettungsliegerfan got mine on eBay. however, nycewheels here in NYC sells them
hard to find in Europe :(

Is it better than razor a6
Hard for me to say. I don't have any experience with the A6. I hear great things about it though.
Is there a model number ? or its just called NYCEWheels KickPed ?
When I ordered this is was just referenced as a KickPed
Still available directly from Goped USA. Is called KickPed
@@safugpac2691 I still see people riding these around NYC to this day. Very popular!
What's the weight capacity?
+Michael Chones For this unit the recommended limit is no greater than 300lbs.
Thanks. I just looked up another with a 400lb limit. Called the Knowgo kickped.
i will get an electric scooter from zero scooters model zero 10 full suspension disc brakes full lights
Had a kickped myself and a Xootr...but neither can compare to the Kleefer scooters.

goped knowped better
In what way?
i like electric scooters this one i don't like it
I like electric scooters as well. I have an EcoReco M5. What about you?
@@JaysDMC soon i will get a electric scooter called joyor
@@LiviuDragon Very cool!
Of course you prefer e-scooters, you're a lazy bum.
E-scooters are for lazy people.
too bad it's not produced anymore...
What a shame. Is the company still around? If so, do they have something similar to this?
@@JaysDMC no they are not. the Goped Knowped is basically the same scooter with an added frontbrake.
Not true. I just bought a kickped from the Goped website. June 2024.
@@venkatinator you talk trash. the company is not around anymore, goped is a different company. STFU.
