Kick Scooters
Kick scooters or push scooters have caused real fashion trends in the urban environment where the possibility to use a small platform on wheels that you propel by pushing off the ground is more than just appealing. Push scooters are usually made of a folding aluminum frame, and their use is not limited to a group age alone, as anyone can enjoy them. Push scooters can have more than two wheels and the aluminum is replaced by plastic in some designs.
The late 90s was the dawn of the push scooters craze, when a folding variant of the traditional kick scooter was designed by the Swiss, Wim Ouboter. A few years later, mass production of folding aluminum push scooters was started by Razor in the US, Europe and Japan. The most famous producers of push scooters at present include Micro and Razor, but these companies mainly target children and young adults interested in the urban trend of informal traveling.
Push scooters for adults are made of more resistant materials and incorporate special features that increase durability. Thus, the decks are longer and wider, the wheels are larger and there are hand brakes included. The size of the standing adult is the relevant criterion for the mass production of larger push scooters, and it seems that production is intensely encouraged by sales. It looks really cool to use a push scooter and travel in crowded urban areas where the ground traffic is infernal.
Folding push scooters don't make the only category available, there are models that do not fold but have other features for different utility needs. They move faster than the folding version and some are even created for off road purposes. Kickbike, Sidewalker and Diggler are among the most famous producers of larger street push scooters. Some of the companies also share a production history of other road and sports items.
A new category of push scooters entered the market in 2006, when a company called Nextsport started the production of a four-wheel scooter they named Fuzion. This kind of kick scooters are larger and heavier than the Micro and Razor products, but their stability is amazing and the spinning capabilities of the handlebar could prove highly useful. Free-stylers will often use this kind of push scooters, and the practice of stunts and acrobatic performance are rather common.
