Updates:
We love the Go-Ped but unfortunately it seems to be off the market for the last few months.
In replacement, we’re introducing the Micro Monster Kickboard and updating Kickped’s and Xootr’s Stastistics for 2015.

Under the radar:
Oxelo Adult Kick Scooters (big in Asia) and Hudora kick scooters for Adults (big in Europe).

KickPed Xootr MG Micro Monster Kickboard Scooter
 Pros  – Sleeker looking narrow deck

 in general you should be very careful riding a kick scooter in the rain. On wet surfaces it can be very easy to slide.
– Most Popular Scooter Bought among 3 on Amazon
– Scooter with the Lightest Weight
 – Has 3 wheels instead of just 2
– Makes balancing and moving on the deck
more sturdy and tough
– Can stand on it’s on when stationary without a kickstand
– Choice of T-Bar or Joystick as Handle Bar
– Deck absorbs the bumps on uneven surfaces well
 Cons  – Has no front brake. – Most Expensive
– Supports the least weight among the 3 scooters.
 – Has no front brake.
– Not as much reviews as other kickscooters
– Similar 3 wheel design with kids kick scooter version
– As Handlebar  is interchangeable, it is less rigid
 KickPed  Xootr MG Micro Monster Kickboard Scooter
Our Score 7.2 out of 10 8.4 out of 10 7.8 out of 10
Our Verdict  The KickPed is suitable for people who want a more comfortable and less bumpy ride on the scooter and are willing to compromise on a little less speed.With it’s narrow deck design, it is slightly more portable than the rest of the other scooters.Be ready to deal with the bad smell from the tires for the first few weeks and some rattling sounds from the spring on the handle bar when scooting.  Xootr is the fastest scooter among the 3 in terms of distance covered per kick.  It also offers an adjustable handle bar for users of different heights.Most users are repeat buyers of Xootr scooters for their family. They are full of praises for the service and support for warranties and issues with the scooter.The Xootr Kick Scooter is unsuitable for rough terrain and more for city usage on clean cement pavement.Some yearly maintenance needs to be made after excessive usage (lubricating oil on pin-lock area, handle bar replacement), other than that it is sturdily built and convenient to use.Xootr also stands out for its style factor.  A unique design among the rest of the pack of adult kick scooters. The Micro Monster Kickboard  has two front wheels and one in at the back, offering better balance and greater stability for those wanting to surf  long curves and pump up speed on the streets.Great for those into long rides on open pavements.We also dig the fuss-free folding mechanism.(View videos on our review page for reference on the folding mechanism)
