The scooter is built of aircraft-grade aluminum, a sturdy material that holds up to use and abuse through the years. Add in the foldable T-tube and deck, which tuck together to create a compact footprint (ideal for carrying when riding isn't appropriate), and you have a great kick scooter for virtually any situation. Other details include an enhanced finger guard and a patented rear fender brake for quick stops. The original kick scooter just got a whole lot better, making it even more fun for kids and teens alike. Plus, it's a blast to use, as your progeny will likely attest. It combined the traditional aluminum construction, however, with a number of recent innovations, including a spring less shock system that makes bumpy pavement feel smoother than ever and an all-new wheelie bar that guarantees an extra dollop of fun. Though it'll never replace the internal combustion engine, the scooter will give you from point a to point b much quicker than on foot alone, and requires just a few scoots of one's shoes in the process.
