An Introduction to the World of Kick Scooters Dave Glenn

A Freestyle Kick Scooter of today is much the same as it was a hundred years ago-a human powered land vehicle with a handlebar, deck and wheels that is propelled by a rider pushing off the ground. Today's Free Style Kick Scooters are made of aluminum, titanium, and steel. Some Kick Scooters made for young children have three to four wheels and the deck is made of plastic and the handlebar does not fold down. High-performance freestyle racing scooters resemble the old high wheel or penny-farthing bi-cycle, a type of bicycle from the 1870s that had a large wheel in the front and a much smaller back wheel.
