Purpose of the Kick Scooter
The LA MX 26/20 scooter size is similar to a bike, so it is sometimes called a "kick bike" or "foot bike." Riding one is similar to riding a bike, except that the rider stands on a low floorboard rather than perched on a high seat and propels it by kicking rather than pedaling.
Like standard bikes, Amish scooters are designed to carry a single rider at a reasonable speed, with or without a few goods in an optionally attached wire basket.
Riders up to 200 pounds can glide aboard this 17-pound, all-aluminum scooter (excluding fenders). The top of its floorboard is only 2-7/8 inches from the ground, making kicking easy.
Speed – moderate or fast!
Our Amish kick scooters are not equipped with a speedometer, so each rider must determine their own "reasonable speed." In general, a moderate speed suggests that the rider:
- Can firmly touch the ground with his or her kicking foot. The inability to make firm contact with the ground indicates that the kick scooter is traveling faster than the rider's kicking speed.
- Use brakes wisely for speed control. A front bicycle-style lever brake and a back "stomp" brake are standard equipment. Use devices to maintain riding speed. They should not, however, be considered as the means to execute an emergency stop as the last resort, as the kick scooter may skid or flip.
- Use brakes for short periods. The kick scooter's standard bike brakes, for example, help slow it down when traveling downhill. Extended brake application, however, can cause surfaces to overheat, wear, and, when accidentally touched, cause skin burns. Walk the kick scooter down very steep, long, downhill routes.
- Understands the difference between emergencies on a kick scooter and a bicycle. In an emergency, bike riders may become entangled in their equipment or be thrown over the handlebars. Kick scooter riders, however, can dismount by letting go of the vehicle and stepping or jumping off the nearly ground-level floorboard simultaneously.
Race with care! Our kick scooters are designed for conventional riding more than competitive riding. Racing, of course, requires the rider to understand their vehicle thoroughly and to check all aspects of it before each ride scrupulously.
Riding Surfaces and Stability
Like bicycles, our kick scooters can be ridden on sidewalks or roads over several surfaces. These include concrete, hard asphalt, packed block, and packed/groomed earth. Loose gravel and stone-filled roadways should be avoided. To retain stability, avoid riding in the rain and/or through puddles. Do not ride over wet vegetation, such as leaves (they are slippery and can hide objects like large stones, glass, and branches), or over any surface that is oily, slick, or soft.
Conditions to Avoid
Our kick scooters are designed to hold a single rider, with no additional rider sharing the floorboard or sitting on the handlebars. It is not built to be ridden off-road on ungroomed paths, used for stunts such as being airborne or spinning, or ridden recklessly at uncontrolled speeds. Night riding is permitted; however, riders must wear proper reflective gear and have a headlight and taillight on the kick scooter.
Scooters are shipped by dimensional weight. Slightly unassembled for shipping.

Maintenance
Cleaning: Use a damp cloth to clean your kick scooter and avoid aggressive scrubbing or soaking. Avoid riding through salt, as it can dull surfaces. Touch up painted surfaces with a matching color available from your kick scooter dealer.
Brakes and Hand Lever: A caliper brake and a hand lever related to the front tire are standard equipment. Information on brake maintenance is available in online articles and videos. Information related to the following link www.wikihow.com/Fix-Brakes-on-a-Bike covers this subject nicely.
Back "stomp" Brake: Check the stomp brake lever to ensure it contacts the tire when pressed with the foot, and that the tire does not show rough wear from use.
Bearings: Sealed bearings require no maintenance.
Tires: Ensure tire air valves are clean before inflating tires. Maintain air pressure to the PSI rating on the tire sidewall. Check treads and sidewalls for wear and cracking. Understand how to remove and replace your tires, and, as a convenience, always keep extra inner tubes on hand. Many tutorials and videos on tire maintenance are available online if you need more information.
Note that the use of “racing wheels and tires” on a kick scooter does not mean or imply that these scooters are built for racing. Racing wheels and tires are designed to reduce the kick scooter's overall weight and improve traction, thereby making cruising easier.
Seams and Welded Joints: Establish a regular schedule to examine seams and welded joints for wear and potential cracks. This is especially important for people who regularly ride on rough surfaces and/or who are near the scooter's maximum weight.
Accidents: After an accident, a thorough equipment examination is required. Check the frame to make sure it is not bent. Check that all the seams and welded joints are firm. Check the brakes and the handbrake lever to make sure all are in proper position and work.
Helmets: Although there is no law requiring it, we recommend that kick scooter riders wear well-made bike helmets.
