Purpose of the Kick Scooter
Amish scooter sizes are similar to those of a bike, and because of this, they are 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 150 pounds can enjoy gliding aboard this fun riding scooter, available with 12” wheels. Although the 12” scooter is geared more toward children, some Amish communities still use this size for adults.
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 kicking speed.
- Use the brake wisely for speed control. The 12" scooter only comes with a back "stomp" brake as 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 brake, for example, helps slow it down when traveling downhill. Extended brake application, however, can cause surfaces to heat excessively, 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 often get tangled in their equipment or are thrown over the handlebars. Kick scooter riders, however, can dismount by letting go of the vehicle and stepping or jumping off the floorboard at almost ground level.
- 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, for stunts such as airborne or spinning maneuvers, or recklessly at uncontrolled speeds. Night riding is possible; however, it requires the rider to wear proper reflective garments and to have a headlight and taillight on the kick scooter.

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.
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: Open-sided bicycle ball bearings require regular cleaning and lubrication, as with standard bicycle bearings.
Tires: Ensure tire air valves are clean before inflating. 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.
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 examination of the equipment 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 ensure they are in the proper position and working.
Helmets: Although there is no law requiring it, we recommend that kick scooter riders wear well-made bike helmets.
We also offer larger adult sizes and all-aluminum, Amish-made kick scooters.
