What kid wouldn’t want to kick up their speed with the Pulse Kick N’ Go Nitrous Scooter?
This super cool, kid adjusted propulsion technology means the more they kick it, the faster they go!
The smaller, lighter Nitrous, designed for kids 5+, is the little brother to the popular Pulse Kick N’ Go Xcelerator which is aimed at kids 10-13.
Six year old Jackson had been begging me for an electric scooter. But there was no way I wanted to put him on a motorized vehicle of any shape or size!
But when he got a chance to test out the Nitrous, he was thrilled with it. “This is the coolest scooter ever!”
I was a bit worried that it would go too fast, but it is just perfect. He is in control of his speed, much like with a bicycle.
Yes - the Pulse Kick N Go is a totally cool scooter that will get any kid screaming with excitement Christmas morning.
The Pulse Kick N Go site also has some great videos so you can see the Kick N Go in action. Definitely check the videos out if you are considering a scooter for your kids this Christmas.

Come on down! The Pulse Kick 'N Go made it's way onto Contestant's Row on a recent episode of the long-running daytime game show, The Price Is Right. The package offered included three Pulse Xcelerators, three Pulse helmets and three sets of Pulse elbow and knee pads. The dude wearing the blue Plinko t-shirt ended up winning the Pulse package. He also won the game he played on stage, taking home a gumball machine, a sofa, a set of dumbbells, and a MacBook Air. Not too shabby...

Parents can now give their children some really great outdoor sports gear that is innovative and captivating to them. These great outdoor sports gear can help get your children more fit than other children that are staying inside all day long playing video games. Children will be running around in the grass and will not be rushing to get back inside, but instead parents will be begging their children to come inside to eat dinner.
One of the available outdoor sports gear on the market today is the Pulse Kick 'N Go Xcelerator. This super scooter is foot operated with a ratcheting gear mechanism that enables the rear wheel to give children hours of enjoyment. Children will find no trouble at all mastering this incredible scooter simply due to the fact that there is nothing to figure out. All your child has to do is get on the scooter and then pump their foot up and down on the ratchet bar to propel their scooter as fast as ten miles per hour.
Your children will never have to put their foot on the ground again and it can be used as a regular push scooter as well. This incredible scooter comes equipped with a hand brake and a kickstand to keep it from having to be laid on the ground. It is very stable due to its big wheel in front and children all over your neighborhood will love it. This scooter may be a little slower than normal push scooters, but it will help get some of that excess energy out of your children so they will not be bouncing off the walls inside of the house all day long.

Green Motorists Find Another Way to Scoot
AutoblogGreen Reviews Kick 'N Go in the Green Daily
http://www.pulsekickngo.com/NewsDetail.aspx?newsid=74
According to the advertisements, "The more you kick it, the more it screams." Perhaps they aren't talking about what you think they are talking about. In fact, the Pulse Kick 'N Go is a human powered scooter which has a large pedal on the back which allows powered movement without touching the ground. There is a chain which connects the rear pedal to the back wheel, which is designed to spin in only one direction. Along with what appears to be fairly sturdy aluminum construction is a large front wheel which should make this scooter a bit more stable than some competitors on the market.

Mommies With Style Review the Pulse Kick 'N Go
The Pulse Kick 'N Go Scooter Cranks out Summer Fun
http://www.pulsekickngo.com/NewsDetail.aspx?newsid=68
When all the kids on the block and your husband volunteer to be a part of your video review, you know are onto a product that is really something. All the kids and kids-at-heart on our block have experienced racing heartbeats and sweaty palms and all the signs of being madly in love with the Pulse Kick 'N Go scooter. On our "test day" there was a line ten kids long to try it out. Not a day has gone by since it arrived when it has not had a tour of the block. It's easy to use - I even mastered it in about thirty seconds.
In many ways the Pulse Kick 'N Go resembles the motorized scooters that several pre teens and teenagers in my area have been whizzing around on. But it's missing the motor part and I couldn't miss that less. I'm so much happier to see my kids go on their own energy, getting up to and maintaining speed on 100% kid power. The high tech design saves them from pushing pavement and gives them the action feel and speed of a motorized scooter (sans fumes). Given the current price of gas, I wish I had a crank like that in my car.
The Pulse Kick 'N Go conveniently folds down for storage and travel. It's great to bring on a roadtrip and easy to take along to a playdate at a friend's house or to the park. I could not find age recommendations on the site but it was easily and enthusiastically ridden by coordinated kids age 6 and up on our block. My husband had a blast with it too. He might even fall for it if I tell him it was his Father's Day present.

Playthings features Pulse Kick 'N Go
The latest ride-ons offer higher performance, greater safety and longer lives.
http://www.pulsekickngo.com/NewsDetail.aspx?newsid=54
While sales may not be what they once were in a market where outdoor toys, in general, have seen declining fortunes at the nation's top retailers, it's hard to say a bad word about ride-on toys—except maybe that they take up a bit too much space in the garage.
Still coasting on a resurgence sparked by the Razor scooter at the turn of the millennium and further fueled by a growing demand on the part of parents for products that get kids to work up a sweat, the ride-on business this month moves back to the forefront as springtime temperatures warm up demand for toys that offer some much needed get up and go after a long winter of not getting up all that much.

Pulse Kick 'N Go Lands in Toybook
http://www.pulsekickngo.com/NewsDetail.aspx?newsid=59
The Pulse Kick 'N Go scooter, from Pulse Performance Products, offers a fast, smooth ride with a new high-tech design. Unlike traditional scooters that require constant pushing off the ground, the Pulse Kick 'N Go uses a unique chain and kick-pedal self-propulsion system, allowing the rider to achieve blazing speed and tight maneuverability while maintaining a balanced stance on the deck.
