Is the Kicker able to handle potholes/cobbled pavements/uneven roads etc? Noticed the difference of the tyres of the KickPed and the cheaper version of the Kicker.. But will prefer the Kicker due to its weight and portability. Also, does it look weird...

The Kicker is not good for potholes or rough roads due to the somewhat small wheels. I have fallen a couple of times from it catching in a uneven sidewalk. I would only recommend the kicker for smaller adults. The frame is plenty sturdy, but the thin contact area on the wheels gets compressed and reduces your rolling distance a lot if you weigh over 165lbs. The size is OK for adults up to 5'9". Taller than that and you have to stoop to ride it, unless you have long arms. With better wheels it would be a great scooter for most adults.

It has a couple of diffrent functions on it Truck is one of them. Car, and walking are the other 2. The truck function is real good on it routes you around low bridges or if you go off its route by making a wrong turn it will let you know if there is a low bridge ahead. I've been in New York City, Baltimore, and a few of the pain in the butt cities in the east and it never screwed me. It is the one that I would by agine out of the truck specific ones, and I have had it since it came out 3 years ago and never had a problem with it. I Drive a 53'refer.

It has air-filled tires. I think it would be very suitable for bumpy pavement as far as comfort goes. It's very small, though, so if the bumps are more like pot holes, it might not be up to that level of bumpiness.

This bike is good for both paved and dirt roads, and it does have a kickstand. The bike is slitly heavy to lift or caring around. Overall is good for the price.

Get the Kicker subwoofer. I have heard both and the Pioneer is warmer but I blew two within a month. The power rating on this sub is extremely inflated. I know the Kicker will take abuse and come back for more.

Hi Nathan. I have had a City Mini Double for over a year now and I absolutely love it. It really is as good as all the reviews say. The front wheels can be locked to handle some terrain better, but it really is not designed for off-roading. If you are just going on some flat dirt or even grass at the ballfield, you should have no real problem, but if you are a more outdoors family, I would recommend the Baby Jogger City Elite Double (must confess, I own this one too) instead or at least something with air filled tires. That's the one I use all winter in New England in the snow and to the zoo and stuff in the summer. The City Mini really is versatile, though. I've taken it on planes and to to Disney & Busch Gardens, etc. Just depends on your needs. The Elite is expensive, but can be found elsewhere online for significantly less. Good luck!

I've ridden it around the block and also over rough asphalt, and it is generally ok. I would say it's about the same capability as a skateboard or inline skates. If it's a bump that you wouldn't want to ride over with your skateboard or inline skates, it won't be easy with the Sbyke either. There's a possibility of changing the rear wheels to larger wheels to go over bumps better, but no one at Sbyke has answered my question about what's the largest wheel size it can accommodate, and whether a larger wheel will affect handling.Another potential issue when riding over sidewalks is if you cross sloping driveways, it takes some finesse to keep it under control and not let it steer downward the sloping driveway.

Yes, it is good for both paved and dirt roads. The tires have a good tread pattern, and the bike has good shocks to help absorb the bumps of a rough road. I do not do any hardcore trail riding, so I cannot testify to any further details of how it performs off-road. I have taken it off pavement though, over some slightly rougher terrain and through thick grass, and it handled it well. It does have a kickstand.

KickPed|our toughest kick PP-KS-GOP-KickPed-WHPC That comes straight from the order confirmation email. The NYCe has proved extremely sturdy - I've been back over that same bump that collapsed the Urban several times without event ( I was pretty cautious & nervous first couple times!) The NYCe is not collapsible, so it won't have that problem, but if you plan to commute with it on a bus or train it would not be ideal

Hell yeah.. It should. But you know kickers are in their own class but i think the amp can handle. It's still going strong for me. A year and 2 months after I got it.

I have never been "off road" with mine, but I have had to ride through some areas where the road had been torn up for repairs. I did have to go through some short places where the road saw torn up and based on this I would not recommend this scooter for regular off road use. I think you would want something with bigger wheels for that sort of riding.

Ok well I have never used the pioneers so how they fair in comparison I can't say for sure...but I will say these are the best kicker 12s I have ever owned..the sound quality is amazing they really pump out some clean bass. I have a kicker 1800 watt amp pushing my 2 subs and I love um..no complaints here.thinkin of adding a 3rd sub..

It has 4 height settings. One runs on the skids and digs in just a bit, one runs slightly higher, one is high and used mostly for transport and the other 'floats' and follows the terrain. I use the last one mostly, even though it digs a little near a couple of ruts, doesn't kick up enough gravel to hurt anything. I have a gravel drive too, but right now it's more like a hard pack dust:). Better fix that in the spring. Oh, you can set the runner (skid) height too.

Mine runs my impact just fine. Now it doesn't run it like a nascar pit crew impact. But more than sdequate to take a tire on/off. If you're running a garage or business look at something a bit beefier. But for the occasional back yard mechanic this will be fine

The board will pick up speed quickly but requires a lot of pushing too. Depends on how many hills are on your route and how smooth the road is. Great board for the price, worth a shot..

It does. Going downhill and on flat is pretty great. The trucks aren't amazing - but if you're looking for a faster pace, just invest in better trucks.

The drive and balance it's lots better, it's like a skateboard. My 5 year loves it, is either this or his skateboard. My wife loves her Original Kickboard, she loves to go along with us, I go with my longboard skate.
