kick scooters

Stand-up foot vehicles

Kick scooters are lightweight, two-wheeled vehicles propelled by the rider pushing one foot against the ground while standing on a narrow deck.

Unlike motorized scooters, they rely entirely on human power.

Originally designed as children's toys, kick scooters have become popular with urban commuters for short-distance travel, often featuring foldable frames for easy carrying on public transit.
