Product Description
The Pumgo Scooter is a new way to exercise that combines the benefits of bicycle and stair-climber workouts. Pumgo riding is an efficient, low-impact cardiovascular activity that burns the equivalent calories as cycling, rowing and power walking in an enjoyable riding experience. The reciprocal recovery pedals and dual drive-train system establish the Pumgo Scooter as a true innovation in human powered vehicles.
The 3-wheeled Pumgo is the worlds first PEDAL-POWERED SCOOTER. This exciting NEW product combines the excitement of free-riding with the health benefits of a full body cardiovascular workout.
Perfect for kids and adults, the Pumgo is powered by two reciprocal pedals similar to the up-down motion of a stationary stair-climber workout machine. The strong aluminum alloy frame easily supports an adults full body weight. The three wheeled design is stable and safe with a low center of gravity.
The health benefits of the Pumgo Scooter are well-documented. Dr. Dan Batchelder from Atlanta, who specializes in sports medicine stresses the importance of a balanced workout. Bowling, golf, push scooter riding and skateboarding only work one side of the body, leading to lower back pain and muscle imbalance, he says. The Pumgo Scooter, however, is a symmetrical exercise designed to strengthen both sides of the body. Additionally, the Pumgo Scooter delivers a faster, more efficient workout than running or biking.
More impressive is that the Pumgo Scooter is a JOY TO RIDE. The Pumgo brings the normally boring gym workout to the great outdoors where fresh air and beautiful scenery lift ones spirits to new levels of fun and enjoyment.
Fun meets fitness in a revolutionary new riding experience. The Pumgo Scooter. Once you try it, youll be hooked for life...and health!

 a real workout October 3, 2009
Sandra Spector (Palo Alto, CA USA)
This gives you a REAL workout. Of course it may be that I'm an adult doing it vs a kid, just having fun. Have to be careful 'cause stem (to handlebars) has some 'give' so feel a little nervous.
 Unpleasant, difficult to balance, flimsy, dangerous July 24, 2009
L. Woods (Sunnyvale, CA)

My wife and I got one of these each. She now has a bloody knee. It takes a lot of effort and is more or less unpleasant to keep these things balanced. If the street you are going down is crowned, as ours are, then with every pump of the pedals one of the back wheels will lift off the ground, tending to throw you off. The handlebar column wobbles all over the place, even when you tighten it according to the directions.
When you get the thing going, you can go perhaps 10 mph. It is OK, but like a stepper machine, a lot of work.
It is not fun. Oh, and wear a helmet and knee and elbow pads. These things are hard to control and seem flimsy to me. I don't get the feeling that it will last long. Basically, I didn't like it.
