Just got the scooter due to foot injury. Seems like my lower back does not like this? Any suggestions on what I could perhaps be doing wrong?

Have you tried raising/lowering the "seat" or handle bars? If you injured your more strong foot you may need a chiropractor to adjust your sacrum if it's out of line. I have had many strangers tell me their aches and pains with knee scooters now that I use one. I don't have issues with it but I'm an athlete and have had to train my body to stand for long periods of time. Maybe you just need an adjustment?

Bought this scooter for my daughter. Her response is: Stretch back by semi-sitting back on scooter. I didn't have any back issues but anytime I could I stretched my back and good leg. I hope this helps.

Hi Mark my back hurt when I first used the knee walker. I found when I almost stood/ did not curve my back pain went away. It takes time using new musclesKeep trying it will get better.

We had a similar problem. I don't know about a cushioned pillow. My husband put his knee on the last 1/3 of the pad so that his wound (between his knee and ankle) did not touch the pad of the scooter. You could try that or put a folded towel of it to act as a cushion.

I con't know why that particular thing happened, but I had a hard time putting the back on. It kept coming off and I finally just took the whole apparatus down and started over. It finally worked. I suggest you take the whole thing down and re-assemble. This chair is not very comfortable. Be careful when you bend over to pick up something from the floor from a sitting position. If you are on a slick or hardwood floor, the wheels are very quick to roll and the chair can tip over and roll out from under you abruptly - dumping you on the floor.

Mines run smooth,easy turns,no skids..if you had it for awhile im sure its just regular wear and tear as would anyother stroller but if its new .than did you try checking if your front wheel unlocked?that maybe the problem?or maybe its backwards? If not id definately return and get a new if possible and contact where you bought it from..hope that helps (:

It is several inches thick so either you need to lower your seat height (some vehicles with power seats) or your headroom will decrease :-) Also you need to adjust to keep centered on the cushion. No great, but better than leg cramps!

Sorry to say, but I think you have a bad motor. I would return it if possible or call Proform to replace it especially if you recently purchased it.

After using mine for over a month, I started having that issue as well. The front wheel seems to get stuck. I am planning to call Chicco for a fix, but in the meantime, a little WD40 got it working just fine.

use High performance oil - we got it at Walmart for about $6 fyi We changed the oil right away and then after about 100 miles - the scooter works great! Just hit 500 miles yesterday with no problems at all

We have not experienced this. Your local scate shop might be able to help you sort this out. It sounds like it might be a bearing. The good news is that the bearings and wheel assemblies are pretty universal.

My kid rides his scooter on his land wave, but the bottom of the scooter drags on the jump at the creases, would work good if he jumps but to roll over is kinda sketchy.

I think your seat is so thick and rigid. If it is, you can get a new seat which is thinner and more flexible. Look for the plastic and cheaper ones at walmart.

Hi Brian! I just bought myself the KickPed which has the same exact wheels as the Know-Ped (i.e. made by the same manufacturer "Go-Ped")... And yes, I have experienced very much the same as you just said... The fat rubber tires do make for a much slower ride... And much more effort is needed to kick scoot this baby... But, definitely alot of fun just the same! I too have been looking at the Xootr MG for more speed/distance with less effort... Let us know how that one works out for you, please... Looking forward to your update! Thanks!

Just built it for my 1 1/2 year old son. I can move the wheels only if I hold the body between my legs and use a fair bit of force. My older son is an expert scooter rider. He tried to turn during the inaugural ride and almost immediately fell off when the wheels didn't budge. I should add that I assembled it. Thought I had done it incorrectly, disassembled the whole thing and reassembled to find the same problem. Terrible toy.

We had no problems with our scooters although it has been a while, the child I bought the first one for is now driving a car I will tell you if they ride thru a puddle it will short out and you will have to wait for it to dry.Good luck

I am 180 lbs and the scooter did not make it up steep hills without losing most of its battery power. this scooter is not really meant for adults and not meant for steep hills.

Yes, I just got my bike and the seat wobbles a lot. I crammed some cardbd in where it appeared to be wobbling, but it only improved a bit. Does anyone have any suggestions???
