Default Honda Kick N Go- Honda History Lesson

Not sure how many are aware of these little things. In the mid 70's Honda decided to try out the kids scooter market, they came up with a amazing little chain driven "kick" pedal that really moved! BUT in a couple years 2 kids died riding them and Honda stopped production, and recalled all. A few of these little gems are still out in the wild. I picked up one for $40 bucks in decent shape" and restored it/modded it. Kinda neat side project! IF you have any interest in these please add yourself to the Kick N Go group page https://www.facebook.com/groups/540628509318336/


When I bought it....




And now....
