Sporting Goods Manufacturing Giant Reintroduces Iconic Toy of the 1970s

SANTA FE SPRINGS, Calif., Feb. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Bravo Sports, one of the
world leaders in the production of wheeled toys and action sports products,
announced today the release of its long awaited Pulse Kick 'N Go, a
reengineered version of the original Kick 'N Go scooter of the 1970s.  This
modern incarnation of a classic racing machine offers a markedly faster and
smoother ride; new high-tech gearing; and contemporary design features
including a high performance Chromoly steel frame, band braking system and
state of the art high speed polyurethane wheels. The Pulse Kick 'N Go is
currently available for presale at http://www.Toysrus.com.

    The new two wheeled Pulse Kick 'N Go ain't your daddy's scooter of
yesteryear! Unlike traditional scooters that require constant pushing off the
ground, the Pulse Kick 'N Go uses a unique chain driven kick lever propulsion
system that allows even the most novice of riders to accelerate and maintain
speed without ever touching foot-to-ground. The ease of use is extraordinary
allowing first time riders to jump on and go while easily executing tight
turns and maintaining a balanced stance on the deck. Strong enough for dad to
take his nostalgic laps around the neighborhood, the Pulse Kick 'N Go
represents the next generation of wheeled products to offer transportation and
perennial fun in a physical outdoor activity for kids of all ages.
    "One of the most vivid memories from my youth is my Kick 'N Go," said
Bravo Sports President and CEO Tony Armand. "It was my all time favorite toy,
and it has been in the back of my mind for years to start a project here at
Bravo to re-create the Kick 'N Go, utilizing our world renowned polyurethane
wheel technology. What a deja vu thrill it was for me to climb on that first
prototype and rip around the warehouse. This product is so unique, and
everyone who rides it has a blast right from the very first kick. Needless to
say, we are as excited about the Kick 'N Go's potential as we are about riding
it."
    The Pulse Kick 'N Go, to be available in stores in March, retails for
$99.99msrp and has two color options: one with black wheels and decals, the
other in red. Visit http://www.pulsekickngo.com for additional information
