Some scooters were meant for health and fitness and surely, here is something worth checking out. For now it remains a concept but if you consider the manner to which it will serve its purpose, you will agree that it is a key contributor towards health, fitness and eco-friendliness. The Pumgo scooter will be launched on June 27, in Venice Beacy by Land Surf Inc.

The Pumgo Scooter is driven by two reciprocal pedals similar to the up-down motion of a stepper or a stair-climber machine. By pumping the pedals in alternating motion, the rider propels the scooter forward with the full force of their body weight. Kids over eight love the smooth gliding motion while adults appreciate the heart pumping workout that tones the lower body.

The Pumgo Fitness Scooter is made for adults and children over 8 years of age. It was invented by Dr. Hui Yan who wanted to give bored gym individuals something more productive to do as far as their daily fitness routine is concerned.

These scooters are now being sold at Pumgo and Toys ‘R’ Us for $249.
