The Newest Sports Toy for Kids: Pumgo

What is a Pumgo, and how does it work? This new sports toy has a 4-Wheel-Drive and all-wheel steering system which allows the rider to ride with just a simple pumping motion. This motion is similar to that of a seesaw. Pumgo can reach speeds of up to 10 mph and is great for hard, flat surfaces. With a detachable brake and adjustable steering riders have the freedom to customize Pumgo to fit them. People of all ages can enjoy Pumgo!

Is it hard to learn how to ride Pumgo? Not at all. Most kids learn how to ride in about 5 minutes and no skateboard experience is necessary. In fact the similarities between skateboards and Pumgo are quite limited. Both use the same style of deck (the board itself) and both ride along hard surfaces on four wheels. Beyond that, Pumgo is an entirely new experience.

Pumgo is not only a great way to have fun, it`s also an excellent way to get a good workout. The Pumping motion is similar to walking up stairs. Riding Pumgo is a great cardiovascular and leg-muscle workout. With Pumgo both kids and adults can get a good exercise indoor or outdoor.
