a push scooter. Not one of the rollerblade wheel kickboards but an honest to goodness push scooter with at least 12" inflatable tires.

I know of several maufacturers in Taiwan and China that export to Korea but have failed to communicate with any of them my desire to find a local distributor.

Something like these:

I would be eternally grateful for any feedback.

Man, youre really determined.

My one association with a scooter is the christmas I was certain I was going to find my first real bicycle under the tree. Woke to discover .. a scooter instead. I was crestfallen. No, worse -- broken-hearted. I put on a brave face & thanked my well-meaning parents, but I only ever rode that thing sheepishly, far from the mocking eyes of my peers on their bikes. I even toyed with the idea of "losing" it in the river. (The folks made good the following year with a beauty red CCM 3-speed.)

Sorry, cant help you with your quest. But you did ask for "any feedback."

If you can't buy it locally...nothing wrong with buying it online from your country and have it sent to korea.

Thanks! I've found two different ones now. Took some careful searches in hangul on www.google.co.kr and lots and lots of patience. Seems that "off road kickboards" (�����ε� ������) are a very new invention around here and just catching on.

I'm sorry you had a bad experience with one. They're really a lot of fun if you don't mind looking like a bit of a freak (I'm 196cm tall). Much better exercise than a bike and just as fast downhill and nearly as fast on flat ground. They have been proven to be the fastest way to travel less than three miles in urban conditions.
