Instead, the hip mode of transportation evoked the era of Eisenhower, if not the Flintstones. The foot-propelled scooter captivated virtually every age group in every community across America. Collapsible, portable and all but useless for even medium-distance commutes, the scooter achieved enough prominence to generate its own backlash: injuries to riders, irritation to pedestrians.

Rage's versions radically transform the originals, altering the melodies and providing fresh rhythmic fire. Paying homage to rebel heroes, Rage has confirmed its place among...
