The Task It collection is designed for home use, with a slight bit more organic curves, just a little more domestic look, not heavy duty commercial/industrial use like a Kik Step. What are the differences? Task Its are made of heavy-duty plastic, Kik Steps are made of steel. Task It Scooters have a 300 pound weight capacity, Kik Steps have a 500 pound weight capacity (except the Stainless version at 300 pounds). Task Its weigh 9 pounds, Kik Steps weigh 11 pounds. Task It Scooters are 15" high, Kik Steps are 14" high. Task It Scooters are available in Red and Yellow, Kik Steps are available in 11 finishes. If you scratch a Task It, you don't get a shiny scratch, the color goes all the way through. Scratch the tough powdercoated finish on a Kik Step (good trick, incidentally) and you'll see a shiny steel finish. Non-slip treads are on both units. Here's a big difference: A Task It arrives in one piece. A Kik Step comes in two pieces, which takes approximately 2 minutes to assemble, no tools needed. But if you're getting this for someone who is perhaps a bit challenged about putting pegs in holes and then pushing down on the top to seat the pegs, you may want the Task It instead of a Kik Step. Both units have the wonderful automatically retracting non-marring wheels which have made Kik Steps so popular over the years. The wheels retract when 35 pounds are placed on top of the unit. Don't get this for a toddler weighing less. Kick it, it rolls, step on it, it stops. Finally, the style is just a bit different. A close look at the top reveals a bit different design in the tops. And of course, the Task It Scooter stacks. NO, do not stack two units on top of each other and try to stand on them. This feature is to save space, not to build a tower. Please see our complete line of Cramer ladders if you need to get higher than 15 inches. Task Its are new, so there have been development costs. Therefore, a Task It Scooter costs the same as a Kik Step which was developed in 1957. We hope this price eventually comes down, but for the moment... We hope you agree that the Task Its are great additions to the line. You may also be in interested in the related addition to the product line: the Task It Scooter Pod.
