MY son loves it

Awesome little scooter. My daughter loves the hot pink color, it looks rad and works really good.. brakes are good and tires feel good over bumps and cracks in the road and sidewalk

Cool scooter, easy to assemble. Would have given it 5 stars but it arrived with a small chip in the paint on the handle bars and the decals on the down tubes of frame are virtually impossible to remove. But the made in china print wiped right off with goof off on one of them. Good bang for the buck.

So glad this scooter is an option! We have a 10 year old with some motor skill delays who refuses to practice riding a bike. While he's getting good enough to get around on a razor, obviously the surface types are limited. I love that he can use this scooter to master the basics of two-hand braking (more on this in the "cons"), steering and balance -- all-the-while being on a trick-ready, solidly-built scooter that holds it's own in coolness factor. I know our 12-year old will also love it once she's able to get her hands on it! Assembly was no big deal at all. I was prepared for a fight after reading some of the other reviews, but was pleasantly surprised. Perhaps some points of assembly had been addressed by the manufacturer based on feedback? Interestingly, there were no instructions at all included -- though perhaps there is a link on a website or something if it came to that. However, the photos on the box are great -- even a couple close-ups of how the braking cables attach so they proved all the references you *should* need. As a couple of notes: (1) the handlebar nut as shipped was slightly loose and just needed a half turn to keep the handlebars and front wheel in alignment. (2) pre-loosen the front brake cable at the caliper in order to easily make the connection to the hand lever. Look at how it attaches on the rear brake lever for comparison. (3) I added a zip tie to hold the front brake line close to the front fork. Doing so helped the front brake calipers "open up" on both sides when the brake is released, preventing brake pad rub. You'll see what I mean once you get into it. (4) I opted out of putting on the buddy pegs, they seemed like a ripped up leg waiting to happen.Pros:Packed really well. The box is sturdy and all components are wrapped-up nicely -- had no damage that I've found. Build quality seems strong -- I actually like the weightiness of the steel frame as compared to the aluminum razor. 12-inch, air filled tires will make this a breeze to stay caught up on walks and family bike rides even though our roads are hilly and have a rough asphalt surface. Chews up groomed, unpaved trails and greenways. Wide, sturdy deck. Adjustable handlebars rock. Cool points.Con(s):Not a huge fan of the plastic rims -- I might be tempted to find a steel wheel replacement because I feel like the plastic is significantly hampering the stopping power. Perhaps once the brake pads and wheels get roughed up a little there will be more grip? I would only dock this a half of star though because if you adjust the brakes well, they'll do a good job of at least bleeding off a good amount of speed, but not able to lock the tires into some power skids. In any event, easier to ditch than a bike if things go south fast.

After reading too many reviews here, I feel like I entered a parallel universe wherein the denizens there are either talking about something completely different OR have never used a crescent wrench. I'm not a 'mechanic' but use basic tools nearly daily. It took about 45mins to put this scooter together along with adjusting the brakes so they work adequately. It would be suicide to think that one could stop in ten feet going down a 30% grade, but for 'normal' use I don't see a problem other than a kid's grip is not that of an adult.I bought this for me, a 70 year old male that weighs 12 stone and is 5' 11'. So far the only quibble (the same as reported by others) is that it was missing two axle keepers, which I will address with Amazon but not having them up front where the geometry (and gravity) is in you favor makes it not that big of a deal. The handlebar adjusts high enough (approx. 3") for me to push comfortably. The foot bed is fine, I don't know why anyone would want it wider unless you were cruising downhill all the time.To address some of the bizarre comments that I read:1) I'm a welder by trade - there is NOTHING bad about the welds in my sample2) The tires are NOT nylon but that smelly Chinese rubber that makes you gag when you enter any Harbor Freight store and they have NYLON cords, just like about ever other bike tire.3) The rims are aluminum, NOT plastic like so many say. Want to find out? Just scratch one withe a pen knife. As a matter of fact, if one is frisky enough, I'm certain that sanding the paint off the outboard sides of the rims would improve braking significantly. An orbital sander would do it probably without having to dismount the tire.4) There is no requirement to add the silly pegs on the aft axle that seem to destroy everyone's ankle.5) Perhaps some of the 'bent rim' comments have more to do with bulgy tires than rims, as that is my case while the rim, thus the braking surface, runs true.IMO, any kid that didn't have his head stuck up his iPod would find this thing enjoyable. For me, it is to be used in a place that has no paved roads but lots of boardwalks. After smashing my clavicle to smithereens, riding a bike off of a boardwalk, I consider being closer to the ground a benefit to an old body. This is new to me so's I'll update but I just had to answer to some of the strange things I read from those who are somewhere else in this universe and relayed things that are diametrically opposite to my experience.RIDE ON!
