The brake cover was hard plastic that my daughter couldnt step on hard enough to stop, so she would have to jump off or run into something to stop."
"You can buy a cheaper scooter for sure but this one is the best value and getting whole family outside and exercising is pretty priceless."
"If the scooter can hold up to toddlers, preschoolers and big kids all day, everyday, in a public play area... that's the kind of quality we want!"
"This is great for a little kid's first wheels."
"When I was about to return it, I figured out that the wheels turn in the direction the handle bars lean."
"We initially bought a different scooter with one wheel in the front and two wheels in the back because I thought it would make it more stable."
"Today as we were riding down the sidewalk, not going fast or doing anything strange, on a scooter only TWO MONTHS OLD, the brake just fell off again. I just spoke with the company and although they were very helpful and assured me that the brake could be easily replaced, they also told me that this is very likely to happen due to the way it's constructed. That's fine to say, but if a child is used to using one and trying to stop even at a regular speed as he/she approaches a street, the brake suddenly not being there is going to throw them."

The large, pneumatic tire up front makes quick work of bumps and rocks. It will not stop my 9-year-old (65 lbs) son when he's rolling down our slightly sloped driveway. The rear wheel is like one on a regular Razor scooter - solid and slick. This works well on most dry surfaces, but be careful because it can and will slide in more situations than a grooved, rubber tire would. The drive chain attaches on right side of the back wheel, and it has a cover over it. That sounds like it should be a good thing, but the cover is actually so large that it prevents most right turns. Don't expect that your kid will continue to use it as a push scooter when the battery dies. Summary: This scooter is a good buy for the money, and so long as you are aware of the issues that come with it, it will make for a fun toy."
"+ Start Mechanism: E100 - Requires push start before motor engages; E200 and E300 will engage motor from a stand-still. + Recommended Age: E100 - 8 and up; E200 and E300 - 13 and up. + Tires: E100 - 8" inflatable tire on front, 4.9" polyurethane rear wheel; E200 - 8" inflatable tires; E300 - 10" extra wide inflatable tires. After comparing all the specs and prices, I decided the E100 would fit our needs perfectly. In our experience, you can get up to an hour of run time from a single charge, and a depleted battery pack can be fully recharged within 8 hours. :)."
"Takes a few tries for the younger kids to get used to so make sure they are all padded up...eventually they'll get the hang of it and will fall in love."
"We charged them overnight and our 7 year old rode his almost all day the next day with very few breaks."
"Bought this for my 7 year old daughter and she isn't ready to harness the power of this scooter."
"Perfect for my 8 year old daughter."
"Power switch is really flakey."
"Got this as a Christmas gift, my daughter rode it on 12/26 and the chain kept coming off."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I originally purchased 4 different sets of pads so that each of my boys would have pads that not only looked different so that we could easily tell them apart, but also matched their bikes. The major difference is that in addition to the very sturdy straps, this set has a stretchy material behind the pad that holds them in place - like a knee pad for volleyball does. The other sets only have straps that don't even keep the pads in place."
"The only damage I got was a scraped Jay Leno chin, bruised left knee, and road rash to my hip and right arm. My knee is bruised a bit, but I can only imagine what other damage might have happened had I NOT been wearing these pads!"
"The plastic protectors on the wrist guards are great for forward falls when they put their hands out, it prevents them from smashing their bones."
"Excellent pads, rest assured if your child falls he/she will be protected."
"I recently started longboarding was looking for something for protection so I could be a little less anxious to try out new things, I think I got lucky on these one, they fit very nice and I'm a Small Frame 5'5" 24 year old guy, but I feel its still a Good fit for anyone till a Large frame."
"My kids are very active skateboarders and rollerbladers and very rough on equipment."
"Each pad features a very sturdy velcro on the top and the bottom which makes them very comfortable for anyone that has larger legs than average."
"I bought these and within 20 minutes of having them on the fabric on the knee pad, which is definitely too big for the average sized female, started to fray."
