 Super Sharp! January 8, 2009
Linda K. Speck (Painesville,Oh USA)
This scooter is really nice! Much larger than I expected. A little bit of a pain to put together, but well worth it. It is made well, looks good, and my 7 yr old granddaughter just loves it!
Great scooter January 6, 2009
K. Walton (La Quinta, Calif.)
I got this scooter for my 5 yr old daughter. It is very sturdy and can hold the weight or both my husband and I. She loves this scooter and I would recommend it. At 5 she is still a little off balance but will be able to use it for many years to come.
Worth the $$$ January 6, 2009
Southosanity (TX)
Excellent "in-between" ride until the little one can learn to ride without training wheels. Helps with balance and steering, since the controls are almost exactly like a bicycle. Seems solidly built, and had no problem holding me for a couple of test rides :) Assembly wasn't a problem for me, but did take a few more tools than suggested. Handlebars don't go up very high, but I bought it for my 6 year old and had to put them at the lowest setting. Brakes can be tricky, but with a little patience not really hard at all. Whole thing took maybe 30 minutes to put together, and she has already gotten her moneys worth out of it. I would recommend to anyone looking for a scooter that can go off-road and on. For the price, you can't go wrong.
 Too big for 7 year old January 4, 2009
G. Kennedy (Boston, MA)
I purchased the scooter for my 7 year old son this Christmas. He loves his Razor and goes everywhere he can on it. While assembling the scooter was not particularly hard, it did take a good couple of hours. I found the directions to be inadequate. Putting together, and checking, the brakes took the longest. However, I still am not completely comfortable with the brake mechanism.
Still, the scooter is pretty sharp and drew admiring looks from other kids and parents when we took it out for a test run. We tried some steep hills and the brakes did stop the scooter. The one drawback is that the scooter is a bit big for a 4ft3" tall 7 year old. He found it hard to comfortably manage the scooter. His older 9 year old brother was better able to handle the scooter.
So the bottom line is that it is a snazzy looking scooter for an older child (at least 4ft9") though you may want to have the brake mechanism checked out by a technician at a bike shop.
Kent Super Scooter December 26, 2008
Gail Buchhorn (Lenexa, Kansas)
The scooter was basically pretty easy to assemble but it is impossible to adjust the brakes! I probably should have purchased the item at a bike shop or local retailer who would have put it together and made the adjustments. Now I have to take it to a "bike shop" as the instructions say and have the brakes adjusted before it can be used. I am sure the cost of the adjustment will be more than anything I may have saved by buying the item online.
