 Solid Scooter January 16, 2007

I ordered this item for my son for Christmas and found it fairly easy to put together (always a plus!). The brakes gave me some difficulty until I figured them out but other than that it was easier than other toys I've had to assemble. My son hasn't used it much yet (we live in northern PA and it's a little cold out to be riding a scooter around) but he's tried it out and is very comfortable with the way it handles. It appears to be a solidly built scooter and doesn't look as if it will break easily (another plus when you're talking about a scooter bought for a 12 year old boy!). All in all, I would recommend this scooter to anyone looking for something to ride off-road (the bike tires are the main reason I went with this model instead of one of the Razor scooters -- Razors may be nice but they don't work well on gravel and dirt roads).

Got this for my 6 year old cause he kept falling off his razor, I guess because of the small wheels and because I wanted him to learn how to balance properly when I took his training wheels of his big kids bike. He loves it and we're both happy with our purchase. I would definitely recommend. Now his sister wants one so she can put her razor aside.
 Kent Super Scooter vs. Schwinn April 19, 2007

I ordered one Kent Super Scooter with the Schwinn Scooter as a pair. The Kent was a few buck cheaper than the Schwinn and much Nicer. Wheels are bigger, back and front brakes and handel bar adjustmet for small and somewhat larger kids. The Schwinn is too small for my 8 year old and cannot be adjusted. The Kent is still a little too short for my 11 year old, but a MUCH Better Buy than the more expensive smaller Schwinn. Now I'm just looking for a scooter built like the Kent with taller handel bars for bigger kids. Wish I could ship the Schwinn Back and get a second Kent for my 5 year old.

Got this scooter for a ten year old who has developed a resistance to learning to ride a bicycle. We have tried for years to teach him to no avail. He can do pretty much anything else; plays soccer, baseball and basketball well. He simply has developed a fear of the bicycle and refuses to try. We hoped that the scooter would help and it has! He took right off on it after a few tries and can now balance himself for several hundred feet until he runs out of downhill road!
He loves the scooter, and Dad(me)does too! It was relatively easy to assemble, although I did need an extra pair of hands to get the brakes adjusted properly. Assembly time was under 10 minutes. The scooter has a strong frame like a bicycle and all the hardware to match. I would rate the quality equivalent to a Huffy or Murray bicycle that you would get for a kid this age. I expect that it will last until long after the first son has outgrown it and the second son will use it also.
UPDATE March, 2008: I bought a second one last summer for my other boy. He loves it, too. Both scooters have held up very well. Money well spent!
Sturdy and fun - bumpy sidewalks OK July 2, 2007

I bought two of these last Christmas for my 7 and 9 year old children. We live in a place with few sidewalks so I wanted something with wheels that could handle asphalt and gravel. These are great! Very sturdy and smooth on bumpy surfaces. The hand brake adds some security. I do agree that the handlebars don't go high enough for tall kids, though. Overall a great buy!
