We bought a cheaper Zip scooter last year and was very dissapointed. Had lots of trouble with it and the company was very hard to get ahold of. We bought this scooter for my son for Christmas and he loves it. It has been a way better choice than the zip we purchased last year. Deffinitely would reccommend.

The handlebar assembly directions were a bit vague and difficult to put together , but once assembled, it's basically just plug in, charge overnight, then off you go.

I just bought this product for my 11 year old daughter and it is worth the money. But, if you buy this, remember to always turn it off at night. If you don`t, it will ruin the battery and you will half to order a new one! So be careful!

I purchased this scooter for my 12 yr old daugter. I assembled it in about 15 minutes and chargered the battery and it was ready to go. She loves it. It has plenty of power to give me a good ride also. I weigh 220lbs. I strongly reccomend this product.

This is a great scooter. It was a gift for my 11 year old son from Santa Claus. He loves it and is having a great time riding. The online purchase worked out very well and the scooter was delivered to my local store on time as promised by Wal-Mart.

My son is thrilled with this scooter. It's sturdy and good quality. Easy to put together, although you need to pay close attention to the directions (and read ahead) so things go on the right way - especially the front tire. This will be handy for getting around at baseball games, horse shows and camping.

The scooter has been great so far. Our 8-year-old grandson loves it. It performs well. The only problem we have seen is the brake lever is a bit big for a small hand.

The Schwinn 500W is a good product. My very physically mature 9 year old was a bit timid to ride it at first, but once they tried they loved it! It is made for 13 year old+ and I should have been more careful to note that before purchasing it.
The hand brake requires a large hand to grip and operate it.
Assembly was complicated by the fact that the hinge in the handlebar was frozen and very difficult to open - had to use a crowbar to make it open enough to insert it into the front fork.
Sure wish the seat had come with height adjustments.

i really enjoyed riding it around although the fun stopped when the battery wouldn't charge anymore. The wires would disconnect while you were riding sometimes too. But overall it's a fun toy but not reliable.

I got this about a year and a half ago. Oh, lots of fun. Until the battery no longer takes a charge after about a year. Finding a battery is an online search only. No retailers have it. Then you have to pay $75 for the battery plus shipping which is quite a bit since they are so heavy.
I would say, if you don't mind using it for a year and tossing it out after that... get it. It is fun and easy to use.

This Scooter has high quality and I am very impressed. The build quality is strong and durable. The scooters battery lasts long. This scooter is great for neighborhood riding and its an easy way to go places. I highly recommend this for anyone needing clean and cheap transportation. So go ahead and get one.

This is a very good produsct. I only had one problem though. I got the Scooter on Sept. 6, 2007 and the throtle contol went out on it and now my son won't be able to use it the rest of the fall do to not hveing the part availble for it and there is no garentee that that is the problem with the scooter until we get the part in the middle of Oct. If that is not the problem then we may have to look at getting another one or getiing something different for him and that was his Birthday present form his Dad.

I bought this for my 10 yr old daughter from a local Wal-Mart. Assembly wasn't bad, but could have been simpler on the handlebars. Took my husband about a hour, but most was due to something being misaligned during shipment, if not for that, probably 30 minutes tops. My daughter absolutely loves it. She rides around our neighborhood and to friends. It is easy to operate and manuever. The battery last for about 45 minutes of continous riding.
Then she plugs the charger in about 20 minutes and takes off again. She will do this repeatadly until night and then plugs it in for a full nights charge. She weighs about 60 lbs and I have noticed when I ride it the battery drains more quickly ( about 35 minutes ), so weight is a factor to how long a charge last. However it rides great with me on it and goes about the same speed. ( I weigh 120 )
I have come to love it and jump on it instead of in my car to make short trips around the neighborhood. I always recommend a helmet, knees & elbow pads, which wal-mart carries a set of for about $20.00 just in case.
