First off I have now got this usable, but total spend was more like £150, not the £79.99 ticket price. Even at that price it is still good value, but it was a faff to get it up to a reasonable quality. A lot of these issues could have been spotted with a simple check over, and I'd encourage sellers of this product to do so, and even consider feeding back to the manufactures that many of the components are arriving not-fit-for-purpose. Major Issues: (First two pictures) Even after truing by a local bike shop the braking action is grabby as the wheels still have a wobble that was not possible to true. You can see this in the pictures where brake wear marks (from 3 miles of use) are uneven and show low points in the rim where the rim hoop is joined poorly. (Third picture, silver component with slot, and fourth picture damage to plastic thread) Barrel adjuster on brake lever very poor and threads chewed up from factory. Corresponding thread in brake handle also chewed up. (Fifth picture showing a caliper bolt with damaged thread from cross threading next to a good bolt) Bolt holding on front v-brake caliper arm cross threaded in the factory. The assembler new there was an issue as it was the only bolt that had been greased so they could tighten the bolt all the way in, something that should not be done for brakes holding on the brake calipers. Damage to the brake boss on the fork that interfered with the brake arm causing a stiff brake arm that didn't return properly. Needed to file off the protrusion. Thread for stand on frame not clear. Bolts not freely tightening. Minor issues: Brakes were assembled from the factory with no grease on the bosses, leaving brake arm motion inconsistent and stiff. The rim on the rear wheel isn't really suitable for rim brakes as the braking surface is quite a way from perpendicular to the direction the brake blocks come in at. Exaggerating the issue for clarity it's like the brake blocks are trying to pinch two sides of a triangle, not ideal. The design of the stand leaves the scooter liable to topple with a light knock when on the stand. Summary: When it is running it is a good concept, be it with poor braking performance - but equally likely to be better than you'd get on a small wheel scooter. Bargain basement parts combined with very poor quality control. I have to recognise this might be an outsider in terms of average quality for this product but for so many defects to make it through I suspect the probability of encountering similar issues is high. The manufacturer could argue I damaged the parts, but as a qualified mechanical engineer I can assure you that is not the case. Feel free to buy this if you are happy with the potential risk of needing to replace various bits and get the wheels trued as I have done. If you are buying this hoping for something perfect then allow for time returning it to the seller for swapping if you receive something like I did.Read full review

The kids love them, we got them at a bargain price and hopefully will last the summer. There are a few quality issues, but you get what you pay for really. Out of box the wheels aren't true so the brakes bind, the kick stands don't work and required a bit of bending into shape so they functioned, and the headset constantly comes loose.
