Overall, a good scooter - but not without issues! I have purchased two of these scooters. They are smart looking, my children (aged 7 & 9) love them, they ride well and seem durable. The reason I am giving 3 stars is down to poor quality control and setup, especially on the second scooter. Both scooters came with poorly adjusted head bearings (very loose). Adjusting the bearings requires specialist headset spanners (you can get away with a single large adjustable spanner and a lot of trial and error). This is not really acceptable as loose head bearings cause steering issues, excess vibration, lots of rattling and can quickly cause bearing brinelling. As a person familiar with cycle maintenance I was able to sort the problem but I'd feel sorry for any parent who isn't used to dealing with such issues. What I found completely unacceptable was on the second scooter THE ENTIRE SET OF LOWER BALL BEARINGS AND RETAINER WAS MISSING from the steerer! This is outrageously bad and if I hadn't dismantled the steering to discover and rectify this the bearing races could have been destroyed. I ended up having to visit my local bike shop, shell out £4 on loose ball bearings of the correct size and spend half and hour sticking them in place with grease before reassembling the headset and adjusting it. It now rides beautifully but I really do not expect this sort of shoddy quality control on a scooter costing £40. After the additional expense and time spent rectifying the faults I am confident the scooter will perform admirably. As it comes out of the box, it could quickly end up ruined and unable to be ridden. Given the scooter's intended use is for performing stunts, I find the bearing issues (in particular the missing bearings) very concerning.
