MongooseExpo Kick Scooter, BMX-Style Handlebar & Brake Cable Rotor, Wide Foot Deck for Kids Youth Boys Girls Ages 6 and Up, Rear Axle Pegs, 12-Inch Air Tires, and Max. Weight of 175 lbs.

This is a truly great scooter - the best peadal scooter you can buy - by far! Much safer than small wheel scooters that are VERY dangerous to use outdoors. This has pneumatic tires and can be ridden off-road on grass which means it is also great on rough sidewalks. It is also very fast. I am 165 lbs., 5 ft 10 in tall and can ride no problem, it is very sturdy. Kids also love riding it.I don't understand the complaint about hurting ankles, these are rubber caps that come with it to out on the rear axles to protect you, then you just learn quickly how to pedal without striking the scooter.Brakes work well but must be carefully set up or won't work. You need to read instructions and know how to adjust brakes or watch a YouTube video.There is no other scooter in the market in this class anymore. This is the kind they had when I was a child, but even better! I'm a mechanical engineer and I seriously approve of the design. If you have a bike, get one of these too for some variety of exercise and fun! Bought to keep up with my daughter when we took off her training wheels but can still help her over curbs and getting started while on my scooter. Now all the cousins want one too and will get two more for Christmas!

My kids are 6 & 8 and love it! It’s a little big for my 6 year old but we adjusted the handle bars and now he’s starting to take off on it. It is a little hard for him to handle it too bec of the size.. but he’s determined he’s got it! Lol. It is a nice size scooter for sure! It isn’t like the small Razor scooters with those “rollerblade wheels”. They will have these scooters for a long time! Even my 8 year old has plenty of time to grow into this! Let’s just say they won’t grow out of it in a year 😂 and I love how they have bike wheels instead of the other kind with “roller blade wheels”.. they can go on and off road with this one! Which is awesome! And has hand breaks!!🙌🏼 My 8 year old has ruined so many pairs of shoes bec of his old scooter.. the break was located on the rear of the foot board which made it hard for him to slow down.. so he would drag his foot on the ground 🙄 and would come in with holes in his shoes lol!! So they are really enjoying them and so am I 😄.. no holes in shoes since we now have hand breaks, no kids almost flying over handle bars bec they tried going from pavement to grass with those “roller blade wheels”, and it will last them for years!! Great buy! Only thing I wish it had was a kick stand! I’m looking into whether or not I can put a universal kick stand on or not. They are too nice to let them lay on the ground!

I got this scooter on a whim, to see how it worked. I've ridden electric ones (and bicycle and motorcycles), but never a manual scooter. Now, keep in mind, I'm over six feet tall, and 200 lbs. This little scooter had no problem carrying me! It does what it's supposed to do - you push it, and you can coast for awhile. Going downhill, you can get going plenty fast - wheee!!! Uphill is a great workout for your legs.Now, some caveats.1. When you assemble this puppy, be sure you take your time, get the tools they advise you to use together, and buy some grease (e.g., lithium car brake grease). Do this before you start, so you don't have to hunt for anything. I spread it out over two nights, took my time, and had zero stress. Total time for me was maybe an hour.2. The instructions are pretty complete. If you follow them and don't rush, you should be fine. Did I say don't rush? DON'T!3. Be sure to PAY ATTENTION to the details on the brake cable hookup. This machine has a somewhat complicated "collar" that allows you to swivel the handlebars 180 degrees, and more, for fancy tricks. What that means is that the cables don't physically connect all the way from the hand-grips to the wheels. They go through a swiveling collar. It's a neat engineering trick, but it's also not finely machined. So you'll need to take your time to understand how it works, adjust it, and set it up right - so you can stop safely.4. Having read horror stories about bicycles and other wheeled beasts shipped out of China, I pumped up the wheels to the full 40 lbs and twirled them after bolting them to the frame. And ... grind, grind, grind. Yes, just as others have noted - the wheel bearings are pretty poor, and worse, there is not nearly enough grease to help them move. So ... you will need to take apart the wheel hubs, front and rear, and SLATHER the grease in there. Put in enough that it literally squeezes out when you screw (don't tighten!) the hub nut back down on the axle.There are no instructions on how to do this. You'll have to Google something like "greasing or lubricating bicycle or scooter wheel bearings". You do this step BEFORE you bolt the wheels onto the scooter - not after, like I did. Basically, you'll need two wrenches, one to hold the nut on one side of the axle, while you unscrew the nut on the other side of the axle. You only need to unscrew one nut on each axle, maybe 1/2" to 1" along the axle - and you can then get to both bearings. Fill each side FULL of grease, then lightly tighten the nut you undid on the axle back to where it was. You don't have to tighten them down. Finger-tight, or just a bit more should be enough. The front axle is just like the rear axle. To find out if you got it right, before you bolt the wheel onto the scooter, see if it spins freely and smoothly all by itself on the axle, without any wobble. If you are afraid to take this on, just bring the wheels to a bike shop, and they can do it for you in 15 minutes or less.The only other cautions I'd offer are that if you are as big as I am, you will have to be particular about where you put your feet. You will only get part of each shoe on the floorboard. It's made for smaller folks. Also, the brakes are OK, but you don't want to depend on them to get you out of trouble. Pretend you are riding a bicycle or motorcycle, and look out well ahead of where you are going, so you don't get surprised into a quick-stop situation. Because you likely won't stop very quickly. The brakes on this scooter are not near as good as most bicycle brakes.So, take your time, be safe, and have fun!!!

Awesome little scooter. My daughter loves the hot pink color, it looks rad and works really good.. brakes are good and tires feel good over bumps and cracks in the road and sidewalk
