This review is from: eZip 500 Electric Scooter (Sports)

This was purchased by my 9 year old daughter with her savings after her 11 year old brother received one for his birthday. They BOTH love their scooters and my husband and I have fun riding them around as well! The charge is just fine and the speed is perfect. They are made very durable and there's not one thing I can complain about. The kids ride them everyday and just throw them on the charge when they're done so they're always ready. We have not run out of battery time at all. This is a fantastic toy for all to enjoy.

My 12-year-old daughter saved and bought this scooter by herself after researching other models. The scooter has more pep than I thought - it has a fast start that can surprise riders not expecting it. It can carry my daughter and her friend around the neighborhood easily. Very happy with this buy.
