Let me first off say i'm 28 years old and I bought this scooter off another site, but I respect Amazon enough not to say which site.

First impressions are the most lasting, the moment I opened the flaps on the box and smelled that new tire rubber smell I got excited. Upon taking it out of the box I was impressed in how well they made sure everything that could scratch was covered and parts were rubber capped. Assembly was such a breeze, that not only did it take less then 10 minutes, but my girlfriend in the same room slept right through it. I never installed the seat and don't plan to, so my review is based on standing.

After putting it together I had nothing left to do but stare at it until I had to go to work because it needs to charge for 8 to 10 hours. I got home from work around midnight and rushed to see if it actually works. While walking it with slight throttle to get from my backyard to the road I could already realize the power of this thing. This thing rides like a dream, the shocks aren't just for show, I took foot wide potholes and my body was never rattled. I weigh around 210 and this thing took me around the block so fast that I just had to do it again. The power of this thing is amazing, i know it was 15mph or less, but I felt like I was doing 25mph. The throttle is twist sensitive making turns and slowing down that much easier. The front disc break is also great for easing to a stop, though I found myself easing on the throttle till I was almost stopped then using the disk break to finally stop, this creates a real smooth stop.

A little warning though, I did get pulled over by a cop who told me its unsafe to ride at night without some sort of front bike light and some sort of back LED or something to make you visible at night. I fully agree with this, plus the reflectors that come with it are very small, so visibility at night is an issue. If you plan on riding it during the day only, then you won't need to worry about headlights and should be legal as long as you follow bicycle rules and local laws.

Overall, a great scooter for a great price that fully exceeded my expectations. Everything from the front disk break to the indicator on the handlebar grip that lights up for full, half, and low battery life shows the thought and quality put into this scooter. This thing is built for adults as well, its well over 50 pounds, but isn't as hard to lift because the weight is spread out. It doesn't look cheap or cheesy either, it actually looks very ahead of its time and will have people complimenting it for years. If you need alternate green transportation, or just something fun to cruise with, then you must have this scooter.

When it works it is really fun! The problem is that it only worked for 1 day. When we called for help we were told that we could not return the product but instead had to wait for repair parts to be shipped to us (they wanted to charge us for the shipping of these parts!)Since then it has worked off and on. I would only buy this from a local dealer who could service it if you get a lemon like I did.

I was going to get the razor scooter but this is so much better and I caught it on sale for the same price as the razor here on amazon! This has 900watts of power (the razor has 250) do not believe amazon's description of only 500W power! They had a typo! It is 900W! It will let you adjust your speed and the razor has no adjustable throttle. This scooter holds a heavier weight limit too.

I gave this to my husband for Christmas and he loves it. he weighs about 190 and we live in Colorado- very hilly- the scooter has no problems getting up hills. He has used it for probably about 5 hours and we have had no problems.

I purchased this item from Currie Technologies. When it was delivered the front fork had been welding on wrong preventing me from mounting the front wheel. When I E-mailed Currie pictures of their defective product they wanted ME to pay the postage and handing on the replacement part. Further investigation revealed that in order to replace the factory defective part I would have to cut the front brake cable in order to install it. Although I received no satisfaction from Currie I was able to return the item to Amazon and can only hope that they back charge Currie Technologies for the postage and handling just like Currie was going to do to me for the replacement part. Had Currie performed the proper quality control on this product to begin with this whole situation could have been avoided. I would not recommend purchasing this item.

The scooter was defectively welded on the steering frame making it impossible to assemble to front wheel, which was an obvious defect upon visual inspection. This happened TWICE, the second time exactly the same side of the steering frame! This is most likely a bad batch of defectively-welded steering frames. Shame on this Chinese company and shame on Amazon. The price is severely reduced for a REASON and they are trying to get rid of these! I tried calling the company directly but it was a waste of time. They have "California hours" and always have a recording explaining why they cannot answer the phone (I like the one stating that all their "employees are currently in training so they can better serve the public.")

BUYER BEWARE!!! THERE'S A REASON FOR THIS GREAT LOW PRICE! We ordered three of these scooters for our boys. But upon arrival, all three scooters were clearly damaged at the factory. No shipping damage to the boxes, but huge scratches and dents on the frames and one of the brake assemblies was completely bent and unrepairable. These damaged items have obviously be "off-loaded" by the manufacturer at a discount... beware...

Fast to assemble. Better quality than expected. Halls a large adult up hills with no problem. Holds a charge for weeks when unused. It is worth more than $400! The sale price is unreal. I bought a second one after testing for 1-1/2 months. Everybody loves to use it in my large family. It will go on grass fine. I hope this company builds a car they should have gotten the bail out money. Notice most reviews are Very Good who have the parts at set up. Us folks who got the good parts can't say enough. These do what you hope they would. 900 watts is the way to go but keep in mind careless youth can get hurt on one. They are just fast enough to get into trouble.

We purchased this scooter for our 11 year old son to use in the neighborhood. The unit was easy to assemble and get ready to ride. It has plenty of power to get up and down the hills in our area. Plus it is plenty fast. The scooter is pretty heavy, so heavy that our son needs some help if he needs to carry it up or down a set of stairs. The wheels look to be well made and the unit operates smoothly. Overall - we were very pleased.

So far so good. My fifteen y/o granddaughter is riding the heck out of it. I got it for her because I had gotten her ten y/o little brother a Razor 350 Dirt Rocket and it was just a little to small for her to ride. Oh, if your kid is a normal sized ten y/o, do not get the 350/400 Razor Dirt Rocket, get a 500/650 one.

It came the day after I ordered it - simple assembly, charged up quick, and has been great to ride. Handles hills, grass, rough ground with no problem - nice and stable, and plenty of power - this was a STEAL at $250!
