I got this toy for my nine-year-old daughter for Christmas. She was very excited and started putting it together right away. She started having trouble almost immediately because the screws wouldn't go in. I tried using our own screwdriver because the screws were getting stripped, but to no avail. She tried to go on to the other steps but the directions were very poor and she accidentally pulled the wires out and started crying in frustration. We tried hot gluing it back together and finally did get it put together somewhat, but it barely moved. Total piece of junk. I am going to call the company and try to get my money back since from what I've read all the models are just as bad.

The Discover Kids Biped EZ has too many badly designed elements. You need to take care to hold certain pieces in place while putting them together otherwise they will break. The included screwdriver, while a nice item to get you started, simply isn't good enough for the job; you'll need a screwdriver that will give you much better traction and leverage otherwise you'll end up threading the screws. The instructions fail to mention the step of screwing the motor piece to the backplate. The remote itself does not work at all. Adult supervision and help WILL be a requirement with this kit.

BTW, the only reason I have this is because it was on clearance for less than five at a local drugstore and even at that price, I felt it was a ripoff. It should not be bought, PERIOD.

This is a horribly designed toy. The screws are extremely hard to turn into their sockets. Neither of my children were able to construct them by themselves. The screws strip easily and the instructions skip important steps.
