Got 2 of them for 10 years old and 5 years old. One with nob and another with the regular handle bar. Kids love them! It rides soooo smoothly and very safe with 2 wheels on the front. It is lightweight and does not bother me carrying it at all. Very well made. Well, for the price, it should be! We have other scooter that is very common, now I think, what was that all about? The common one is heavier, does not stand up when not in use, when you fall, you normally fall on the edge of the scooter, which hurts on the shin, etc. This Maxi Kick Scooter is light, stand up when not in use, super smooth and fast, yet safe! We actually got one more Mini for 2 years old and she is riding it like a pro already. It is such a fun riding toy that it is worth the price!
