I enjoyed fast service and mint condition of product when it arrived. Product itself was not as described. Sparks were not as awesome as I thought they should be and the cartridges were used up faster than I expected. Also you can get a 2pk at Target for $10 and online the price is $20 plus shipping.
I like the scooter itself, the wheels seem more efficient with smoother ride than other scooters I have tried, but I don't think the "Sparks" aspect was really worth the $20 more I paid for it.

I purchased this for my grandson because he seemed to be excited about the TV commercial. Flames high behind the kid. I helped him put it together and we went out to see for ourselves. Wow, what a disappointment. He could have drug a chain behind him and achieved the same result. He played on it for less than 20 minutes and came in to tell me the "sparks" were gone. Sure enough, no sparks and time to change the sparkler box. I called about this and was told that if you use the brakes, the box will wear down quickly. Ahh, within 20 minutes? No, this was unacceptable. I sent it back and purchased a regular Razor scooter from a local dealer at a much lower price and no sparkler replacement to be purchased. My issue is not with the scooter itself just the ripoff gimmick of the sparks. The scooter is great and my grandson enjoys it a lot. I am saying--don't waste your money on the sparkler part. I notice there are no more ads for it lately. Does that say it for me?

My son was so excited about getting the razor sparks scooter. The first days he got it, he was going down a slight incline and pushing down on the sparks when it broke off one side causing him to go out of control and crash. He was badly scraped on both arms and face. Luckily no broken bones. I called Razor customer service and sent them pictures of how the sparks mechanism broke. They said that the Razor scooter is NOT to be ridden down inclines. It is supposed to be ridden on flat ground only. They also said that the sparks "toy" is not supposed to be held down for long periods of time because it will break. My son still wants the scooter and Razor is sending replacement sparks, but I am not impressed with this product.

The scooter itself is great. It is easy to put together, folds up nicely, and feels very solid. The only real problem is that you don't get the same kind of sparks as you see on television, and I would have been better off tying some sparklers to it while my son was riding on it. I would have saved a lot of money and replacements would have been cheap and easy to find. The sparks that come out are very weak, which was a real disappointment for my son. Hopefully this was a lesson for him not to believe what he sees on television commercials. I suppose if he were riding down hill on a really rough roadway and he put all of his weight down, he MIGHT be able to get some decent sparks. The problem is that putting that kind of pressure on the scooter would seriously unbalance the rider and create an safe situation. Also, I don't know how stable this would be going down a really steep hill, again, possibly creating an unsafe situation. Of course, I wouldn't recommend tying sparklers to it either (I was being a bit sarcastic). It's really too bad, because this would be a great idea for kids. I would save your money and buy a regular Razor scooter.

My son loves the scooter. He understands the sparks don't last forever and is glad to know that we can order more. The one thing we did not like was the additional bolt covers. They were hard to put on and one completely ripped off taking the underlying sticker off. This was upsetting to my son because it looks very messy for a brand new scooter. I would recommend just leaving those covers off.

My biggest concern is that if you turn while sparking, the back of the scooter slides out uncontrolably and the child wipes out badly and of course falls to the ground. I can't belive there isn't a warning about this? A clear design flaw. The kids all love the sparking action, but the epensive spark cartridge was used up in less than half an hour. The base is rolled over sheet matal instead of an extruded aluminum piece

Overall great product. The only problem is the sparking mechanism gets in the way of the brake. It can be a little confusing for the younger riders at first.

Bought this as a gift for my 5 year old grandson...His friends all gathered around him asking for a try at it... he was a big hit... he loves the scooter.... glad I made this purchase and recommend grandparents buy it for grands birthday, etc... they will love you forever!!!!!

My son loves the sparks feature of this scooter. It adds to the fun of riding it. Just caution the user not to use it in the house if you don't want to get on your knees and scrub the streaks it makes!

we got this for my son on christmas. he LOVES it! it works/sparks very nicely. it's extra fun to use at night.
