Not sure why anyone would want to limit the steering on this to begin with...especially since it's actually an added metal/rubber piece that they could have saved cost on. My tip is to get an appropriate sized allen wrench as soon as received and remove 2 bolts that hold the metal/rubber limiter bolted on. Voila, now you can steer.

My daughter is 7 and loves that this has a larger non slip platform and 2 wheels in back. So much better to me as well since I've seen the neighborhood homes that have lots of razor type scoooters laying all over the street, yards. This one stays standing and folds up nicely...although it's a bit heavier than most scooters. My daughter prefers it though since it feels more stable. Nice large front wheels don't get stuck in the sidewalk cracks either.

I got one of these Razor Carvr scooters for my wife, who isn't too comfortable on the 2-wheeled Razor A kick scooters that my three sons (8, 5, and 5 yrs. old) zoom around on. The three wheeled design looked appealing for a person who lacks neither ability or balance, but rather confidence.

I noted right away that this scooter isn't constructed of the high grade and lightweight aluminum that the other Razor scooters are made of. The Carvr is made of welded steel, so it is rather heavy, especially since it has a skateboard truck (also made of steel) in the back with a pretty cool friction brake. Even the steerer tube and handles are made of steel, though it looks like I could easily swap one of the aluminum steerer tubes and handles from one of the Razor A scooters to the Carvr easily. I suspect this scooter is made of steel to save on production cost, as nothing on this scooter screams out high quality.

Ride and handling are o.k., though I must point out that the 2-wheeled Razor A scooters are faster, and handle better. Since this Carvr will be used by an adult rider, I found the bushing on the rear truck too soft. I changed the smaller of the two bushings with a firmer bushing that I had handy. This made the Carvr easier to ride. If the Carver is leaned too much, the brake mechanism actually rubs on the rear wheels. Not something you would want to happen in a fast tight turn!!

I also removed the steering damper right away. I don't understand the purpose of this rubber bushing that resists turning of the steering at all.

It is a shame that this Carvr scooter will never see a modest to steep hill, so we won't be able to see if the scooter lives up to it's name for carving down hills. I suppose the fact that there are two skateboard wheels in back as opposed to one relatively thin scooter wheel would give this scooter better grip on the road to avoid sliding out when carving down relatively steep hills.

I got this scooter for Christmas and found it to be really easy to ride because of its skateboard base design. With its large area to stand and two wheels in the back it seems almost perfectly balanced. This is quite a fun scooter that I'd definitely recommend trying.

I have purchased two of these scooters for my son. On the first one, one of the bolts securing the brake mechanism sheared off after about 6 months and a spring fell off. Razor does not carry any replacement parts for this scooter, so it could not be repaired. I thought perhaps it was just a lemon, so I purchased a second Razor Carvr. The same thing happened to this one, again after about 6 months.

If having a brake or being able to repair this scooter if anything happens to the brake or rear wheels is important to you, do not buy.

Gave to my 5 yr old grandson for Christmas. He loves it! Even tho it is cold outside, he rides it in the basement. It is helping him in coordination and balance.

This is the best scooter. My husabnd, 5 year old and 2.5 year old all fight over whose turn it is to ride this scooter. Great durability!!

My son loved this scooter -- for about two weeks. Then one of the main screws that holds the left wheel assembly somehow worked its way out, pressing against the wheel. We took it to a bikeshop, where they were able to take off the wheel (it was on really tight!) and tighten the screw. All was well for about a week and a half, when the same screw just...fell out of the thing. Boom. That was it. Dead in the water. We're sending it back because no way should an [...]scooter just fall apart like this. D'oh!

I purchased this for my 7 year old for Christmas. There are 2 back wheels for added balance which was perfect for her which are not on other scooters based around older kids. There is also a kick brake in the back which is a very nice feature. She loves it!

HE really liked the scooter and it looked like it was very well built my daughter liked since it was one of the 3 whell type scooters and she felt it was a little more safe for her son.

I gave this scooter 4 stars instead of 5 because the only thing that needs an uprade is the pads on the handles of the scooter. They wear out really fast. Other than that, the scooter handles remarkably for my 5 year old son and we even purchased some for his classroom. All the kids love them. This one is safer because it has a big area for your feet to stand on. He rides it every day!
