My daughter is eleven, and this scooter fits her now, but it won't in a few months, as the handlebars do not adjust (c'mon Razor! Why not?). She is in love with this thing, and I find it so fun myself that I went ahead and bought myself a Trikke scooter in my own size. I anticipate this PowerWing being passed to a younger cousin before the school term is up, but for now it is a favorite item. My daughter is having a blast.

Warning: This takes some practice. But once kids get going, it's quite fast, and if you live around hills, please make sure your kids have helmets and pads on, as accidents are common. Turning needs to be done carefully!

We bought this scooter on sale. At its regular price, I would complain mightily about the lack of adjustable handlebars, which they really should have, and about a general lack of sturdiness. Smaller kids probably won't stress this so much, but bigger kids will easily bust this thing up in no time. The "wings" where the feet rest are made of plastic, and the caster wheels are tiny. One feels the bumps and other irregularities on sidewalks and street quite fiercely.

For a mere $20 to $40 more, depending on what one pays for this thing, one can get the smallest 5-inch wheel Trikke, which is quite similar in terms of how it works, and the Trikkes are very sturdy, very well made little machines. For kids such as my daughter there are Trikkes that cost around twice as much (their middle school and high school model with six-inch poly wheels) that seem much sturdier and safer than the PowerWing.

Not every kid takes to this type of scooter. It requires a fair amount of sustained practice and effort. The kids who will love it and use it likely will outgrow it and want to move on to a Trikke or a similar model.

I bought this for my 9-year-old son for Christmas. He loves his straight Razor and rides it a lot, so I thought a change-up would be fun. He does like it, but wishes it were faster. I am a pro-roller skater, so I gave it a try for myself. It is just down-right slow. Also, it was smaller in scale than I expected. The front wheel is really small and making turns practically throws you off balance immediately and leaning into turns doesn't do anything, it's all about steering the front wheel. It is basically for straight sailing and not for speed, but fun. I'd recommend for kids between 5 and 8 years old and kids who are not accustomed to riding faster Razors or intermediate skateboarders.

Bought this for my kids, but I'm enjoying it just as much as they are! I was concerned that it might be a little complicated to master the movements and would cause frustration, but my 6 yr old daughter had it down and was loving it within 30 minutes! Only thing to be careful of is if gets out of control, the front wheel can pop up on you. I'd advise leaving the wheelie bars on the scooter to prevent this. It's a blast!

I purchased this scooter for my 12 yr. old boy, he seemed very excited about it, but its small design would be best suited for younger kids.

I bought this for my 6 year old nephew. He was thrilled and was able to master it very quickly. It appears to be very sturdy and well built.

I have 4 kids ranging from 4-13. All the kids including my husband and myself love the powerwing. It is easy to ride and fun to turn in circles. The kids have ridden it for hours and now they all want one for themselves.

Can't count the number of times neighbors and friends have asked us where we picked up this scooter. While most kids in our area are tooling around on their typical Razor scooters looking down at the ground, my daughter is riding with her head high proud as can be of this unique beauty. It rides like a scooter with the movements of a rip stick. Awesome!

4 YEAR OLD GRANDCHILD RECEIVED IT ON CHRISTMAS AND WITHIN 10 MINUTES WAS OPERATING IT LIKE A PRO. HE LOVES IT AND KEEPS HIM ACTIVE AND AWAY FROM VIDEO/TV. ADULTS TRIED IT THE NIGHT BEFORE AND WERE EXCITED ABOUT IT ALSO

My 7 year old son got this for Christmas and within about 10 minutes he was doing wheelies and 360s. He loves it!

My 4.5 year old got one too, and it is a little harder for him because he isn't as tall. But he did pick up on the swaying side to side to get it moving.

It was easy to put together, took about 10-15 minutes. I would recommend this toy to anyone.
