5.0 out of 5 stars Cool Toy for kids over 10 and adults who like to play with toys!, November 20, 2008

This review is from: Tyco R/C Wheelie Cycle 49 MHz (Toy)

This is a VERY cool toy! I bought it for my 6 year old son and there is no way he's going to be able to use it until he's at least 10! I get to play with it until then!

Things to consider when buying this toy:

Do I have the space to use it?
This is definetly a parking lot toy. You need a lot of space to be able to let it go as fast as it can and still be able to maneuver it. You will not be playing with it Christmas morning unless you live somewhere warm with a big parking lot!

How old is your child?
This toy would be suitable for young teenagers. They market it to littler kids, but it is really best for kids over 10. This would also be a cool toy to buy your dad (or other male adult). I might give it to my dad and buy my son another easier to use model.

This review is from: Tyco R/C Wheelie Cycle 49 MHz (Toy)

This is a great product almost too good. I purchased this for my son's 8th birthday and he finds it too fast and difficult to use. At first that was a bit disappointing but the good news is that it is a quality toy so I'm sure he will enjoy it more in the future.

I am not sure how many of these people wrote the review after the first couple of times they used it. WE used ours maybe 1o times and went through a couple battery charges befor it stopped working. WE were able to return it to the store that we purchased it at right before our 90 days was up. But keep in mind Amazon has only a 30 day return policy.

I would have given this a 5 star if it hadn't stopped working so soon. It is nice sized. Really fast. EAsy for one person to get started. STays balanced very nicely, even while turning. Bounces over short grass and little bumps very nicely. Does a good job on a wheelie.

You need a lot of room for this. Will not work in your house unless you live in a mansion or are planning on driving it around in hallways in a large apartment. Would need an acre yard or so. or a street out of the way of traffic. Will run on gravel, but not as easily.

Great concept, wished it hadn't broke. Ours would just stay running as soon as you hit the on button as if you had the remote cranked on for it to go.

Battery charged easily and had good run time.
