3.0 out of 5 stars
Lots of fluff on the internet for this, check out the youtube videos!, June 4, 2009
Durability:3.0 out of 5 stars Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: superMOPI Toddler Motorbike Ride-on Toy - orange
I unboxed the Mopi, "Sasha" as my son calls it, and checked it out. Wonder how all that press is making out to the internet, pretty aggressive marketing costs lots of money! This thing probably costs no more than a couple bucks to be made in China. Kids love blinking lights, if nothing else, I'd love to see some red rear blinking LED's. I may modify Sasha and add some on.
The first few days were primarily spent with him sitting on it not doing much of anything else. Then he began pushing it around the house, which he loved. Finally we transitioned outside and he was riding/pushing himself around on the sidewalk. He loves it. Neighbor's driveway has a bit of a slope to it, he rides down that all the time, and figured out that he can angle his legs backwards to not have them drag on the ground. I'd say that this is the biggest selling point of this toy is that there are no pedals to impede a child's desire to coast.
It does require close supervision. The wheels in the back are very close together, there really is not much sideways stability. We've had lots of rollovers in the house (NTSB doesn't have rollover warnings on this thing!). So far our only outdoor accident has been rolling off the two steps of the patio into the grass.
Customer service is top notch and US based! My son is 32 pounds, and turns two today. We pondered getting the larger model which is only available through special order. The company got back to us within a day and suggested that we just go with the smaller unit as the big one is too big for most children.
All in all it is a nice toy that my son really enjoys. I believe it is a bit overpriced, but your children will have loads of fun with it!

Biggest SMILE ever seen on my 2 year old!, July 27, 2009
This review is from: superMOPI Toddler Motorbike Ride-on Toy - orange
So happy we bought this for our son's 2 year old birthday. He's been on it 2 days straight - around the house, and out at the park - and I've never ever seen this cool kid smile so big, for so long! He's had other ride-ons (a car and a turtle), and liked those, but he looooves this motorcyle! There is just something so "big kid" about it's style, and the fact that you can steer it is great!
He immediately got on it and zoomed around, steering properly, all over our hardwood, area rugs, and tile floors. On a regular tricycle, he hasn't mastered pedaling+steering, so could never go very fast or far without us helping and pushing (read: bent over all the time getting a sore back - lol). It was so GREAT to take him to the park and watch him fly all around on his own, up and down small hills, steering confidently and squealing with glee the whole time. He can really get it going fast (wear helmets!), and that's very thrilling for him, of course. Our tall (41 inches) 3 year old girl loves it too (even though she can ride real trikes or bike with training wheels already), but boy isn't sharing his new wheels much yet.
We were hesitant, of course, to spend 49.99 on a small plastic toy, and I do still think it should really be about a $25-35 toy, but we are thrilled with the purchase nonetheless.
Other reviewers noted it was ominously lightweight - and that is very true. When the box came, I lifted it before I opened it, and thought there must be a mistake as it almost felt empty. So hopefully, it will be durable enough for our rough-and-tumble boy for many months (at least) to come, because it's obvious he's established quite a bond with his "motorcycle." So far it is showing no signs that it will break too easily.
Came fully assembled with stickers on. Just removed from box and good to go.
Bottom line: If you have $50 to spend and a 2 - 3 year old to buy for, I will bet you will get paid back in super-big smiles. Also a great early learning step to steering a trike/bike.
