Product Description

New arrival from Europe! The superMOPI is a light-weight ride-on toy that kids as young as 18 months can ride, lift, and carry along. Builds muscles, gross motor skills, and stamina, promotes self-confidence and independence. Stands on three wide wheels so balancing is not a pre-requisite but will be developed gradually. As balancing skills develop, toddlers can speed up, race and chase each other, zigzag, and maneuver with legs in the air. Recessed back wheels make way for a comfortable, wide range of motion. Steering is an essential part of the superMOPI experience, makes it fun and challenging, and enhances kids' coordination. Riding the superMOPI is pure joy for toddlers but it also prepares them for a fast transition to a child bike without training wheels. Tiny, compact, and light, the superMOPI delights toddlers and parents alike - they will take it along wherever they go. A fun and convenient umbrella stroller alternative, promoting a healthy, active life-style from this early age. For outdoor and indoor use. Max. rider weight: 50 lbs. Safety certified. Also available in pink and turquoise. See how to ride it in superMOPI videos posted on youtube.

5.0 out of 5 stars Biggest SMILE ever seen on my 2 year old!, July 27, 2009

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.

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!

I had my doubts when I read that this "piece of plastic" was the best invention for toddlers who love ride-ons. I have twin 25 month olds. My daughter won't ride on anything and my son is loyal to his beat up hand-me-down truck that I know will "break down" any day now. He has so much fun on it, I really wanted something for my daughter. Despite the fact that they are tall (36" each and 26 & 30 lbs respectively) I ordered the smaller MOPI. I was worried my daughter would tip the bigger one and give up on it immediately. I was disappointed amazon didn't list height so I could get a better idea of which one to order. I went to the product website and got the dimensions I needed.

We received the MOPI today and as soon as my daughter saw it, she climbed on. This is not unusual - she is always willing to try something new, but is typically quick to discard it. It's been four hours and she won't get off of it. She won't even let her brother try it, so it looks like I'll be ordering another one. It is the perfect height for her (and I see growth potential) plus she has already mastered turns and gliding along the wood floors with both feet up. I cannot believe how much she loves this thing. She even wanted to bring it upstairs to go "night night" with her - a special invitation usually only extended to baby dolls and stuffed animals.

To any of you who have doubts, all I can say is this - I did BIG TIME and I'm so happy I forged ahead and bought it anyway. Even though it is light, cheap-looking and looks incredibly small when you first take it out of the box, keep in mind that looks are deceiving. It is sturdy as anything and I love that my daughter can carry it on her own or lift it up to go from wood floor to thick carpet. Definitely worth it.
