Bought for my sons 10th birthday, he loves it, needed a little help putting handle bars on and sorting breaks. Its not too heavy easy for him to handle and thats with his arthritis. His older brother and sister (15/16) like it too and good enough for their weight.
My only gripe would be that the stunt pegs are only suitable for the front wheel. Putting the second set of pegs on the back wheel is not suitable because your ankle will knock the peg when pushing the scooter.
I bought this for myself so that I can keep up with my 2 daughters (13 and 9) as the wanted to do some off-roading. Bikes won’t fit in the car but these do. Well built and sturdy.
This scooter is a beast! It’s sturdy and built to last. The pneumatic tyres make it a comfortable ride for my 9year old. More work is required to scoot with it being heavier than a little micro scooter but I don’t think it’s too bad – yes, of course I’ve had a go too!
Like other reviews have mentioned, it’s best to keep the stunt pegs off the back wheel whilst scooting because it’s very easy to clip your ankle (and they reaaaally hurt!). Easy enough to screw on and off though.
I had a few issues building this so had to get some help from my dad. The instructions aren’t the clearest but I’m sure there would be YouTube tutorials about setting up bike wheels/brakes that would help.
I had a few issues with my original item but the customer service I received from MHStar was fantastic and I now have a replacement scooter that it brilliant.
Bought this scooter for my 11 year old Granddaughter I would not buy it for somebody younger, its her age upwards and adults. The scooter is easy to assemble I done it in 45 minutes there is nothing cheap about it its a good sturdy piece of equipment and a great looking machine it has a side stand and the brakes are very good I may take it back and use it myself. To sum up great scooter good price good quality and delivered on time what more could you want.
This has been bought as a Christmas present so difficult to fully review until it is used by the recipient.
It comes part assembled but I put it together before placing it into a special Bike present bag so that it can be used immediately by my grandson.
The self-assembly was relatively easy but the brake cables are a little tricky to adjust but no real problem for anyone with past experience of messing about with bikes combined with a little patience.
The scooter came well packed, a great price and fast delivery.
The single thing about this scooter is that it comes with a set of spanners to assemble it is good see this much attention given to a product and well made everything just pushes together and tighten up the bolts great item thanks
The scooters are fairly easy to assemble. Except for the breaks. But even they went to bed. Had to make a String clamp to hold them together. While tightening at the nuts. I Will not know how good they are until my Grand children start using them after Christmas That but look sturdy enough. I’ll tell you about Value for money if in 6 months the children are still enjoying them.
absolutely banging scooter my son is 7 but his like a giant so tall and built people think his 13. ive struggled in buying stuff as he just grows however this was a brill buy sturdy not for lil people as very heavy. but its perfect for teens and adults very good buy.
Only negative is there is no way of folding it down to fit in the car but we’ll stick a rope out the window lol and it took a while to assemble the brakes.
Love this scooter for adults & children alike! The big wheel mean it goes well on grass & is more comfortable to ride than the small wheeled version.
Not too difficult to assemble.
My son loves this scooter. It takes a bit of leg power and doesn’t roll very far which is something you would expect it to do, But it stands up to a bit of abuse from my son. We did leave the trick nuts off as there would’ve been a lot of bashed ankles. We bought the adult size.
Absolutely amazing, I can even Ride with my son who’s 8 and the sturdiness even with excess weight, definitely a great Scooter and even greater customer service 🙂 would recommend i
We purchased two of these so that the wife and I can use them for outings with the kids. Didn’t expect too much considering the low price tag, but when they arrived we were super impressed!!
The scooters feel really solid and well made and even the brakes, despite the plastic levers, work surprisingly well.
If you have any bike maintenance experience, these are actually really easy to assemble, so don’t be put off by any reviews saying otherwise.
Overall were super happy with these scooters and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them….
Just to add, I’m around 6ft tall and and with the right adjustment don’t have any problem with the height of the bars. However, if you do want them a bit taller, any bike shop could sort you out with a longer stem.
We have bought this for a Xmas pressie for our grandson. I’m sure he will be delighted with it. My husband easily put it together to make sure everything ok. Very happy with purchase.
My daughter 10th birthday, she is over the moon with it down side is the back stunt pegs are in the way when you try to scooter, she has gained a few bruises so had to remove them, it hasn’t bothered her though…. so yes all in all a great buy and she is happy
I’ve had my scooter around a month and I use it most days. It performs perfectly as I need it to, it looks cool, it’s comfortable and easy to ride and therefore provides me with better exercise than walking without me really committing to going out for exercise.
My husband bought a scooter too after trying mine (different brand, different seller) which broken within days so he’s replacing it with one of these. My 5 year old also has a smaller different model from this brand which he loves.
Assembly wasn’t overly complicated… Or so I thought… I am someone who’s never even dealt with a punctured tyre before, no experience with bikes or anything. So I put it together out of the box, felt rather confident, used it fearlessly for a few days, and then I experienced a few issues. I asked my husband to have a look at it and it turns out I’d set everything up wrong, so the brakes didn’t work right and the steering felt wobbly. WHOOPS! Anyway, after getting some help with it and learning a few things, it’s all good now. It shouldn’t be a problem if you have even very very basic experience with bikes or similar things.
If you’ve never tried a scooter before and you’re on the fence I really do recommend it! I gave up sports when I was pregnant and have been stuck in a rut for so long. This is exactly the kind of fun toy I needed to get me off the couch. I’m enjoying this summer SO MUCH since I got it, a scooter just adds fun to silly daily things like picking up milk and equally becomes an activity in itself if you find a cool location to explore. And it’s great for family time, you can easily take them around parks and greenways and such and it is just such wholesome outdoors fun.
I’ve added a wicker basket to the front and handlebar streamers and spoke clips now, and replaced the sticker which says “scooter” on the frame with some cute vinyl stickers I bought online so it really feels unique. I’m honestly like a kid again! I’ve been showing it off toy friends, and getting compliments non stop. The woman who runs my local garden centre asked for a go of it the other day and immediately decided she wanted a scooter too!
Sorry, I know this has been kind of a gushing review but honestly, I just REALLY LOVE the product. I swear I’m neither an advertiser nor a lunatic
Bonus: I love how tiny a scooter is compared to a bicycle, it’s so easy to find a tiny spot to lock it up if I’m in the shop etc!
The only negative thing I will say is there’s a little bit of flexibility in the frame, which makes the pegs basically useless because if you put the weight of your (let’s just say left) foot onto the peg while your right foot is on the deck, things feel a little misaligned. It’s something extremely minor which causes no problem while riding normally, unless the pegs are one of your main reasons for buying. Personally, I prefer it without them anyway.
Product admirably met requirements for an adult scooter. But more importantly when we had some problems with the product the supplier handled these in a courteous and professional manner which minimised the time it was off the road.
Very pleased.
Great scooter bought for sons tenth birthday as we have a caravan where there are rough paths, this scooter is perfect for there and will hopefully last years to come.
No. 1 rule of parenting – don’t let them have all the fun.
The reviews don’t really do this justice (for the price). It seems many didn’t properly understand what they were buying. This is essentially a stretched BMX reasonably sized for a teenager or small adult (I am a large adult and it works ok for me – though some observations later).
Notes:
1. This is effectively a bike without pedals, as such it needs the sort of level of setup and adjustment that a proper bicycle does. In particular you may have to look up how to correctly setup “side pull” brakes. I found a decent tutorial on Youtube easily enough.
2. The weight limit is likely down to the tyres as tyres rated for higher weights would add considerably to the price – I may upgrade them at some point.
3. In general it is well made and the brakes work ok once correctly set up – though of course at this price the components are fairly cheap.
4. It is long and fairly heavy – don’t buy this for a kid in primary school and expect them to glide about effortlessly.
5. Watch the pegs on the back don’t catch your ankle as you scoot.
6. The handlebar grips are a little small for large adult male hands – they are usable but I will likely change them.
7. The max height of the handlebars is ok for me at 6’2 but would be nice 10cm longer. Most people should be fine.
8. It comes with a reasonable selection of tools but you will likely also need an allen key set, a decent adjustable spanner, and a socket set would make adjusting the breaks easier.
9. It is heavier to push and loses momentum faster than kids scooters, this makes it harder work. That said it retains grip in the damp and stops better than kids scooters. I had to increase the tyre pressure higher than I would like in order to reduce the rolling resistance, may have to replace the tyres with stronger / higher pressure ones at some point.
11. The stand is simple but seems well positioned and works well.
Bought 2 for my children, I managed to assemble them myself following the instructions which were very easy to understand.

My son loves this, was a great buy for his birthday. Can not fault the item.
Not hard to assemble, great quality. My son loves it. Exactly as advertised.

I bought this for my ten year old who is big for his age, great size and very sturdy.
Really unique scooter my son who got it for his 9th birthday loved it. However it is much bigger than I realised and doesn’t fit in the car easily

It is sturdy and looks great, prob too heavy for a child but for an adult it takes too much effort to keep it moving
