Looked at a lot of scooters before picking this one. We have a lot of hills in Devon so wanted brakes, also a few (!!) uneven pathways, so larger wheels important too. Great scooter all round, easy to assemble unless you are being badgered by a 6 year old with no patience 🙂
The materials are very solid and heavy duty, I have chosen a good company for my son birthday gift, he is very happy to see this, if company provide a star key tool in the box so it will be more satisfactory for custome
This scooter is really brilliant in any terrain. Only minus here is the back mood flap… Its really flimsy.
Item arrived with no damage or missing parts, firmly packed. Box size 100 x 48 x 14 cm. Scooter is bulky and heavy, you must realize it will make some troubles to transport it, will be difficult to accommodate it in the small sedan’s boot. It is well balanced – easy to lift it up and carry over the road border or other obstacle, just lift it up holding the steering wheel and it stays parallel to the road. Positive side (and main reason why I bought it) it has comfortable and soft ride because of inflatable tyres. Generally I am happy with it and giving 5 stars, it is our second that size scooter and I bought this type deliberately. But I want to notice few things, could be missing by ordinary customer:
1. Front wheel bearings – found overtightened so wheel wasn’t spinning free enough. Counter nut on the wheel shaft was overtightened as well, conical nut flats damaged, spanner wasn’t going in firmly. After bearings released, wheel is spinning freely, but still not smooth. I am going to check conical nut and bearings after summer season and change if necessary. Have to do the maintenance yearly anyway. Also wheel is unbalanced, have to put 15g weight to balance it up.
2. Rear wheel bearing just a bit tight, left it as it is.
3. Steering column – you have to put it in and secure with allen key. Just an advice to put some grease at the end to eliminate seized parts in the future.
4. Kickstand – There is no chance to put it on by foot, also plastic end comes off easily. And scooter is not secure on it if the surface is not absolutely straight. But the good point is it’s under the footboard so it can’t be catching by foot. But catching by bigger road imperfection as scooter wheelbase is quite long.
5. Mud guards – Some customers mentioned it catching up the wheel tyre. Really there is no problem, just bend the bracket a bit. It should be wider than 90 degrees, can do it by hand. Rear one wish to be bigger/longer. I doubt it will protect from spraying mud and dirt when passing through the paddles.
6. Forward brake wire protection sleeve – damaged, somebody just forced it through and made a hole in it. Not a big deal, but shouldn’t be like that. Brakes ok, don’t panic they are not braking straight away, give them a bit of time to line in and then adjust. 1 riding hour was enough for us, then the tension increased a bit and ok.
Was not easy to assemble even with youtube videos! Good scooter tho
Very happy with this scooter for my 9 nearly 10 year old looks very sturdy You can make the handle bars smaller for younger age maybe 5 year old plus scooter tyres came pumped up all you had to do was fit the front mud guard and front wheel easy enough to do and arrived sooner then expected and well packaged
Not happy with the front breaks, they don’t seem to fit properly needs some adjustment. Still a great buy.
Absolutely amazing. My son loves it so much. We took it for a long walk and I found that we can both fit on it. It was super super easy to assemble and theres assembly videos on youtube that I found helpful. The structure is more than sturdy and the tires are made of thick rubber that is well made. He is 5 years old and is more than capable of holding it up and riding it and the handlebars come low enough for his height. Best buy 100%
Brilliant sturdy scooter my 7 year old loves it! Would recommend!!
Great scooter, my 8 year old boy is obsessed with it. Perfect birthday present hours of fun. Highly recommend.
My son love this scooter, he’s the only one using this type and he’s proud of it.
No tools supplied to assemble it, had to take to harold to fit it and pay extra charges.
Purchased this for my 6 years old Grandsons birthday. He loves it !!! Really sturdy & he scoots everywhere on it.
Building it was easy, setting up the brakes took a bit to get right. The only real issue was the rear mudguard was a bit flimsy and has cracked. Not a major issue to be honest.
This is an amazing scooter that is as good on rough ground and grass as it is on the road – which is a real plus when you live on a dirt track.
You will need to have decent knowledge of bike maintenance to put it together or take it to someone who does, but once it is built it is fabulous.
You will need to know how to detach the breaks to attach the front wheel and also then line up the break pads and adjust the break cables. You will also need to have the right bike tools to do this and a massive spanner to attach the handle bars. Oh, and a pump for the tyres. I have neither the skill or the tools, so my bike enthusiast father-in-law did this for me.
My 7 year old loves it, especially its versatility on different terrains and the fact that it has proper bike breaks.
He has already been out several times doing jumps and treating it like a bmx.
I just need to get him to use the stand instead of flinging it on the floor!
My almost six year old loves it and hasn’t been off it. Really pleased, very well made
It is eye catching, sturdy and very trendy. Customer service was great regarding delivery. German quality. Highly recommended.
Absolutely brilliant. Couldn’t work out the breaks so took it in to a bike shop (safety first!) and they said it was very well made, very solid. My 6 year old just can’t connect with a bike, and the small scooters annoyed him on every crack in the pavement. His 2yr old brother whizzes about on his balance bike – and now they can go on all terrain together, it’s fantastic!
The 12″ Scooter arrived successfully & was well packaged.
I found the wheel assembly instructions very difficult to understand despite the fact that I have had many years experience dealing with bicycles. If anything the instructions were TOO comprehensive. I have the following points:-
1. I think that the pictures could have been larger.
2. Removal of the front brake cable was SO difficult despite the picture – this needs re-thinking!
3. In “Scope of Delivery” (strange heading) 1 x screw with washer and nut is mentioned. I could not find this anywhere until, next day, discovered it actually on the scooter! Originally I did not know what the items were for until, on reading the instructions, found that they were for fitting the chain guard. (Why on earth is it called a “chain guard” – there’s no chain on the scooter!). Maybe, when you re-label the heading to something like “Items included” you could add a note with the “1 x screw with washer and nut” to say “For fitting the chain guard” (or .mudguard” as it’s commonly known).
4. Maybe you can also help save the planet by also not including ath instructions in so many languages too!
This scooter is amazing. My 7 year old loves it. Solid scooter. Super fast delivery from Germany only took 4 days! It was dispatched the same day and I was kept up to date with delivery and even got an hours time slot on the day of delivery so I knew exactly when it was coming. Brillia
Our sensory son loves this because it hasn’t got that horrible vibration and noise like a scooter with plastic wheels. Happy mum because it has brakes. Quite a heavy scooter but very sturdy and we’ll made.
Such an swesome scooter. Got one each for bith of my biys and they love it. Very sturdy, can go over gravel and grass no problem! Definately worth the money!
My boy is 9 years old and he says that is the best scooter he ever had. Goes easily, all-terrain: sandy beach, grass, woodland rides,rocky paths. Very usefull pneumatic tyres are much better than plastic ones. I feel sorry for the forgotten Globber scooter in the garden:)
Seems well made. Not had a chance to test it ye
My lad absolutely loves this! When purchased my lad was a large 8 year old and this has been keeping him going fine for well over a year now. Well built and sturdy. Next to the Wii U this is his absolute favourite toy! Totally recommended.
Well worth the price (88) lovely well made scooter. The back mud guard can be annoying but had to laugh when the grandson thought it was the brake like on his cousins. My grandson is just over four, he is 4 foot tall with a size one shoe, and this is perfect ofr him and still allows the handle bars to be raised as he grows, so should get a few years out of this.
The build quality is awesome, easy to finishing putting together. We have had this just under a month and the grandson goes to and from school on it, uses it for the park etc… He is on it constantly. Love that it is a BMX scooter, my brothers had them and I find these better scooters than the ones with the plastic wheels.
I bought this for my 9 year old boy. He loves it! It is well made and sturdy, a proper cross btw a bike and a scooter. It has really helped him learn about balance. I’m going to order one for my 5year old daughter too.
Perfect – just what we are looking for and my 7 year old was delighted with his birthday present.
I bought this for my 10 year old son but was surprised how small it was when I received it. The build quality is good, however the rear mudguard is easily knocked out of place when scooting along. I thought this would be bigger and so slightly disappointed. Age range for the scooter needs to be more clearly defined.
Fantastic scooter. Strong, well built and robust. My six year old flies around the garden, can go over gravel easily and all sorts of rough terrain. This expands his play area considerably! Highly recommend. I don’t see why they say age 7 and over, my (somewhat short) six year old is well able for it.
Arrived 3 days earlier than expected, easy to put together and my 9 year old loves it – Brilliant!
Awesome scooter our grandson has so much fun with this
My six year old grandson loves his scooter, its robust & in his words it’s ‘cool’
Brilliant scooter, fits my 6 year old son perfectly, he finds it really easy to ride and has no problem with it at all. He doesn’t find it too heavy to use, would highly recommend this product. Delivery was super quick too.
Brilliant scooter- after 12 months of use it still looks in good condition with no rust despite being left outside.
I love it, my grandson loves it what more can you wish for. It is well made and looks lovely.
Great off road scooter for my sons 10th birthday. Easily put together by husband, took him about half hour. Service from company we bought from was brilliant.
Great quality bought one for my oldest and youngest and they love them. Very well made and solid. Do not go for the cheaper similar products afete reading numerous reviews decided on this make as our friends daughter also has one you will not be disappointed
Had a broken part when opened on xmas eve, prob due to poor package it arrives in. My 7 year old son loves it and dose turn heads as it looks fab
Fast delivery,good quality build.7year old son loves it.
as reported, sturdy solid well worth the money. all three of my grandchildren aged 12, 8 and 6 have them now. we are very pleased grandparents
My son is 12 n he got this scooter for xmas he loves i
Fantastic….great product and quality is outstanding. Packaging great. Was a bit scared as we bought 2 of these for the kids Xmas. Regular updates from the company in Germany and delivered as promised before Xmas. They have been used regular (no problems) and I would highly recommend. 5 Star plus.
Arrived within 3 days of ordering, easy to assemble and my 9 year old son is the envy of his friends.
Love it, such a sturdy scooter, my son loved it!
all clear nice and smooth, exactly the way it should be!
Cant give this 6 stars because scale does not go that far. I was a little concerned over reviews on delivery schedules. It is going to be xmas gift for g’son. Lead time I expected was 4 – 6 weeks! came in THREE DAYS, brilliant. I was able to assemble easily as I’ve a lot of bike repairs under my belt over the years. It’s well built and functions well, it even takes my weight, well had to try it even if I am a g’dad. Brought back my younger days of the 50’s. Didn’t have such posh things then, brakes and all, only soles of my shoes, lol. If you’re thinking to give as gift, go ahead, it’s sure to give hours of fun, exercise too, if he can get away from computers.
had to order from Amazon.es as amazon.co.uk would not deliver to Gibraltar even when i wanted to pay extra for delivery,still came out to 83 sent to Gibraltar arrived in 5 days from Germany.
Comes fully assembled except for the front wheel…takes 5 mins to do.
Excellent value for money scooter very solid and looks great my son will love it on Christmas morning.
Very well bulit.
Fantastic scooter. Our 9 year old loves it. He is the envy of all the other kids! Even dads have been admiring it. It has withstood adult use too
Grandson has thoroughly enjoyed this scooter, which is a go fast off roader!
I bought this for my Grandsons’s 7th birthday. I took the time to assemble it before I delivered it. I looked hard at other products but EVERY Amazon customers rated this range of products VERY highly. Despite being shipped from Germany and some reviewers believing this was good solid Bavarian engineering, it seemed obvious to me that this was of Chinese manufacture. Nothing on the boxes or the instruction documents gave any clue as to country of origin but on opening the box, the smell of mothballs was final confirmation. Although all the parts were well made and the design very sturdy, some of the parts were assembled to a standard that was usable but poor and certainly not to any German engineering standard. As I mentioned earlier I was prepared for a bit of tinkering during assembly to overcome the expected manufacturing inconsistencies and have produced a video of the assembly and the problems I encountered. As it is not a review but more of a video instruction manual it is not posted here on Amazon but as two 10 minute videos on a famous “tube” site. Look for Starbike Black Scooter Assembly Pt1 and Pt2.
Despite some issues shown in the video, I have rated the product highly because it represents excellent value for money and when assembled correctly, I judge that it will last several generations and may well become as collectable as the 1970s Raleigh Chopper bike.
Bought for my 7 year old, he loves it, can go on all terrain! Very sturdy and easy to fit together.
Great scooter, my son loves it. It’s a pity some of the bolts were missing.
I’ve bought two of these now. They are easy enough to build, and any problems the company sorts it out straight away. When built, my boys have found these a lot easier to use than the scooters with plastic wheels. They get up quite a bit of speed and move very smoothly even if the path is a bit rougher.
Brilliant scooter,well built and very stylish. My grandson loves it.
The scooter looks great and is a quality product.
Grandson well chuffed
It came well packed and delivered early
only down side the instructions where really poor but we managed ok
well made, great looking scooter. great communication, really pleased with product. six year old grandson loves it. thanks very much
