Kent Super Scooter Review

Kent Super Scooter
The shipping was very fast and just in time for Christmas. We had it delivered to our neighbor’s house for fear of it being delivered in a box that our son / daughter would see a huge picture of it plastered on the side of box. No worries, it didn’t have a big pic anyway and only showed a color photo of it on the side of the box so it wasn’t so obvious. I bought this for our now 5.5 year old son (and one that will be used later for our now 4.25 year old daughte). Actual set up was not that difficult but I am a bit more handy than most and had to resort to some of my big boy wrenches and locking pliers. The rear brake assembly was a bit faulty with a sticking arm that I need to oil again because even after several attempts to get it to free itself after squeezing brake it still wants to rub the wheel. The overall construction and tire size is awesome and very very sturdy! I chose these because the little scooters with little tires look like a flip over just waiting for our little ones to hit a rock or similar hard object. Not trying to send the little ones to the emergency room soon so we are pleased with the sturdiness and the larger tires. My son has ridden it in the basement and has caught on to squeezing the brakes on the handle bars. He has no issues riding it and seems to really like it. He is still making his rounds with all the toys he got for Xmas but as soon as spring comes (we live in Chicago land) he will then get to experiment more with it and I can give an update on how well it works for him. I give 5 starts but I think the issues I had with the brakes were too much and if I didn’t have a little extra fix it know how I would have been p*****d about it and gave up on it. Compared with other smaller wheel scooters this one is tops!! Well worth the money I spent. Less than [...] bucks with shipping.
