Got this scooter for a ten year old who has developed a resistance to learning to ride a bicycle. We have tried for years to teach him to no avail. He can do pretty much anything else; plays soccer, baseball and basketball well. He simply has developed a fear of the bicycle and refuses to try. We hoped that the scooter would help and Kent Super Scooter has! He took right off on it after a few tries and can now balance himself for several hundred feet until he runs out of downhill road!He loves the scooter, and Dad(me)does too! It was relatively easy to assemble, although I did need an extra pair of hands to get the brakes adjusted properly. Assembly time was under 10 minutes. The scooter has a strong frame like a bicycle and all the hardware to match. I would rate the quality equivalent to a Huffy or Murray bicycle that you would get for a kid this age. I expect that it will last until long after the first son has outgrown it and the second son will use it also. I ordered this item for my son for Christmas and found it fairly easy to put together (always a plus!). The brakes gave me some difficulty until I figured them out but other than that it was easier than other toys I’ve had to assemble. My son hasn’t used it much yet (we live in northern PA and it’s a little cold out to be riding a scooter around) but he’s tried it out and is very comfortable with the way it handles. It appears to be a solidly built scooter and doesn’t look as if it will break easily (another plus when you’re talking about a scooter bought for a 12 year old boy!). All in all, I would recommend this scooter to anyone looking for something to ride off-road (the bike tires are the main reason I went with this model instead of one of the Razor scooters — Razors may be nice but they don’t work well on gravel and dirt roads).
