It says this kart is for up to 120 lbs. I was wondering if that was accurate. Basically, would it work for a 12 or 13 year old?

Weight would hold! I am 135 and it goes with me in it! My hubby even rode it at 200lb. It is slower with him in it! With that said we bought it for our 6 year old. I would assume it may be juvenile for much older than 9-10? They will for sure be long for it! Meaning that their legs will be very bent!

I bought this for my 10 year old. It only holds a charge for maybe 15 minutes. It does not go like they discribed at all. 300$ piece of garbage.

It will move, but prob not 10mph! It carries both my husband and I 135 and 200lb but not as fast as it carries our 6 year old 50 lb! 12-13 years old may be too big for this just because of length! They will be very bent in it! Probably a little juvenile for kids that old

We have had up to a 13 year old girl run the course. I allow up to 4 kids at a time and haven't had any problems! This was a mixture of ages 4-12. Great house!

My son is now nearly 9. He's 85 pounds and 4'8 tall. He still loves his go-glider, but I anticipate he will grow out of it this year. I teach 7th graders, so am cognizant of their size; I think it would be too small for a typical 12 year old. Hope that helps!

This was a present for my 12 year old grandson in Switzerland. he certainly does not weigh 120 pounds but I saw him play with it and it looked pretty strong. As far as i know it is still alive and going strong....

My wife is 125lbs and she uses it but I'd say that's the max. My kids are 9 and 11 and they LOVE it! Older Teens might find them boring. Hope that helps.

No issue at all. My daughter was 70lbs and could still ride it (yet a little slower due to the increased weight). I was surprised it still could run. It rides extremely well on wood floors if you want to go longer distances.

I don't think there was any age recommendations, just weight limits. I my self wouldn't buy them for anyone less than 14 or so because it takes a certain amount of weight and coordination to use them as well as good sense to be safe (relatively anyway). I think weight limit was 165 lbs. My 16 year old uses them and she is about 125lbs.

No. This is for kids/teens UNDER 115lbs according to paperwork we got when I bought it. Its awesome skooter tho!

It would definitely work for him! My oldest is over 60lbs and it works well for him. (In fact..I can jump on it at 115lbs without a problem!) It's fun...even for me!

I don't know the answer to your question regarding height and weight. My feeling is that the speed is too slow for a 5 year old to really enjoy the ride. I think a 5 year old is ready for a two speed Power Wheel ride. Just my opinion.

Sorry for the delay getting back to you, I don't go on the email address daily. The book says 120 lbs. I will tell you our eight year old grandson was a little concerned about riding this scooter when he got it for Christmas last year. About a week after opening it, he was at Grandma and Grandpa's house again. He took off on it and never looked back. He loves it, and rides it quite often. Great buy and quality.

Absolutely! Ours was bought for my 11 year old and he's 150lbs it works great!! He's had it since Christmas. We have had to replace the tubes that we're busted when we opened the box but they were $8 each.

My grandson is right at 100lbs and rides it ALL the time. My daughter was riding it and she is around 150 and it never hesitated. Hope this helps

Hi Anne. We got this for our granddaughter - 6 years old. It turned out her older brother - 9, enjoyed it more than her. I do think 12 might be a bit "old" for it. Plus, as already commented the quality is not the best. The big thing seems to be scooters. I think they have made a comeback. Hope this helps.

My grandson was 3 (now 4) and rides it all the time without problems. I don't think age is a factor if they learn how to use the controls, it weight.

My 12 year old daughter could jump with it. It actually takes practice with the kids knowing how to use their weight (muscle memory). She is 85 lbs.
