The old ones would have, but these new ones are made too junky. All of the joints were very weak.

I would probably just get a rock or log. This is an OK chock, but is plastic and obviously won't work well on a large vehicle (1 Ton or larger). Also not sure how well it would grip on the dirt.

Yes, it is good for both paved and dirt roads. The tires have a good tread pattern, and the bike has good shocks to help absorb the bumps of a rough road. I do not do any hardcore trail riding, so I cannot testify to any further details of how it performs off-road. I have taken it off pavement though, over some slightly rougher terrain and through thick grass, and it handled it well. It does have a kickstand.

No. It will drive ok on flat parts of your yard but will not have enough traction for any kind of incline. This was stil the case after I added rubber traction bands to the back wheels.

Hi, no problems. everything is fine. It has a good ligth but not as good as the over $1,000 better quality ones. but performs great for my use in offroad.

I would mostly use it on flat surfaces. I've tried to take it on rougher terrains and it shakes and rattles and is very bouncy. Doesn't do very well on dirt roads.

My niece has use hers outside on lawns, at beach, and in wagon. I would recommend flat areas with no rocks etc.

We got one for Christmas for our kids My 8 year old can ride it but his knees are almost to the handle bars so he won't be on it for much longer. Plus it wears te battery down quicker when he rides it. We are going to go with a gas powered one for him next time, my 6 year old twins have a ball though. Oh and my 8 year old is small for his age.

I actually had a cookout today and kids were all over the place with this scooter. I have a dirt driveway and it is excellent, used to have one with the small hard tires and I considered it useless here. On grass goes ok but nothing is going to roll the same on soft grass compared to hard dirt.

my sons has been outside for 2 weeks now. seems fine so far. But assembly is more of an issue & the wobbliness of the entire thing. I wouldn't buy it again BUT my son does love it & its safe enough with constant supervision. I'll have a more accurate answer on weather in a month or so

I, wont take mine on the highway. Wont even plate it. I am not a qualified mechanic/trailer builder. I just use mine on the ranch, hauling tools and whatnot. Maybe if you are confident in your building skills it would be ok. To me it seems a bit small to pull down the road behind a pick up or car. Wheels are too small for me, also i dont think it has enough weight to keep it stable. For the road, and for safety, if it were me, i'd get something bigger. Just one mans opinion.

I guess that depends on what you mean by offroad. On compacted dirt I think it would do okay, probably not so good on gravel or sand or loose dirt.

When my son was 8 he easily could ride my rockboard scooter. But with anything new it takes practice. I would advise if you get one to make sure to keep all the screws and bolts tight. they tend to loosen when used a lot. Not very good for a place with a lot of hills.

Yes the smaller front wheel should be off the ground. You need a flat, smooth surface to ride. My daughter can go pretty fast on our hard wood floors. We have a foot of snow outside so she has not gone outside with it yet. Hope that helped.

My grandson has only ridden it in his large basement and garage, he doesn't live on a kid friendly street, I think if it was smooth pavement it would work well.

Our child can ride it on dirt or in the grass and it will still work... not that we encourage riding on lawn. But it us more versatile than small wheels.

I would say yes, it is a good quality for the price. I have a 10 year old son that drives it and he is a bit rough on it in my opinion, but it has held up well. I feel probably an older kid or an adult would probably take bettercare on it. Ours is used a majority of the time outside in the neighborhood and like I said it has held up well considering the abuse it's been through.
