Has anyone have a problem with this scooter stopping? Mine rolls 6" to 12". Makes me uncomfortable. No brake, like stores. Stores stops.

My wife has had 3 scooters and they all stop the same, yes they roll slightly when you let go of throttle. Store scooters are slightly different in that they don't go as fast and are primarily for indoor youse

Scooters like this do not have brakes. They roll to a stop so you have to consider that when driving and release the throttle or slow down earlier. Bill Keene 954-421-3169 Boca Home Medical

My scooter stops immediately when I release the accelerator lever and will not move unless the lever in the back is shifted.

Didn't have that problem, Lilo but might you look at all 4 wheels to make sure that they are installed with the bars on the inside of the wheel and the safety bar is not being engaged when you try to close it. I'll look at mine tomorrow and see if I can give you any other suggestions.

My kids are 5 and 8. I have had to adjust mine a few times to get the right balance of fun and safety. In addition to a more gradual slope, I put a little extra slack in the line which also slows them down. I just ordered the brake from Slackers for 29.99. I did not see it here on Amazon.

The cart does not have a brake per se, but the electric motor does provide a slowing effect like when you take your foot off the gas in a car. I have not had any problem with a runaway sensation with my cart.

Should stop. Mine does. Only thing I don't like is no height adjustment and vibration

Try tightening the head (the 3 hex nuts under the handle bars). If you are scooter "savvy" then you will be able to get it dialed. I have this same exact scooter and I had that problem. So what I did is I went through my entire scooter and tightened the everything to the appropriate length. Also tighten the head with a adjustable wrench. Pick one up at the hardware store. Hope you get your scooter dialed!!Thanks,W. Shows

I'm wondering about this as well...seems like it would have this issue. I just got one but am concerned about using it until my 4 month old can roll in all directions and right himself if need be.

My son was much too large for it at 6, towards the upper end of the weight limit the scooter will want to flip forward if you hit a crack on the sidewalk or similar. This is a scooter for little kids, not really for when they get more mobile, the larger scooters are less likely to flip forward. The issue with this one is the extra stability in the front causes kids to put all their weight up front making it want to tip forward.

I tried to install on my Trek Wahoo, 29" tires, with disk brakes. Didn't work. The issue is the disk brake prevents the trailer attachment from inserting all they way. I had to use my road bike instead.

I bought one in Sept 2013. Coaster broke, they sent new ones....now the gas lift if no good. Waiting on their response. Does anyone know what size replacement could be used in this chair. Love it if it would stop breaking:)

Problem.... I spoke too soon. Used mine again this weekend and it definitely does slip. Sorry for the bad news update. It is possible to slip it back, just takes a little messing around with it. Too bad they don't fix that problem, seems like it wouldn't be difficult, and then the product would be awesome.

This design leaves the toddler's feet hanging, however there is no danger of being caught, even if his feet hit the pedals,they will stop while the wheel still is rolling. There is another model we saw it at walmart - just type walmart and item 551505579, you will see that it has a plastic support for both feet (does not seem to be helpful and the tires are made of annoying,noise plastic when used on hard surfaces.

This a great little scooter. It has a great turning radius, unlike some of the others. It's is rather small tho, but my father who is 6 ft fit on it ok, but he is not heavy. An overweight person may have more trouble. The person using it does have to have the ability to climb onto it and climb off. This was a problem for my dad. We ended up returning it for that reason, and also my father has dementia and couldn't figure out how to drive it, although it is really simple to drive. There is just one control. You push it forward and the scooter goes forward. You pull it back and the scooter backs up. You let go and the scooter stops. Hope this helps. This a great little scooter.

I have not had any issue with mine...totally love it but check to see that the brake is not grabbing on that side, or that the under basket is not rubbing against the wheel

I, too, am 5'5" & find this model perfect. I does take some maneuvering inside but passes over rugs and thresholds easily compared to stand up walker. It truly is all terrain as I've been in grass, gravel, streets without problem. However, watch and tighten the bottom screw between the front wheel cables as it loosens & could easily be lost. We also had to adjust brakes substantially. Brake shouldn't be counted on to stop you! I covered black pad with lambswool (the real stuff from Ocean State Job Lots as a floor buffer mat @$5) as knee can get sore and sun absorbs blistering heat. Love that this size is substantially cheaper than next size up, too I, too, am 5'5" & find this model perfect.

The scooter is really small and honestly, unless the child is zooming down a hill, brakes really aren't needed. My son never goes fast enough on it to need brakes.
