If you turn your skates over, and spin the wheels, do they all spin freely? Ours barely spin. And when she's skating we can see they don't all turn.

Yes, the wheels do spin freely on the 2 pairs that I purchased. In the beginning they were a little tight (small spin) but over time (about 3 weeks of daily skating) they loosened up.

Ours soon fine. It must be an issue with yours. Inwoild contact them. Based on other posts, it seems the company is helpful.

Yes she does. I ordered her another set for the skating rink. She is learning.

They wheels are suppose to rotate a little. That said, double check that you followed the instructions EXACTLY. We thought we had until on closer observation of the last page we realized that the wheels should not extend over the front. We had put the wheels on backwards! FYI - that mistake is nearly impossible to correct after the wheels are on.

I don't know if the model has been changed in that regard (I doubt it) but my wheels are grounded when I lift the deck. The treadmill moves very easily backwards or forwards and requires some twisting if if you need to *turn* as the wheels are straight.

The wheels on the sides do not turn but the little ones on each end can be turned. I just love mine.

I'm not sure, but my daughter has been skating indoors and outdoors almost daily since she got these for Christmas.

I will second the break-in period comment. If you spin the wheels by hand when you first put them on, they will seem quite slow. go out a couple times on them, they will "loosen up" just slightly, then they'll spin like.... your GF in spin class (if she's a spinner). Also, bearings when cold will always spin slower than the same bearings when warmed up, just like a car's greased parts --the grease gets less viscous as the engine warms.

No the wheels do not light up. However, they are really great skates for the price.

the beyblade in the stadium is fake because you cant not take it apart. well that's how I see it in my eyes since the fact that you can take other beyblades apart but it can change height by adjusting the track to make it higher or shorter. also the beyblade stays in the middle of the stadium because it has a magnet in the tip and in the rotating part of the stadium so it can spin forever. does this help you out a bit?

No... the pedals do not free wheel. The pedals and drive wheel are always engaged.

Yes, the wheels turn. Steering a bit tight, but am sure that will loosen up a bit with use.

We just recently purchased one and it also ticked. I took it apart and put the wheel on the opposite way. Even though the sticker clearly said the other opposite. It doesn't click, but the pedals won't stop moving. If it's not one thing, it's another.

It is normal to have a little increased resistance compared to a normal wheel. You should still be able to ride it, but it will feel very slow. If the wheel doesn't turn at all, then it is either defective or installed wrong.

I had no trouble with them not spinning. They spin pretty well but a few of them seemed loose & slipped off the metal shaft causing me to hit myself in my chin a few times.

It doesn't just spin. Its that "ratchety" turn, like each turn clicks into s gear, but it doesn't audibly click. Hope that helped.

Over last summer, my 5 year old daughter did pretty well using these on sidewalks. However, because roller skates have front and back side-by-side wheels, they go "bump, bump" as the front two wheels, then the back two wheels, hit the sidewalk joints. (Unless your timing is good enough to step over the joints.) Roller blades, on the other hand, have all of their wheels in line. That means that only one wheel hits the joint at one time, and the other wheels are all "on the flat". That is better. I don't know about availability of roller blades for young girls but, if available, I would consider them over roller skates for use on sidewalks. Roller skates turn better, but roller blades are better over joints. Over last summer, my 5 year old daughter did pretty well using these on sidewalks.

No, they should all roll. If you go to a roller skating rink they will loosen the wheels. Or you can get a skate key and loosen them yourself.
