are the stir-ups just for show or can the kids use them while riding?

My son (2 y/o) uses them and loves to have his feet supported while riding.

Sorry, just saw your question today. We bought these for our Grandboys that were 3 and 4 at the time,but there sister older sister rode these as well. She was 8. These were the best quality scooters we could buy and the boys are still riding them. I would buy them again. Hope this helps.

Absolutely, we love ours and our 10 and 12 year old girls still ride theirs. Their 4 yr old brother would do it on his own, except for the fact that they have the long bar in place and so the controls are a little too far for him.

Personally, I wouldn't recommend it, but to each their own. Just as Triplethreat suggested, it is about the ability to understand...occasionally I have to tell my 3 year old (that is 32 lbs) to be still. If she gets into the ride and starts to lean, it throws off my balance and can be quite dangerous going around turns (especially passing others on the trails.) Also, keep in mind other factors, such as things being kicked, or splashed up in their face, and them not being able to tell you. Just my opinion, but I would get an inclosed one until your kiddo is a bit older.

No. They are not that strong and that's for a reason. This is for small kids to play. If it were that strong, they would have a tough time getting them apart and putting them together.

I have had kids romping on these without incident. Of course with very small kids, one would expect parental supervision due to the height of the stool

Yes. For sure. My 7-year-old and 5-year-old ride them perfectly (they're both over four ft tall, though). Unless he's small for his age, it'll probably be too small.

There isn't a stirrup. So far, I haven't had a problem with them riding up. Hope this helps.

I bought one for my 3 year old niece after seeing a boy riding around the sidewalks at my condo complex. My brother in law put training wheels on it which defeats the purpose of a balance bike. I don't think she rides it too often but they live on a step driveway. When I was purchasing I heard about the same maker creating one with wheels you can eventually put on. I liked that a lot buy couldn't find online in stock. I do think a boy would like this and after initially being against the idea of a bike without peddles, I do think it teaches them how to catch themselves when they are about to fall. Also, the seat can easily be raised and my 5 year old niece sat on it and seemed to be fine. I bought one for my 3 year old niece after seeing a boy riding around the sidewalks at my condo complex.

The child can apply their brakes when riding. You will notice the pull feeling. After that happened once, I reminded my daughter not todo that when riding. It is not enough to stop you completely when the child brakes.

These scooters don't come with any connectors, its not they way they are made. You can stack them as pictured and you can certainly connect them with rope or something like that so that you could pull another person around. they are a really great investment. We got ours 2 Christmas's ago and they will surely last a lifetime. We've not had any issues with them, and surprisingly we haven't even had any pinched fingers. They are really fun for kids.

It's just a pedal ride on......but know that it is small for if the child is more that 3 or 4 it would be too small.

They were used by a small person. I think they can be used by a child of 10 or higher.

When you're pushing the trike the pedals don't move, so they can rest on the pedals. My daughter pushes a little and then rests a little.

Hello Gang, Thank you for your message. The two kids on the picture are definitely real :) As long as you don't exceed the maximum weight of 65 lbs, two kids can ride together. Also, you may find this video useful during your assembly: http://www.unorthsupport.com/index.php?/MotaToys/Knowledgebase/Article/View/7/0/mota-electric-car---assembly-steps-video Regards, Kevin Faro MOTA Toys - UNorth

Hi Jongho, I bought two of this and it is very nice for the kids, more safe, because have two wheels in the back. Regards

You can but I suspect that they will collect sand on the outside. They are rather light weight. I just thought they were very expensive for what it is and if the whole family joins in the "snowball" fight, it might engage the kids and be more fun for them.
