Is this scooter durable and how smooth is the ride compared to other scooters for this price?

The scooter is indeed well built and durable. It doesn't glide quite as well as the Razor, but I don't think you would notice unless you went right from one to the other. It may be that the wheels are slightly harder on the Razor, or perhaps the bearings are of better quality, but really the difference is marginal.

That's a difficult question to answer, but I think it's well worth it. Scooter is very durable and like with all scooters, the ride depends heavily in where you're riding. I'm in Boston, infamous for pot holes, cobblestones & bricks, and broken sidewalks, but I love my Kicker. Hope that helps.

I weigh 230lb and it's handling me just fine. As smooth as any scooter with similar diameter wheels.

This scooter is a great ride for the price. The wheels coast really well and the handle is a good size. Weight rated to 300lbs. I am half that and have no problem jumping it. The only complaint is the deck is short for my feet. About 14in long but it is twice as wide so you can still put both feet on the deck. The other issue is the lock sleeve is plastic. Not really a big issue. The higher versions of the scooter have bigger decks and hand brakes but the same wheels and weight capacity.

The goped kicker is rock solid. I bought it for my 9yo, but I've ridden it - I weigh 230lbs. It's a great ride.

I think this is the perfect scooter for a 4 year old (my kids are 6 & 8 and still ride them). I also am not a fan of the razor, they are metal and narrow. We have both and this is a superior scooter for balance and material. Goes just as fast, handles WAY better. Hope that helps.

It would hold up but be a bit small. Look up scooter x power kart on youtube. Then you can see how big/small it is.Thabk you

Its amazing. Rides nice and smooth. it picks up speed very easy. just be careful not to hit the the front wheel with your pushing leg or you'll go flying off of it. totally worth every penny though

Not really. Without the motor on, it doesn't really glide like a regular scooter. My kids got the hang of it very quickly. I bought it for my 9 year old boy, but my 7 year old girl rides it with no problem too. It's too big for my younger one...mostly because the handle bars are pretty high, but not because he has trouble balancing it.

It is a solid scooter. The only thing my son has done to it was tighten the break screws to fully dial it in. Break was working properly there was just a slight rattle. He rides with his friends whose scooters costing a minimum of twice as much as his fusion holds it's own. Most of them have asked to ride his Fuzion and like it just as much. We even offered to buy a more expensive scooter for his birthday and he said no that his works great. In our case, he has not much "bad" to say. He really likes it.

yes. it does ride smoothly. I thought it would be 3 spd, but it works well for my purposes.

I have been selling the TAO TAO model # ATM-50 for the past 9+ years and so far am very happy with the quality of this brand. As long as you give the scooter a good break in period, go very slow for the first few WEEKS, change the oil in the first few DAYS and keep doing regular maintenance it will not give you any problems. Also, the maximum speed for the scooter is 35/45 MPH. If you go more than 45 mph for a long period, the engine will definitely burn and seize.

I think it will last a couple years. My grandson is hard on scooters and had to send a few back but this one is built well so I think it will last.

It actually seems lighter than most of the razor brand scooters my son has had. It's a really nice scooter for the price and well built.

Very durable, especially considering the modest price. This not like many other toys I've purchased for my kids and grand kids which break in a few days. Go for it--you'll have a happy child and the cost per use will be a few pennies. PS: I'm a 70 year old Grampa and I have fun with it. Zero emissions too.

What do you expect? this is a scooter, it doe snot have a suspension. It is the smoothest one Ive tried because it has pneumatic tires. I am 25 year old. I use it to go to work.

I'm not an expert on scooters. I think it is a wonderful toy. It's pretty. It's still in one piece! In fact, it really is gorgeous. The handle bars turn the wheels easily. Not to easily, not too uneasily. This is a 1st Scooter and it is a #1 Scooter in my opinion.
