How well do the wheels work? My son likes to go fast!

I gave this as a gift for my nephew, and I was told worked well, although I must say that he learned to use them gradually. the material is strong, I would say that you should not have problems with them.

They are good wheels, suitable for the purpose. I too walk several miles/wk, and find them good. They are not skateboard quality,( which are my preference), but for a buggy with 100 lbs or less, on cement sidewalks they seem tbe durable. If you are on gravel or uneven dirt roads, it may not be enough.But the buggy is great, in general and much better and more useful than the cheaper wire baskets I have used. Ive had mine, used regularly for several months, and I find little to complain about. ( b/c the wheels swivel easily, and the sidewalks in my neighborhood, tilt for runoff, they tend to follow the tilt. Only complaint I have. They are good wheels, suitable for the purpose.

My son bought it and he is 13. I think my 7 year old son likes to ride on it just fine. The handle bars might be a little bit high (unless he is a tall 6 year old), but it is a great scooter. It rides well on our gravel driveway.

My son is about that height and he can touch them but not push them all the way around, but he gets around on it just fine by "walking" it with his feet. He should be able to use the pedals soon.

Kids can get it to spin. Not quite like the ziggle, though. Ezyroller's wheels are different than ziggle's.

My son loves this bike (it's very tough and sturdy). Grass, dirt and sidewalks have not been an issue when riding it. I must say he did have difficulty with pushing the pedal initially- I think it's because he was 2 and likely needs time to grow into the bike. My oldest son 15 actually stands on the bar between the back wheels and uses his feet to give my little one a faster adventurous ride :) I'd definitely recommend.

We only have tried solid tires and they seem fine. So far use has been light and on sidewalks only. Our 2-year old did not take to peddling quickly, so not much to go on yet, but I suspect, based on the design of pedals and cranks, that this is not designed to go so fast as to warrant air tires.

I purchased this for my son. He is 16 and loves it. It will do spinouts in dirt and snow. It goes so fast if you take a turn too sharply it will flip it. Fast enough?

My son is 6 months and he has an easy time going backwards thus far. We havnt grasped the concept of going forward but the wheels and directionals on the wheels are pretty easy even when i push him into another room. Hes not very entertained by the console, so i normally have to give him other toys to keep his attention.

I think it is perfect for 3 or 4 year old. My son is 5 now. He want a fast one which the wheel made of rubber instead of plastic. So when he turn 5 . This one may not good for him.

I Alyse, I gave it to my nephew on his birthday when he completed 2 years old. He knew how to use the pedals, but use the steer wheel was a lil confusing. However, I think if your son practices four or five times, he will be fine. By the way, it is a great present to share with other kids.

It goes about 5 mph. My son is 6 yrs old and he loves it. He fell once but got right back up and rode it like a charm. It is safe and it is not too fast.

Yeah, the wheels are pretty good; the squeak may bother you. Here is what I found, if you look the pedals - meaning that your kid cant/wont pedal - it doesnt squeak. So your trike is not an annoyance to you and you are not an annoyance to the other pedestrians. If you, on the other hand, *not* lock the wheel - which is definitely more fun for the older kids, once they figure out the pedaling - it (the squeak) can become really unbearable. Having said that, your kid may not mind it as much as you do, at least thats the case with mine.Anyways, back to the wheels, they seem to be well made. It's been almost an year and they have served pretty well for us, no issues. Yeah, the wheels are pretty good; the squeak may bother you.

Ours aren't smooth either but once our daughter got the hang of maneuvering around cracks she does great! Great outdoor skates! I recommend getting an extra set of wheels like we did so she can use them at indoor rinks!

My grandson is 4 and the fun he has is going as fast as he can, putting on the brakes and spinning it to a stop. Not like riding a bike.
