Roller Derby Sidewinder Scooter Review

Roller Derby Sidewinder Scooter
Average Reviews:

I bought this for my 9 year old son for Christmas. I researched many scooters and found this one to be what I thought was the best. It would bear the most weight, had excellent wheels and easy to fold and tuck away. He broke the brake the second time he rode it. It was broken beyond repair as it just snapped off. Now I had warned him about the brake ahead of time, knowing this was the scooters one weak point. He knew not to push on it too hard or slam his foot on it. He was very disappointed and has not ridden it since. I am sure he could stop it with is foot on the the wheel gentlely or by just stepping down/dragging his foot on the ground if he was going fast. Disappointed is an understatement, especially after all the research I did before purchasing it.

Micro Original Kickboard Scooter Review

Micro Original Kickboard Scooter
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I received my Micro Original Kickboard Scooter yesterday, as a replacement for a K2 Trifecta Kickboard I loved, bought in 1997 and lost in my move. What I love about this is its skateboard-style steering, brake (I've never quite learned how to slow down on a skateboard), one-handed operation, portability, solid construction, mod-ability, and uniqueness.
I bet that those who rate this product poorly for stability, steering, handgrip design are trying to use it in a way it isn't intended. It won't behave being treated like a T-bar 2-wheeler. Following the instructions and keeping more of a skateboard stance in mind--feet at 45* angle or even perpendicular to the board--will yield a much stabler navigation control. With the K2 version I used to steer just with my feet, barely touching the stick at all. Also, to get super-tight turning instead of "falling over," counter-steer: if you ride with right foot forward and want to turn right, push on your heels to steer the board right while leaning your weight FORWARD (towards the LEFT side of the board, in order to keep your weight over the board) just hold the stick enough to keep your balance. Don't try to push/pull the stick to steer. Conversely if you ride with right foot forward and want to turn left, press your toes down to steer the board left and hang your body back as far as you can so your weight remains over the board.
Now, what I miss about my old one - this new original is quite large. Seems significantly bigger in length, wheelsize, and joystick diameter. I liked the smaller, more portable size, but did not want the aluminum deck of the Micro Compact Kickboard. This one also seems much softer in the springs than I remember the other to be, and I want a stronger steer; springs are sold, so I'll just have to track them down. The K2 one came with two sets of different strength springs, which amusingly did make it through the move, though I may have finally tossed them. I can't tell whether there are strap or bag accessories for this device, nor can I see any place on it where I could clip a micro kickboard strap (probably meant for the T-bar 2-wheelers). I do dig the ergonomic grab to release the handle lock, though; the K2 had a machined metal dowel that was brutal to the thumb.
Finally, this is such a great product, where are the fans and the info? It's so hard to find goodies about modding, adjusting, accessorizing; videos top out at 5 on YouTube. US distributors - please organize a social community where we can all share knowledge and fun about the Micro Kickboards!

Razor Spark Scooter Review

Razor Spark Scooter

I enjoyed fast service and mint condition of product when it arrived. Product itself was not as described. Sparks were not as awesome as I thought they should be and the cartridges were used up faster than I expected. Also you can get a 2pk at Target for $10 and online the price is $20 plus shipping.
I like the scooter itself, the wheels seem more efficient with smoother ride than other scooters I have tried, but I don't think the "Sparks" aspect was really worth the $20 more I paid for it.

Adding a bit of spark to the original kick scooter, the Razor Spark has modified its A2 scooter with a foot controlled, detachable Spark Bar to light up your ride. The Spark Scooter's spark cartridge creates 20 percent more sparks than other brands on the market thanks to its 5 flint pads. A bonus spark cartridge is included.
The Razor Spark is built of aircraft-grade aluminum, a sturdy material that holds up to use and abuse through the years. Its T-tube and deck, meanwhile, fold up into a compact footprint, so riders can fit the scooter inside a bag or carry it at their side when riding isn't appropriate (it weighs 7 pounds). And thanks to the 98mm inline-style urethane wheels, ABEC 5 bearings, and patented rear fender brake, riders will always feel smooth and in control when kicking along the sidewalk.

Recommended for ages 8 and older, the Razor Spark will support a rider up to 143 pounds. It's also backed by a six-month warranty.

Specifications:

Scooter material: Aircraft-grade aluminum tube and deck
Wheel size: 98mm

Razor A2 Kick Scooter Review

Razor A2 Kick Scooter

Scooter is sturdy, well made and looks great! It glides smoothly and handles nicely. Low to the ground with nice handle bars and grips. I bought this for my grand daughters three years ago and
they had never ridden anything but little kid toys. Each easily learned to handle and ride with very few mishaps. I think it is pretty safe for a ride-on type toy. (we bought helmets and thankfully have never had any bad landings). Now three years later I am still watching them ride working up a good healthy
sweat and loving it!! So, I just purchased scooter number 4 for
one of the girls who has practically worn the wheels off (I hope
I can talk her into the replacement of her favorite toy). She is nine now, the age where girls need outdoor exercise and fun.
WELL WORTH THE MONEY!!A GOOD CHOICE FOR KIDS MOVING UP TO BIG KID TOYS.

The original kick scooter just got a whole lot better, making it even more fun for kids and teens alike. Though it'll never replace the internal combustion engine, the Razor A2 will get your child from point A to point B much quicker than on foot alone, and requires just a few scoots of one's shoes in the process. Plus, it's a blast to use, as your progeny will likely attest.
The Razor A2 is built of aircraft-grade aluminum, a sturdy material that holds up to use and abuse through the years. Razor combined the traditional aluminum construction, however, with a number of recent innovations, including a springless shock system that makes bumpy pavement feel smoother than ever and an all-new wheelie bar that guarantees an extra dollop of fun. Add in the foldable T-tube and deck, which tuck together to create a compact footprint (ideal for carrying when riding isn't appropriate), and you have a great kick scooter for virtually any situation. Other details include an enhanced finger guard, 98 mm inline-style wheels, and a patented rear fender brake for quick stops.
This version of the Razor A2, which weighs around 6 pounds and supports up to 143 pounds, and is recommended for ages 5 and older. It's also backed by a six-month warranty. For the next step up, try the Razor A3 Scooter.
Key Features:
For riders ages 5 and older
Sturdy aluminum construction
Weighs approximately six pounds
Rear fender brake
Enhanced finger guard
Patented folding mechanism
143-pound user weight capacity
Six-month warranty

Street Surfing Whiplash Wave Scooter Review

My nine year old son received the Whiplash Scooter for his birthday. This is his second scooter. He loves this one because he can do so much more with it. He rides it up and down the sidewalk without ever touching the ground and he does these really cool turns he couldn't do on his other scooter. It is really well made too.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Street Surfing Whiplash Wave Scooter

Building on the success of the original Wave street surfing casterboard, the Whiplash Wave scooter continues to combine the natural fluidity of surfing with the maneuverability of snowboarding and skating. Offering a revolutionary new way to ride, the Whiplash Wave Scooter's flexing deck and handlebar fuse together to provide riders with a cool, side to side, whip-like ride. And you can self-propel the scooter so that your feet never touch the ground or ride it like a traditional scooter. The Whiplash Wave Scooter only takes a few minutes to learn, and after a few hours most riders become proficient.
The platform is made of a virtually indestructible yet nicely lightweight ABS plastic, and it features a steel torsion bar that controls the flexible front and rear panels and never wears down. Other hardware features a rear caster wheel with ABEC 7 bearings and an extra long handle folds for easy travel and storage.
How to Ride the Whiplash
Place the Whiplash on a slight downward slope.
Place foot in the center of the back platform and position the scooter so that it is level with the ground.

Push with your front foot and lean your weight forward.
Look straight ahead. Straighten your body and bend your knees slightly.

Immediately after pushing off, start the twisting motion.
To achieve an "S" shape, move your shoulders and your hips back and forth in opposing directions. Swing your back foot repeatedly left to right and self propel your Whiplash Scooter without ever putting your foot on the ground.

Radio Flyer Scoot 2 Skate Review

Radio Flyer Scoot 2 Skate
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My soon to be 6 year old son wanted, in his words- a "skateboard with a handle on it". I poked around, and a bit disappointed in what Toys r Us was offering, found this very stylish board on Amazon. The price was in the mid $30s and I thought it seemed like a good deal. By the time I actually purchased it the price had gone to 39.99. A true skateboard with removable handle (rather than a scooter style toy) are hard to find, so I was not too concerned about the price.
My first impression of the board when it arrived: The deck is well crafted, a 7 or 9 ply board more than strong enough to hold any child without strain, and the handle was dense plastic and powder coated metal. The wheels are typical gummy rubber wheels not built for super speed, which is fine for a toy for this age group. The trucks are disappointing. As a former skateboarder in my youth, I know a bit about skateboard construction. Needless the say, I was more than a bit bummed to see completely plastic trucks on the board. Plastic uppers are common on budget skateboards, but the longer part of the truck that bears the weight of the rider over the wheels is made of plastic as well. Fine for a 6 yr old, not so fine for when their older brother decides to jump on, or for when the child themselves is older and wants to use it as a regular board, since that's what the manufacturer is marketing it as.
I was also a bit miffed that the grip tape strips on the top had peeled loose where the deck bends upward at each end, as if the material itself had contracted/shrunk after application. Returning the board was not an option so close to my son's birthday, and he would not have been happy with anything else anyway. I brainstormed. Trying to stick it back down was to no avail. I ended up peeling it up completely the last few inches at either end, applying some gorilla glue and sticking it back down. Its fine now. It was not a huge deal, but it seems silly to have to doctor a product before its ever even used.
Cons:
-Crappy trucks. If your kid wants to graduate to using this as a standard board for trick or just when they are heavier, plan on upgrading to some metal trucks (available online and at any skate shop)
-The grip tape not so well applied.
Pros:
-This wood deck is a great deck. I'm an overweight adult and with better trucks and wheels I could have ridden this board just fine. Its the one central piece of this board that should last beyond some of the other (replaceable) parts.
-The handle seems really sturdy
-My son instantly loved it and had a blast riding it. Glad to see him on a skateboard and not a razor sscoot, as this is the perfect step to have him on his way to riding a skateboard like his older brother, at his own comfortable pace.

Aspiring skaters will ride with confidence on the Scoot 2 Skate from Radio Flyer. This beginner skateboard really is a 2-in-1 value, offering an authentic skateboard look and real skateboard trucks in both riding modes. Kids learn balance and control in scooter mode; then the handle removes completely allowing full skateboard functionality once riders are ready.
