Sports reviews of Kent Super ScooterCustomer Review: Our 4 Kids Love Them Sport shop rating: 5 StarsWe have four boys ranging in age from 11 to 15. We purchased these scooters for each of them for their birthdays. When they arrived, I had to put them all together (which took several evenings so as to keep the surprise intact). The instructions for the brakes were quite minimal (written in China?) but after going into the garage and looking at the brakes on my bike, I was able to figure out how to assemble and adjust the brakes adequately. Other than that glitch, assembly was quite simple and straightforward. You don't need any special tools, just a few wrenches and a pair of pliers. I would also suggest that you make sure that the deck is secured since one of ours arrived with a loose deck (attached with phillips head screws).
Our boys really love these scooters. They ride them in front of our home in our neighborhood and also at a local city park that does not allow skateboards, but does allow scooters. One of the BIG attractions for us was the big inflatable tires. We avoided the "razor" style scooter since it has the little dinky hard rubber tires. If you hit a rock or a seam in the pavement with it, you could easily go flying over the handlebars. With these big inflatable tires, they are much safer and more secure to ride. Our boys have ridden both the razor style and these Kent scooters and have affirmed this. These also go much faster (Dads will probably think this is a cool, while Moms may see this as an anxiety breeder). One thing to keep in mind is that since these tires are inflatable, they have tubes in them which means that you can get a flat. The first day my boys used them, one of them got a flat. Fortunately, I had previously taught our boys how to fix a flat on their bicycles (I got tired of fixing flat tires on four bikes - it became nearly a full time job!). Our son fixed the flat on the scooter in about 10 minutes.
We would highly recommend these, especially considering the price. The free shipping through Amazon made all the difference for us. Local sporting goods places could also order them (same price), but we would have had to pay shipping on all four scooters (probably about $15 per scooter). We really love Amazon and their excellent service and competitive pricing.
