what is the recommended age group? How short do handle bars go? Is it too tall for a short nine year old girl?

hi, this is perfect for a nine yr old girl. this scooter is actually too big for my little 4 yr old gdaughter. but i had purchased a trick scooter for her older brother. i found out all the kids want a street surfer like this. this is very reasonably priced compared to the trick scooters. i recommend this as it is well made. (doesn't fold) your daughter will have a blast.

from the floor to the handle bars is 30", nine is definitely in the age group, my grandson has enjoyed scooters from a very young age (2?) and did up until recently, he is now almost 12, the handle bars are not adjustable.

I bought this scooter for my 8 year old grandson and he likes it very much, only problem it wobble a lot, after a day of hard scootering, we have three years warranty on it so we decided to keep it

My 7 year old boy rides it just fine... and my 13 year old son has also puttered around on it. The 7 year old actually prefers it over his Razor scooter (to our surprise!). Be aware, though - the handle bars are a SET height - no raising or lowering like you can on the Razor.

my 7 year old has this scooter. it's perfect size for him. i don't think it would be too tall for a short 9 yr old. my 11 year old uses it sometimes too.

I bought it for my daughter at 2 years old as well and she is tall for her age. She can reach the pedals but if the pedal is fully extended she can't reach it enough to get a good push on it. She loves it though...she scoots around on it just putting her feet on the ground. I would think she would be able to ride it until 5 or so. I actually had to buy a new one for her because she left the trike behind our F-150 truck and lets just say that didn't end well for the bike! So Santa "fixed" the bike and will be bringing it back!

I bought this for my 1 year old about 6 months ago. The bar seems to be the right height for her to hang on to and bounce. She will be 2 in a few months. I think I would invest in something different for a 9 year old unless they have trouble with coordination and balance.

The handlebar is not adjustable, but my daughter who is 5'4" tall and son in law who is 6'1" both say it fits them just fine. My daughter uses it almost every day, hardly has to keep a finger on it to guide. She and baby of 8 months love it!

This bike is perfect for shorter (or as I like to call us, heightly challenged) people. I would not recommend it for tall people, but she would have a very easy time with it.

It is small, but my above average height 3 year old rides it with no problem. I'd say anyone older than toddler age would need the larger one.

I have a tall 10 year old who still uses hers. I can ride it, too. I think there is only one size.

My son bought one when he was 5 and it is small for him but he loves it and rides it all the time. My daughters that are 10,12 and 14 can all still get on it and ride around and they enjoy it also even though their legs are too long. Hope that helps.

I would think its too big for a 3 year old. We bought for a 5 year old and we had to adjust the seat and handlebars all the way down. I would start with a 12 or 14

The bottom of the handlebars were about 24.5-25" tall depending on what part of the handlebars and the top of the seat on ours was set at 18" but is adjustable. My daughter easily used it right when she turned four.

I got this for my granddaughter when she turned 7. Se is very athletic and has good balance. It would be great for the 6 year old if he can balance his bike without training wheels. The 9 year old would like it unless he is a "big or heavy" kid", then it probably wouldn't go fast enough for him. The reason I say that is because both my granddaughters can ride the one I got, but it goes real slow. Hope this helps.

No. Too small. Seat is hard. It's good for an 10 year old. His knees would hit the handlebars.

I purchased this one for my 9 year old but I'm sure it would be fine for a 12 year old. I bought a different one for my 11 year old daughter though. Their very popular and they love to ride their friends.

My son is 9, he's about 4'2"-4'4". Bikes perfect for him. Very nice bike! Hope this helps. Easy to assemble!

It is 9 1/2" wide, but, unless she is very small for her age, I don't think that she will really enjoy it, as it will be a very short ride. Maybe you should look for the next size if they have one. +JMJ+

At 5'2" I find it a bit of a stretch. At 5'8" my husband finds it perfect. At 6' my son can't use it because his knees hit the handlebars. The handlebars don't move but you do sit upright and slightly forward.

For those wondering about size, my 5 year old daughter rides it fine. Though a little shorter and it would be hard for her to ride. However she is a tall 5 year old (approx. 47") I would say anyone under 45" might be too short. And I don't see how many teenagers could ride it.
