Do NOT buy this if you are an advanced rider! This is built more for a 12 yr old beginner! It's a decent scooter to start out on, but my 12 yr old son has upgraded most of this!

I bought this for my 12 year old who does tricks and wow he is pretty good. He goes to skate parks and his brother has a scotter just like this one that I paid a ton of money for 100+ dollars. This one is just like it and is very durable!!! GREAT BUY!!! IT HAS ALREADY BEEN THROUGH A LOT AND IT'S A PRO SCOTTER AND YOU CAN TELL. :)

I bought it for my 8 year old grand daughter. In 70 years old. 5`3" tall and 130 lbs. We both have fun riding it.

I don't use my board daily, but i do use it often enough to know how good the board is. Its a little heavy and hard to turn because of the length of the board. but it is a smooth and safe ride all the way down any hill. I love this board, I hope this helps.

It is pretty sturdy. My son (age 9), daughter (age 12) and friends (up to age 14) all use and love the Fliker. I would definitely recommend users have elbow and knee pads and an helmet if they do tricks.

It is a very good trick scooter. We had a problem with one of the wheels wearing down but the company replaced it quickly under warranty. We have not had any problem since and my grandson is constantly doing jumps, spins, etc.

I bought this for my 8 yr old granddaughter. I have ridden it on pavement (185#) and it will do ok. Off-road it barely Will move with my weight. It does well under 150#.

I weigh 290 and I've ridden it for 45 min. around a fairly hilly neighborhood. I'm very satisfied with it's ride time. I did put the hill climb kit on mine because of my size.the frame is sturdy and I've hit some pretty good bumps in the road with no damage. I would recommend that you check it over after every 3-4 hours of riding just to make sure the suspension hardware is tight. I did notice a couple fasteners that had loosened up.

My grandson absolutely loves his he got it for his birthday a couple of years ago. He's 11 now and still loves to ride it. It's not what I would consider a mode of transportation but I guess that's a matter of opinion.

My son got it when he was 4 and did great, now he's five and still rides it all the time... My nine year old loves it too. I even ride it:)

It is durable... to an extent. I've had the product for seven months and I can safely say that there are parts that can break. I would highly recommend that you first buy the Power Rangers Super Megaforce Morpher first. It's the American equivalent to the Mobirate but little more durable and made for younger kids. But if he still wants the Japanese Mobirate, I say go for it.

I bought this car for my 13 year old son. He has ran it pretty hard and it hasn't broken yet. He and his dad crash into to each other and they jump ramps with it also. They have only lost a few pins and have some scratches on the body because of this.

It is very stable. You can check ou the videos on Youtube. As your skill increases you can switch to advanced modes. But be careful when you operating in congested places. If the throttle is ON when you hit an obstacle, there is a 95% chance you will fry the motor in contact.

I would say yes. My son is 7 and his older friends play on it too. It's held up very well for 2mos, they use one piece at a time for "jumps." It's a little narrow for a skate board though, better for bikes. A good value compared to others too.

it all depends on how much you ride it. ive been using mine almost daily and ive had it for a couple months. it still looks and works like new.

I personally think you should be fine for at least a little while. We bought it last spring for our 4 year old daughter who is tall for her age and she rides it around like a crazy woman. Her older sister, who was 6 at that time, and who is also tall for her age (95th percentile) was able to ride it without problems with the seat at the middle position, although it was more comfortable for her when I moved the seat to the very back position. Our then 6 year old (who just turned 7 this month) learned to ride a two-wheeler this past summer however, so she really has no interest in her little sister's big wheel. Have you looked into coaster bikes? I personally think you should be fine for at least a little while.

My son had it since he was one got it for him for his first bday. He's 18 months now and about 30 lbs and still rides it fine its should be good till he's about 3 I'm thinking. More of till he's either to heavy and the thing will break which I doubt it will because my fiance rode it and she's 120 lbs. Any age is fine as long as their interested in it is my opinion. Pro long use at above recommended weight will damage any type of PVC structure it has.
