I purchased this scooter for my grandson who simply loved it. Although, at first, we thought it was broken as you have to kick start the motor. So just know, it will not go if you just step on it and revive the handle/motor, you will need to balance yourself and push off with one foot on the scooter and one foot pushing from the ground! I believe this is ultimately for safety reasons. If you can physically do this, this product is a no brainer.
