We bought this as an inexpensive replacement scooter for my son's stolen expensive one. It is a nice little scooter, though the standing board is much shorter and it doesn't expand to as tall as the other ones. It easily folds in half and then the handles pop out (via cable and steel button) for very compact storage. It is very simple to fold and unfold (my 9 yr old can do it without help, even the steel buttons). Wish it was taller..but it does go fast and manuevers smoothly.
