This thing is tough. I got this for my 4 year old for Christmas.  She really wanted it but has not idea how to ride it. Just to give you an idea of how strong it is, I am 6'2 240lbs and I rode it down hill on a bumpy concrete path at like 20 mph and jumped a speed bump at the bottom.  My feet barely fit on it and I looked really strange riding a pink scooter but I am impressed with the build quality. I will more than likely get another one for my other daughter.
