expensive gimmick
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I purchased this for my grandson because he seemed to be excited about the TV commercial. Flames high behind the kid. I helped him put it together and we went out to see for ourselves. Wow, what a disappointment. He could have drug a chain behind him and achieved the same result. He played on it for less than 20 minutes and came in to tell me the “sparks” were gone. Sure enough, no sparks and time to change the sparkler box. I called about this and was told that if you use the brakes, the box will wear down quickly. Ahh, within 20 minutes? No, this was unacceptable. I sent it back and purchased a regular Razor scooter from a local dealer at a much lower price and no sparkler replacement to be purchased. My issue is not with the scooter itself just the ripoff gimmick of the sparks. The scooter is great and my grandson enjoys it a lot. I am saying–don’t waste your money on the sparkler part. I notice there are no more ads for it lately. Does that say it for me?

Good product at a great price.

Amazon should rationalize the Kindle DX pricing.

The Cover alone cost more than the scooter

Nice scooter….too bad it didn’t spark well.
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
The scooter itself is great. It is easy to put together, folds up nicely, and feels very solid. The only real problem is that you don’t get the same kind of sparks as you see on television, and I would have been better off tying some sparklers to it while my son was riding on it. I would have saved a lot of money and replacements would have been cheap and easy to find. The sparks that come out are very weak, which was a real disappointment for my son. Hopefully this was a lesson for him not to believe what he sees on television commercials. I suppose if he were riding down hill on a really rough roadway and he put all of his weight down, he MIGHT be able to get some decent sparks. The problem is that putting that kind of pressure on the scooter would seriously unbalance the rider and create an safe situation. Also, I don’t know how stable this would be going down a really steep hill, again, possibly creating an unsafe situation. Of course, I wouldn’t recommend tying sparklers to it either (I was being a bit sarcastic). It’s really too bad, because this would be a great idea for kids. I would save your money and buy a regular Razor scooter.

Cool scooter
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Overall great product. The only problem is the sparking mechanism gets in the way of the brake. It can be a little confusing for the younger riders at first.

Big hit!
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
My son loves the scooter. He understands the sparks don’t last forever and is glad to know that we can order more. The one thing we did not like was the additional bolt covers. They were hard to put on and one completely ripped off taking the underlying sticker off. This was upsetting to my son because it looks very messy for a brand new scooter. I would recommend just leaving those covers off.

My grandson was the hit of the block with his razor spark scooter. He reports it goes very fast, even besides the sparks.

I bought this scooter for my son as his 8th birthday present. He loved it so much, really enjoyed doing the sparks. He told me it’s the best scooter he had ever.

Arrived Fast
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Everything arrived as described, the wheels were not used as some other reviewers had problems with. It snapped right together, and my son is busy enjoying it as we speak. No buyer’s remorse on this one!

Simple Fun!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
The scooter was purchased for my almost 6 year old daughter. She had been asking for one for sometime. I did not realize until the scooter arrived that the recommended age was 8 years old. With a little bit of practice and demonstration from mom, she was able to learn how to ride. It is a simple toy that provides hours of entertainment. It is easy to transport to the park. She has had a fun summer with it. Mom enjoys riding it as well!
