Not bashing the product, but you need to be aware of a design flaw.
There is a design flaw (intentionally???) with the frame. Underneath the seat, the seating frame connects (two separate pieces). It is this connection point that fails. The two pieces are joined by one rather short screw that bends easily, which then causes the frame to sag. Shortly thereafter, the sagging connection drags on the riding surface which renders the unit unusable. These two connecting pieces are NOT available (or even identified in the user manual) as replacement parts. When this poorly designed frame sags to the ground (AND IT WILL!), you can either take it to a mechanic (or similar) to have it welded, or just buy another unit (preferred by Razor). All other aspects of the ride-on are ok in my opinion. The self-pedaled version of this has the rider frame in one piece. This unit needs to have the same design. I can see no benefit whatsoever of this unit needing the seating frame to be in two pieces. (04DEC15) Actually, I found a great way to ensure solid connection between the two frame pieces. I went to Home Depot and purchased the thickest bolt and accompanying washers and nut. The factory-bored hole needed to be widened slightly so a power drill managed that. By connecting the two pieces with this industrial-grade bolt, any 'sagging' was immediately corrected. I can attach a picture of this modification, if anyone desires. Now, I can stand on the connecting point and the frame holds together as if it is one solid piece (as it should have been). Since I was able to fully overcome the design flaw (for less than $3), I'm upping my star rating! Granddaughter still has a great big smile on her face EVERY time she rides. In her words, it's her "motorcycle".
