My 9-year-old son bought the scooter with his birthday money. He already had a Razor scooter, but was excited about the "Graffiti" feature. When he first used it, he loved it. Like all Razor scooters, he was able to assemble it quickly out of the box. It came with 6 pieces of chalk, with a spiral cut in the cone shaped tips to fit into the scooter springs. After two short trips around the block, the first three were completely used up. Refills are available for $5 for a package of 6. That's $2.50 per use this product will become very expensive with time. We tried fitting the scooter with Crayola chalk of the same shape, but without the spiral cut to twist them in they didn't work. He is very sad, and is sorry he wasted his $50 of birthday money.

From a strictly scooter perspective, it's a nice machine. Nice colors, works fine.

The drawback is the nonsensical chalk-drawing mechanism. As long as you have specially manufactured (and expensive) chalk, it's fine. But if you decide not to spend your money on chalk refills (and the chalk wears down FAST), the chalk holder is a serious nuisance. Pressing down on the unloaded chalk pedal will damage it. And even if you're not pressing down on it, the empty springs will rattle noisily on all but the smoothest surfaces.

The chalk holder CAN be permanently removed, but with great difficulty. If it could have been easily removed and ignored, I'd have given the scooter four stars.

This is an awesome scooter, my 4 year old loves it. The build quality is great and easy for her to open up when she wants to use it.

I agree that it does use a lot of chalk, but you have to expect that with something that is drawing non stop?

I did come up with a way to use any brand chalk with the scooter. Just click the link or search YouTube for "USE ANY BRAND CHALK in Razor Graffiti Chalk Scooter ". With using crayola chalk you can cut your cost down to about $1.25 per refill, and have bigger pieces.

Honest reviews on Razor Graffiti Chalk Scooter

I bought this for my son for his birthday and the scooter is great! It rides smooth and is good quality like other razor products. We really did not care for the chalk. The drawings by the chalk are nothing like the picture. In fact, you can barely see them. The chalk also goes fast. You also have to purchase special chalk to insert, which is a continuing expense. I have not figured out how to move the "chalk holder". It seems to have a mind of its own. I am glad I purchased this scooter, but I would not pay more for the chalk.

Sunlite Thorn Resistant Bicycle Tube, 26 x 1-3/8 SCHRADER Valve Reviews

These are the thickest tubes I have ever seen, but they do what they saythey are thorn and puncture resistant. If you are looking for something lightweight, then pass these by, but if you don't care about weight and just want a tube that won't puncture from a tiny bit of debris, then these are the ones to get. I even ran over some glass with them once and cut the sidewall of my tire, but not the actual tube, so I would recommend these if you don't care about weight and just care that your tube stays intact.

Perhaps a little too thick when it comes to getting the valve through the hole.

Well, I'm torn. First, this tube outlasted a rear tire, which was simply worn out. The tube was in fine shape, so I used it for a new tire, and it worked great for thousands of miles without any flats. Today, while simply trying to remove the air chuck from my valve after filling, the entire valve stem snapped off in my hand. It seems to have fractured along the threads. I've never had this problem before. At least I wasn't on the side of the road. I think I'll knock a star off, because really, the metal part really shouldn't be the failure point...

I am looking for a tube that can last longer than your traditional tube. This one does the job. Heavy is expected due to its construction and weight. However, I am just riding for health so it doesn't bother me.
