Got this for my 6-year old son for his birthday.

That was 3 months ago. This thing gets use almost every day and is the coolest thing on the road.

I ride my bike and he motors along side wearing his helmet and knee pads.

It goes fast, but not too fast, and is incredibly sturdy and easy for him to steer.

He parks it in his spot in the garage when done and hooks it up himself to recharge. Batteries last a long time so it's not always necessary.

My son gets looks and comments everywhere he goes, and he always has fun whether there is a spark bar attached or not. They don't wear out too quickly, and aren't too expensive to replace... so we bought some extras for him.

I know he'll be using this for years to come.

Excellent quality, excellent fun, excellent price and value for the money.

You will not be disappointed!

We got this for my daughters 8th birthday and what was the first thing she does when she rides it? Wrecks.... But she had no clue of how to ride it. Other than that this is pretty cool. It does go just fast enough for someone who has never rode it before. I even got on it and I see why she wrecked on it. As soon as I took off on it, it really went. So be careful, even ride it before your child does, if they have never rode one before and explain how to ride it. And the spark thing is neat too. The charge on the scooter is still good without recharging yet and the spark has still a little left on it. Yeah the spark only last a little while but its still worth it. Also this was the cheapest place to buy it and received it the next day, just like they said I would. I love amazon and you can't go wrong from ordering this.

My son has had a blast on this scooter. He uses it almost everyday and has almost worn through the first spark pad. The charge lasts longer than I expected also.

My son got this scooter for Christmas and loved everything about it. He was satisfied with how long the charge and the spark last. However, after only 2 weeks of owning it, the electric part didn't work more often than it did. The power switch would be turned on but it would flicker. When the light was off, it didn't work. He really liked it so we are going to hope we just got a bad one. We went today to Toys R Us to exchange it but they were out. The girl at the counter said it was the 4th brought back so far this year but we are going to chance it and get another when more come in.

Review of Bell Array Bike Helmet

Bell Array Bike Helmet, White/Silver, Large
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars
Buy Now
OK...I admit it...I don't have much use for bicycle helmets. I don't know how I've been riding for 50+ years and survived without wearing a helmet. I guess the same way I survived riding around in a car for many years before seatbelts and kid car seats. I must just be a survivor.

My problem with bike helmets years ago when people first started considering using them was they were heavy and they made you feel like you were a benched linebacker. They were like wearing a heated kettle in the summer and what do you do with it when you weren't riding? No...I don't need to wear a darn helmet.

Then I started to do a little mountain biking. Not quite the same as my past experience and now that I've reached the "age of maturity" and my nagging spouse has honed her skills...I decided to consider the merits of riding with a little protection for my noggin.

This brings me to the part where I share my experience of the Bell Array. I knew I wanted a Bell helmet because of past experience riding motorcycles. If I'm going to consider riding my mountain bike with a helmet on my head I wanted the quality of construction Bell is known for. I knew my decision on the Bell Array was a good one after the first ride. This thing is comfortable, very light weight, and most surprising to me was that it was "airy". It's almost like having a fan built into the helmet the way the air is channeled and circulated. I'm of the opinion that it very much feels like you aren't wearing anything at all...I like that for obvious reasons. That and the fact that it's one less thing that "she who must be obeyed" has to nag me about.

If you're like me and would prefer not to wear a pot on your head when taking a non-competitive bike ride but good sense or a nagging wife dictates otherwise...I highly recommend that you give the Bell Array a look. It's very lightweight, easily adjustable, comfortable, and cool. It's made for people who otherwise might hate bike helmets just as I did.

I crashed my bike 2 weeks ago by hitting a dog while doing about 20 mph. There was nothing I could do, not enough time to react, and I couldn't even get my hands out to brace myself. I landed head first with the Bell Array taking the force of a 300lbs rider falling onto it without anything else to soften the blow to the head but the helmet.

The helmet cracked in 5 places, the foam compressed to 1/2 the thickness it normally is, the plastic of the helmet allowed the helmet (and me) to continue travelling forward which likely lessened the overall force to the head.

I feel that I'm fortunate to be alive and question whether I would still be alive if it wasn't for my Bell Array helmet.

My recent purchase of this helmet is to replace the one broken in the crash. I trust this helmet with my life.

Best Deals for Bell Array Bike Helmet

I purchased this helmet after hitting a dog at 30mph and destroying my old one. I was looking for comfort, air-flow, and weight, in that order. The primary reason I ordered from Amazon was they had this helmet for a great price, and I could get it here quick.

Functionally, this helmet has been great. I get plenty of air-flow through the vents to keep my head cool, and I have done several 2-3 hour rides, and rarely notice this helmet. Hopefully I won't need another helmet for a few more years, but if I do, this will likely be it.

Honest reviews on Bell Array Bike Helmet

Just getting back into cycling after 25 years removed, on a budget no less (aren't we all?). I wanted a decent helmet for under $100, one that got good reviews, and one that matched the rig. I also wanted one that had the inner foam "finished" all the way down the back of the helmet. The ARRAY does all this. All the reviews you read about sizing are dead onthis lid can be dialed in to fit perfectly! FYI, unless your head is a pin or a melon, go for the "M" size. My measurement was at the upper end of the sizing range on the MEDIUM, but found out this weekend that I still had enough slack to dial it out to fit a tight cap on underneath due to the cold weather we're having. Also, the back "webbing" seems to come down a little further than other helmets, offering more protection and a more confident fit. For the $$$, you can't go wrong!

PSAlso found out that Giro and Bell are the same Co.!

Reviews of Electra Fatti-O Tire

Electra Fatti-O Tire
Customer Ratings: 5 stars

I was looking for a 3" wide tire with white walls for my custom unicycle. Naturally, I checked out Amazon.com to see if they had any good prospects. Well I stumbled upon this beauty! If have ridden bikes and now unicycles my whole life and have purchased many tires in my life. This is the highest quality tire I own! Electra has raised the bar with the quality of their products. The tire has a beautifully thick white wall and the tread pattern is very similar to that of a motorcycle street tread. The 3 inch width is perfect for my unicycle because it gives me extra stability when I turn and a good stable base to ride on. This tire actually comes on some of the Electra bikes, but its perfect for my uni too! This tire comes in a black wall version too, so if you want a very good tire for your bike,or unicycle, then check out Electra! I did and I couldn't be more pleased!

If you want a tire that will make your cruiser look bitchin, then this is it! As long as it will fit (its pretty wide) you will not be dissapointed. I have several bikes with 24x3 tires on the rear or front & rear. This is the first time I have bought the Electra version of the wide cruiser tire, and I wish I had bought it sooner.

I like these tires. They're more grippy than they look. They're big, but don't sit too high off the rim. They look right on my Kona Joe. Waaay better than the stock Kendas.

We all know Park Tools are high quality. This works exactly as intended. Highly recommended for all your bicycular maintenance needs.

Honest reviews on Park Tool AV-4 Heavy Duty Axle and Pedal Vise

This is a very nice tool to have around. It seems to be well built and function as it's supposed to. Note that it is fairly soft metal to keep from messing up the threads, and that you won't want to use this to hold an axle (or any threaded rod) to loosen a tight fastener; doing so will eat away at the metal of the vise. But it certainly comes in handy when you need to hold a wheel still to remove or insert ball bearings and stuff like that. You can also use it to work on lamps (containing hollow rods) and other stuff like that where you don't want to mar the object you're holding

Obviously, you need a bench vise to use this properly.

I purchased this tool on a curious whim and I am completely satisfied.

It is designed to do one thing and do it well, secure wheel axle and pedal spindle threads securely in a bench vise.

It has exceeded my expectations, I used it regularly and it's now one of my favorite tools.

It may seem a bit overpriced but once you begin to use it you realize it's worth every penny.

If you're a bicycle mechanic I heartily recommend the Park Tool AV-4 Heavy Duty Axle and Pedal Vise.

When I first started riding again I bought the self sealing tubes from target and kmart, which lasted about 2 weeks max for simple trips. Then I got these tubes. They last anywhere from 2 months a year and a half with moderate use. They work better paired with tire liners (Mr. Tuffy Bicycle Tire Liner); as I had with 26" tires. However, they also worked for over six months on a 27" hybrid bike tire without the liner; with medium use, contacting glass and goatshead thorns regularly. The liner serves two purposes: to protect the tube and to make up for the amount of effort it takes to pump these up to fill in the tube to the right amount of pressure. One thing to note for beginners: is they lose air naturally over time, if they lose alot over a short period of time (24 hours or less) buy a new one, if it is only a little over a long period of time, keep the pressure up. I apologize that I haven't had a significant amount of time with my 24" tires, but after this first week they still seem great. Plus, 24" tubes are hard to find anyway, since no one manufactures 24" rims anymore. All the more reason to buy something that lasts!

It was not made to be installed on rear racks that are more than 1/4 in thick. Mine is about 1/2 in thick, and I had to bend the attachments to them fit. Also, the clasps on the side are a bit tight, and sometimes get stuck when I try to open/close the basket. However, it definitely comes in handy when I go shopping, and generously holds one standard-sized grocery bag.

I like this item and it works as advertised but I wish it locked into shape better because it can rattle around quite a bit if not completely full, which can be annoying/distracting to people like me. Otherwise it does the job as well as any other similar basket.

These baskets are nice and strong. I have placed milk, two liters, pizza and other amounts of things in one basket and it held just fine. Though I suggest that you use extra zip ties to hold them in place so they don't bounce around alot. That's the key to getting good use out of these types of baskets.

Easily assembled, can lift one end and roll with the other, bottom tray easy to clean. Honestly, needed a nice mat for the bottom for comfort for our pooch. Have had for over 6 months, very satisfied.

PROS: This price is the best I seen for this item. I really like the way the basket folds up and out of the way when you're not using it. Basket construction and paint finish (black) are better than most I've looked at. Using the included P-clips or the cable ties holds the basket on securely and makes the installation pretty simple. When expanded/folded out, I carried about 25lbs of groceries easily. I ended up purchasing a second basket to put on the other side a few weeks later.

CONS: Only a couple of minor things. I found it difficult to fasten the clip used to secure the basket in it's folded position. But to be fair to the product, this probably has more to do with the way I mounted the baskets to the bikes frame, than the baskets themselves. It's very possible the positions I used to attach them caused the basket's shape to warp a little. The second item is, getting the bottom flap's little tab down past all the horizontal ribs to lay flat, I found to be really difficult. However, it is easy to let it rest on the second to last rib. So that's what I'm doing and the basket is still very sturdy. And finally, more of a heads up than a con. I mounted these on the back of the bike and the first time I used them fully expanded, I didn't lift my leg up & out enough to clear the basket.....ouch!

A suggestion if you're looking to purchase this item .... get a 9"X13" flat piece of cardboard and position it where you plan to attach the basket. Check the bike's frame for at least two locations to attach the basket. Good news is...because of the baskets wire design, any part of the basket can be used as a mounting point.
