This scooter is really adorable, but not as practical as I would like. The 3 wheel scooter design seems like it would be more stable, but since 2 wheels are in the back it is actually more difficult for kids to ride. My daughter kept crashing this scooter, but was doing fine on my son's radio flyer scooter. I watched her ride both & realized it was because the radio flyer has 2 wheels in front & 1 in back, while this scooter has 1 wheel in front & 2 in back. She had to reach her foot out around the back wheels to be able to push this scooter and as a result kept getting it off balance & crashing. She is too big for a radio flyer scooter, so we got her a 2 wheel Razor Sweat Pea & she is doing great with it. My advice is to pass on this one even though it is adorable. For little ones I would get a scooter with 2 wheels in the front like the radio flyer & for older kids get a 2 wheel scooter.

I bought this for my 4yr old's birthday and it was a hit. She's been riding around in it constantly and can't wait for warmer weather so she can take it to the park. I like how the base is wider than other scooters so it is easy for both her feet to get on it easily and for better balance. The material is very good quality and seems very durable. I think she will be ridign around on it for quite some time...at least until she outgrows it. Even my 17 month old loves going on a ride!

The Huffy Disney Princess Scooter is a steelframed scooter designed to help youngsters get used to the scooter concept before they move on to the twowheeled variety. This warmup scooter features the immensely popular Disney Princess theme, making it an instant hit with young girls everywhere.

The Huffy Disney Princess Scooter is sold disassembled with the pieces in a small box. Putting everything together isn't too difficult, but the process would be much easier if the instructions were clearer. The instructions don't walk you through the assembly process step by step. Instead, they show you a diagram with the different parts pulled apart from the scooter so that consumers can see what goes on first, second, third, etc. This eventually works, but it would have been much better if the instructions were stepbystep and if the images were larger.

As for the product itself, it offers a large footplate with a noslip design and it has a very cute appearance that young girls will love. I like the skateboardsize footplate and the sturdy, steel frame. The third wheel is nice because it keeps the scooter steady while kids learn how to ride and maneuver. Parents don't need to worry so much that their little one will fall offthe third wheel helps keep the scooter upright while in use.

The Huffy Disney Princess Scooter has adjustable handlebars, but adjusting the height takes a little bit of work and it is possible that some of the other parts will fall off as you make your adjustment. This is another area where the scooter deserves a small amount of criticism. One example is the flimsy plastic piece that acts as a guard and is placed over the handlebaradjustment bolt. It doesn't lock into place very well and is easily moved around. Then, there is the adjustment bolt itself. It is somewhat annoying to work with because there is almost no clearance space. The nut and washer that go on the end leave almost no space to thread and tighten the bolt.

The Huffy Disney Princess Scooter is a cute, fun scooter that offers safety while preparing youngsters for the day when they decide to graduate to the twowheeled variety. It isn't perfect, for the reasons stated above, but it does have many good qualities and my little girl loves it. These positive qualities are reason enough to consider making this purchase for your preschool age child.

Honest reviews on Huffy Disney Princess Scooter, Pink/Purple, 6-Inch

We ordered this as a Christmas gift for our 4 year old, and as the holiday was approaching, i kept reminding my husband to put it together, and not wait till the last minute (just in case)....well, naturally on Christmas eve, he was putting it together, and sure enough, a nut was missing from the box :( doh! Thankfully, he had one in the garage to fit it, as this was a gift from the "big guy" and needed to be under the tree by morning. I know things like this happen, and it turned out to be no big deal...just a heads up to those of you that might wait till the last minute to put it together :)

That aside, it is a wonderful little scooter, cute colors, cute accessories...the tassels and the little pouch (for her treasures) really make the scooter special! i like the wider base for her feet, with the "training" wheel set up for beginners. We live in the mountains, and there are no sidewalks, so we take it to town with us often, and she rides it at Grandmas house (large rooms with wooden floors) and she loves it!

To the woman that said her daughter broke her femur riding this...i am sad to hear this, but curious as to how fast she was going to break a femur bone on this little scooter? Unless you are going down a steep sloped hill, i dont see how you could pick up enough speed on this little gem to do such damage. Never-the-less, our daughter wears long pants and a helmet to be safe...and she Loves it! I think she will get a few good years out of this before graduating up to the 2-wheel version, and im glad we purchased it!

This is a great product, but the assembly instructions are pictures with no explanation. The tools provided by the company are also lacking. Make sure you have a 1/2" socket set and wrench if you want to quickly assemble this product. The 2 "wrenches" they provide for assembly are little metal pieces which are rough on the hands, especially when you are trying to tighten down bolts. All-in-all, the product is great but just make sure you have your own tools for assembly.

I received one that turned out to be defective. It was past the 30 day return window, so I was stuck with it. Be sure to install and check for "popping" or noisy play in the pawls/bearings before the return window. package was a little checked up, but still looked ok, live and learn.

(noisy when pedaling under load, which should be silent...ticking during coasting is normal and expected, this was abnormal inconsistent irritating noise that vibrated through the bike!!! pop pop creak pop)

I was extremely pleased with this rain jacket and I found it to be better than other lightweight rain jackets I have had in the past. It is made of a material that resists water but has miniscule breathing ability to allow air and keeps me from perspiring as I did in other rain jackets. The only thing I miss is pockets. This jacket has none. But the hood is detachable and that is an added convenience.

Honest reviews on Frogg Toggs PA63102-01SM Pro Action

I wore out one Frogg Toggs when the zipper broke on the jacket and it was more expensive to replace the zipper than buy a new one. So this one was a replacement for the jacket. The jacket will be used on a fishing trip to Canada. The jacket is fine. The original one had the ability to hide the hood in the jacket. This one the hood can disassemble from the jacket. Otherwise it remains on the back of the jacket. The only other difference is that the material seems to be stiffer. However, with use this may change. All in all, this is a good jacket for rain at a reasonable price.

Review of WTB Weirwolf Tire

WTB Weirwolf 2.3 Race Tire
Customer Ratings: 4 stars
Buy Now
The WTB Weirwolf has a great tread design for hard pack snow and dirt, it works well in sand and is awesome through the rocks. It's not good in the mud as it tends clog very quickly and needs to be cleaned by hand.

The greatest disapointment was the fact that my 2.5" tire's only measure 2.35" so my $75.00 expense to get the widest tire's that will fit my frame was a waste of money, as my 2.3" WTB Exiwolf tires were in fact 2.3", they perform as well in all conditions and I never had to stop to clean the 3lbs of mud out of the tread. I became a fan of WTB products with my SpeedVee seat and my original Nano tires but the Weirwolf has been something of a let down.

I would not reccomend this tire because of the size and mud issues.

I replaced Panaracer Fires that I had been using for several years with this Weirwolf 2.3. I immediately noticed better front grip and a better turning arc while I still had a Panaracer fire in the rear. So, I say to myself, if it works well up front maybe I will put one on the rear too. So I did (a 2.1) and I am not sure it is the best combination.

Other reviews say the tire is a little strange when you lean it hard into a turn first slipping a little and then biting well. I have not gotten past the squirreley feeling to get to the grip. It is very unsettling and while I did not notice it with the Panaracer in the rear, I do now. I rode an exposed side hill single track over the weekend and there were moments I was not comfortable with the grip.

The tire rolls great and is just as fast and the tires they replaced and I notice that climbing is better but that just may be due to the 2.3 replacing a 2.1 on the front. No tendency to "scritch" while climbing on the rear.

I am going to give the combination a solid try before I change anything again... maybe I am just uncomfortable with change.

Sizing is inaccurate, I have 2.1s on now and mounted a 2.3, then compared the two with my caliper and I can't measure a difference. No complaints about the tires as I have ridden them for 3 years straight, they are great on every kind of terrain.

Honest reviews on WTB Weirwolf Tire

I got a pair of 2.1's for my Avalanche awhile ago.

Yes the bead is extremely tight and they are hard to put on, but I was able to do so with a couple metal tire levers. It wasn't too terrible, but if you're someone who needs to switch out tires frequently it could be a hassle.

I will also agree that these tires get clogged with mud quite easily. It's incredibly annoying. However, when they are clean and the trails are dry, you will get excellent traction.

I've used these tires for a few months of daily riding and they aren't showing any signs of wear yet. I'm a fan of WTB tires and seats.

The TCS version is a well made tire. I have the 2.5 (2.2-2.3 at best) TCS 29er tires front (24psi) and rear (30psi). They are perfectly and amazingly bouncy when set up tubeless. Running these tires with tubes is not nearly as senstive as tubeless. Of course some may not notice such subtle things. I ride a hard tail 29er and with these fatties, I get the the right amount of suspension for the trails I ride-intermediate, technical single track. They way they soak up bumps is brilliant. The side rails of the tread are not much use for me in dry conditions. THey bite well in moist, pack conditions.

Until I find a real 2.5 made this well, I'll likely buy another set.

Nicely made, looks almost OEM, and provides a sturdy platform for my iPhone holder. Very nice. One issue with my particular installation is that the iPhone holder interferes a bit with the small tank storage door when everything's in place.

I love this scooter. I bought it for my 7 year old son, but I find myself riding it frequently. The larger wheels make it roll easily over bumps and cracks in our sidewalk. The sturdy frame gives me confidence in its stability over the old folding design as he gets older and more daring. It doesn't rattle so much as it rolls down the road as lower Razor models.
