SANSIRP Swing Wiggle Scooter, 3 Wheel Kick Scooter with Adjustable Height&Front Brake Swing Foldable Drifting Scooter for Girls/Boys/Adult Age 8+

It's a surprise birthday gift for my daughter. She couldn’t wait to take it out and play with it when she received it. At first she was a little scared, but later she played very well and she really likes it.

FINAL UPDATE: ok...so 1 year and 11 months later, with no offer from the company to fix, or repair under warranty, the scooter has finally given up the ghost and broken completely. After all the fixes and maint., the welds on the front of the scooter where the swiveling occurs, have snapped (see pictures) and one of the leg extension bars has cracked. I have since lost weight and used it, most of the time, with a body weight around 208 - 210 pounds. I have ridden it a totally of 50 times; each for 30 minutes or so for a total of 25 hours and in that time I have had to re-engineer it, repair, grease it and finally, get hurt on it because the welds snapped while riding it and this caused the thing to spin out of control and launch me off. AT best, if you want this for any length of time, don't get it if you are over 150 pounds.first, I am not picking on this item...I do like it...it is fun to use and is something different. Used properly, I can get it up to about 20km/h and climb very mild grades. I cannot really climb what one would consider a hill, because this item is not made like the more expensive competition in that the front wheel and steering is not set up for extreme stress that it takes to walk one of these up a real hill.That brings me to my issues. The brakes are single front wheel and will stop it eventually, but if you need it to stop in a reasonable or emergency situation you must either hop off of drag one foot.The construction and weight limit. This item is rated for 250 lbs person to use. I cannot see how it could last very long with someone that heavy. I am 220 lbs, and in three weeks I have found that the handlebar brace snapped cast nub that keeps the bars for rolling forward or back. I now have to really tighten the bracket to keep them in place, keeping in mind to do it slowly so that I do not strip that aluminum threads.The foot pads are also an issue...not specifically that they are made of plastic..this seems to be holding up. The problem is that they are attached to the metal foot tubes via 4 half inch tapered metal screws that thread through metal tabs into the soft plastic foot pad. These, I have found, work themselves loose almost immediately. They really cannot be tightened because they then strip out the hole in the plastic. These should have had a nut, washer, and bolt or screws setup that went all the way through the plastic foot pads so that there was nothing that could strip out. In less than three weeks I have worn all the screws loose to the point that the plastic foot pads wiggle around. Soon the screws will drop out and I will not be able to use this anymore. The more expensive competition saw fit to make these foot pads metal and to weld them onto the tubes so that they will not go anywhere. I am disappointed because I was just starting to have fun on this thing and burn some celeries. This is too much money to spend for three weeks of use.I have to say that even if I only weighed 100 points, the wiggle motion and weight shifting involved in propelling this thing will work the screws loose regardless of the weight of the rider eventually.Update: I have found that I had to alter the footpad mounts by drilling holes all the way through them and installing stainless screws with flat washers and locking nuts in order to sold the loose footpad issue.I have run into another issue that the typical person would not know how to handle. The handlebars and the associated bearings tend to take a tone of wear because you are constantly leaning back and forth and steering to climb. I found that at about the 4 week point the head bearings (two bearings that are in the handlebar area that are responsible for allowing the handlebars and thus the front wheel to turn) started to squeak like metal to metal squeaking. I had to dis-assemble the handlebars and the head unit to inspect the two bearings. When I got this apart, I found that these were not sealed bearings (did not really expect them to be as most cheaper bikes and scooters will not spend the extra money) , but they were open like old car wheel bearings. They had no grease or lubricant of any kind and the bearing surfaces were starting to show rust. There should be grease here. I had to pack the bearings and re-install...I should not have to do this...this should come with grease on these bearings. Without it, the bearings would have failed in short order. Just not acceptable.

This seems very solid. However, the advertisement says 250lbs, but the scooter is actually 220lbs.

I own a $400 Trikke but every year it is a struggle to start using it. I'm out of shape and at 5'3" really not tall enough to power it against even a small head wind without some major practice. I decided to look for something lighter that an adult could ride this year. This fits the bill perfectly, in fact it is the ONLY one I found that would work. The multi swivel wheels take a bit of getting used to and the distance between the foot pads is very short. I find myself lifting one off the ground to get enough speed, but it is a good core workout until I build up enough strength to get back on my big boy. While it is more sturdy than most I've seen, I doubt it will last the Summer due to the amount of torque I have to apply to get it moving.

UPDATE: AODI/SANSIRP contacted me and they are replacing the scooter under warranty after the standard emails and pictures of the weld that failed - there was just some disconnect from the Amazon and email side of things that once resolved they took care of things extremely fast - my daughter comes home from camp on Sunday, she will be so excited!One of the welds that hold the spring-loaded knob in place to lock out the scooter broke and it is unusable after only 3 months and less than 20 miles of use. I have sent a few emails to the manufacturer with zero response.

I loved the speed that this could get up to and it becomes very easy to control once you’ve gotten used to the movements and trusting the breaks and durable stability of the scooter. Assembly and put away is easy to do and it doesn’t take up much space to store.

They loved it and it exceeded there expectations

very interesting scooter, kids love it. Easy to assemble, easy to operate, both adults and kids love it!
