Editorial Review

I must confess to a compete lack of objectivity when it comes to the Green Machine. It is hands-down the most fun toy I have ever tried. Basically a re-make of the original Green Machine of decades past, this one has the same lever controlled, rear-wheel steering that allows for crazy hairpin turns, and spectacular spin-outs. Only this time the frame is a bit more sturdy, and the front tire is made of sturdy rubber(the rear tires, alas, are still of old school hollow plastic construction and are destined to wear out far too soon).A few important caveats: though highly maneuverable, this is one set of wheels you will want kids to keep far, far from traffic; cool spinouts also mean uncool wipe-outs, so you should consider having your child wear the same safety gear normally used for rollerblading; and the sometimes iffy brakes need to be carefully adjusted before use.--David Stoesz ...

around the block
I am a 10 year old girl and I got the Green Machine for Christmas. At first I thought it was for a younger child, but then my Dad set the green machine up in the basement. I found myself fliping and turning and going so fast, I couldn't get off! In march I took it outside and the doorbell kept on ringing!All the neighbors wanted to try it(including adults). The Green Machine teaches levers and pulleys with the handles, I kept on experimenting with the brakes. The seat started getting a white crack mark on it, after my dad rode on it alot. It has a nice metal frame and can hold about 180 pounds. I ride the Green machine at least2 hours every week! It will never get boring, it's funner than a bike!The neighbors liked it so much that now there are 4 of them spinning around.

We Love the Green Machine
This is a great toy.I am 7 and I Love it.My sister is 9 and she is ordering hers now.

Disappointment Machine
We bought this for my 6 year old son for Christmas. He got about 4 or 5 good hours of use out of it before the pedals spun but the wheel didn't move. We brought it back to Sports Chalet where we bought it. The repairmen couldn't fix it because it has a fairly unconventional pedal system. Then we learned that Huffy has discontinued this bike. So there are no parts or replacements available. I would not recommend this toy for anyone. ... Read more

Broke within the first 5 minutes
My 8 yr old son was very excited to finally play with this toy since he got it for the holidays and was not able to use it for months.We charged it, latched it and the kids took it into the pool.Within 5 minutes it stopped working and the nosecone filled up with water.We dried it out and it still is no good.I have not contacted the manufacturer yet. ...

Good For A Scooter
This is a good scooter but scooters in general aren't great. It has low ground clearage but that's not so important.It gos pretty fast and the brakes are great. The only thing is Iwouldn't recomend it for older kids 'cause the handlebars don't go that high.

Great for the office too!
As a middle adult geek who grew up on Atari, BMX, MTV and having fun, this thing is great for the office. Why? Well if you have a non-stuffy, no 3 piece suit environment, this is for you. I work in a tech company (big surprise) and we have about 5 of these we use to scoot around the floor on. It's fun and makes going over to a desk or meeting quick. So even though all of us worry about mortgages and layoffs, have some fun and get a scooter. If you buy it for you kid, teach them to wear pads and helmets at all times!!!

Are you sure?
Who came up with this one? I have no doubt that razor scooters are fun, as I've spoken with many kids who love them. And they do look durable. There's no educational value to this toy, but then that's not a requirement of all toys (footballs, pogo sticks, skateboards, and roller skates also have no educational value). However, I have yet to meet a scooter user who doesn't have significant cuts, bruises, scrapes, and/or scars. Those little wheels and pavement breaks just don't mix. I use a wheelchair to get around, and have an excellent working knowledge of how wheels interact with surfaces.Many toys e.g.,
skateboards, bicycles) involve some risk, but scooters seem designed for risk. Just my opinion; take it for what it's worth. But don't say you weren't warned when you take your kid to the emergency room with a broken this or lacerated that! ... Read more

it sux
this scooter breaks easily i bought a buyer protection plan and it did nothing it sux

this scooter stinks like cheese!
i got this scooter with my money. i am riding and i brake and i stop. then i start going and it is bumpy. i look at the wheel and it broke. i barely pulled on the brake and it flattened the wheel. so it puts more strain on the engine making it go SLOW! this is a waste of money DO NOT BUY IT!

Our experience
The store told us there was no weight limit for this scooter.Luckily, my son was w/i the limit but on the high end.It didn't seem to have a lot of power withsomeone on the higher end of the range.Charge didn't last long and my son ended up having to push it if there was much of a hill. ...

Thrill-seekers young and old glide through the air with this deluxetrolley ride. An adult is needed to follow the detailed installationinstructions. Once the 70-foot steel cable is mounted to two trees or otherstable upright supports, the trolley can be grasped for suspended riding fromone point to another. The Fun Ride Deluxe is excellent for building motorskills, upper body strength, and physical confidence. Kids who learn by usingtheir muscles will particularly appreciate the physical activity, and thenatural endorphin release is an additional perk for all users of the trolley.The Fun Ride Deluxe can hold individuals up to 225 pounds, and as one would suspect, adult supervision is required at all times during use. -- Lauren Bernard, mother and elementary school teacher ...

Lots of fun
We stretched it across our pool but we have a stoper in the line so you fall in the pool. we just used some special clamps and a high compression spring. The kids love it because they can fly right into the pool.

Full Disclosure
While I am sure that this product will be a huge hit in our household, we have yet to assemble it.I was not aware that depending on the size of your tree, you may have to buy an additional strap extension for another $11.So, as a word of warning, you'll need to measure your tree first before you order the product.Be prepared to pay more.

Pricey Fun
We bought this for our 8 year old daughter this Christmas.She is having a great time with it, as are the neighbors' kids.I gave it only four stars due to the price.We still can't understand why a plastic handle grip and a length of wire costs $100.Plus, my husband spent an additional $50 on lumber to build the kids a sturdy platform to take off from.But, we spent it and we are enjoying it.We do not have it extended the full 70 feet, but the kids are getting a great ride at 40 feet anyway.Recommended if you want to spend the money. ...

Surprise
I bought this for my niece two years ago and never thought about it or heard about it again.Recently, I went to her soccer game and while she was playing, her brothers were playing with this decorated ball.She had fun decorating it and they all love to play with it!!I was pleasantly surprised.

Cool Look, But won't Last
This seems like a lot of fun, but at the same time most people nowadays are looking for the new cool-looking Adidas or Nike. Plus it probably won't last very long because of the material.

Coming from a kid
Coming from a kid, I must say that this is a wonderful item to have. I got it for my birthday last year and I loved it. I played with all the time. I painted it my own way, and it tought me to be more creative. It looks still liked new, after a year of playing Traveling Soccer. I had my friends sign my soccer ball and now everyone wants to play with it! I love it and if your kid is sporty and has fun painting and stuff...getting this for your kid is a great idea. I loved getting this and so will you! ... Read more

Great ride, but tires wear out fast.
My son loves this thing, but with such a low ground clearance the chain drive catches on the bumps sometimes.The tires lasted about a month with him driving it almost every day.

I did adda switch to it so it now has reverse.Pretty easy, but tough to get an open space inside the engine cover to mount it.

Now I am on the look out for new tires.Hopefully I can get real inflatible tires.Has anyone seen any?

Quit after 4 weeks
Bought Kart for 8yr old daughter.She loves it.Its fun to ride however it quit after 4 weeks.It appears the Electronic Control Module has failed.Its not the circuit breaker.

Great Fun for All Ages!!!
This is a fantastic product!I bought one of these for my own use, hoping that it would carry an adult.Easy to assemble, durable construction, sharp design, very clean and quiet to operate.It fits easily into the tiny trunk of my Honda Civic, and is great fun to ride in the parking lot at work during my lunch breaks.So much fun that I bought two more - one to race, and one as a gift for a friend.All three run very well, whether operated by a child or an adult.Even skeptical adults who have ridden this end up giggling like school children!

Of course, it runs a bit faster when the driver is an 8-year-old child, but it has been plenty of fun for everyone.Even with riders up to 180 lbs., or climbing gentle slopes, I have yet to trip the circuit breaker.I am over six feet tall and can fit easily into the kart, although a bit more legroom would be welcome.(Note: The three karts I purchased have a chain drive, but newer models use a rubber belt instead, so your mileage may vary.)

I cannot wait for Razor to start selling a truly adult-size version of this product.Drive safely! ... Read more

Piece of Junk
We had the Razor 200 for one day before it started breaking down. First the power would shut down, then the power wouldn't shut off.My son lived with it for awhile..holding the break while he shut the motor off with his other hand. Now the Razor doesn't work at all. One day he walked out to get on it and nothing.Nothing worked.We had the Razor 200 for two weeks total and it was a piece of junk from the word go.Don't buy it. I used to be a television consumer reporter and if I was still one today I would investigate this sham of an operation.There are other brands. Pick one..and forget the hassle.

fun well it lasts
the e 200 is a pretty good scooter but has a coupple defaults one that the belt come lose every about a week and after about a mounth the handle bars brake completly in 2 and you have 2 get them whelded or send it back two razor but overall its fun well it lasted.

Awesome little ride!!!
Our Pocket Rocket has really held up. It's the red streak of the neighborhood. All my friends and even their parents have ridden it.My best friend crashed it, but it took the hit really well. Thank goodness you can get parts for it easily. Always wear a helmet!

Editorial Review

Basically a re-tooled Big-Wheel, the Scream Machine has flash, speed, and maneuverability, but with the control and stability younger kids need. It has two fat, plastic rear wheels for maximum skid. The front, though, features a large traction tire that must be inflated. The tire is rubber because of the Scream Machine’s V-type brakes, which are operated from BMX-style, gripped handle bars. These brakes makes it much safer--especially on downhill runs--than bikes with the foot brakes. Leg room is adjusted by slidingthe bucket seat forward or back. The shiny frame, with shocks, is made of high-tensile steel that won’t rust or wear out after the first year. It has to be completely assembled by adults, however. To that end, a detailed instruction book and tools, including a wrench and Allen screwdriver, are included. --Diane Beall ... Read more

GREAT!!!!
I dont understand some of these reveiws..I am 28 years old and 2 of my friends and myself bought the scream machine for nothing but stupidity.. I have done 34MPH on these things, half pipes, ramps - everything against the mfg. warrenty - and It is lasting!! Dont believe me?goto www.brazenvideo.com - click on videos - watch the "Freestyle Big Wheel" video..It shows how tuff these things are!

My one complaint is tires are to thin asnd go really fast depending on how your child will ride this...

Razor customer service sucks!
We bought an electric Razor for our son and he loved it.The circuit board died 6 months later.Customer service was not helpful at all. To fix the piece of junk would cost me $100. So we decided to trash it.What a waste of money!

very disappointed in razor
We bought our three sons Razor Scream Machines for Christmas last year, two of the electric model and one of this model.They have been disappointing for several reasons.First, one of the front inflatable tires, which come preassembled, was unable to be filled with air due to improper assembly of the wheel.We had to take it to a bike repair shop for inflation.Second, one of the electric models will not hold a charge.There seems to be a problem with the charger, but they only have a thirty day warranty. Since we had twelve inches of snow on the ground for the six weeks after christmas, we did not know of the problem until after the warranty had expired. We cannot get anyone at the company on the phone, so we cannot order a replacement. Third problem, on this particular model, every time my child rides it the rear wheel falls off!We have tried on numerous occasions to contact someone at Razor to no avail.They do not provide company contact information in their owner's manual.We went online to try to find a customer service number. They do not have people answering the phones, we had to leave a message--no one ever returns our calls.The bike that loses its wheel is a safety hazard, and the company doesn't seem to care. For this reason alone, I would not recommend this product. ... Read more

Lots of fun
I'm a TRU employee. We recently started using one to get Birthday Club sign ups. I got to use it.

First off I'm heavy set and over the weight limit. It STILL performed very well. Got good speed and can make tight turns in a narrow aisle. Plus it works well at getting people to sign up.

I love using this thing. I used it for almost 2 hours before it started to loose power. My added bulk makes it have to work harder but it still works great.

If a grown adult employee can love this thing I'm certain a ten year old kid would love it too.

Stilt School
After learning how to walk on the stilts, and having seen the eager look on my friends' faces, they encouraged me to begin a stilt school. I taught about 5 of them how to walk on the stilts, and we played fun games. It's really cool to be a foot above the ground! in one part of my basement, my head can skim the ceiling!

great fun
For [the money] I didn't think these stilts would be anything great. My daughter begged for stilts for her 9th birthday, and these were the cheapest pair we could find. I was surprised at how durable they are and how easy it is to adjust the foot rests. It was easy for her to learn how to use these, and she had them up as high as possible after a week of using them.

So Many Nephews to buy for!
I purchased three sets of these stilts for three of my nephews.They were quite the hit and even the parents were excited about the boys getting them.

i hated this toy
this is a bad toy you need to take it back to the drawing board because i think it needs more compartments and more speed.

A Good Scooter
I own one of these scooters, and the scooter holds up well. However, I can't get the tire pressure gauge I own to get through the 12" tire's spokes to check the pressure.
Overall, I give it a 5.

The standard Razor scooter has stuck around long enough to safely move out of the realm of fad status. This slick model, constructed of aircraft grade aluminum, sports 98 mm urethane wheels with ABEC 5 bearings and a rear fender brake. To afford greater portability, it sports collapsible handlebars and folds neatly. Some might choose to own the Razor as a transportation option since it makes for a neat commuting supplement to public transportation or the school bus. But it's also just a neat little thing to have around the house for the occasional spin down the sidewalk or out to the local park. --Charlie Williams ... Read more
