Silver Rider 12" Trike with Protective Gear Review

Silver Rider 12 Trike with Protective Gear
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I just picked up two of these trikes. As soon as I saw them in person, I knew it was a quality item, and here's why: First, it's made in the USA, which is harder to find these days. Second, it's SOLID AS A ROCK! The frame is welded tubular steel, like you'd find on a truck's grill guard, or a high-quality mountain bike. The tires are solid rubber, so you don't have to worry about air, ever. The handlebar joint has a hard plastic cover that prevents pinch-points. The rear wheels are so far apart, I don't think it's possible to tip over. In short, this 27-pound trike is not your average plastic throw-away toy, and that's why it's more expensive. This will be in your family or circle of friends for generations, as opposed to a few months with a cheaper, plastic alternative. For my kids, I want to buy solid, long-lasting items, made in the US whenever I can, and this purchase was a great start. Note: I did not purchase the package deal with protective gear, so I can't review those items.

While a great product, do not pay this price. Any Segway dealer can get it for you for about 1K less.

Play side by side with your foursome instead of splitting up into two carts with the Segway x2 Golf, your solution to effortless maneuverability on the course. The x2 Golf is equipped with deeply treated, turf-friendly tires that let you travel on the grass and off the cart path for a faster game. As a result, you can zip from the tee to the sand dunes to the green in no time. It even includes a higher ground clearance than the original Segway, helping it handle steep hills, uneven trails, and errant rocks. If you're a golfer, you'll love it. If you're not a golfer, you'll want to go along for the ride.
As with the traditional Segway, the rider controls the x2 Golf by leaning slightly in any direction. To move forward or backward, lean slightly forward or back. To turn left or right, simply move the LeanSteer frame left or right. You get the same sense of power and speed as riding in a vehicle, but you also feel safe and absolutely in control. Best of all, the x2 Golf can take you places that a car or bicycle can't, including inside many stores, office buildings, businesses, airports, and trains.
The x2 Golf is also equipped with a couple of golf-specific accessories to enhance your golfing experience. The golf bag carrier attachment, for example, secures your golf bag to the x2, yet still allows for easy dismount and club access while playing. In addition, the x2 includes a scorecard holder that keeps your scorecard, golf balls, and tees readily accessible. And as a final bonus, the x2 Golf puts you well above the greens, giving you a terrific perspective on the various breaks and dips. So do away with clunky carts and get mobile on the course with the Segway x2 Golf.
Specifications:
Tires: 8 inches wide
Max speed: 12.5 miles per hour
Range: Up to 14 miles or 36 holes
Footprint: 21 by 33 inches
Weight: 120 pounds

Sunrise Yellow - bicycle safety flag - Large Review

Sunrise Yellow - bicycle safety flag - Large
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The flag is very well made and is highly visible. The flag pole is sturdy and just a little bit larger in diameter than the standard pole that came with my Greenspeed GTO which unfortunately meant that it would not fit on the receiver the is built in to the trike. Dan from Purple Sky quickly came up with a pole adapter that solved the problem. I have one large Orange and one large Yellow flag for a second trike and they both are highly visible in daylight and at night. Great service, high quality, and highly recommended.

I have had several mopeds over the years.
This moped has proven to be the best one yet.
I like the style of this moped and the ride.
It is very dependable and enjoyable to ride.
This moped is very easy to operate and care for.
All I do is plug it in and check the air in the tires every couple of weeks.
This is the best moped I have owned!

Apollo AV-2 Evolution Diver Propulsion Vehicle (SLA) Review

Apollo AV-2 Evolution Diver Propulsion Vehicle (SLA)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have owned three AV-1 over the last 15 years and have probably logged over 2,000 dives since I started diving. These scooters are both practical and fun. They can even get you out of a sticky situation from time to time. I rarely dive without one of my scooters these days as I have grown so accustomed to them. They are extremely durable and easy to operate. I dive in south Florida and typically dive between 8'-150' in high current drift dives. The AV-1 is simple and a great tool for these dives when lobstering. The AV-2 Evo has a longer burn time and comes with a saddle for hands free diving. The AV-2 also has a battery life indicator which consists of a three color LED on the nose of the cover.
Plus:
durable
improves bottom time (reduce air consumption)
cover way more bottom
no more CO2 headaches!
improves safety (if used correctly)
Negative:
cost between $1900 - $3800 depending on model (but worth it)
requires some mechanical know how
DO NOT USE FOR ASCENT!!!
Your friends will want to borrow it all the time!
Tips:
attach a SS snap clip to front handle for drift line with hook
make a cradle for transporting in truck or boat (they roll and slide)
keep o-rings clean and lubed
don't let friends borrow it - they will break it or not give it back!
keep battery full charged
get the NiMh battery - you will be happy you did!

This is the best gift I could have gotten for my husband. With his recent surgeries he wasn't able to go fishing, until the Cruzin Cooler was delivered. He immediately decided he needed the "trailer" to haul the extras needed for fishin' on the bridge. Everyone there now wants to know how to get one of these. Thank you so much, made his day.

These paddles are a good idea for propelling a scooter board, but they are very hard to use. My child has upper body weakness, but even the neighborhood children had trouble propelling themselves with these paddles. It is a bit too hard to make it fun.

GoPed Super 46R (Black) Review

GoPed Super 46R (Black)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Very fast and high quality plenty of power for teens and adults!
Item arrived a few days after the delivery estimate window, so GoPed refunded my shipping charges.
I installed an expansion chamber, iridium spark plug, tuned the carburetor, and raised the compression.
The wheels don't come balanced which is a fail because this Go Ped is fast.. I suggest you get a strip of 1/4oz sticky weights from a tire shop and balance them yourself. You don't want to be hopping all over the road at 30+ mph.
Also check the chain tension because mine came from the factory over tightened. The throttle was not adjusted either and didn't open up all the way.
Make sure you follow the break in process and use the recommended type and amount of gas/oil mix.

Marky Sparky Skoooch - Red Metallic Review

Marky Sparky Skoooch - Red Metallic
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a really great toy; it's perfect for the active child or for one you wish to be more active. I just wish it came in XXL so that I could "ride" with my grandkids. I had a really hard time finding one until I searched Amazon, but I did get the best price through Amazon and it arrived really quickly. It was easy to put together, or so my husband says, and the kids love it. I bought it for my three year old granddaughter, but my nine year old grandson loves it too. Even my teenaged nephews couldn't resist playing with it. I highly recommend the Skoooch. (Until this, I didn't realize that there was an English word with three "Os" in the middle.)

Yellow City Cruiser Kickbike Review

Yellow City Cruiser Kickbike
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Did you like scooters when you were a kid? No, I mean the non-powered kind that you push with your feet. That's what the Kickbike is, an adult-sized scooter with bigger wheels. And yes, it IS pretty fun to ride, especially when you get a decent slope to go down.
It's not quite as fast as a bicycle (but still much faster than walking), and it takes a little more effort than a bike, especially going uphill. But it is fun, anyway, and naturally, it gets GREAT gas mileage. ;-)
There's no chain, gears, or pedals to worry about, so the only maintenance necessary is for the tires, wheels, and brakes. The tires on the City Cruiser are fairly thin (to reduce rolling friction), so this version really is intended for relatively smooth surfaces, and not off-roading. Nor is it well-designed for trick-riding or stunts.
The basket that comes with the City Cruiser is a little on the small side, but it is a fairly fine-mesh type of basket compared to a regular bike basket (although you could probably add a regular basket if you wanted to). Also, there's a bracket opening near the rear wheel you can use to run a chain through so you can lock it up (it's hard to tell in the pictures).
This thing is great for grown-up kids, and is sure to get people's attention.

Bought one 3 months ago, it has had multiple problems! Finally just wouldn't work at all. So I contacted them (hey it was within the 3 month warranty) they didn't get back to me (after much nagging) for a month. Finally did and had me ship it to them (at my cost $[...]), then said it was my fault it broke (even though it had problems from the start). Then held it for ransom basically and were going to charge me [...] bucks to fix it!! These guys may have some zealot users out there trying to convince everyone the scooter is awesome - but believe me its not and the company is horrible!

This product is great for children to expel some extra energy while gaining some trunk support, arm strenght, and leg strength (and coordination). My kids LOVE it! They use it in the house on the pergo floor and outside on the sidewalk. You can use it lying down on your tummy, sitting on it and walking with your feet, or take turns pushing each other! It is fun, easy, and inexpensive!

Giro Rift Bike Helmet Review

Giro Rift Bike Helmet
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Figure I'd give this helmet a try due to the light weight and very adequate venting. The design and dial in fit for the back is standard design for bicycle helmets in this price range.
HOWEVER for anyone with large heads (>60cm) be warned that this helmet will not fit you!! I have a large head which is 60.5cm, and the helmet even with the loosest dial setting in the back barely fit my head and it looked like a mushroom on top of that. The description says "universal fit", which is incorrect. Had to return it. And went with another VERY POPULAR 4 letter brand (brand sold here on Amazon and has an even bigger name in the Bike accessory industry since the invention of the telephone by the inventor Alexander Graham....) which I know has a "universal fit" that truly does have settings for even the largest heads.
BTW - I normally take a size XL with motorcycle helmets

Click Here to see more reviews about: Giro Rift Bike Helmet

The Giro Rift bike helmet is an ideal choice for riders who want cool comfort and rugged good looks without breaking the bank. The helmet is made using Giro's in-mold construction, which fuses the helmet's outer shell with an impact-absorbing EPS liner. Not only does this reinforce both layers, but the "exoskeleton" also allows Giro to engineer helmets that are lighter, more durable, and better ventilated. The helmet also employs Giro's patented Acu Dial fit system, which hugs the back of your head and reduces the tendency of your helmet to shift forwards or backwards. Unlike most system, the Acu Dial's design provides adjustable tension independent of the helmet straps. This means you don't have to overtighten the straps to enjoy a snug, comfortable fit. The bike's premium features conclude with a whopping 24 cooling events, keeping you well ventilated on both short and long rides.
About Giro Working late nights in his garage, designer/bike racer Jim Gentes created the first lightweight adult cycling helmet in 1985. Friends at NASA helped tune the final helmet shape and vent placement, and the result was the Giro Prolight, a helmet that was better looking than traditional designs while offering a superior fit and still met the industry's toughest safety standards. Plus, it was half the weight of traditional helmets. Since then, Giro has advanced its helmets, many of which have set the standards for styling, function, and innovation for progressive, performance-oriented riders on dirt, pavement, and snow. Giro helmets are worn by millions of riders, cyclists, skiers, and snowboarders around the world. Young-bloods and old-timers; hard-cores, heshers, and hipsters; rookies, experts, and a few regular Joes too--in fact, pretty much anyone that appreciates superior fit and function, cutting edge styling, and the very best ideas you get in a helmet.
