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

Razor MX400 Dirt Rocket Electric Motocross Bike Review

Razor MX400 Dirt Rocket Electric Motocross Bike
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
You would expect the MX400 to be an improvement over the MX350 but having seen my son on both it was clear the old MX350 had a much better design.
The biggest problem with the new bike is that the front and rear suspensions have now been removed and the frame is rigid. So unless your child is only riding on the street, it's a very harsh ride to say the least. You can air down the tire to give you a little more chushion but it's a poor compromise.
The second problem is that the twist throttle is no longer variable speed. The throttle is now a twist version of a light switch. Again this provides very jerky movement of the bike and detracts from the fun a child has while using it.
My recommendation is to buy an older MX350 (if you can find one) or to move up to the MX500 until Razor get these items changed on their latest design. C'mon Razor, I know you can do better than this.

Flexible Flyer PT Blaster Review

Flexible Flyer PT Blaster
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I recently bought several blow-up and plastic snow sleds to try. This one is the favorite of the whole family. While all other sleds go wherever they want, this sled has a steering wheel and indeed goes wherever you want. It also seems very durble - I am 180 lbs and rode it together with my 7 year old daughter, even jumping over snow bumps.

Tired of tubing down the hill with no control or sense of direction? Turn to the Flexible Flyer PT Blaster, a speedy snow sled with a fully functional steering wheel. The PT Blaster lets you easily steer clear of moguls or dips, or steer directly into a jump if you're the adventurous type. And unlike most sleds, the PT Blaster also includes a spring-activated brake that keeps you from cruising too fast on steep hills. Recommended for ages 4 and older, the PT Blaster measures 45 by 18 by 20 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 3.6 pounds.

GoPed Super 46R (Black) Review

GoPed Super 46R (Black)
Average 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.

I purchased my moped from electricwheelstore.com
It was delivered fully assembled, which was great because I do not like to build anything.
I ride the moped about 3 days a week. It has always started and I have not had any problems operating the moped.
I had several questions about the moped and I contacted the service department and was treated very nicely and had all of my questions answered in a timely manner.
This moped has lived up to every expectation I had. With gas prices surging it is nice to have alternative transportation.
This is a great Moped!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sea-Doo Seascooter Explorer Review

Sea-Doo Seascooter Explorer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I read one review on this scooter that was very negative and I think it does not reflect properly on this scooter. First of all, let me go over the negatives. First and foremost is that trying to get a service and repair manual for any sea scooter is near impossible and the Sea Doo explorer is no exception. I contacted Sea Doo, NFM, and other distributors of Sea Doo clones (all of which are manufactured in China) including the distributor who sold me my Explorer, without any luck in obtaining a repair manual. So, if your scooter breaks down you either have to spend the bucks to ship it to have it fixed if it is under warrantee or send it to a sea scooter repair shop if you can locate one. Second negative is the digital battery is a very expensive item to replace but is suppose to give several years use.
So lets talk about the Explorer. It is light years ahead in engineering over the old style Sea Doo's and clones. It's three speed switch is awesome and power comes on immediately unlike the older Sea Doos which slowly power up. Second, changing and charging the battery is a snap and the battery life per charge is twice as long as the original Sea Doo. As to weight, yes it is larger and heavier than the original Sea Doo but once in the water its easy to maneuver and my six year old daughter had no trouble turning it while surface snorkeling.
At high speed, it is as fast as you want to go underwater as the force of water against you will tire you out quickly especially if you are using scuba gear but I found that the middle speed is about perfect for cruising and low speed just about right to keep up with the dog.
For a free diver, this scooter rocks!! It will pull you down quickly (4 ft. per second)
and will go deeper than I would comfortably go without a backup air source (spare air/pony tank) and in fact this scooter will exceed the save diving limits of recreational scuba diving with its maximum depth rating of 160 Ft.. For a free diver this translates to a round trip from the surface to 160' and back up in just a little over one minute and 20 seconds at full power.
I have taken this scooter down over 100', lingered a bit and back up to the surface while free diving but I highly do not recommend this unless you are a disciplined and trained free diver and can make it to the surface without the scooter.
If using scuba gear, this scooter is great in conserving air and getting around but it is best to ascend using your BC and fins and carry your scooter up to the surface to avoid getting bent or injuring your lungs from over expansion especially when nearing the surface after a deep dive or when surface conditions are experiencing high swells.
Another plus for this scooter is the extreme ease to adjust its buoyancy with four cylinder weights and their exterior placement holes so your scooter can either be buoyant to keep the kid at the surface, or negative to go deep.
So, far I have had zero problems with my scooter but I just might be lucky as my older Sea Doo's were always having problems. I recommend diligent servicing of this scooter as you would any of your scuba equipment and follow the service and care recommendations in the user manual.
Bottom line, considering it's price and abilities in comparison to the older generation Sea Doo scooters and the pricey high tech scooters, this scooter is highly recommended for the serious diver who does not want to compromise performance and not have to spend the big bucks to get it!

Engineered to withstand the toughest environments, the Sea-Doo Seascooter Explorer is ideal for both recreational and professional scuba divers. The dive propulsion vehicle runs at a speed of up to 3.3 miles per hour and dives as deep as 160 feet, helping you navigate your way through choppy currents while exploring both deep and shallow dive spots. Snorkelers will also get a kick out of the Explorer, which works as well on the surface as it does underwater. And thanks to the variable three-stage speed control, you can find the speed that works best for your situation--whether at play or at work.
The Explorer comes equipped with a host of safety features, including low-battery voltage protection, over-current protection, high-temperature protection, and audible water ingress alert, an auto shutoff function, and a safety lock. The scooter, which runs for up to two hours per charge, measures 23.5 by 14.6 by 12.2 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 32 pounds. It's also backed by a 180-day warranty on parts and labor.

Product broke during utterly normal use - it just shut down and stopped working on a flat, dry sidewalk three weeks into ownership. Emails and phone calls to the company to set up warranty service have gone unanswered. No phone listed on their website; found their number through some legwork, but only a machine answers, never a real person. For all I know this company doesn't even exist. BEWARE. Roth Motors or whatever should be avoided...don't make the same mistake I did. Inexcusable. Zero stars.

Kettler Scooter Skiddy Review

Kettler Scooter Skiddy
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
It's a decent product, but overpriced.
The main reason I'm writing this review is to share an assembly trick. You are instructed to slide the two yellow rubber handles onto the ends of the handlebar. The problem is that they're too tight to go on. The instructions suggest soaking them in warm water to expand them. I tried several times with increasingly hot water (heated on the stove), but it hardly helped. The only thing that worked was to put the handlebar in the freezer for an hour. Then the rubber handles slipped on with no problem.

Scooters are beloved by kids of all ages, but true young-uns need a scooter designed just for them. Enter the Kettler Scooter Skiddy, which is recommended for children between the ages of 18 months and 4 years. Unlike most scooters, the Scooter Skiddy actually has two wheels in the rear rather than one, adding stability for the average tyke. At the same time, the scooter's heavy-duty footplate is both extra wide--the better to accommodate a young child's unsteady foot--and slip-resistant. The end result is a great scooter for developing a child's all-important balance and coordination. And cost-conscious parents will love the eight-position adjustable handlebar that grows with your child. Thanks to the handlebar, you won't need to give away the scooter just because little Sabine experienced a two-month growth spurt. And finally, the scooter includes a rear footbrake for slowing down. The Scooter Skiddy is backed by a three-year warranty.

I wanted this scooter for my 3 yr old son (bought it for his birthday) b/c it says 3 yrs and up on website BUT the box says it's for 5 and up. I was a little disappointed b/c I could have bought the same scooter from Target store for a lot less money (being on sale and not having to pay for shipping).
Overall, it's a nice scooter but I'm not sure if it's for a 3 yr old.

Go-Ped ESR750EX Electric Powered City Scooter (Multiple Colors) Review

Go-Ped ESR750EX Electric Powered City Scooter (Multiple Colors)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
"Is it heavy?"
"Yes."
"Then put it down, it's expensive."
Yes, this scooter is heavy. And yeah, it's expensive. But it's worth it. I have a gas model as well, but it's far too noisy to ride at night. I can cruise up and down the street on this at 3 AM, and not bother a soul.
The front disc brake is incredibly responsive. I've already had to perform a few "emergency stops," and the brake worked just fine. I weigh 220 lbs, and this scooter doesn't seem to be straining to move or stop me, which I like.
Another reviewer mentioned that this scooter seems like something that someone would build in their backyard. I completely disagree with that statement. This has a solid frame, folding handlebars (which allow you to carry the scooter like a suitcase), a motor that will propel you to 20 mph (18 or 19 if you're my weight), mechanical disc brake that actually WORKS, and the throttle has three indicator LEDs to let you know the status of your batteries.
This is not a thrown-together garage project. This is a finely crafted (in the USA), well-finished product. Oh, and Go-Ped's customer service is absolutely top notch. If something's wrong, they'll make it right.

Whether you're looking for a more energy-efficient way to cruise the neighborhood or you just love yourself a little scooter style, the Go-Ped ESR750EX electric scooter is an ideal choice. The 2008 version of the city scooter includes a host of improvements over earlier incarnations, including an innovative self-adjusting chain tensioner, significantly thicker and more powerful rare Earth magnets, and a higher rpm operation to improve efficiency. Add these improvements to the original design--which won the 2004 Electric Scooter of the Year award from Electric Scooter World--and you have a terrific long-range scooter for both adults and kids.
The scooter owes its powerful performance to its ESR engine, which is equipped with a robust and well-proven DC brush-type motor with an "Electro Head" finned heat sink. The motor is capable of producing more than 1 horsepower in continuous operation and reaching top speeds of more than 20 miles per hour (in Turbo mode), with thrilling levels of acceleration. The high output also helps the scooter tackle steep hills with ease--a rarity among many electric scooters. The auto-adjusting chain tensioner, meanwhile, incorporates a longer, spring-loaded slot with consistent yet gentle slack elimination to effortlessly stop chain derailments. In the process, the chain adjuster accommodates greater chain "slactitudes" commonly found with various sprocket combinations and changing chain conditions.
From a purely functional perspective, the ESR750EX offers two performance modes and an electronic controller. The rider can choose the Econo mode to go twice as far, half as fast (12 miles per hour), or select the Turbo mode to reach speeds of 20-plus miles per hour. The Turbo mode offers a range of roughly eight miles per charge, while the Econo mode checks in at roughly 12-plus miles. Once you arrive at your destination, simply plug the scooter into any 110-volt or 220-volt household power outlet and its onboard "smart charger" will take over. The ESR750EX is also equipped with a computerized, programmable variable-speed controller. With a wide variety of EPROM (Eraseable Programmable Read Only Memory) functions, the controller gives the user the freedom to do not only onboard diagnostics, but also customize performance.
Other features include an aircraft-quality Chromyl frame, a patented cantilevered Chromyl fork, pneumatic 10-inch TT tires, magnesium rims, and a Mad Dog disc braking system. And at only 59 pounds, the ESR750EX still offers the best range-to-weight ratio of any electric scooter in the world. Equipped with a folding frame for easy transport and storage, the ESR750EX measures 48 by 41 by 18 inches (W x H x D) and offers a weight capacity of 400 pounds.

Razor Spark Scooter Blue Bundle Review

Razor Spark Scooter Blue Bundle
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
In my opinion, this scooter is overly expensive. It should be around $50 since an original scooter only costs about $25 at my local store. It also should be cheaper since you need to buy spark cartridges every few months. The cost value of this item is almost $200. Since every two months, the spark cartridge is empty and you need to buy a new one or then it will become a regular scooter. The design is very nice. I like how easy it is to fold it or adjust the height of the scooter. The safety is excellent since it does not slip when it is raining and it is kind of hard to get yourself on fire with this thing. This comes in pink or blue. The noise of the scooter is very low compared to other scooters I have had before. It almost is like a Toyota Prius. Taking everything into consideration, I would recommend this product since your kid will enjoy it and it is very safe and easy to use.

BladeFish 5000 DPV Sea Scooter Review

BladeFish 5000 DPV Sea Scooter
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
First of all - Yes I own a bladefish. I have tried it in a pool, I have tried it snorkeling in the ocean, and I have tried it in full scuba gear at 100' down.
Pros : Compact, light, portable, great for snorkeling, uses lithium batteries, near zero maintenance (just need to lube a couple of o-rings), good battery life, and quick charging.
Cons: although a great snorkeling accessory - this scooter is an underpowered recreational scuba scooter. You find yourself constantly wanting to fin (just like in all the advertisements and demos you see with this thing) just to keep the fish from laughing at you. Yes it will pull you in full scuba gear - very slooooooooowwwwwwwwly and no where near their claims. Your constant desire to fin will negate much of the positive aspects of a scooter - to conserve air and to have fun! Don't get me wrong - I so wanted this to be the awesome amazing magic scooter invention that cures all the woes of the traditional diver propulsion vehicle (DPV).
I am frankly outraged at the bold faced lies that the recreational scooter manufacturers are allowed to use. Those of us just getting into using a scooter and into diving are not often engineers and we trust the manufacturers... well.. at least we kind of do. We are looking for something fun and the claims of 3.75 miles per hour sure sounds fun - If it could actually do it! I'm ashamed to say that bladefish does not have integrity on their side in this claim. COME ON BLADEFISH -How about if I tell everyone what you don't want them to know.
Let's just be real and talk some math shall we? If you understand speed of a scooter in water you have to understand the concept of thrust. There is a direct correlation between the thrust provided by a scooter and the speed of a scooter as shown by all the hard work of those great guys in the TAHOE BENCHMARK where divers work for days to make sure scooters are given a fair shake and tried in real conditions by both tech and recreational trials.(shouldn't the manufacturers be doing this?)
In order for the bladefish to even come remotely close to its claims of 3.75 mph you would have to travel at 330 feet per minute - which would require thrust equivalent to having X over .00065 to the nth root where 2.08 is n. If you do the math to figure out what X (THRUST) is.... that would mean you would need 112.5699 pounds of thrust. (which if you understand - that amount of thrust would probably rip your mask off - and pull your arms so hard you could get injured - you definately wouldn't be trailing behind it feeling the need to kick) Just watch the demo videos - is that what you see?
That large amount of thrust is required because as the speed increases it gets proportionally harder to pull something through a dense liquid at faster speeds. It only takes 70 pounds of thrust to pull a scooter through the water at near 3mph... but it takes an enormous 113 pounds of thrust to pull only .75 miles faster. (which is what the equation basically shows)
Currently there is only one scooter I know of that comes close to the 3mph mark and has the stats to back it up. That would be the Silent Submersion Magnus which retails for over six thousand dollars and puts out 70 pounds of thrust and 1000 watts! (and weights 4-5 times more because of the large lithium ion battery needed to power such an engine!) Other scooters in that category are the x-dive series of scooters which also sport impressive speeds of over 260 feet per minute. (yet none of them make the false claim of 330 feet per minute!)
Remember the bladefish only puts out 240 watts, and very little thrust. Even if you were a keebler elf shaped torpedo you would have a hard time breaking 1mph. Don't be fooled by some video of people kicking with it. This is a snorkeling accessory or a suped up pool toy that I wouldn't let my kids play with. (do you let them play with a circulating fan at home?) In all honesty it is not as dangerous as a circulating fan because you need both hands to turn it on. (Which is only one more negative thing for scuba)
IF you don't believe me -or the math - then just try it. You will be using amazon's return policy as soon as you can get your scuba gear off. There is no denying the math. I would love to see any bladefish representative explain how they got that figure for speed. Don't be fooled - it does not go 3.75 miles per hour unless it is towed by a boat.
My hats off for pushing the envelope of design, for pushing the industry to lithium ion batteries, and for making the first truly portable scooter. I know in the future you will design one that is made with scuba in mind and the power to back it up. The bottom line is if you're a snorkeler or a rapid diver - this is a great tool. Scuba divers should probably move on to something more powerful.
