Customer Reviews

First, this toy definitely requires the rider to be wearing a helmet and I would also strongly recommend knee and elbow pads. As the description states, the rider drives straight and then pulls on the bar which results in a wicked spin out. Beware however that the rider will spin quickly and if they are close to anything when they pull this bar (such as a parked car), they could spin right into it. My husband was able to assemble the trike without any difficulty. What I noticed right away was this toy was really light weight. Our 6 (almost 7) year old son thought it was incredibly cool to ride. Unfortunately however the handlebar assembly snapped literally in my son's hand while he was in spinout mode making the bike completely inoperable (lightweight materials do have their downside). This occurred after only about 3 uses. There is clearly a lot of force placed on the handlebar when the rider is spinning out. We contacted Radio Flyer directly and they were aware of this problem (they thought they had resolved it before marketing the product) and sent the appropriate replacement parts. It took a while to disassemble the bike to install the new handlebar however it was worth the effort because our son really loves this trike. All in all, a very enjoyable toy and major thumbs up to Radio Flyer for standing behind their product and quickly replacing the defective parts.
Update....After several more uses, all tires are wearing out very prematurely. This trike will be inoperable after a few more uses as the tires, which are nearly bald, will have absolutely no tread left. Considering how expensive this trike was, I'm actually disappointed in the overall durability of this toy. It's still a lot of fun, just don't expect to have more than two months of serious play time with it.
2nd update - handle bar broke AGAIN. Had to send it back to the company for their quality assurance unit to inspect. They sent a replacement scooter (free) that our son loved.

Very fun bike for my 11 and almost 3 year old. The intended use is for 5 to 8 year olds but the bike is sturdy enough to hold my 11 year old boy and even though my 3 year old can't reach the pedals yet, she LOVES to pull on the spin handle and lift the bike up about 2 inches. The bike is easy to put together as my 11 year old did it all by him self with me only checking to ensure bolts were properly tightened. The spin lever works by lifting the bike off of the main back wheels and on to the smaller roller wheels making it spin out. I would say the only area of dissapointment is that the front wheels and main back wheels are plastic. If you are old enough to remember the 'Big Wheel', it is just like the wheels on those. It looks pretty odd to me as the rest of the bike has a sturdy metal frame and yet these cheap plastic wheels. I would have liked to see proper rubber tires.
