Review on Morgan Cycle Classic Steel Rubber by James Eledge

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Stunning durable high quality classic red wagon

When I decided to buy my son's first red wagon I decided to do a little research first. I looked at a variety of product and manufacturer options to include in-store options. I ended up buying this red Morgan van online through Revain. The main reason for this choice was simply that the Morgan seemed to be the strongest and most durable all-rounder I had ever considered. This was of great importance to us, especially as we live in countries that are largely unimproved; So our van had to be able to withstand the rigors of driving over this type of terrain, if you will. I was sure our earth would just eat any plastic cart for breakfast. We needed something far more powerful than either of those options. We also wanted to buy something that would seem to stand the test of time. So we wanted something permanent. Oddly enough, it's interesting to note that there were no Morgan reviews prior to my purchase, at least I couldn't find any. I really wasn't sure why that was; Was it some kind of mystery or just a few people buying it compared to other options? I'm not sure, but since I was satisfied with the product, the lack of a review seemed somehow unjustified. For this reason I have decided to add a product to the Revain product list to help others who may be considering a similar purchase. So. For the car. I can report that the Morgan Classic Red Van variant is a really solid and durable product. Granted, we've only had it for about a week or so, but it's holding up well when we're carrying our son around in it. We walk up and down the most neglected parts of our country with no problem. In that sense, I'm quite happy with Morgan. Unpacking was easy; They gave instructions but actually the assembly was pretty self explanatory. They recommend an Allen key and a Phillips screwdriver. I haven't been able to find my crescent wrench as I don't use it often, so from experience you'll need the following: 1) 8mm, 10mm, and 12mm sockets or wrenches 2) Large-hole Phillips screwdriver or bit and a cordless screwdriver (this is what I used) 3) Some sort of air pump (I used my own compressor but a simple lever type hand pump will do). or free), so don't waste time looking for a clear plastic bag of gear like I did. :D I'm pretty picky, so I'm not easy to sell. I had some issues with Morgan, by the way. However, they were all pretty minor overall and definitely nothing that would put me off buying them. I suspect most of this is related to the product being on the shelf for a period of time. Anyway, they were: 1) The tires were pretty low and needed filling (again, they were probably seated before my purchase). Note that the maximum recommended pressure is 30psi. These tires are heavy compared to Vans and I'm happy with them. Incidentally, the steel rims were in excellent condition and appeared to be of good quality. 2) There was a small amount of rust on the ends of the axles. This was easily resolved, albeit again probably due to the fact that it was on a shelf. 3) The hardware seemed pretty cheap, if I do say so myself. When tightening several hex sockets, they felt soft and therefore "chewed" quite easily. It's not a big deal, but I'd like to see more powerful and better hardware. I ended up going to the local store to buy replacements. I've also used lock washers and would have preferred to see them, although admittedly it's overkill. And I almost forgot to mention that our son loves it. Something just caught my eye: your ad for this van says it's perfect for kids ages 4 and up; Maybe that's why there are no reviews. And maybe that's why it's no longer available for purchase? I do not know. However, our son is only 22 months old and I can say with certainty that the size fits him. It fits in well, it's easy to get in and out of, and it's easy to pull. So if this is bothering you, I would recommend letting go of this issue. Everything will be fine. Not sure why they recommend 4+, but whatever, I digress. That's all. This is definitely a 5 star product in my opinion and I fully recommend it to anyone looking to buy a red van for their loved one. Much luck!
