Review on πŸ›΄ Retrospec Ripper-500 Kick Scooter: Ideal for Kids 8+, Adults, and All Ages by Eric Williamson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good mid-range scooter

A few years ago I bought a scooter that ended up being passed down to the kids so I had intentions of making it mine (spoilers my eldest took it) . While I like some aspects of it, I'm a little wary of the plastic collar that folds back to lock the handlebars in place, when I first installed it a random piece of plastic fell out (which I couldn't find in the manual). So far it's holding up, but I'm curious how it would hold up if you were to fold this scooter up regularly. Although the steering wheel wobbles a bit. When I took it out, I continued to nail the calf to the side with the platform, and since the rough part goes to the edge, I was glad I wasn't wearing my best leggings. The ride is nice and smooth, and most of the scooter (except for the aforementioned part next to the steering wheel) is metal. My 11 year old daughter thought it looked great and has claimed it ever since.

Pros
  • Great construction
Cons
  • Some little things
