Osprey BMX Stunt Scooter | Adults Teens Kick Scooter with Big Wheels and Adjustable Handlebars for Off-Roading, Multiple Colours

As a 41 year old father of 2 I've always wanted to mess about on scooters with the kids but never liked the ride of the small hard wheel scooters on sale. Saw this and thought that looks a lot more comfortable.Assembly will take some time if you've never messed about with bikes before, but if you know the basics about 30 minutes and you'll be done. Took me about 20 mins to build and another 5 or so after a little ride to adjust the brakes. Assembly instructions aren't the best but there's loads of build videos on youtube and the instruction video on the amazon product page is pretty good as well.Quality of the scooter seems pretty good and all parts fitted together with no issues.Design of the scooter is very nice I really like the black with the light blue trim.Size and weight limits- I am quite wide shouldered and at just over 6ft and 15 stone I was a little concerned about the scooter but so far it seems to be pretty strong. I would be confident to ride this even if I was over the max suggested weight limit of 100kg. The build is very similar to a BMX with pretty decent looking welds and strengthening.I do dwarf the scooter a little bit so if you are taller than me then you may want to find a slightly bigger one or get used to scooting around slightly hunched over.Only issue so far is that I'm finding it quite hard to actually have a go on it as the kids keep taking it.........One final point i would like to make is- as the front is actually just a BMX frame you could always change out the front forks and put an even bigger wheel on there. or like I am thinking of doing putting a front fork from my old bike on there for the suspension (only problem old bike was black and orange so I'll have to spray it as well.)

I ordered this to spice up my lockdown exercise and bring some extra fun to it. (I’m 41 for goodness sake!) But I don’t care.I had already read reviews they said it was hard to assemble and decided thst I would take it to a local bike shop to put it together for me. They did and it cost £40. In my mind, it was worth it. No hassle and they’re very used to constructing bikes and breaks etc...They did a super job. I also bought myself a helmet from them!I went for a lovely scoot the next day. It’s a lot of fun on the downhills. I feel like my right quad is going to be super muscly because it’s enhanced the whole time you’re scooting and works much harder than the leg that propels you.So I’m 5’7” and weigh 10.5st. I don’t think you could be much taller and comfortably scoot on this but I reckon the scooter could easily take another stone or two. The tyres are solid. You just need a decent sense of balance.All in all, I’m really happy with this purchase. It’s quite big, but it fits in my VW van easily and wouldn’t be hard to put in a normal car, you might have to put the back seats down. It doesn’t fold like other scooters. It’s a rigid structure.I love the colour. That’s great. The stand is useful but the front tyre needs to be aligned with the back otherwise it will tip. I would lean It against something if you can.You can’t fail to ha e fun on this cheeky little scooter. It’s a cheap alternative to a bike and just a bit of fun. Nice to throw in the car and go somewhere different for a new scoot adventure (when we’re allowed!).So my advice - get it professionally put together and factor that into the purchase price. Then have fun!!!!!

Ordered this x2 days ago, arrived today box slightly damaged so I was a bit sceptical at first incase it was damaged after reading previous reviews.However, put it together in approx 40mins. Easy enough to do if you have fixed up bikes before. But if not, My advice would be getting someone who has or getting someone to help you as the brakes are the most fiddly part.Overall happy with it so far, feels sturdy and strong.I'm around 90kg and approx 6ft tall. Only thing for me I'd prefer slightly taller handle bars.Bought it so I can keep up with my child rather than try running after them!!Only x4 stars at the moment as I've not used enough or played on to properly comment on strength and durability. Good exercise & fun. Will update soon.

Having read reviews, I agree that the tool provided does not fit well so it is not easy to tighten up fittings. Also my wheels were slightly buckled. My daughter, a former mountain biker, tried to sort these problems out but recommended I get it checked out at my local bike shop 9COST £30)- as recoomended by other purchasers. The owner said that the scooter was sturdy and had good brakes. However, he said that the stand was not fit for purpose - falls over when used as the angle is not right! I use the scooter as a form of exercise which covers the exercises recommended by my physio for sciatic pain. I have found that the level/frequency of pain has reduced and my balance, knee strength has improved. A good buy overall but disapointed that it cost me an additional £30 to get the scooter ready to use safely.

Had a quick test run this morning. It's so much smoother than my old solid-wheeled scooter!The brakes are ok, but not fantastic. Better than a scooter where you push down a pedal onto the back wheel though. I guess I'm just used to the disc brakes on my bicycle.Easy to assemble if you're at all familiar with bikes. It's just attaching the front wheel and handlebars, and setting up the brakes. I didn't need the instructions.The stand just about holds it upright. It could do with being half an inch longer.You can adjust the ground clearance which is a nice feature. It's a faff though, since it'll involve removing the back wheel and readjusting the brakes.You'll need your own spanners. The supplied one didn't fit one of the nuts! The allen key was ok though.If I could improve one thing, I'd make the handlebar stem longer. An extra 10 cm would be awesome, but I'm quite tall at 185cm (6'2").
