Wheels Become Loose and Fall Off
We had an awful experience with this product and the wheels becoming loose, and yes, fell off. I bought this for my Dad and while we were at Costco the wheel flew off and he was hurt really bad from falling off of it. My Dad is a construction guy and builds cars, so we know that it was not User Error on assembly. This was also his first day using the scooter, so there was no time for "wear and Tear" he wasn't using it for more than 6 hours before the wheel fell off. The problem is that the nuts that are used to tighten the wheels come loose easily and the bar with the wheels come out. We returned and bought a new scooter with rubber wheels and a better locking mechanism.<br /><br />In addition to the wheels falling off there were also flat spots on the plastic wheels where my Dad was feeling every bump from it even on smooth surfaces. I bought this specific scooter knowing it had shocks to help absorb movement, but was disappointed when the actual wheel seemed to be the problem not how it performed on different surfaces. He is much happier with his new scooter with bigger and rubber wheels. He is not falling and I don't have to buy him helmet now lol
