Shred Sled Shox Scooter Review

ABOUT:

Shred Sled is a company that specializes in extreme sports products for children.  It has just come out with the Shox Scooter, which is the first-ever active shock absorber scooter that allows riders to perform higher, faster, more awesome tricks!   Unlike traditional scooters, the Shox Scooter’s supreme shocks increase a rider’s speed and airtime, making stunts bigger and better.  It is great for beginners learning their very first “ollie” or advanced rider landing those perfect “180s.”

• Build with a new innovative spring shock deck to absorb impact and increase rider’s power.
• Deck is a rough grip surface to provide excellent foot control and traction while performing tricks.
• Scooter has a sturdy back brake further to enhance safety while riding.
• Has comfortable easy-to-grip black foam handles to adjust to various heights, accommodating children of all sizes.
• Built from lightweight aluminum, designed to increase speed and make traveling easier.
• Scooter folds in half, making storage quick and easy – perfect for moms and dads.
• Appropriate for ages 5 and up.

MY THOUGHTS:

This scooter is so nice!  First taking it out of the package, it was already assembled and just needed to be opened and adjusted to whatever height you’d like.  Opening it up was so easy and once you get the height you want, you just lock it into place with a clip.  The foam handles make it easy and comfortable to grasp and the grip surface really does keep your feet into place.  My almost 4 year old son loves this scooter, although I make sure he has his helmet on and I walk along side him, as it is a little big for him still.  This would be great through for a 5 year old and up, and by up I mean teens and older.  My husband and I tried it out and it was fun, but I don’t know if it could stand up daily to our weight.  I also want to add that my 12 year old sister loves this scooter and it has been a hit with the neighborhood kids!

Having the brake in the back is especially nice for tricks as it allows the rider to control the scooter better.  Now I am no scooter expert but I really think this one is nice and perfect for beginners to advanced.  I also love how easily it folds up to carry around or store.  This would be especially nice to throw in the car for riding around at grandmas or the park and it doesn’t take a lot of room.

BUY IT: The Shox Scooter is available nationwide at retailers and online at Shred Sled’s website for $59.99.
