My 8 year old son recently purchased this product after saving his birthday money and money he received from pet sitting. When he bought the product he was extremely disappointed in how slow the Dirt Quad was as well as how easily it tipped when he cornered. Every single time he cornered a front wheel left contact with the ground.We've had great experiences with other Razor electric scooters and dirt bikes so were really surprised at how poorly this one handled. I think our 150 electric scooter goes faster. Fortunately we were able to return it to Toys R Us for a full refund.This might be a good product for a 5 - 6 year old, but nobody 8+ (as it recommends).
