I wish I had read the reviews...BEFORE the purchase!! (...)...wasted!! Let alone the disappointment. Bought it for my 7 year old last christmas.....went way too slow for the 2 rides he got out of it!!!!!!! Kids were passing him on skateboards!!! Didn't seem to recharge correctly, seemed even slower, but no big deal, since he wasn't interested in riding it anyway!! Recently went to re-charge for a friend to try...the battery charger cord caught fire!!!!!!!! With the other reviews saying the same...buyer beware!!! I agree Honda should be ashamed of its association with this product!!
