> 24 hourIts okay. With all of the over-the top reviews, I guess I was expecting more. However, there are some inherent engineering failures on this machine, and I was missing some parts. 1. I only got two bolts for 3 extension rods. Not such a big deal, but the threads were metric, and I was putting it together at 11 PM. Luckily, I found the right size from an adapter kit for my weed eater that I had just installed earlier that day. 2. As this machine is made to wiggle back and forth, I was surprised that there were no lock rings for the bolts. If youve had yours for a while, make sure to check them, Im sure they arent as tight as you put them on. 3. What did you put in the bearings? They barely turn. My advice: flush them out with acetone and dry, then add a light lubricant from a skate shop. Its not a car, it doesnt need this heavy duty grease. A wheel that barely makes it around with the same force as one that keeps spinning for a full minute - which do you think will be faster on the road? 4. So... the axles are bolts, which thread into the end of the rear pipe. Both normal threaded, but with a good amount of locktite added to each side. So if you change the tires in back, unless you add more locktite to the bolts, one will eventually fall off. Guess which one? The left one, of course, as the wheel spins round, counter clockwise, it will be gradually loosening the bolt. Again, with the back and forth motion of this vehicle, you are putting pressure against the flange of that bolt while trying to unscrew it. This is basic mechanical engineering, people. And while there is a washer (aka speed ring ) on one side of the bearing, on the other side, the flange of the bolt is mashing down on the bearing. You use skateboard bearings, but it seems nobody on the design team has ever seen one before? The axles are fixed on a skateboard, and there are speed rings on each side of the wheel to pin the center of the bearing and allow the outer ring with the wheel to spin on it. 5. Seems to me the wheels are a bit on the small side - this thing could go faster with some bigger wheels, or perhaps just one in the front. This is something I havent tested, but I feel right in this. 6. No foam padding for the bars where your legs and butt rest? I guess we could be thankful that we got anything, there was one piece on the back bar, which is fine to prevent chafing or brusing while you ... pedal. But the weight of your body is constantly on the bottom bars. This is what Ill do with mine - fix the axles by threading, then welding them into place, leaving enough space for a wheel to be attached along with its nut. Cutting off the head of the bolt, Ill then cut threads into the end, so that a locking nut can be attached along with a speed ring. That is how you make an axle on something that goes any faster than a slow crawl with a human in it. Then Im going to put some foam padding over the bars Im sitting on. Find it at any homestore, water pipe insulation is what its called. The machine is pretty beefy, if it wasnt, Id simply send it back. So it seems like the initial thought was engineered correctly, but then there were some shortcuts taken, or some engineers replaced before getting to the final draft.

> 24 hourMy grandson loves it. I like the fact that you can make it three different sizes, from like a four year old up to adult size, by just adding the extra bars that come with it. I will be ordering another one for my other grandsons birthday in May. I think I will also order some kind of a flag that sticks up from the back of the Ezyroller because they are very low to the ground, making it hard for cars etc. to see.

> 24 hourMy daughter loves her EzyRoller! She got it as a birthday gift to replace a motorized car she gave away. This is so much better than the motorized options out there. It keeps kids active! As a mom, I love the portability of it. I can throw it in the back of my SUV when running to pick up older sibling. My little now has something fun to do while we wait. We also take it on the trail when I want to walk. Sometimes I hold her hand and pull her along. Most times she races past me!

> 24 hourWe bought one 5 years ago for our then 3 year old grandson who still loves it. Just had to replace the wheels once at a super low cost as he rode it as much. Great the extensions let it grow along with the child. His brother gets his on Friday. He will be so excited. Best gift ever!!

> 24 hourOrgiinally bought this 3 years ago for my granddaughter - the quality and sturdiness are quite impressive. It is like brand new even 3 years later- not even a scratch! Ended up purchasing another one this past month for my second grandchild.

> 24 hourBought this as a gift and the young boy loved it!! It was super easy to adjust to his height! All the party guests were impressed and got on their phones to look it up to give as a gift for another child.

> 24 hourI am completely happy with this purchase. My boy is on it every chance he gets. It is very easy to learn and brakes work great. I would reccomend this product for not only kids but young adults. I myself had a blast riding it.

> 24 hourFantastic product. Very sturdy. I have very tall/large children for their age. Every time we take these to the park or on a walk we get stopped and asked about them. It took about five minutes for my kids to get the hang of using them and these are their favorite go to outdoor toy. The metal is high-quality and strong. There are three sizes with the parts provided. They will grow with my children.
