Overall this is a good medium price scooter that is a step up from "cheap" scooters.

It has been used and abused by my son for 1 month and performs well with no signs of stress.

Pro's
Higher weight limit - we were looking for a scooter that would support older kids and adults.
Kickboard extension - the kickboard extension behind the rear wheel makes wheelies easy.
Shocks - the shocks don't do as much as I thought they would. They are appropriately designed that they do not fully compress with a 200 lb load yet they still provide shock absorbtion with a 100 lb load. I'm not sure how much they really add to the overall ride though.
Price - compared to low cost (low quality) scooters and high end ($100+) scooters this is a good price versus quality for a kids scooter.

Con's
Labeling - the weight limit listed in the product description is not on the box or in the instructions. This is a con because I belive in "trust but verify" with respect to specifications listed by the vendors.
Bearings - When first unpacked the steering column bearings "caught" in a few places making steering jerky. However this disappears with a small amount of weight on the scooter. This may be the design or a one-off manufacturing defect on the upper bearing. Either way it does not effect ride.

Very durable and easy to ride. The kids cruise all over and rave about their performance.
