Fun little scooter
I bought this product for my teenager, she uses it to go to the store which is about a mile or so up the road and to visit friends. It does struggle up any slight incline. It would be better if slightly larger.

Quality not so good
The design look and concept behind this scooter is great, but the quality of the electronics and fit/finish leaves a lot to be desired. We purchased two of the Peg Perego Vespa's and two Pocket-Mod Razor's for Christmas for our girls. The Razor's were $50 less, and are still working flawlessly. BOTH vespa's have broken twice each (electronic circuit board fails). Peg Perego sent us replacement circuit boards, which are difficult to remove and replace, and they operated once again for a short period of time, then same result.

The Vespa is constructed completely out of molded plastic, that does not seem to hold up well. In addition, the electronics are obviously low quality. Look into Razor's for scooters. Quality metal construction with real rubber tires (not plastic like the Peg Vespa), and they seem to be much more durable.

Excellent stable toy
Just bought and received (quickly from Amazon) this Vespa for my grandson who just turned two. He and all of his friends and etc rode it for hours. They loved it and it performed flawlessly. I constucted it for him and it went together in a few hours without any hitches. I would highly recommend this for the first time rider.

Very enjoyable children's toy
My daughter received this as a present for her 3rd birthday. As soon as it was put together, she was on it riding circles around the house. She was able to mount it and reach the foot pedal without any problem. She enjoys the novelty of having a "motorcycle" when her friends in the neighborhood have just cars. It does well on pavement and doesn't have a sharp turn radius (i.e. could turn over without supervision). When she goes out in the yard with it, she often gets stuck. It does come with training wheels. The recommended age is until age 7. While the toy looks durable, I am not sure my daughter will be able to play with it until age 7 due to her possible size and interest. She does love it now though. There are 2 speeds. According to the stickers, it is made in Italy and is "officially licensed by Vespa".
