Shox Scooter Review
Posted at 6:09 am on September 1, 2010 by Catherine
Remember that scooter (Shox Scooter) I was getting my son for his birthday? Well, it came.
Its awesome.
I’m the kind of person who likes having both my feet on the ground. Without wheels on or near them. I always have been and probably always will be. But even I have to admit that this scooter is cool. It was pretty easy to set up, its shiny, its fast.
The box says “5 years and up” and my son just turned 4. But there are about 50 different kids who go by our apartment balcony on scooters every day and I know he’d love to join in. So I thought it was worth a shot. As it turns out, it is a bit too old for him. He just doesn’t quite have the balance, coordination, and muscle development. But he’s practicing and he’ll get there.
Part of the reason is that this is truly a very cool scooter. Instead of just having a metal beam to stand on, it has a shock absorber. This makes tricks faster, higher, easier, cooler (or, so the box and internet tells me). Watching my just-turned-four year old boy giving it a go, I already have to shield my eyes for the daring tricks I know are just a few months down the road.
So, yeah, its cool. Made by the makers of the Shred Sled, but for younger kids. My son’s first scooter. One of the kids came up to him yesterday and said “hey, you have a scooter! You can ride with us!” Nice.
In the interest of full disclosure, a PR company sent me a complimentary Shred Sled, valued at $50.00, for me to review. I received no other instructions or compensation.
