No respectable parent would put their kid on that $39 pile of junk you speak of. You are severely out of touch: The kid wants a scooter. The parent goes to the local Kmart/Walmart/ToysRus or whatever and buys one. End of story. Ok- the rich kid will get the deluxe model. How many rich kids are there? Far more to the point however is that this is a fad. All fads come to an end and the likelyhood that the same company will be a focal point of the next fad is very small. Eric

THese are one of the most dangerous "toys" out there...and woo be to those trying to shop in a store with kids whose mothers don't care if they run wild in the store and knock everyone down as they race around on the thinnest of medal boards with tiny little wheels. Those are probably the same parents who broke into fist fights and literally ran on the tops of shopping carts at Wal Mart to save a couple of bucks on the sale priced scooter on Black Friday. Thank goodness I bought all my stuff beforehand and just went in later to price adjust. ANother equalizer of the internet. FInd out the bargains beforehand..buy them up.. and then price adjust. THese scooters are just lawsuits waiting to happen from all kinds of angles...
