Great concept, kids love it while it works

This is one of those toys is fun while it lasts. Unfortunately it seems it was built only for making a commercial to sell it and was never tested in the real world. This one lasted about 10 minutes before the throttle cable housing busted. Yes my boy LIGHTLY struck something but the design is clearly underbuilt for anything called a Shredder. The housing sticks out in front and is so cheaply made you could easily bend/break it with a finger. (keep in mind this toy is for shredding the asphalt outdoors where helmets and protective gear are required. So I fixed that and THEN about 20 minutes after that he was only driving on flat driveway and heard a pop and then it stopped. Wouldn't do anything. Checked the circuit breaker, checked the large internal fuse, put the ohm meter on the throttle switch, the brake cut off switch, the master switch, circuit breaker, and anything else I could find to test. Bypassed everything to see if the motor still functioned and it did. Therefore it had to be the control board. I don't even think the battery was even half gone yet and dead. I would have rated this a one star but luckily enough after calling the support number, they are sending me a replacement controller. For customer service so far I would give them 5 stars but for this product, I would highly recommend buying something else with your money. My boy did like riding it though while it worked but hated to see his face when it stopped working.

Arrived on time, rode it for the first day, and it quit! Wouldn't charge, wouldn't power up...thank goodness, we called and AMAZON REPLACED IT! This was our boys Xmas/birthday gift, and he was sooo excited to receive it.

Thank you Amazon for replacing it with no hassels! You saved his little excitement bubble

Horrible product. I purchased this last year for my son (x-mas) it worked great for a couple runs then after charging would not run... Trouble shot the issue down to the control board which I replaced no problem. A couple charges latter we have the same issue again and now have a 300 dlr paper weight the only thing good I can say is my kid loves riding it when it works

Mine Works, But don't try to Return it. UPDATE!!!

"For safety reasons, items that are classified as hazardous materials or use flammable liquids or gases cannot be returned to Amazon.com. Customers should dispose of hazardous materials according to Local, State and Federal regulations. Customers should contact their local government or local waste company for directions on how to dispose of Household Hazardous Waste"
If you try to return this item you will receive the above message. I'm not sure what they consider a "Hazardous Material" its BATTERY POWERED! and they shipped it to me, why cant i ship it back? there are no flammable liquids or gasses. its difficult to give this product a good rating due to this fact.
But to be fair the product performs well. my 10 year old got it for Christmas and really liked it. I think. (he only played with it once) it is cool and sparks if you turn hard. You ride in a knelled position. its not a bad product. it just has a BAD RETURN POLICY!!! I have never experienced this whith Amazon, I think they should review the return policy in this product.

JUST STOPPED WORKING? BATTERY FULLY CHARGED BUT SOMETHING WENT WRONG. WIRES LOOK FINE, IT WAS ONLY USE A COUPLE OF TIMES.

It worked for 2 -3 runs and that was it. Very disappointing for my son after getting a helmet and gloves for 15 minutes of ride time. Very disappointed!

My son Loves this thing! He's having lots of fun with it. I would buy one myself if they came in a larger size.
