Does this scooter turn like in the usual way (steer with handle bars) or just the tilt to turn? Can it turn a corner?

It can turn a corner better than a regukar scooter I feel. Bc the way it tilts. It is a very smooth ride. Perfect for all ages. My friends 2 year old was using it!

It is a very excellent scooter. I believe that it steers around corners...I gave it to my grandson and he is not here right now. It is very well built and sturdy. He takes it out in NYC and does fine with it so it must steer.

I got this for my 7 yr old grandson with special needs because of the two wheels in front and it tilts to steer it.Also the handle bar raises up so he can stand up straight and not bend over to steer. He is very happy with it.

The handlebars are stationary & do not turn like bicycle handlebars. My kids tilt to turn.

Yes, it steers very well, but it does have a wide turning radius. Outdoors this is no problem; indoors the turning radius issue is easily overcome by weighting the good leg and pulling the front to the right or left by the handlebars; or weighting the good leg and pushing or pulling the rear wheel around with the injured leg. I live in a very small house and it's worked well for me this way.

I think the throttle is *supposed* to be variable speed. I find that I can crank it lightly and the scooter will go at a slower speed, however, it is fairly difficult to find that "sweet spot". There is a very tight space between off and wide open so one has to concentrate to keep it in that in-between spot.

This scooter certainly does go backwards and forwards. It steers extremely well and I can maneuver back and forth very well in order to navigate through smaller spaces. When I used it at my orthopedic appointment, this model turned heads in the office with great praise for its appearance and functionality. So, it has been a saving grace during this non weight bearing time.

Yes. The handle bars move with front 2 wheels. I'd say its about a 45 degree turn. Perfect, really. Doesn't tip easily.

The turning radius is great for this small scooter. This scooter is very small and is good for my wife, but for me( big boy ) too small. Spend a little bit more and get a GO GO sport three wheeler better quality, battery life, powerful, and comes apart for travel. We have two scooters my wife uses the scootie and I use the go go sport. Emilio

Steers extremely well outside. Not the tightest turning radius inside, but neither was the 4 wheel that I had before. Can pick up rear wheel to reposition if necessary. Will give mine 4 stars. Love it.

The wheels dont turn like a cars. To turn you have to either vary the speeds or inverse the rotation on one side. When spinning opposite directions it pivots almost perfects from the middle.

Yes! Front axel pivots. Steering works well for young riders but does not cause tipping.

It's true, you can't steer with it. But that might be better, especially when they go downhill fast. To turn direction, kids either take their feet and lift it into the new direction, or dad lifts motorcycle and kid into new direction. No biggie.

It does turn, but not quickly. It needs a lot of space to make a complete turn, there isn't enough inside of a house for it to turn but outside in a driveway or street it should be fine.

Yes, it's steerable, but with a wide radius. For tight turns, I lift the handle bars a little and then aim it in the direction I want to go. I've been using mine for about nine weeks and haven't regretted it at all.

It cannot make sharp turns, but it is like a bicycle. Sometimes to get. in small spots you may have to go back and forth a bit like parallel parking a car. It worked great for me to use at work.

It does not swivel, which I like. It's not that hard to push down or pull back to lift the front when you want to make a greater turn. I bought this because the front wheel does NOT swivel. Attaching it to my bike, however, has been a nightmare. I may be returning this.

It is very lightweight and the base/stem is only about 1 inch to the console, so if you want to turn it you just pick up and turn the whole thing. As for tilting, you can tilt forward one position that is preset.

It turns. The handle bars move the wood colored part which turns independently of the red body part if that makes sense.

Not really - I havent seen any of these kind steer - the wheels just roll forward / backward in a straight line - however, kids figure out how to lift and turn them to get around. It's sufficient for getting around a house.
