Anyone know how well this rides on a dirt with small scattered rock country road - how it handles the bumps with regard to both traction and shock?

My grandson rides his in their north florida yard without problems. No rocks but sandy soil.

It handles well on all terrain! Has big wheels to absorb some of the bumps and is very sturdy.

It's AMAZING on the dirt! That is all we drive it on. It spins and will kick up dirt and rocks everywhere so be careful not to do it too close to yourself or a vehicle. It is powerful and really peels out!

Absolutely. I mostly ride it around the neighborhood with my daughter. I hit the trails a lot also. I will eventually upgrade the front shocks, but I am a heavier guy, thats why.

I rode my Teenage Daughter around the neighborhood, consisting iof some little hills on tar and chip road surface. I had her weigh when we got back, 113 lbs. It pulled well with my Rockhopper Mtn Bike. Smooth and not as much drag as i expected. I love it.

It handles bumbles and rough ground extremely well, but I wouldn't use the word smooth to describe it. You can still feel the vibrations in your feet, but it isn't much harder to ride.

The pavement they ride it on is asphalt. I'm not in the same state as them but I'm told it goes real fast down hill and slower up heel. They do like it a lot.

I would avoid doing dirt trails with it. The frame has a lot of aluminum which is great for the weight but it can break in the long term if you use it for trails a lot.

I has a brake on it and it is guided by the feet. My grandsons ride it everywhere - hills, flat surfaces, etc. They think it is the best ride ever. My grandsons are 5 and 7 but others in the neighborhood (up to 14 ) ride it. I have bought 3 of them for 3 of my 5 grandsons. They each wanted their own!!! Great rider!!!

Used it on a trip that included gravel and paved trail and it worked good in my opinion. When I first got this bike I had not ridden since before having kids so the shock absorption was really nice. Yes, it has a kickstand and the front wheel is a quick release. After the fact I wishes the rear wheel was as well, but you can't beat this bike for the price!

I have ridden mine on pavement, gravel, and dirt, it has done well and held up. It does have a kick stand. My only complaint is it needs to be taken in and adjusted because it is super tight.

Yes, it is good for both paved and dirt roads. The tires have a good tread pattern, and the bike has good shocks to help absorb the bumps of a rough road. I do not do any hardcore trail riding, so I cannot testify to any further details of how it performs off-road. I have taken it off pavement though, over some slightly rougher terrain and through thick grass, and it handled it well. It does have a kickstand.

hard dirt would be ok i suppose, i would try and stay onroad with it. mud or loose dirt wont destroy it but you wont get very far on it..

Yes it is amazing for cruising around on! I just got it today, but it has been a nice ride so far! Very smooth!

It seems as it would be dangerous to looks at how fast you are going while you are flying down a hill at speed. I only look while I am on smooth safe areas. It's small but works fine. I have never crashed on it so I am not sure if it can take a beating. Bottom line is it depends how steep and technical but I only look at it when it is safe and I don't have to look at obsticals and extremely rough terrain . Good luck, RL

The mobility is good. Even the rims and tires have a quick release if need be. I hang mine on a wall and its not very heavy. Being in Montana I've had 100 pounds on some rough dirt roads, its design is good but doesn't like to be to "top heavy".
