Is this scooter fast and strong enough to carry an adult ? How does it deal with hills ?

Yes my daughter weighs 185 and it drives the speed it says with no problem, she even rides with a friend on flat ground.. As far as hills she says it depends on how steep, but that it goes up them with little trouble.

My husband rode this scooter with no speed issues and he is 210lbs. Small hills did not seem to be an issue but haven't been up any larger ones.

Carries an adult sized teen and loses power in about half the time the manual states... struggles on steep hills. Does well on level straight aways. The kids have fun with it.

It does ok for an adult. If you are aproaching 200 lbs you need to give it a chance to get up to speed. It is much better on level ground, uphill is going to have it's issues with top end. Overall it can be a lot of fun if you don't have expectations that are unrealistic for what you are paying for. All in all it is a lot of fun, well worth the price.

I weigh 180 and it has no problem moving right along. Cant answer about the hills as we dont have any where we live.

Thank you for contacting Dazadi! The 14" Kent Boys Super Scooter has a weight limit of 100 lbs so it would not be a good fit for an adult. The Razor Pro XX Scooter or the Razor A5 Lux Kick Scooter would be best to support adults. Please let us know if you have any additional questions!

I don't Think it's top heavy. It's a great scooter and I love it. I have driven it into the market, but just parked it there and got out to shop. I haven't yet gone further into stores but plan to. It's a mobility scooter, just covered.

Yes, it has plenty of power if you stay within the weight limits. For an adult I would recommend a E-300.

Yes, very easily. I would highly recommend this scooter. I have a 4 year old who loves it. It is super sturdy and easy to manage.

It is faster than a "self-propelled" scooter, so it's important that the rider can maintain balance. Our kids love it...but they are older. Haven't had any battery issues so far.

This Tao Tao scooter is larger and better built then I expected for the cost. I'm around 240 pounds and I take it to work every day, with a backpack holding at least another 10-20 pounds and have no problems with the small hills in my area.I've had mine for 5 months now and have been very happy with it.

Yea an adult can use it. We don't like it though. You can only pedal on flat surfaces or down downhill. Very awkward. I have never tried to fold it.

I bought this for my 8 yr old granddaughter. I have ridden it on pavement (185#) and it will do ok. Off-road it barely Will move with my weight. It does well under 150#.

I have the adult version as with anything I would go with the manufacturer's recommendations. there is a learning curve but if your child is on a push scooter and doing well I bet they would get control of it fairly quickly. it's not good for going uphill.

We've had people (adults) up to 170 lbs on this scooter with no problems. Our boys are around 50 lbs and also do fine on it.

In the highest power mode it SHOULD be able to but you would probably be operating at half its top speed on flat and run out of power pretty quickly (maybe 20-30 minutes. It would probably be pretty hard to ride at the beach but on low grass it should be pretty good. I weigh around 180 and it has no trouble pulling me around but can only top speed at about 14mph running for about a little less than an hour. It doesn't have much trouble going up hills since this thing has torque for days; overall it is a huge piece of machinery, the title of it should be called "EMAD Dirt Rider DuneBuggy you stand up on"

Fairly well,depending on the terrain. It doesn't climb hills and doesn't have brakes. Buy an extra battery and carry it along, when the first battery runs out then switch so you can avoid pushing it back home.

it is not for people with balance problems like myself. it has nice big wheels to go over rougher ground. some older people just need a bit of strength help. like a tricycle it is more tippy than 4 wheels for sure.

I am pleased with this one. My 2 1/2 y/o is hefty and this is wonderful. I like the way it turns. The foot platform is wide yet not too long. When I reviewed all the scooters, I went with this one because of the stability, flexibility, and durability according to other reviews. His mom loves this and he has two other siblings who weigh 75 and 90 and they ride on it and it is not affected. Hope this helps.

The Kicker is not good for potholes or rough roads due to the somewhat small wheels. I have fallen a couple of times from it catching in a uneven sidewalk. I would only recommend the kicker for smaller adults. The frame is plenty sturdy, but the thin contact area on the wheels gets compressed and reduces your rolling distance a lot if you weigh over 165lbs. The size is OK for adults up to 5'9". Taller than that and you have to stoop to ride it, unless you have long arms. With better wheels it would be a great scooter for most adults.

Not at all! In fact the 2-stroke motor is oriented more for adults. Kids would feel more comfortable with an electric scooter. The motor has a great power band and makes torque seemingly at all rev ranges compared to a 4-stroke. The motor does not need to be taken off to be worked on. You can also very easily replace the seat it comes with, don't expect to stand if you are over '5"5. Mine has had very few problems getting me places past the first couple weeks.
