Sbyke P20 Trottinette Noir/Lime Green

For the last few years I've commuted daily by bike, and for the last couple of years by conventional scooter. I bought this as a Christmas present for myself.Overall I love it. It takes a bit of time to master the technique but once you've got it it's very natural. It's really solid and rattle-free (better than my Micro Flex scooter), has a low rolling resistance and a smooth ride. It's easy to kick along at a good speed and easy to step up and down curbs etc. (I'm still working on the bunny hops). The brake works fine, including in wet weather (unlike the one on my scooter). The price at the time of writing (£85ish) is astonishing value for money.Downsides? Handling can be a bit frisky on occasions (it's very sensitive to sideways gradients in particular - must be tricky in a skate park). It doesn't fold up. It's hard to persuade my seven year old that it belongs to dad and that he can't ride it all the time. Not sure yet how easy it will be to get spare parts from the US (I haven't needed any thus far).It won't be for everyone (you have to invest a bit of time in taming it) but personally I love the fact that there's a bit of skill required to master it. I'm 6'2" and the bar height is fractionally on the low side, but it's absolutely fine. I haven't had any problem with handlebars slipping as one other reviewer mentioned (it's a four-bolt clamp so do the usual trick of tightening the bolts progressively in a figure 8 pattern).My technique tips: When cornering with one foot on the board, make sure it's the foot on the outside of the turn. When coasting with both feet up, steer by pressing down gently on the inside foot and let the handlebars follow, rather than trying to steer with the bars. Make sure you put your weight back a bit when you brake.

my 15 year old son loves it.....great head turner...only down side is that you have to tighten screws all the time

Best piece of kit,well packaged,great description about product,my sons mates are well jealous.My son is seven and he loves it.

8 year-old daughter loves it! One downside of it is that the handle bars slip on the headset mounting despite the fact that the screws are initially tight. The screws loosen up after a few rides. I will get some loctite to secure the bolts, hope this helps. The other thing is that I think it would be better if the handlebars would have a mesh where the stem grips them so they wouldn't slip, but this is just my observation (I've built several bikes over the years and my observations are based on own experience, not claiming to be an expert). Overall the Sbyke is a fun and different toy that gets all the kids excited :-)

Kids love it, and the adults too

I found the quality of the product poor some nuts rusting I had to give it to my grandson as it was his birthday

Amazing bit of kit, easy to put together

Great fun-and cool looking
