I have one and its awesome. Way better starter bike than a PW IMO.

My 4 y/o son hopped on it right away and he's pretty timid. He is still intimidated by a PW.

My 2 y/o son (not timid) had only been on a balance bike for a month or so, so I lowered the rear shock so he could touch the ground wth both feet, then wired up the pegs so it would be like a balance bike. I turned the speed as slow as it could go, turned down the response time as well, and he just walked around the backard (I never thought I'd see a motorcycle go that slow). Every 5 min or so I turned it faster and by the end of the hour he wanted the pegs down. Now he rips.

Pros
Great torque at low speed (unlike a PW), light(ish), won't flood, well made, adjustable levers, adjustable speed and response, looks sweet, less intimidating than a PW, can ride it at public parks and on public trails

Cons
1-2 hr duration with 4-5 hr charge time, had to make my own seat for my older/taller son, expensive, no Li Ion batteries available yet
