The Susansix scooter as found on amazon -- [REDACTED] -- will unexpectedly fold while riding due to a bad design and poor manufacturing tolerances.

I was opening a folded scooter (Razor A6). I was holding onto the square frame member, and operated the lever to unfold the scooter with my pointer finger. When the bottom part of the scooter unfolded, the force caused my thumb to get crushed between the square frame and a metal plate. The "crush zone" for this scooter is directly opposite the lever, which makes this scooter dangerous. We own two other styles of Razor scooters that do not have this issue.

I purchased an OUTON Kick Scooter from Amazon for my niece last year as a gift June 2019. I received word on June 2020 that while my niece was riding the scooter, a bolt from the wheel bin came off (causing the wheel to separate from the scooter) causing her to fall onto concrete and hurt herself badly! Her family is furious as this is a manufacturer caused issue! This scooter is for children and should have been made and designed properly to prevent injury! I looked on recent reviews on Amazon and other consumers are having similar product issues. There seems to be 13 similar reviews but that does not mean it has not happened more, this is just based on the reviews. [REDACTED] Other scooters are recalled for potential fall and major injury hazard and this should be too! I have been trying to work with Amazon. I believe their product safety people are investigating it and the product has been removed from their site. However, I believe other consumers should be notified of the potential hazard for their children! There appears to be 1 remaining type of OUTON scooter being sold on Amazon. I contacted the seller, OUTON at customerservice-ou@outlook.com but they have not acknowledged or replied. There should be a recall notice so that Amazon is made to alert customers of the potential injury of children riding this scooter.

Purchased a Swagtron K6 4 in 1 Kick Scooter & Balance Bike on January of 2021 for my grandson. A little over 3 months later it started to become loose at the place where it swivels to switch from bike to scooter. Shortly after it completely came apart as my 2 year old grandson was riding indoors. Please note, it was only used indoors by my grandson and never swiveled to change it from bike configuration. My grandson fell but was not injured.

I was riding a 'muscle' manual kick scooter (Osprey Dirt) model. I average 14 miles a week and use it for a specialized exercise routine you can call it. A kick scooter (also referred to as a push-scooter or scooter) is a human-powered street-ground vehicle with a handlebar, deck, and wheels propelled by a rider pushing off the ground with their feet. NOTICE: It broke on me while jumping and clearing a standard sidewalk ridge at the edge of an asphalt street and I was at a 90 degree angle to the road. Luckily only a quarter sized scrape on my knee was scraped. This model scooter is supposed to be made for hilly and bumping riding so it should be able to take mini jumps that present itself when riding including juts in sidewalks and irregular roads that can be expected to be encountered while traveling. The manufactures site shows a rider up into the air to be landing hard onto the ground. @ https://www.ospreyactionsports.co.uk/osprey-dirt-scooter-gun-metal-grey.html?gclid=Cj0KCQjwheyUBhD-ARIsAHJNM-OAGfNdvjzxqBZQdke2YH72idNwuRrhNcySbWG45GEyMhG-_4ZdfJ8aAgZgEALw_wcB . Luckily I only skinned my one knee about the size of a quarter. The part that broke was: The downtube cleanly separated in a catastrophic sudden break just below the headtube. The two main parts of the scooter frame separated in two pieces. See picture. This part is not engineered properly to withstand all the operating forces put upon for an all-terrain vehicle, in a push-kick scooter use type-scope.

14 year old daughter was riding a pink Jetson Hex kick scooter JHEX-PNK on a flat sidewalk when the spokes on the front wheel shattered. She flew off the scooter and received several scrapes and road rash. She did not require hospitalization or professional medical treatment. Sidewalk is flat and she was not going over a bump or rough terrain, was not doing a stunt, or anything out of the ordinary. There was no visual evidence that the scooter was damaged prior to this. She is less than 5 feet tall and under 100 pounds. The scooter has been stored indoors during the winter and not subjected to harsh weather. Scooter was purchased toward the end of 2021 and given as a Christmas present.

My five year old daughter was riding her scooter that my mother bought her from Amazon. The wheel came flying off of it and she broke her arm. She had to be sedated and put under to have her arm set. It was very traumatic. If I had purchased the scooter myself, I would have read the reviews. After she broke her arm, I read the reviews and saw that MANY people have said the wheels have come flying off while their child was riding them. It was a Bluey themed scooter by the company Voyager "Scooter for Kids Ages 3-5 - Extra Wide Deck & Light Up Wheels, Self Balancing Kids Toys for Boys & Girls, Choose Your Favorite Character" https://www.amazon.com/Balancing-Scooter-Platform-Activated-Toddlers/dp/B09MDMVQG5/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=2BBREWFUT18DL&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.NsCp2Dv55oPAJ3CfzS0OphXzZMZbX5RQTqjBLN-DFxp6Khz_25Zktup9RXt2gj_mX6SqP8o-WtFK905JDJ0RP6hvMg3eJ9Au9MpDdNu5XEyLW6CKLnysUfdCZgQpMmybcJzKXKNUlMm8NOx_gwkiuoRFsAIeL9fAh0Vtr8wjsX3R148hbgcTfM0JCFI7eGjZJFihE-on4Lgn4B9sSmYynCWvHfHKfLIeztNZmYiCir9-kOTAiw7Ju5fPv3Pez8B2ApDiUJqmyEAP34MOJvJrWxQQ1mzdSKf9aRFGai1orTA.W6CiCkoGTlgZe8_owW7ekeudxuv1QC76_tDpYX4FGy8&dib_tag=se&keywords=bluey%2Bscooter&qid=1746577303&sprefix=bluey%2Bscooter%2Caps%2C118&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&th=1

My child was riding his scooter and the weld on the front wheel failed, causing the wheel to fall off while he was riding. This resulted in a fall with minor scrapes and bruises. Luckily he was wearing a helmet! The scooter was being used on pavement in a school parking lot.
