No motor, no batteries, no pedaling. Powder-coated, steel handlebars feature a “rams-horn” design that protects the hands of little riders. Two soft buffer wheels prevent contact between the riding surface and the handlebar, offering even more protection and long-life for your scooter. Long-wearing polyurethane wheels contain super-fast bearings. Superior quality means the Super Turtle is sturdy enough to hold 200 lbs.

Sit on the heavy-duty molded seat, put your feet on the bar, and simply swing from side to side. You’re off and rolling! So compactly built, it turns on its own radius.
