Dareway Revolution Scooter Review

Dareway Revolution Scooter Review

Dareway Revolution is the new upright ride on scooter for kids by Famosa. It was in 2014 that a scooter which was similar to Segway but for kids, or the original Dareway scooter, was released with lots of ads running on TV and online.

Based on the scooter’s sales, the product has been very successful. Maybe that’s why the manufacturer has introduced its successor, the Dareway Revolution as the new version.

dareway-revolution-handleTo provide a riding experience much more comfortable compared to the previous product, users could choose from three levels to adjust the handle of the new scooter. This option is especially helpful when considering the various sizes of different children, or the fact that as time passes and the kid grows the toy could still be usable for them. And the scaled down handle could also imply the more professional and less protective feature of the product.

The right and left buttons on the toy could be used to control the device. And kids could make it move forward by pushing the pedal. Going reverse is also possible by pushing both buttons.

Other features could be found below.

  • Height adjustments (3 levels) – this feature was discussed before in this article.
  • Power meter – Now with a power meter that shows how much battery power is left through different levels of red, yellow and green, kids could better know when it’s time to recharge the scooter.dareway-revolution-iphone-holder

  • Electric brake
  • Foot accelerator

Where to buy & price

dareway-revolution-scooterTo buy the Dareway Revolution scooter users could check out Toys”R”Us website. At the time of writing this review, the product has been listed with the price tag of $249.99.

Toys”R”Us has also the older version of the Dareway toy for sale and it costs $199.99 to purchase it. Although this model could be bought for cheaper prices such as $179.98 from Walmart.

But as the user ratings and scores on this website and other review websites suggest, it could be concluded that the older version is still more popular despite of extra features and options offered with the Dareway Revolution.

So it might be a better choice to select the previous model of Dareway especially if it would be the child’s first experience of having a scooter. That’s because riding the Revolution model might need more skill and experience because of the new design and more speed.
