I purchased the 8inch wheel Swegway for my 11 year old son. I wanted to be sure it was an original and genuine Swegway so after lots of research I brought from I Swegway.com. So pleased I did. They had it in stock and I received it almost the next day. It's had continuous use for over 8 months now whilst in the garden, on holidays & dog walks! It's still as good as new. My son loves being able to play music through the Bluetooth and the coloured lights. Battery life is really good. The only small negative is it's a bit heavy to carry around. My son has now put the go kart extension kit on his Christmas list. I will only buy from ISwegway.com
