I prefer a manual "Pogo-Stick" over a motorized one. I could picture a group of ten year old girls hopping around the neighborhood on these things, all dressed in pink and giggling the whole time though....Pretty funny sight, and if they cross a street, and get hit by a car on this thing the car will be totaled, and the kid would probably be safe. Think I'll buy it for my future daughter, or son....lol.
