Promising Review: “I bought this for my grandson on his 9-year-old birthday. He absolutely loves this scooter. It lights up when the power is on, making it extra cool. It moves at a great speed for a 9-year-old, fast enough to be thrilling, but not outrageous or scary fast. We took it up to the local destination KOA and he rode it up and down the gravel road.”

Promising Review: “Absolutely OUTSTANDING product. As both a creative lead and tech developer, my personal standards for these types of devices is quite high and this little thing has not only met every expectation and promise but exceeded them. In a world flooded with mediocre (or outright horrible) iterations of educational scientific / tech / STEM toys, it is incredibly satisfying to land on a product so well designed and constructed in every aspect of its envelope. MAJOR props to the teams behind the Dash. I cannot recommend it enough, both my 5-year-old and myself find the device challenging and fun to use; a very difficult thing to accomplish.”

Promising Review: “My children love this not just my toddlers but my 7-year-old as well! Came packaged in a clean dent-free box, inside it’s in 5 pieces; the base that can be filled with sand for stability, the trunk which adds the height, the backboard piece, the hoop, and the net. It was extremely easy to assemble without the instructions, no screws, nuts, or bolts to struggle with. It’s so lightweight and easy to move both inside and outside of the garage so you can play with it even on rainy days. It comes with 3 pre-inflated small basketballs (bonus) perfect for my toddler’s hands. My 1.5-year-old was able to use it and make baskets. She does a little happy dance when she makes it in. 🙂 …The balls are soft enough that they don’t hurt when someone accidentally bonks themselves.”
