I got this for my 9 year old son last weekend (at Target). He worked to save 1/2 the money for it. We followed the directions and assembled it. It took an hour or so to get it all put together and he really enjoyed it for about a 1/2 hour till the seat came off. I went back out to look at it and there were cracks on the seat and the plastic had pulled way from the mounts on all 4 screws. I debated bringing it back to Target but opted to contact Huffy for a replacement seat and got the duct tape out and fit it back together and reinforced it and sent him back out. It held together for a while.Looking at my neighbors the seat is completely different on this new model and has 2 small metal bars that the plastic seat screws into as the user turns and weight shifts around there is much more pressure put on the seat and it rips the screws out. IMHO this is a poor design. The cheap plastic is not designed for this stress so it cracks and pulls away from the screws.I…

I had a Green Machine when I was a kid. The whole thing was plastic! Huffy made this awesome new green machine using a real rubber front tire, steel frame, and the wide slick wheels on the back that make the green machine spin awesome 360's. I could not wait to give it to my son and see his face. His head just about exploded! All his buddy's dropped their bikes and where taking turns riding and then another kid who already had one saw the other kids riding and brought his over too. I happy to see the joy this green machine brought my son just as the one my mom bought for me. It was also cool to have my son out of the house and off the video games for a change interacting with some friends. My son still likes his bike, but told me this is a green machine is cool and does more than his bike plus everyone who see's him on it thinks he's cool! I could not have made a better purchase. Goodbye Xbox hello world!

The Green Machine is the hit of the neighborhood! It is almost as much fun to watch others ride and spin out as it is for you to do ride it yourself! Everyone participating is laughing and smiling. The Green Machine reminds me of times when I was a kid, and it is just wonderful to watch children enjoy active play outside when there is so much technology and sitting in today's society. It is so much fun to ride!
