I bought this for my 5 year old, and it is perfect for this age group. 5-8 would be ideal. They recommend only for 13 and up, but while it would be fun for them, it may be a little slow. I think they recommend for older ages to avoid law suits... It's ideal for the smaller kids, especially if they have out grown the 5 mph rides and are looking for something with a little more kick (probably around 8-9 mph on flat street), quick, but not like you can't catch up to it or anything like that a smooth job is about the speed. It has a throttle, so if the child wants to go slower until he builds up his confidence it can do that as well, which will be about 15 minutes later. It is very sturdy and strong, runs great on grass, roads, hills... I have no issues with battery life, my son get's tired long before it runs out of battery, but then he's on it again the next day. Be careful with parked cars as this is truly the most dangerous aspect. It is very low to the ground. Lastly, there is a brake, but it's pretty hard for smaller children to pull, but don't worry once they let of the throttle it comes to a complete stop pretty quick, within one adult car length. It's loads of fun, I wish I could ride it.
