We bought are daughter a dareway for christmas a couple of years ago, I spent about an hour putting it together and the stickers on etc, it travelled about ten feet and then it stopped and the motor burnt out, when I returned it to Toys R Us they had removed them from sale due to the problems with them, my daughter was upset beacuse it was what she really wanted and she ended up with a scooter instead, they are for sale again so I reckon the issue's must be sorted, but she's too old of it now.
I take it was one of the reasons for the trip to Great Yarmouth then Marty.
