*Riders between the ages of 14-18 require adult supervision.
Special Drifting TPE Rear Tires
The cutting-edge TPE rear tires bring users the most exciting drifting experience ever. The controllable rear-end and high-speed cornering make it easier to show off drifting techniques just like a professional racer.
Designed As Supercars
The Gokart PRO has an RR design; the rear engine and the rear-wheel-drive are set up like supercars. The weight distribution is designed with 40% front and 60% rear.
Triple Anti-collision Protection
The front end of the Gokart PRO features three layers of TPE impact protection to increase the safety of the rider. The Steel frame can protect the body to maintain the shape. Middle layer: The High Polymer material can absorb the energy of the impact of collision. Outer layer: TPE front lip can reduce damage during a collision.
Manual Hand Brake
The manual handbrake can be used when drifting and can also be used as an effective way of braking during emergencies.
Drift Assistant System
The Segway-Ninebot app allows you to pre-program your drifting experience depending on your own style or the site condition since the two wheel hub motors are connected separately to each rear tire. You can drift like a pro in no time!

Great toy, but crappy speaker
Just like all the review says. You will need a master degree on how to set this up initially. You had to set up Segway first before you can put it on go kart mode. Everything is great once you got it set up but the speaker failed (won’t charge anymore) after 2 months of purchasing. Not too happy about that since my kid is riding it and the sound might help deter incoming car.

Sturdy and durable hours of fun
I bought these Go-karts for my precious children, They were so excited. These Go-karts are loads of fun. My husband and I take them for a spin evey now and then (that’s when my children let us). They were quite easy to assemble and are very study. They have some serious weight to them, I believe there around 145lbs, that’s more than I weigh. Everywhere we go we get attention to when we bring the Go-karts out. Not to many people have them where we reside so there always a conversation starter with strangers at the park. I’m glad I purchased these for my kids.

Epic time
These brilliant nine bought go kart pro platforms are tube steel go karts on top of a very powerful Segway. Worth every penny and super fun. Use the app for the most amount of resources. It is challenging to synchronize the speaker and the car with one device.

Incredibly Fast/Fun
All expectations were met. The assembly was incredibly easy and fast. The Go Kart itself has more than enough speed and the handling is a 10. Drifting is easy as well.The only negatives was you have to check the screws frequently because with natural use screws will come loose and I’ve lost one already. Also, I can’t figure out how to get the motor sounds to work on the Bluetooth speaker.Other than that, the purchase is a 10/10 and everyone loves coming over to ride.

The Gokart is fun, but….
The segway that functions as the motor is lackluster, attached to the gokart is great and you can get up to 24mph. Remove the attachment and the ninebot only goes about 12 and when you do hit that limit, it annoyingly beeps and throttles your speed.The tires that come on the ninebot are not made for streets or blacktop at all, most of the roads in my neighborhood are smooth and recently paved, I put 119 miles and the tires are shredded, and replacements are expensive.I have a lot of fun with this thing, but for over 2k and a months worth of Acton, the value is just not there.

Wish it was cheaper but everyone loves it, so…
I did NOT want to spend this much on a go-kart but after we bought the regular Ninebot and go kart, our kids fell in love with it. We ALL ride it, and the neighbors ride it as well. We had a crew working on our street a few weeks ago and they loved it, so we grabbed another. The gray one goes really fast…you will all love it.

Absolute Fun!
My sons and I have had Segway S machines since Christmas and we’ve really enjoyed them. We considered getting the Go Kart kit for them but when I saw this I waited until Segway Ninebot released this to the pubic.The box it came in was all beat up, and some of the Styrofoam was broken, but the actual go kart was in perfect shape. It pretty much comes assembled fully. You just have to spend about 15 to 20 minutes putting the little pieces together and then plug it in for a full charge.I was skeptical about how well this is built until I got it. This thing is SOLID! The pedals are well-made, the frame feels very sturdy, steering assembly is solid, the speaker is a nice piece of equipment, the handbrake works incredibly well and I never feel any instability at any speed. A couple of people have ridden this that well-exceed 220 lbs and they were able to achieve the top speed. I did buy a compatible speedometer from eBay which costs like $40 to $50 at the time. Not sure what it is now. That is my only real complaint. They should have included a speedometer.So, all I have to say is WOW! This is nothing but pure fun. The acceleration is phenomenal. Much better than the standard gas combustion go karts you use on fun park tracks. It really puts you back in your seat like you are driving a Lamborghini (which I have driven) but it tops out at 23 mph. So basically you are at full speed in about 1 to 1.5 seconds.This thing is VERY low to the ground, but you do have enough clearance to avoid smashing the front on most entryways to driveways and sidewalks. You need to be really careful and use the flag it comes with. Cars are going to have a very hard time seeing you around any objects. I would be very apprehensive letting any child drive this on any public road in any neighborhood because of that reason alone. Try not to be too cool for helmets and extra pads for your knees and elbows. You never know when you have to make a really sharp emergency turn to avoid something and flip this over even though it would be hard to do (it is possible though).Because you’re so low, and obviously you are wide open to the outside, the 23 mph top speed is going to feel much faster than 23 mph in a car. That is what Space Mountain and Thunder Mountain at Disney World achieves for speed even though it seems much faster. This will satisfy a lot of thrill seekers.The steering is pretty sweet once you get used to it. At first it seems very jerky but it isn’t meant to be precise at slow speeds without power steering. After a while you’ll realize that it performs nicely at high speeds and rounding corners at high speeds is great once you get the hang of it. I have NOT been able to drift in this go kart because the roads in my neighborhood need to be paved. It’s impossible to drift. I need to find a place where the surface is smooth enough and then I’ll report back on it.The speaker really is a neat aspect of this. It is rechargeable but one thing to note is that it does take a while to recharge. It synchronizes with the pedals so that when you push the gas it revs up like a race engine. It is done almost perfectly. As you accelerate the sound becomes far-more aggressive. Not using this leaves you with a silent ride which isn’t nearly as much fun. You can also synch your iPhone to it and play your music instead, but I’d rather use the engine sounds. The only thing I didn’t like about it is that it did not come with English instructions. Just Chinese – I don’t know if that is something they forgot to put in there, or they just counted on people figuring it out. It wasn’t hard and the Segway app picked it up right away.The lighting effects are cool but the green headlight on this is basically useless in terms of illuminating what is in front of you. I imagine they did not put real headlights on this because they don’t want people driving at night in this. I imagine you can find external, battery operated lights to mount on both sides if you wanted to. I might try that down the road, but for now I’ll keep the night rides to a minimum.This comes with a knee-bar if you want to take the Ninebot S-Max out of it and use it like the Segway S models (hoverboard style). It’s better than what comes with the S, but it does not come with the full extension bar that you steer with your hands like purchasing the Ninebot S-Max separately gives you. I imagine that Ninebot will eventually offer this as an accessory but as of today they do not.This was a impulse purchase, but it is so much fun. The only issue is that there aren’t many places around to ride it. Even in my neighborhood, people park on the side of the road during the day and it gets hard to see cars coming. We’re going to find other places to take this to. This is a no-brainer if you’re looking for something really fun and aren’t worried about the cost.

I Have Bought THREE of Them! A Review One Year Later
The title is no lie, since I impulse bought mine with Biden Bucks last year, two of my family and friends have wanted one so they got theirs through me. We all have the pro model. This thing is so fun to take out on our roads and just drift and spin like crazy. I’m 6ft 190 and with it fully extended its a little tight and my knees definitely touch the steering wheel, but its really not a huge deal. Ill go over pros and cons.Pros:Super Fun, 23mph feels MUCH faster especially with the crazy acceleration these have. If the tires are fresh, the turning is very responsive and you can make a turn on a dime. There’s 4 speed modes if you have little kids or someone who is just learning.(But i never use anything but the fastest) There’s a companion app where you change the modes, lights, and other settings. There’s a drift slider where you can pick between understeer and full on drifting.Its just a Go kart kit on top of the Segway S Max, it also comes with the Knee bar so if you want to use it as a commuter, you can just take the S Max out of the back and put on the knee bar and boom, instant urban transport.There’s potential upgradability in the future! If Segway/Ninebot comes out with a S Max+ or Pro or whatever they call it, you can just swap it into the go kart frame and have a whole new go kart!The build quality is amazing, there’s rubber bumpers on the front and sides, a strong frame and adjustable length, the Allen wrench for adjusting it comes on the kart itself in a little slot on the side.Cons:The other review about the tires being bad, is partially true. depending on how you use it and what road surface its on, the tires can wear really fast. The review said in under 2 weeks they were already getting a torn up tire. They must have been going HARD to shred the tires like that. If you don’t drift they should last a long time. If you only go crazy with the drifting all the time, the tires wear very fast. And its true they aren’t sold on Ninebot’s website(almost nothing is available on their site), but they are on Aliexpress, which is where i have been getting mine, the rear ones are about $53 each at the time of writing this, pretty pricey for how fast they wear out. The front ones are about $48 each. The shipping time is quite longIf you drift a lot, the battery really isn’t all that great. It runs out super fast if you drift hard and weigh closer to the weight limit of the kart. Its because when drifting there’s so much resistance to the motor. If you just cruise, the battery actually is pretty decent. We have had ours for over a year and i’ve noticed a little bit of battery degradation but not a whole lot.There seems to be QC issues with the hand brake, the welds on mine were a little wonky and caused it not contact the tire. I contacted support and they asked for a ton of info including pics. Support was helpful, but I ended up solving the issue myself by bending it into place.All in all, this is an amazing toy, Everyone we drive by stares at us, they always say it looks so fun. Some have stopped me in the middle of the street wanting to know what these are and where to get them. If you have the extra spending money, its SO worth it!

So much fun!
My 9yr old son loves it. It has different speeds which where great when learning how to drive it. The seating area is just right and has a seat belt. The only thing is the battery doesn’t last long, then takes for ever to charge. This is disappointing but its still something cool to enjoy!

Not Bad
Segway: I’m not fond of how speed limiting is enforced. I’d rather it just stop going faster than what actually happens – the segway reclines backwards and slows down significantly while beeping. This occurs when going any faster than a jogging pace.Gokart: I’m 5’9 and ~200 lbs and the kokart is not very comfortable. The frame flexes when driving over any uneven surfaces. The seat cushioning has separated on one side after casual use over one summer. The cushioning appears to only be held in by small nails penetrating plastic.Bluetooth: You can pair it with your phone or the bluetooth speaker, but not both simultaneously. If you want to check battery life remaining or change lighting effects, you have to turn off the bluetooth speaker to sync with your phone again.I have no complaints about the battery life and power. It gets some pretty good speed in gokart mode, but you’ll feel every bump you drive over. The wheels, frame, and seat do nothing to dampen it.

Great ride and tons of fun, but beware of rapid Segway tire wear on hard drift use
This gokart is a crap ton of fun. Gets to top speed in just a second or two. I am 6ft/180ish and the fit is fine on length. Seat fits my hips well but snug, but some wider or heavier set people could feel a tighter pinch. Top speed I’ve hit without going down steep hills or any large straightaways is 23.9mph. Steeper hills or straight paths could push to 25+ in al likelyhood.Two downsides: battery life is not great when ripping at top speed, though it feels like endless range when you disconnect the transporter and use that instead of gokart mode. I went super wild for a couple weeks drifting on top speed and doing all kinds of spinouts in our fairly large circular driveway and one transporter tire is very worn now. I’m disappointed in that short life and found a replacement on Amazon, and they are not cheap. If you love racing Mario Kart style, be aware that the life will be severely shortened on tires. I’d even suggest rotating them maybe every couple rough rides on the Segway transporter since my other one is fairly fresh and rotating easily could have extended the life a bit. A third negative would be very low clearance – maybe 2 inches or so. Stick with pavement exclusively and you won’t be disappointed by the ride.

Cool concept but
Cute little go cart, but for the price that I expected more durability. It’s fast but it is compact- make sure to read measurements . But my biggest complaint is It literally lost its front bumper within the first week of usage and it is on regular asphalt flat road . It now makes a sound as if it’s rubbing against the bottom of some thing . I did email the company and they are asking for pictures, I have yet to get back to them but I will update this review if they are able to find us a reasonable Solution… SMH… Guess they just don’t make them like they used to. I would not purchase again or recommend to a friend .

Smiles all around
Very easy to assemble. Intuitive app and kart usage. The entire family has enjoyed a good rip on the Kart. I included a video of myself (the mother ;)) using it on the dirt road at max speed (track mode) super fun. T I’m certain off-road usage is not their intention it still does well. :)) it’s definitely more smooth of a ride on pavement, but heck, I had to give the dirt road a go! It’s a fun toy for everyone in our family from the youngest at 7 years old to me the oldest at 46 years old. We purchased two of them. Battery life is good depending on the “mode”. Ride hard at track mode and the battery depletes faster. When the kids ride them on sport mode the battery lasts a little longer. It’s pretty safe as long as the driver is in control.

Best Idea ever!
This was one of the best purchases I’ve made in a long time. I’ve been taking my son for a ride with me through the 18 hole golf course I live on. I would say battery life is 27 holes of golf.

Broke within a month
Go kart PRO was easy to assemble and fun to use… until it broke. It requires Bluetooth connection to run, so an app is required. The app is cool though because it keeps track of lap speeds and allows you to switch between different settings (safe mode, race mode, etc). My whole family had a great time using it!We used it a handful of times and then it started beeping and wouldn’t run. Contacted Segway customer service and based on the code it was giving they determined it could be a Bluetooth issue and they wanted it shipped to them so a tech could repair it. It’s still within the Amazon return window so they agreed a return was also a good idea. Disappointed that a $2000 toy would break so fast. It was a fun car but not sure I would purchase again for the fear that I’ll have the same trouble but not be so lucky to have a return window next time.

Easy Assembly, Great Experience, 10/10
The ninebot gokart pro is super easy to assemble straight out of the box. All you have to do is install the spoiler, flag (if you want to be seen while riding) and fix the gokart to where it’s comfortable to ride. The segway that comes with the box is also easy to turn in and out of the gokart, all you do is take off the attachment in the back, lift up the gokart, take the plate off the segway and install the knee turner and viola! You gain the top speeds by watching the tutorials on the segway app and by actually riding the kart, which is great as it goes over safety and stuff and makes sure you understand the kart.TL;DR: Easy assembly, reviews how to be safe while handling it before top speeds, and a great experience.

Fragile!
With not too many miles on it, the rear wing and front wing both are cracked (it’s think and low quality plastic) and we’re not hard on it. The frame also came bent – can’t see how we did it. It never quite screwed together right and the adjustment locks are terrible. The plate that connects the motor / battery pack to the frame also cracked – no idea how besides it being thin plastic.Company said to send it back and get it repaired – major pain – we’ll see how they treat us on the repairs.Also, be careful – when assembling, the motor started and scraped up my wife’s hand pretty bad. She wasn’t happy.After sending it back for warranty repair, they denied the frame bending – yet their warranty clearly covers that for 1 year. I asked for it to be returned and three weeks later, they still have not returned the kart. Absolutely frustrated and will not buy from Segway again. How do you give zero stars? Seeking other options.

so so fun for both kids and audits
It was so fun and I had to get another one (the gokart kit with ninebot s) for my 6yr old son. Super easy to assemble but pain in the butt to transport it, it’s a two person job to lift it and put it into my van or you can take the rear wheel out first then it will be much easier. Keep in mind that you can not pair both the gokart and speaker at the same time. If you want the speaker to play the engine sound, you need to first disconnect the gokart then pair the speaker and it should start playing the engine sound automatically. So you make sure you set your desired speed mode before you disconnect your gokart.

Speed demon!
So it’s really fast! The drifting is awesome and only put it in two wheels once, which tells me it’s fairly balanced weight distribution wise. Haven’t got speaker to work yet. Not sure what I’m doing wrong there. However, battery life really sucks. It might be my weight, maxed out, but I get roughly 1 mile on a full charge. Otherwise at 6ft tall I do say I fit. Seat is small and I don’t use the seat belt. Bought for gokart so won’t use the segway part. I live it though. Great escape from stress of the world.

Amazing but bumpy ride….
This GoKart is Amazing without a doubt, and it’s very fast! I love the design and so does my son who uses it more frequently. Only downside is, when on bumpy terrain, a seat cushion would be so much better to avoid all the reverberation. Plus when drifting your knee hits the middle section near the steering wheel. All in all some very slight modifications would make this a total 5 stars in my book.

Limited Warranty
This gokart was extremely fun, looks amazing, and well put together. However the warranty on an item like this should be longer than one year. Mine stopped working completely a little passed year two and no sign of repairs even possible anytime soon. I am extremely upset at the very short cut and dry warranty on this item. I only had 55KM of use and cannot use it again. It simply does not powered up and never had any wreck or issues with it prior.

Does not work with Segway app.
We have ordered three of these go karts. Only one has worked straight out of the box. Had to send one back bc on segways app the go kart won’t come up as an option. Sent it back and ordered a replacement. New one is doing the same thing. Of course there’s zero support after 5pm on Friday so have to wait AGAIN until someone finds the email on Monday. For a $2k go kart you’d think they’d make sure their product has the correct firmware or software so that they’d work. Since the kart transforms into a standing Segway I thought ok I’ll go ahead and choose what the app is suggesting off Bluetooth. The kart took off by itself across the driveway. App telling me to step on the kart. It finally hit the truck trie to slow it down and we powered it off. Kinda dangerous.Super frustrating. That all being said the kart that works is super fun.

How fun it is
It’s a fast little one where acceleration is deff a kick. I use it around my community and drifting on it is always the highlight of my day. For its size and my size (240 pound 6 foot adult) it handle pretty well. If you want tons of fun this is definitely a buy. Makes me feel like I’m 17 again.

Amazing Go cart
Amazing go cart, relatively simple to assemble. The top speed and acceleration is much better then our ninebot kit carts. Very fun this one moves out of its own way. Wish the seat was a little wider and the spoiler in front of the cart gets bent if not driven on completely flat surface, so watch that. But aside from the minor stuff totally thrilling.

100% AWESOME FOR KIDS AND 85% AWESOME FOR ADULTS
This thing is RAD!! It’s got it all except…. I love the look, the durability, the app, control, drifting, it’s clean, easy to transport and store! It’s a SAGWAY so it’s very reliable!! Two things I don’t like so much one was an easy fix. The seat doesn’t fit a normal size adult. So I took off the two black pads and we all fit perfectly comfy!! Only took about 15 mins to remove the extra clean! The other thing I don’t like that I can’t seem to fix is it only goes 23 mph?? It feels fast at first and is great for kids but if you say it’s for adults too it should do at least 35? That would be sooooooo much more fun for adults!! Hopefully they come out with an adult mode in the future? If they do I’ll hunt this down and change it!!! I LOVE THAT ITS ALSO A NINEBOT MAX S! I have a LOOMO it’s nice to be able to take the max s off the kart and let my friends ride along with me while I’m on LOOMO!! I paid 1800 for mine with all the accessories so I feel like that was a good deal. Thanks Segway for so many awesome products through the years!

Very cool and well made. Just not for 6’2 180lb men
The cart was very well built and nice. It is not for people over 6 foot or over 200lbs. It had no problem pulling or pushing the weight it was just a tight fit. It is not made for road bumps or small cracks. This is perfect for flat solid surfaces or (Competent) kids that don’t mind getting a little banged up. Very good product just not for me. I sent it back with no problems so far.

Be Aware Replacement Battery is not available
Purchased this unit last year as a gift for the family. The unit was everything that was advertised. Less than a year later the battery failed to charge with an error code indicating the battery has failed.Unfortunately, Segway does not sell a replacement battery. Their default answer is to send this to the Paid Repair shop that is opening at the end of 2022.No holding out hope that a battery will be available any time soon. Be aware that you will not be able to repair the NineBot S-Max if the battery fails making the unit worthless.

Fun While it Lasted
This was EXTREMELY fun!!! However, I just wished the tired were more durable drifting. I am only 140lbs 5’8 as well, and after going on a swervy bike trail with my other buddies to race, the tires were all ripped and had holes in them after like 4 days of mild/heavy drifting during the races.

So small ,but yet FAST!!!
My first initial thought was to buy a gas powered go kart, but I wanted to give the electric movement a chance. I was so close to returning this because my Bluetooth would not let me connect to it and pair. Pairing is required by a smartphone in order to access the whole go kart and unlock its speeds settings. Other than that this thing is amazing ! I bought it for my daughter, but have decided to use it more lol! Amazon let me pay it off in 12 months and that’s the only reason I bought this! Other wise I would let of spent $2k on a toy !! If your under 220LB and no more than 5’10 you’ll be fine. It’s tight and low and use track mode!

It’s worth it if you want a toy.
So I have probably put 50-60 miles already since having it for 5 days now. I can definitely give a fair review based on the amount of Segway Ninebots we have.Pros:Acceleration is amazing.Length is definitely not comfortable at 6ft plus but more like 5-8 5-9 range and 175. I’m 5’4″ and 160s…so if I’m saying it’s tight…its tight.Easy handling at tight short turns as expected for a go-kart. On the street, once you hit max speed, it gets TOUCHY. I mean small movements make large changes in your direction.Drifting is ok. I like it at shopping parking lots or any open parking lots like parks and schools. Open road is iffy on comfort and traction/turnsCons:Not meant for long uses. I ride it hard at track speed and get MAYBE a solid hour of straight riding on a parking lot.I’ve ran out of juice going 6 miles on track speed and needed a ride home (1 1/2 miles away)Overall all its a 9/10 for me. Absolutely fun and everything you wanted as a kid. There’s plenty of YouTube reviews and have great insights on what to expect before dropping $2k…also I dropped the $2k 5 days before it was $1800 🙄🙄🙄

Recommend!
I have the white Ninebot Gokart S and it’s NOTHING campares to this one ! It might be a little more but it’s soooo worth it ! This design DEFINITELY BEATS the white Ninebot S. The speed is wayy faster and can go up hills a lot better. But overall, both are GREAT PRODUCTS ! They last awhile before having to charge it up again and we use them alllll the time. I prefer this over a gas guzzling regular gokart any day ! You can compact it to fit in your car and take it anywhere as well, that’s a plus ! I bought the white one first about 9 months ago and it’s still in really good condition and we’ve used the heck out of it so when I say DURABLE AND LONG LASTING I MEANT IT ! My daughter loves these, she does a certain speeds (she’s 6). They have safety mode, new rider mode, sports mode and Track mode. She does the first 2 and occasionally (when no cars or people are around) sports mode. It’s safe enough. RECOMMEND!!

An absolute blast!
I bought this for my sons birthday and what a blast, so glad I upgraded to the pro. At a top speed of 23Mph, its plenty fast enough for my 10 yr old, it’s also quiet, adjustable from a sizing and speed standpoint and unlike other Segway/Ninebot products doesn’t give up on slight hills/inclines. Drawbacks we’ve encountered – steering wheel cracked on the first day…(yep that was painful, chalked it up to being a defect and hoping to get it replaced at no cost), the battery takes a long time to charge (a faster charger would be nice), the ground clearance is worthless (great for tracks, pavement, concrete) not great on stone, gravel or grass, lastly the “headlight” is not a headlight, more of an accent or mood lighting.*All in all, I’d spend the money again and wish I had a fleet of them to race around the neighborhood.

CAME INCOMPLETE!
The Gokart Pro came in a beat up box, missing all of the hardware, the wing, the speaker, and THE CHARGER! After reaching out to Amazon and Segway, I was basically told there was nothing they could do. I found a charger on EBay for $80, and got some hardware from Home Depot. Once I was able to use it, my son and I had an absolute blast on it until the charger died (lasted about a month). We reached out to Segway again, and was told that we already had a report for that issue pending and there was nothing they could do. It’s been such a frustrating process, and even though it’s a super fun toy, it simply hasn’t been worth the hassle or money.

Faster than expected
I know it says 23 mph but with the sound effects and being so low to the ground it feels much faster. I’m impressed. Quality is great. I would recommend this for adults and maybe not the pro for children

Falling apart right under a year of use – Customer service is horrible!
My kids have had a blast on this unit. Unfortunately as we got close to 1 year, the side cushions popped off. I’ve emailed and called and chatted with support over 10 times, and each time they tell me someone will get in touch. I 1st contacted them early august before my 1 year warranty, and now that they’ve taken over a month to escalate the issue, they claim I’m out of warranty and want me to pay to ship the unit for repair at my own expense!! SEGWAY HAS LOST IT’S DAMN MIND!! I will have to go the duct tape route to avoid them falling off. I’m beyond disappointed that such a recognized brand could have such bad customer service! and the nerve to claim that I’m out of warranty when they are the ones who took weeks to get back to me!

FUN even for my 6year old
So much fun, my 6 year old fits on it in the closest up position. Great battery life, app is very easy to use, so much fun, a few different max speed options to use (via app). I recommend to anyone.

This thing is fun!
This gokart is so much fun, it’s got a lot of power and is exciting for everyone who rides it. My 5 year old niece rode, and my mother rode and everyone loves the experience.
