Slider The Unscooter U6 Three Wheel Action Scooter Slider The Unscooter is the Best Action & Fitness Product of 2007. A Three-wheel action scooter with removable handle pole and  handle bars, and the only one of it's kind with dual handbrakes, three-wheel steering and 'Action Decks' TM technology designed to propel you without your feet touching the ground -- Scissor Action: Pivot both feet all the way out then all the way back in -- Roller Blading Action: Steer and pivot to the left as you shift your weight to your right leg and push out to the right, then steer and pivot to the right while shifting your weight to your left leg and pushing out to the left -- Slalom Action: Same as Roller Blading Action except you shift your weight and both feet to one side then the other - like skiing. Turning: Slow turns are accomplished normally by turning the handlebars in the direction you wish to turn while keeping your feet shoulder width apart. Faster turns will require some practice since the rear wheels will also begin to steer in an arc around the front wheel; use the brakes to slow and begin by turning in the opposite direction (countersteer) to slow the rate at which the back pivots around. Always lean forward and into the direction you wish to go while pushing out with the outside foot. www.unscooter.com

My favorite mobile exerciser!
I have been riding the U6 for several months now and have really enjoyed it. I like it so much (and so do my sons) I had to buy the U8 so they would leave my PINK U6 alone!! We live in Florida and have no hills, so I can ride this anywhere. This is the only exercise routine I have been able to stick with and many want to know where I got my funky scooter. I have toned up and lost a couple pants sizes with my increased activity riding this scooter. Now with a 2nd one, I can drag my girlfriends out with me for some daily exercise. For those who hate to exercise, I highly recommend this scooter!

* Fully Welded Steel Frame * Features Real Handlebars and Bicycle Stem * Scooter Dimensions: 49in L x 34in W x 24in H / Weighs: 20 lbs. * 14in Inflatable Tires * Bicycle Sidepull Brakes

Built like a bicycle, this sophisticated scooter offers real handlebars, a bicycle stem, spoked wheels, and a steel frame to create a solid vehicle.

Solid Scooter
I ordered this item for my son for Christmas and found it fairly easy to put together (always a plus!). The brakes gave me some difficulty until I figured them out but other than that it was easier than other toys I've had to assemble. My son hasn't used it much yet (we live in northern PA and it's a little cold out to be riding a scooter around) but he's tried it out and is very comfortable with the way it handles. It appears to be a solidly built scooter and doesn't look as if it will break easily (another plus when you're talking about a scooter bought for a 12 year old boy!). All in all, I would recommend this scooter to anyone looking for something to ride off-road (the bike tires are the main reason I went with this model instead of one of the Razor scooters -- Razors may be nice but they don't work well on gravel and dirt roads).

Razor eSpark Electric Scooter

* Motor cruises at speeds of up to 10 mph; up to 40 minutes of use per charge * Sleek electric spark scooter with ultra-quiet, high torque chain-driven motor * Inspired by the Razor?s original E100 electric scooter with real sparking action * Step on the foot controlled, detachable Spark Bar and watch the sparks fly! * Twist-Grip Acceleration Control and Hand-operated front brake
Razor eSpark Electric Scooter Razor eSpark Electric Scooter:  Light up your electric ride with real sparks! Inspired by Razor’s original E100 electric scooter with real sparking action. Cruise around the neighborhood in style with the Razor eSpark Electric Scooter. Step on the Spark Bar and watch the sparks fly! Boasting a chain-driven, high-torque motor, and a handy twist-grip throttle, the eSpark is the perfect device for pre-teens and teens wanting to zip over to a friend's house or head to the park. Unlike Razor's E300S and E500S scooters; whose motors start from a standing position, the eSpark Scooter  requires a small manual kickoff to 3 miles per hour before starting (the rider presses a trigger to engage the motor). Once the rider is on the move, however, the electric motor ramps up to 10 miles per hour; fast enough to have fun, but not fast enough to be a menace on the street or sidewalk. And thanks to the long-life rechargeable twin 12-volt battery, which takes about eight hours to fully charge, riders can cruise for up to 40 minutes at a stretch. Other details include a folding handlebar mechanism for easy storage and transport, an 8-inch pneumatic front tire and 125 mm polyurethane rear wheel, and a hand-operated front brake. Also includes, two Spark cartridges, UL Approved battery charger, manual, and assembly tools. The eSpark is recommended for riders ages 8 and older and offers a maximum weight capacity of 120 pounds.

Razor A5 Lux Scooter Every child will love the Razor A5 Scooter. It has an extra long, wide deck.

Cheaper than Xootr, Know-Ped and other adult scooters
I was deciding between the Razor A5, the Pro, the Xootr (and all its variations) and the Know-Ped.  And, of course, just plain old walking, but what's the fun in that?
In the end, I'm a cheap, stingy guy and wanted to figure out what would carry my weight without breaking, for the lowest price.  The Razor A5 Lux does the trick.
I actually tried the Xootr -- it's an awesome ride, and if you have >$200 to shell out, go for it.  I didn't feel like sinking another Benjamin into what amounted to an adult toy -- although I think "adult toy" has some other connotations that I'm not intending here.
Anyhow, what's nice about the Razor A5 Lux is that it folds up quickly -- no separate pin to pull out and lose (like the Xootr), there's a built in spring-loaded pin that you pull up, and snaps back in once it's folded.  The whole thing is compact enough, once folded, that I can bring it on a moderat...

Not bad for the price... but
For the price the bike is not bad, if your looking to use it just to exercise or just cruise the bike is great. If your looking to  actually ride the mountains and go through rough terrain this is not the bike for you.. the rear shock is pretty much useless the front shock is horrible when you press the front brakes the front shock wobbles its not made well at all.. as far as absorbing the bumps the front shock is ok... the brakes are ok and the gears are good.  When I received the bike it was very easy to assemble I just had to bring it to a bike shop to adjust the gears so they shift properly other then that... I give the bike 4 stars. Can't beat the price.

I really like this bike
I bought this bike a few months ago mainly to ride back a forth to work (about a mile each way) but I like riding it so much I find myself looking for excuse to ride it more. The 21 gears change smoothly, the brakes work really well and are quiet. The seat is even fairly comfortable and the dual suspension gives a good ride. I really like the way it looks and I get compliments on it too, so I guess I am not the only one that thinks that. I had it assembled so I cannot comment on the instructions. I am not a avid cyclist and I know it does not compare to the really expensive bikes those kind of people ride but for exercise and fun riding you cannot beat it.

Nice bike for preteen girls
I bought this bike for my 11 years old dauther we are very happy with it. Easy to assemble, no tools requiered to adjust seat height, looks pretty durable. I would have prefer a diferent color like pink and white, but it looks nice as it is.

Shimano shifters, derailleurs, and brake levers provide excellent control, while the pro max crank and pro wheel brake calipers take care of the power.

The perfect Solution!
This bike was my perfect solution in finding a reasonably priced larger 20" frame. The components on the bike are respectable but i have done some upgrading. Upgrading the bike was simple with it being very servicable and ordering all the needed tools here on Amazon. I will make a list of all the specifics for part replacement below.
1. 13-28 freewheel: using a Park Tool FR-1 to remove the stock freewheel. I had to replace a faulty freewheel shortly after getting the bike. I replaced it with a shimano 13-28 freewheel which is the exact same as the stock freewheel.
2. 68x127 bottom bracket: Using a Park Tool BBT-22 to remove the Semi Sealed stock bottom bracket. You will also need a Park Tool BBT-7 lockring wrench to remove the lockring on the stock bottom bracket. I replaced the old bracket after a failed bearing with a SHIMANO BB-UN54 sealed cartridge bottom bracket size 68x127. It was a great replacement.
All together I am very happy with this bike! It is...
