how does it handle for going of curbs or doing tricks I have an original razor scooter that I play around on, like going off curbs or just doing tricks and I was wondering how the razor pro handles impact. The razor I have is fairly old and it doesn't have shocks like some of the newer models, so when you try jumping of walls a couple of feet high and land on your scooter, you don't always make it. On the razor pro, is it light enough to jump the same height as a regular razor scooter? Would I be better off purchasing a razor scooter with front wheel shocks? I'm about 166lbs. and 6'3" and so far the weight limit hasn't been a big deal. Does it really matter how much I weigh? how does it handle for going of curbs or doing tricks I have an original razor scooter that I play around on, like going off curbs or just doing tricks and I was wondering how the razor pro handles... » Read More how does it handle for going of curbs or doing tricks I have an original razor scooter that I play around on, like going off curbs or just doing tricks and I was wondering how the razor pro handles impact.

yeah I doubt it not to many pros can do that and if he was that good than he wouldn't have an a1 thats bull!

ok first of all the razor pro scooter is the best ever. You could go off a ten foot drop and land it. All you have to do is really compress as you hit. The pro is bigger to. front shocks suck there heavy and fall apart. It does not matter if you weigh 166 because it is so durable.

works great super sturdy. it'll last a lot longer than an original a scooter. it might weigh a little more but it doesn't affect how high i jump. i rode a razor with front shocks and the springs fell out so it callapsed on the front wheel and it can't move with my pressure. it depends what kind of rider you are. if you're an aggressive rider that does tricks i highly recommend the pro, but if you just commute on a fairly smooth surface a regular razor will last a little while, but won't last as long as the pro.

Its takes more pressure for doing jumps,curbs, and tricks my son has a A2 and he gets like 5 feet of air and his scooter is basicly brok in half.

From what I can tell. I am 6 feet 217 pounds and ride this thing very well. My kids have A2's and the difference is big. The pro is made stronger and has a thicker tube clamp for tricks. The weight is about the same. Amazon does have the best price on the net for the Pro. Get it you won't be disappointed.

Hello Isaias, To be honest, I measured the wheels in inches, then converted to mm. There is absolutely no difference in wheel size. The only difference, that I can see, between the Fuzion Cityglide and Razor A5 is the color, the handle grips, and the ability to hold a 200 lb. weight. Cityglide does not indicate how much weight it can sustain, but I am 125 lbs. and have had no problems at all. The only scooter which is a little more different than these two Razors is the Razor RDS ("dirt scooter") which has soft rubber wheels and look slightly larger. Both the Razor A5 and Cityglide have hard rubber wheels which sometimes make it hard to run on pebbles and railroad tracks. I am going to replace my hard wheels with soft rubber (similar to bicycle wheels) for a more smoother ride. Hope this helps! :D

My 9 year old grandson does okay with the Scooter. However, adult supervision is a must when switching from Rockboard with up/down action. Little fingers can be injured. This is not my grandson's favorite scooter. He is very active but doesn't like the switching back and forth between rocking and no rocking mode. Is it safe? With adult supervision.

If she can balance pretty well she will do ok. My daughter got her share of scraps and bumps learning to handle the scooter. If a sidewalk has an uneven surface, she may tumble head first. She even got a good mark on her cheek from the corner of the handle bar. Make sure the handle bar is adjusted for her height. My daughter is 6 now and still rides it. I have definitely been getting my monies worth. Good luck.

My son is 3.5 years old, but he can use these scooters. He feels he needs to do whatever his older brothers are doing, and masters quickly before his age thanks to his brothers!. In the beginning he fell a lot, but mastered quickly. My son is very active and a climber, so he is very coordinated as well. the 3 wheel ones were boring already when he was about 2 years old... I guess it depends on the child, and you need to pay close attention so he wont hit hard if he falls, especially learning process, wear helmet etc. Id get the razor A scooter, and try . If you feel he is not ready for it, then you can put it away for while and take it out later to try again. My son is 3.5 years old, but he can use these scooters.

Hmm....I purchased the E 200 and the E 300 electric scooters.I don't feel my 8 year old girl is ready for either one quite yet ... she is not a daredevil with a razor scooter.I actually got the E200 for my boy at age 9 ... he was fine with it and even fine with the E300If your child is coordinated and really good with a razor ... it should be fine.None of our family is over 170 lbs and the E200 model will get going easily without pushing off , this could intimidate small children at first.good luck.

My son is 7 and rides it without issues. Your son will grow into it, and the larger tires handle bumps far better than the 4" razor wheels. Tire wise, it's much safer. Get tuff skin for the tires, which protects the tubes when off-roading.

The fuzion site ad clearly says 165 pounds. The razor a5 says220. They appear to be virtually identical. I,m 205...guess I'll ride it till it (i bought the cityglide)disintegrates. Should add excitement. I.m just going to cruise as that is what it is for.

i disagree. i had problems getting up steep hills with this scooter so i returned it. i am a 180 lb man and this scooter is not designed for adults who go long distances or up steep hills.

My oldest son who is 11 bought this scooter this fall. He loves it!! He has two younger brothers who are 9 & almost 8 (January birthday). Both of them are able to ride it. I am a bit nervous about the youngest one, so I only let him ride on it if I am outside with them. They wear their helmets and the younger ones drive pretty safely. The 11 year old is the "wild one" that I have to keep on. It seems pretty safe to me. I don't let my youngest go down our driveway. We live in the country and our driveway is long and fairly steep. Hope this helps :-)

I have to admit that I was skeptical at first since I was accustomed to a long handle. After a year of use, I find that I have a light touch with the short handle that has virtually eliminated razor burn. I also find that I have excellent control with the short handle. I hold the handle with two or three fingertips in the middle of the handle. The razor head is heavy enough to do the work for me, so I just guide the razor where it needs to go. The technique takes a little getting used to, but I really prefer the Merkur 34C now. I have large hands, but have no issues with this razor. Hope this helps.

I've ridden it around the block and also over rough asphalt, and it is generally ok. I would say it's about the same capability as a skateboard or inline skates. If it's a bump that you wouldn't want to ride over with your skateboard or inline skates, it won't be easy with the Sbyke either. There's a possibility of changing the rear wheels to larger wheels to go over bumps better, but no one at Sbyke has answered my question about what's the largest wheel size it can accommodate, and whether a larger wheel will affect handling. Another potential issue when riding over sidewalks is if you cross sloping driveways, it takes some finesse to keep it under control and not let it steer downward the sloping driveway.

Since this is mostly used by kids I'd say 150lbs or less. It's been used by people at 215lbs and while it works fine, the scooter is made for stunts and more weight means more stress on it. You'd need to check with the manufacturer for specific and legal weight specifications.

I am a mom of two boys 10 & 6 and they love their maxi scooter. I recently got a razor scooter for myself (because razor is so much cheaper) so that I can ride along with my sons, but it was a mistake. It is so hard to balance on a razor that it was not relaxing or enjoyable at all and also the handlebar came up too short). So I am getting a maxi for myself. I am about 5'1" and weigh less than the maximum weight limit and have ridden my sons' maxi many times and found it very enjoyable. The handlebar comes up just about high enough.

Hello. My son is 4 and he loves this scooter. I bought the adult version for me and my wife. And we love them. The nice thing with this scooter is it will last and grow with your child as the arm support extends. The scooter has been ridden by my 12 year old nephew and he wants one. I have nothing negative to say about this scooter
