Fuzion Cityglide B200 Adult Kick Scooter w/ Hand Brake - 220lb Weight Limit - Folds Down - Adjustable Handle Bars - Smooth & Fast Ride

Just thought others would appreciate this info as my older daughter has the big wheeled red scooter from razor. And this Fuzion was purchased for my younger son who was always stealing the big wheeled scooter from his sister, causing friction, fights, and family strife.Opened on Christmas day, I had approximately 20 seconds to examine the Fuzion, and after the handle was pulled up and extended (10 second assembly), that sucker was gone...and I was left holding the box and packing material. I have subsequently had a chance to go for a short ride myself...Here are the pro's and con's...in my opinion.1. razor build quality is probably more than a tad better, but both are built pretty well. I have always been nervous about the removable handles on these scooters coming off or loose, but I have never seen that happen and my kids ride these things hard. The Fuzion handle system is basically the same as the Razor but there is also a 3 position safety "catch" or button that keeps the up/down adjustment on the front handle from slipping in addition to the friction device at the top, where the Razor has just one catch on the top. It's a minor difference.2. Here is what I like better about the Fuzion. The "rake" is much more pronounced. By "rake" I mean the angle that the handle and front wheel projects backwards from the front wheel and frame. This was huge for me because when I ride the Razor, the front handle projects almost straight up from the front wheel, so the dang thing is super tricky to ride, and the wheel is so easy to turn the scooter can get away from you really easily (that doesn't bother my daughter a bit, however, she rides that thing like a crazed monkey, so her risk analysis machine is working differently than mine). On the Fuzion, the scooter is much more stabilized because your weight is trying to straighten the front wheel slightly resulting in a much more stable ride.3. Add to this that the wheel base and area where your feet ride are slightly longer (maybe 3 more inches) on the Fuzion, and that also creates more stability, not to mention a longer spot for my size 11 foot. I guess the flip side to this is that the Fuzion is larger when you park it in my already crowded garage, but worth it.4. There is one thing that I can't say is better on the fuzion, which is the brake. The brake is aluminum on the Razor, but some kind of metal that almost feels like plastic (perhaps it is aluminum that is black oxidized??). The brake looks like a fender over the rear wheel, and when you step down on it that causes friciton and stopping force. The actual brake force on the Fuzion is much less than the Razor. My son (7 years old) in full gusto on his first ride down our wet driveway on Christmas day (the kid has a bad speed meter, coupled with very little reason, and keep in mind that the Emergency rooms are half staffed at this hour and fully overloaded) at about 3 miles per second, finds out the scooter isn't slowing down to his satisfaction, so before he flies off the driveway and into the trees, he ejects himself onto the concrete and lets go of the scooter. Now most reasonable people would adjust some of these conditions during the subsequent re-attempts at this maneuver, or listen to his father's advice about more brake force and sooner, but it took him 3 attempts with the same results to get this information into his nugget. That is now fully resolved, without any trips to the ER, only minimal scratches to the 7 year old and Fuzion, and should not be a problem again...5. One thing I can't really comment on is the mechanism that allows the handle to actually fold down. The Fuzion solution doesn't look as elegant as the Razor, but as far as function, I could care less, because at this house we don't break them down. So I won't attempt to comment on which one is better. Maybe I should break them down for storage, because both of these items are constantly left in my garage in amongst the cars, waiting to either get run over or smashed by a unsuspecting parent, and the rest of the time they refuse to stay where they are parked (usually against some other object, bike, car, wall, workbench)and fall over making for excellent tripping devices. Somebody invent a way to park these things and have them hold still so I can buy that and not have to invent the dang thing myself...OK EDIT HERE... After reading other folks reviews about the folding mechanismn, I went out and took another look. I must say that the Razor takes this one hands down. The Razor has nice thick welded aluminum pieces here that look pretty sturdy, where the Fuzion is a maze of stuff hidden inside a metal box, that has pop rivets holding the outside together, so I can't really see inside too well, but it just doesn't look as elegant or sturdy as the Razor, and I can see where this thing takes a lot of force from old men riding their kids scooters, so take it easy on this one...So, my conclusion... I like the Fuzion a tad better for longer scooter, more "rake" on the steering, but it is short on brake force and requires some user to adjust their brake patterns (especially those with slow processors in their nuggets). As for the Razor, it's a tad bit superior construciton quality, but also less stable to ride, with great brakes.My personal vote is a slight nod to the Fuzion, assuming you are not too heavy and put that folding mechanism to the test.The Fuzion is quite a bit cheaper, but I tried to keep that out of my comparison. I try to buy things based on quality and function rather than price when it is something that gets used a lot, and both of these items are getting big mileage at this house. You can't really go wrong with either scooter, and if it weren't for Razor coming to market as an excellent quality product these things would have fizzled long ago. Thank's for that, Razor.OH, wear a helmet when you ride and make your kids do the same...Merry Christmas!

I was torn between the Razor A5 Lux, the Razor Cruiser, and this scooter. I went with the Fuzion CityGlide despite a couple of negative reviews, and so far I couldn't be happier with my decision. I'm an adult (and then some), 5'8" 175 lbs, with large feet. The deck on the StreetGlide is bigger than the A5, and lower than the Cruiser. The handle bars reach higher than the A5, and much higher than the Cruiser (but also have two lower settings for kids). These things make this a great scooter for big "kids" like me. Actually, I'm using it at work.....in a giant factory where I waste too much time walking. Several of the guys started riding scooters, so I tried my daughters little razor out and found it was a great way to get around. Now I'm cruising around the factory floor in style and everyone wants to trade me for their Razor! A couple of notes:* I read reviews mentioning issues with the folding lock. I'll post if I have any issues, but so far no problems and works very smooth and easy. I suspect it might be something that is subject to breakage if manhandled, so I'm being just a little careful with it.* I've seen wheel spin tests where the A5 wheel keeps spinning long after the CityGlide wheel stops, but I can tell you that this thing rolls just fine. I haven't done any quantitive test, but subjectively it seems to coast as long or longer than my Daughter's razor.* The big wheels are great, but so is a stiff low deck for easy kicking. This has both covered perfectly, and it makes for a smooth ride with easy kicks. It also makes for a safer ride as the wheel size and wheel base make it far less likely to catapault fwd because of a pebble or other object. Overall, the ride is MUCH smoother than a small razor with small wheels. I don't write many product reviews, but I was inspired to give this a big thumbs up. I love a good value, and this is it in spades. Time will tell if it stands up, but it seems to have good build quality, good materials, and good engineering. If cruising is what you have in mind........go with it and be happy. If thrashing is what your about, maybe consider spending more on a razor pro.Happy Scooting

I bought my scooter at the beginning of the year for commuting to the train station and then for use around London. I absolutely love it! It was really easy to put together and is very easy to fold down for use on the train. It has halved my journey time outside of London and has taken a 35 min walk down to 20 min in central London. The only negative is bumpy pavements can be quite noisy on the scooter. I would definitely recommend one to everyone, not only has it made my journey quicker I have saved money by not getting the tube!

Bought for my daughters birthday, it’s a nice size as she’s tall for her age. The brakes work well. On the whole she enjoys this item but it can be a kerfuffle folding it up and down and doesn’t seem as smooth a ride as other scooters.

I'm new to scooters, have nothing to compare to, but in my opinion handbrake seems convenient on the good weather conditions and nearly becomes non existent when the surfaces get wet, however the rear leg-managed brake works well enough in any conditions. This scooter rides well on nice surfaces, becomes a bit noisy on rougher ones.

On first look/use this seems like a good scooter - it looks good, it rides well and the additional brake really makes it standout. In fact, the reason I eventually chose this model was because of the front brake.The big fault with all scooters is that they rely on the friction between the rear mudguard and the wheel to slow down, and this not only damages the tyre, but it also wears a hole in the mudguard and the scooter becomes unusable long before any major parts wear out. This form of brake is also not very effective, especially going downhill, and in the wet it becomes almost useless. So the idea of a second brake seemed really useful - it also struck me as safer, as it's easier to pull a brake lever on the handlebar than swing your foot round behind the other foot and push down on the mudguard.However, I'm afraid I have to report that this additional brake is next to useless. It has very little impact on the speed of the scooter, so that you still have to use the rear brake most of the time, and in the rain it simply doesn't work at all. It may look like a bike brake, but it isn't, it doesn't work in the same way and is practically useless.But, leaving that aside, the scooter was still worth 4 or 5 stars (it might have lost half a star for the handle bars not being very adjustable - there are only two positions - too low and too high!). However, after less than two months of use, the front wheel bearing collapsed, making the scooter completely unusable. Luckily, I had kept the wheels from an earlier scooter (which had had a different 'fatal' problem!) and was able to replace the wheel - thus saving me all the hassle of getting the scooter repaired or replaced.This is such a serious fault as to warrant reducing my rating to just one star (you can't give any less!). Of course, we may have been unlucky, but can you take the chance that this was just a one-off? To my mind, the wheel bearings are the most critical part of a scooter, and the very part that makes these type of scooters what they are, so it's the one part you expect to be of the highest quality, and the one part you should reasonably be able to expect not to fail.There is one other thing to consider when buying this scooter, as was demonstrated just two weeks later - it's very stealable! With it's gold finish and its front brake it really stands out, so it needs to be locked up whenever left. Unfortunately, ours wasn't, it was left by the front door after school one day, just for half an hour or so, and some bastard picked it up and ran off with it - just two weeks after I'd replaced the wheel.So, if you do buy this scooter, look after it!And a rather hypocritical PS:After telling you not to buy this scooter, I have just gone a bought almost the same one again! When the original scooter was stolen, I had to buy another very quickly (trying to get our 8 year old to walk to school was proving very trying!), so I reasoned that the same scooter without the front brake was at least a known quantity - and a bit cheaper (and I didn't have time to do hours of research). And if one of the wheels did go, I at least I have another spare wheel! Let's hope I haven't made an expensive mistake.And this one will be chained up at all times!!-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Edit Jan 2018:Both wheel bearings have failed after just 10 months use. I managed to replace the front wheel with one I salvaged from an old scooter, but couldn't swap the back wheel because it's very slightly larger and fouls the rear brake. So I have to buy yet another scooter!Definitely do NOT buy a scooter from this company - the most important part, the wheel bearings, just aren't good enough quality.

Overall not a bad scooter, it's light enough to move easily. The only bug bear that I have is the brake lever size; I know it has adult written all over it but I bought this for my son, who is small and the brake lever is too big for his hands. Simple solution, swap out the break lever for a smaller one which is more kid size. I bought this scooter because I prefer its lager wheels, the smaller wheeled scooters are prone to throwing you off if you get the tiniest pebble jarred under the wheels.I tried this scooter out on a smooth tarmac and moderately rough surface and this scooter rode well. If you're a parent and bought this for your child, then there is a holdall style handle to carry the scooter, for when your little darling can scoot no more.There is a foot brake at the back too for all the traditionalist scooter riders.
