Amazon.com Product Description

It has a maximum weight capacity of 175 pounds.

Carve deep smooth turns, slide, or air out--it's all up to you.

Foot Placement
You can place your feet anywhere that is comfortable. Most people like a parallel stance with toes facing forward and feet slightly spread forward and back. Learning to kick with either foot, foot brake, and slide turns with either foot, means you will be free to develop your own style of riding.

Turning The Asphalt
The Fuzion Asphalt Ultimate Carving Machine has independent control of the front and rear wheel steering. The front wheels steer the front of the Asphalt when the handle bars are turned, just like a car or bicycle. The back wheels turn the back of the Asphalt when the deck and the handlebars are leaned (banked) from side to side, like a skateboard. By using different combinations of leaning and steering you will quickly be carving and sliding all kinds of turns.

Stopping Techniques
Controlling speed and stopping are basic riding skills that must be learned. You must learn to foot brake and slide turns in order to slow down and stop. Effective braking requires practiced technique, well fitting skate shoes, smooth clean pavement, and room to turn that is free of obstacles, pedestrians, and cars or other traffic. It is very dangerous to ride faster than your ability to turn, slow down and stop. Please exercise good judgment, ride within your skill level, and remain safe.

Customer Reviews

This thing is a beast!
I am 16 and I tried this out at the park a few days ago. This thing is so fun to ride! It can lean side to side, and the front turns, all indenepently so you can choose how much to bank in a turn. I don't understand why this is being sold at Toys 'R' Us, considering it's something that would appeal more to adults. You can get into the high 30s if you found a big enough hill.

The wheels are the only problem, whether to cut production costs or save kids lives by reducing speed, it does hamper it's abilities to carve since they are made of plastic.

If you really plan to buy this, and want it to go as smooth and fast as possible, find a shop that sells Longboarding Wheels (prefferably Sector 9) that are 70mm or above, stick them on this thing and it will be a much smoother, faster, and grippier ride.

I suggest no one under 12 ride this down any big hills. I seriously think they would kill themselves unless supervised by someone who could stop them.

Great Fun
My son got this for his 8th birthday and is having a blast! It is very easy to put together (took me less than 10 minutes). It is like a combination of skateboard, scooter, mountain board, etc. He has been on it every day since he got it. Its also good exercise and can really pick up speed. Definitely a good buy.

It's so much fun!
OMG! This thing is so much fun! I'm (censored) years old and I was looking for something more substantial than my kids' old Razor that I'd been using. I found this and I thought I'd give it a try. My other choice was a xootr but that thing is over $200 and looks like it's more of a fast commuter scooter.

The biggest difference between the Fuzion and a regular scooter is the ability of the Fuzion to carve. The footplate tilts and the rear wheels turn at the same time effectively giving you 4 wheel steering and the ability to bank your body. In practical terms it means you can steer by throwing your body around by moving your center of gravity just like on a skateboard or skiing. It is this which makes the Fuzion much more fun than a regular scooter. Depending on your ability it'll just take you just a few sessions to master this and it's so much fun you'll get addicted to it.

After about 20 minutes on it I was twisting, turning, carving like a kid, and me with degenerative arthritis in my joints, a disc herniation in my back and runner's knees. This thing was so much fun that I tired my kids out before they tired me out.

It's really easy to put together, just a few minutes and they even include a couple of cheap wrenches in the box.

I highly recommend this to anyone over about 100lbs. Any kid lighter than that I recommend the Electron since I think they wouldn't be able to throw their body about enough to make the twists and turns that I could, since this scooter is kind of heavy and you need a bit of heft to do it. But if you're an adult you'll be able to take the handling to the limit. And I think I will get those longboard 70mm wheels that others here have recommended.

I haven't had this much fun for ages, it's even better than you know what. Two thumbs (with arthritis) up!
