Fuzion Z300 Review

Singling out a specific scooter above all others isn’t an easy task. Scooters come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and they fill a lot of different niches.

But if we had to single out one scooter (and we do), we’d try to find a durable, reasonably priced model that combines great build quality with high-end performance.

We tried – and we succeeded. But don’t give us the credit – Fuzion have truly outdone themselves with the Z300. A sleek, stylish, and well-made stunt scooter, it is a fantastic all-rounder that’s suitable for a variety of ages.

If you’re looking for a scooter for younger children or working with a tight budget, then you should take a look at our other picks. But if you’re simply after the best of the best, price tag be damned, then this is a scooter that you should pay attention to.

Build Quality, Materials, Design

The Fuzion Z300 is primarily geared toward beginners and intermediate riders – but make no mistake, it’s designed and built to meet the criteria of even the most demanding professional.

Measuring in at 26.77 x 30.71 x 4.25 inches, the scooter weighs only 7.9 lbs. This is due to the fact that Fuzion have gone to great lengths to incorporate high-quality materials into the scooter’s construction.

The deck and neck of the scooter are made from light yet durable TG-6061 aluminum, while the one-piece fork is constructed from lightweight stamped steel. The T-bar is made from high-strength Chromoly steel.

The 19.5 x 4.5-inch dog bone deck has a 3-degree concave top that makes it easier to keep your feet in the proper position. It’s a tough, durable deck – the dog bone design distributes weight evenly and gives the scooter a maximum weight capacity of 220 lbs.

The Z300 arrives 99% assembled – you’ll just have to tighten two bolts when you insert the T-bar into the deck.

The 5-spoke 110mm wheels feature aluminum alloy cores and polyurethane outers, as well as high-quality ABEC 9 bearings. ABEC bearings rated 9 are the most efficient, and allow for the highest speeds, while the aluminum alloy cores and polyurethane outers guarantee low weight and great traction, respectively.

The scooter also features sealed headset bearings, a triple headset clamp, as well as a HIC (hidden internal compression) system that pulls the fork into the shim, guaranteeing reliability and smooth, consistent handling.

Ergonomic, Versatile, and High-Performance

It’s obvious that the Z300 is a scooter that was built to last – but does that durability come at the price of performance and comfort?

No – not even close. The scooter will last for years, yes – but it will also perform incredibly well for years.

The well-made aluminum alloy deck is wide enough to provide stability, safety, and comfort, and it plays a large role in the overall ergonomics of the scooter. The Z300 features a user-friendly 83-degree headtube angle, with a CNC machined HEX headtube cutout.

The Chromoly Drift riser bar is 23 inches wide, allowing for a great degree of control. The bars feature a pair of large 155mm Hex grips with nylon bar ends. They provide a great amount of grip but are still soft to the touch, providing a maximum amount of comfort.

Weighing just 7.9 lbs, the Z300 is a fast scooter. The 110mm wheels are light despite being relatively large, and the 88PU outers provide a fantastic amount of traction, while the ABEC 9 bearings guarantee a lot of speed. So, with all of that speed and acceleration, is the Z300 safe?

The HIC compression makes turning a breeze, and the scooter’s handling is reliable and confidence-inspiring.

This is further enhanced by the scooter’s high-quality brake – which is smooth, responsive, and powerful. The brakes are also manufactured by Fuzion – the nylon and steel Triad is easy to adjust and almost completely noiseless.

The Z300 offers a great deal of performance and versatility, without sacrificing durability and comfort. It’s a great scooter – one that any kid would be lucky to have.

Razor A2 Review

Scooters are great fun – but if you’re working with a small budget, most models are just too expensive – no matter how much of a great value purchase they might be.

But with a little time and research, it’s possible to find a low-cost yet high-quality scooter that will last for years, but without delivering sub-par performance.

Razor’s kick scooters are well-designed, user-friendly, and use a lot of high-quality materials. To be perfectly frank, looking at the price tag, we don’t know how they manage to pull it off – but they do.

The Razor A2 is a fun, convenient scooter that shines in terms of durability, adjustability, and convenience. It’s geared toward children ages 5 and up, and is undoubtedly the best kick scooter in its price range – but don’t just take our word for it – we’ll back up that claim down below.

Sturdy, Well-Made, and Durable

The Razor A2 features a 26 x 13 x 34-inch frame. Fully assembled, the scooter weighs just a tiny 6 pounds – but it has a weight capacity of 143 pounds.

The T-tube and deck of the scooter are made from high-quality, aircraft-grade aluminum. Investing in such high-end materials for the frame was a smart move on the part of Razor – the scooter is both sturdy and light, and it can weather years of abuse – without bending, breaking, or scratching.

The deck of the scooter is 12 inches long and 3.5 inches wide and features about 3 inches of clearance. It’s large enough to provide a decent amount of stability, even at high speeds. The deck has enough space to accommodate one foot – thankfully, this scooter also features a wheelie bar that provides a convenient location for the other.

The Razor A2’s handlebars are 11.5 inches wide and feature a pair of comfortable, soft foam grips. This is a perfect width for kids around the age of 5 – but you could easily conclude that it would be an issue later on, as your child grows.

However, Razor was one step ahead of the curve on this one – the handlebars’ humble width is counteracted by the fact that the handlebar height is easily adjustable – from 23” at the low end to 32” at the high end. That’s a lot of adaptability- and it meshes well with the headtube angle of the A2. Affordable, light, tough, and compact, the Razor A2 is a fantastic value purchase.

Great Performance

The Razor A2 features a patented folding mechanism, making it easy to store and carry around. Once folded, it will only take up 5 x 6 x 20 inches, making the T-tube and deck folding mechanism a truly standout feature.

The scooter makes use of durable 98 mm inline-style urethane wheels. The 4-inch wide wheels offer a great amount of grip and traction, and they are quite resistant to the elements.

The wheels are slightly on the smaller size – but the ABEC 5 bearings provide a more than decent enough amount of speed, without sacrificing stability or durability. The A2 is a smooth-riding scooter – and is best suited to gliding over pavement and other flat surfaces.

To make up for the slightly small wheels, the scooter features a spring-less shock-absorbing system at the front wheel. This type of front suspension does a great job of dealing with the small bumps and obstacles that can occasionally be found on pavements.

The combination of the suspension and urethane wheels makes for smooth riding – and the great ergonomics of the scooter also contribute a great deal to overall handling.

The Razor A2 uses a patented rear fender brake – it might take a while to get used to, but it offers a lot of smooth, consistent stopping power. Once you get used to it, it’s a very intuitive and user-friendly system – one which makes it easy to adjust your speed or come to a full stop.

For such a humble asking price, the A2 offers incredible performance. Convenient, versatile, and comfortable, it can go toe to toe with many much more expensive models.

Lascoota 2-in-1 Kick Scooter Review

Scooters provide a very fun way to give your child an enjoyable outdoor activity that can easily grow into a lifelong hobby.

And getting your child acquainted with traffic at an early age – even if it’s just getting from point A to point B safely, and avoiding pedestrians without falling over, is very important.

But when it comes to very young children, there are numerous concerns. You want a scooter that is well-built and durable – one which won’t break or malfunction – and one which has a lot of safety features to keep your child safe.

Lascoota’s 2-in-1 is a fun, comfortable, safe, and highly adjustable kick scooter that fits the bill perfectly – we could think of no finer entry point to the world of scooters.

Durable Construction, Child-Friendly Design

Lascoota’s 2-in-1 kick scooter is marketed for kids aged 2-14 – but the overall design, as well as the safety features, make it a perfect choice for kids aged 3-5. We’re not denying that older kids could ride this scooter – but by that point, they’re more likely to want something a tad more serious.

However, this isn’t some flimsy plastic kiddie scooter – it’s made from a durable aluminum alloy, and features rugged stainless-steel components.

The 23.8 x 12 x 6.2-inch frame is sturdy, durable, and stable – but weighs just 7.61 pounds. It has a generous maximum weight capacity of 110 lbs – more than enough to accommodate any sudden growth spurts.

The scooter is equipped with an extra-wide, grippy, and slip-resistant deck. It has a small amount of clearance for additional stability and is large enough to comfortably place both feet upon it.

The Lascoota 2-in-1 makes use of three durable and silent polyurethane wheels. With two wheels in the front and one in the back, the Lascoota 2-in-1 is a self-balancing scooter, offering a lot of stability.

The rear wheel is 3.1 inches in size, while the front wheels are 4.7 inches. Making the front wheels larger was a wise decision – as this allows the scooter to handle the occasional bump with ease.

Overall, this is a very well-designed scooter – one that can handle all the abuse that is likely to come its way from children. It utilizes high-quality materials and features a variety of design choices that make it a great choice for younger kids.

Fun, Safe, and Beginner-Friendly

The Lascoota 2-in-1 is a fantastic way to introduce children to scooters in a fun and safe manner. The scooter uses lean-to-steer technology, meaning that it is controlled by leaning instead of turning, giving it a very forgiving learning curve.

This is further improved upon by the addition of an adjustable and removable seat. The seat has two height options – 24.5 cm and 27.5 cm, or roughly 9.64 and 10.82 inches, respectively. The seat is wide and comfortable, and allows kids to go at their own pace – and once they’ve developed some confidence on the road, it can easily be removed.

The addition of a seat meshes well with the fact that the handlebar is also adjustable. The handlebar features a pair of soft, comfortable grips, and has 4 height settings – 25.5, 27.5, 30.75, and 34 inches.

That amount of adaptability is a great boon – your child will be able to use the scooter for a longer time, and the ergonomics and comfort of the scooter benefit greatly from that feature.

On top of that, the Lascoota 2-in-1 makes use of an extremely durable and reliable ABS brake. The wide rear brake is made from stainless steel and is easy to use, rounding out the scooter’s impressive controllability.

Specifications:

• Dimensions → 6.5 x 23.7 x 10.6 inches
• Wheel size → 120 mm / 80 mm
• Weight capacity → 110 lbs
• Weight → 5.5 lbs

Key Features:

• Silicone micro grip footplate

Micro Kickboard Maxi Deluxe Review

Finding a scooter that will be a good fit for children ages 6-12 is not an easy task. That’s quite a wide age range – during which children go through a lot of changes.

When we were looking for a scooter to be our top pick in this category, we quickly realized that we had to focus on the most important areas – build quality, adjustability, and performance.

A scooter for this age range still has to have a lot of stability and safety features – but it also has to provide a higher level of performance, as well as good weight capacity. With all of that in mind, the Micro Kickboard Maxi Deluxe is the obvious choice.

Durable, Robust, and Well-Designed

The Maxi Deluxe features a 6.5 x 23.7 x 10.6-inch frame that uses a variety of high-quality materials that offer a great combination of durability and weight. Fully assembled, the scooter weighs only 5.5 lbs, but it can accommodate riders with a weight of up to 110 lbs.

Micro Kickboard paid a great amount of attention to both the design and the materials of the scooter.

The deck of the scooter is 13 x 5.5 inches in size – more than enough space to comfortably place both feet. The low-to-the-ground fiberglass deck is quite sturdy and shock-absorbing yet retains a lot of flexibility and features a unique silicone micro grip footplate that helps keep your feet in place.

The scooter also comes almost fully assembled – all you have to do is insert the T-bar into the deck. And speaking of the T-bar, the Maxi Deluxe features an upgraded, anodized aluminum T-bar that offers a lot of resistance to wear and tear – and it is also adjustable.

Depending on your child’s height, the handlebar can be set anywhere from 24 to 34 inches above the deck. The handles are comfortable and provide a good amount of grip, making the scooter quite easy to control.

With its rugged construction, high weight capacity, and adjustable handlebar, the Maxi Deluxe covers all the bases that are most important when looking for a scooter for this age group.

Premium Performance

Now let’s move on to the topic of performance. At this age, your children are likely going to want a scooter that is more serious than their previous one – and that might cause you to worry.

And the Maxi Deluxe does not disappoint, performance-wise. It offers a fantastic level of performance – but it still makes use of a lot of safety features to give it a forgiving learning curve.

For starters, this is the manufacturer that came up with the lean-to-steer design. The Maxi Deluxe features a great amount of stability – and it handles like a charm. Using your body weight to steer the scooter is pretty intuitive and doesn’t reduce performance – but it is much safer.

The Maxi Deluxe also has 3 polyurethane wheels, further improving the stability of the scooter. The two front wheels are 120mm in size, while the back wheel is 80mm in size. They offer a great amount of traction, and the high-quality bearings ensure that the wheels roll smoothly and quietly.

The Maxi Deluxe can easily reach high speeds due to its low weight and high-quality wheels – but this is balanced by the heavy-duty rear foot brake.

So, to recap – the Maxi Deluxe is a comfortable, highly-adjustable high-performance scooter that prioritizes safety – and we think it hit the nail on the head, in each respect.

Hikole Kick Scooter Review

If your child is over the age of 12 and has enough experience with riding scooters, then purchasing a scooter designed for kids doesn’t make much sense – and good luck with trying to convince a teenager to ride one of those.

But going in the completely opposite direction and purchasing a scooter meant for adults isn’t the best decision either. There is a whole class of scooters tailored towards children who aren’t really kids anymore – but aren’t still adults either.

Hikole’s kick scooter is a sleek, stylish, high-performance product that has plenty of great features. It’s comfortable and durable, and the best way to introduce a child to serious scooters.

Sleek, Stylish, Cutting-Edge Design

Hikole’s kick scooter has a durable 33.5 x 5.5 x 11.8-inch frame that is made from a high-density aluminum alloy. It’s tough, boasting a maximum weight capacity of 220 lbs – but the entire scooter weighs just 13.5 lbs.

The deck has a fair amount of clearance, about 2.76 inches, and it is fairly large, measuring in at 13 x 5.3 inches. It’s also made from aluminum, giving it a fantastic amount of durability. The large size of the deck goes a long way in ensuring a great amount of comfort and control.

The handlebars of the Hikole kick scooter are roughly 15 inches wide and feature soft rubber hand grips that provide a comfortable, steady grip.

The height of the handlebar can be adjusted – with the lowest height being 35.1 inches, the medium being 37.1 inches, and the highest being 39 inches.

This is quite an impressive amount of adaptability – the scooter can fit riders with heights ranging from 120cm to 185 cm – or roughly from 3’11” to 6’1” tall.

The scooter also features a convenient folding feature, as well as carry strips, making it much easier to transport. It also has a retractable kickstand for when you want to take a break.

Hikole’s kick scooter is a light, durable, well-made scooter that incorporates a variety of smart design choices into a single, high-value package. With a high maximum weight capacity and plenty of adjustability, it’s a fantastic choice for teens.

Top of the Line Performance

The design and adjustability of the Hikole kick scooter might be impressive, but they almost pale in comparison to the performance that the scooter offers.

The scooter makes use of two large, durable 200mm / 8-inch urethane wheels. Their size goes a long way in ensuring high speeds, but they also make use of high-quality ABEC-7 bearings.

The bearings push this scooter well into high-performance territory, not only with regard to speed – but also when it comes to stability and handling. The bearings ensure smooth gliding and are practically noiseless.

The scooter’s impressive ergonomics greatly contribute to stability and handling, but it also features both a front and a rear suspension. Combine large wheels with a dual suspension system, and you’ve got a very versatile scooter on your hands. The Hikole can handle serious bumps with ease, effortlessly absorbing road shock.

The scooter also features a large, reinforced aluminum brake pedal. The rear foot brake is extremely reliable and has a serious amount of stopping power

It’s tough to summarize just how impressive the Hikole’s performance is – it’s very light, and the large wheels are incredibly fast-rolling – but the comfort, control, and handling are no less impressive, courtesy of the powerful brake and suspension system. It’s incredibly convenient, easy to transport, and highly adjustable.

If you’re looking for a versatile, high-performance scooter for a teenager, then give the Hikole a closer look.
