Amazon.com Product Description
Combining a kick scooter's handlebar with a skateboard's flexible quad-wheel alignment, the Fuzion Asphalt Ultimate Carving Machine lets you easily carve deep smooth turns, slide or air out. Four custom polyurethane wheels hug the road for exceptional handling--turning circles around those traditional two-wheeled models. It also features a wide concave deck, high tech steel frame design, folding/telescoping handle (rising from 29 to 36 inches off the ground, and articulated rear truck. 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.

 Great Fun June 30, 2006

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! December 2, 2008

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!
I love my scooter!!!! September 1, 2007

I stumbled upon this scooter while shopping for a Razor Kick scooter, and decided to give it try. It took my dad and I about 20 minutes to put together, and then I was up and scooting. Since I had experience riding more traditional scooters, it only took me 5 minutes to get used to it.
My 14-year-old brother hadn't ridden scooters before and it took him a little longer to get the hang of it, but he loves it too.
We have been riding it as much as possible since we got it, and today my dog took me for a ride down the street. So far, I have only fallen off once and I always wear a helmet. In my opinion, this scooter is much more fun than a traditional kick, and is never going to get boring.

My daughter wanted rip stick skate board until she saw her friend wipe out and tear the skin off both of his legs!
I showed her the Fuzion and she was sold! It looks cool, it's fast, safe and most importantly, FUN!!
Don't be fooled by 4 wheels December 5, 2008

OMG!! I purchased this item for my 7 year old son and what a find. This item is quite the scooter. This may be mistaken as a regular scooter with four wheels and a safe item for beginners...NO WAY...I may take this from my son..lol..what a fun durable thrashing item..This item turns, carves and is capable of many tricks. This item can also be used in a half-pipe.
It will take a least a few tries to get the hang of the balance and movement.The board is about the size as a regular skateboard.I put this item together to make sure it was all it said it was..checking before Christmas..I rode it all over to make sure it was appropriate for his age...lol I rode it so much and had tons of fun, as a 35 yr old mom I probably looked just silly...but now I have to clean the wheels off before Christmas and act like nothing happened :)
Parents, this is a great price and is a over the top entertaining item. For children that are beginners to scooters I may shy away from this item until they have established good balance and practice good safety techniques such as wearing helmets.
