Customer Reviews

A junior Fuzion
I liked the Fuzion Asphalt so much that I bought a couple of the Electrons for my kids when it came out. As I mentioned in my Asphalt review I thought the Asphalt was too big and heavy for young kids and this version seems to have taken care of those problems.

Price: Not too bad considering Amazon is selling them for $50 from a list price of $90. You can get a Razor for about $20 cheaper but this has more articulations. I consider them comparable due to the size.

Of course 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 a few sessions to master this and it's so much fun you'll get addicted to it.

The articulations are similar, but not the same as the larger Asphalt. Though they "do" the same things, I consider the Asphalt's articulations better and more sophisticated and the Electron's simpler and cheaper. I wish that they had made the footplate larger because though an adult can stand with both feet together on the Asphalt, a kid can't do the same with the Electron, they have to do the front and back or diagonal stance same as on the Razor. The folding mechanism is stiff and I doubt a 8-9 year old kid can do it him/herself.

The Electron's wheels are smaller than the Asphalt's and therefore bears less weight but it'd be simple enough to buy a set of larger wheels. Still, I like the 4 wheels because 4 wheels means the weight is more evenly distributed and the ride is smoother compared to a Razor.

Assembly definitely needs an adult. The wheels are easy enough to put on but they designed the handle bar so that it needs to be clamped on with 4 screws and it takes someone with a bit of minimum knowledge that the 4 screws must be tightened evenly.

My verdict is that I wished they had just made a smaller and lighter Asphalt. Why re-invent the wheel? The 360 degree handlebar doesn't do anything functionally and the rear articulation is not as smooth and doesn't go as far. Changing the wheels to a larger or smoother one will probably make a lot of difference.

If your kid doesn't have a scooter, I'd recommend this one over the Razor, but not for Amazon's listed MSRP of $90 though. $40-50 would seem about right. I'd say this one would be OK for any kid anywhere from 7-12 or so. Any older and I'd recommend the bigger Asphalt or any of the other Fuzions. Yes, I'm a fan of these scooters.

My kid's favorite gift
I got this scooter for my son who has been riding a razor since he was two. He rides around the neighborhood and the skate park, and completely loves it. Best gift he's ever gotten.

Fuzion has a different take on scooters, with a tilting board that lets you carve. You don't just steer right left, you can actually lean the steering column to the side and tilt the deck (the place where you stand) to make it go where you want. It's great as a kid's only scooter or as a compliment to a Razor and skateboard.

The electron is the smallest and lightest of the fuzion scooters, which is perfect for tricks or if the rider is a bit younger. I ride it myself, and it takes my weight, but even my 5-year-old can easily handle it.

The manufacturing on this scooter is amazing. As other scooters have gotten a bit 'cheap' feeling, this is made of solid aluminum and very heavy plastics. The trucks are tough and can definitely take a beating.

The thing that really sold me was the YouTube videos that are everywhere. Search YouTube for Fuzion Electron and you'll see kids doing amazing stunts or just carving down a street like they're on a ski slope.

This scooter is lots of fun (for this dad and also the kids), and I imagine it's durable enough to last through the rest of the boys as they grow up.

Five stars!

Best Fuzion scooter EVER
I have many fuzion scooters. I have the nx, carbon pro, ashpalt, coblat. I just got the new fuzion electron and it is so cool. Its great for getting huge air in the park, or grinding a pool. Its i also great for transportation and tricks. Its have 360 degree rotation for barspins and tailwhips. I love this scooter and couldn't live with out it.

Its The BEST SCOOTER EVER:10/5
