Product Description

Slider The Unscooter is the Best Action & Fitness Product of 2007. A Three-wheel action scooter with removable handle pole and handle bars, and the only one of it's kind with dual handbrakes, three-wheel steering and 'Action Decks' TM technology designed to propel you without your feet touching the ground -- Scissor Action: Pivot both feet all the way out then all the way back in -- Roller Blading Action: Steer and pivot to the left as you shift your weight to your right leg and push out to the right, then steer and pivot to the right while shifting your weight to your left leg and pushing out to the left -- Slalom Action: Same as Roller Blading Action except you shift your weight and both feet to one side then the other - like skiing. Turning: Slow turns are accomplished normally by turning the handlebars in the direction you wish to turn while keeping your feet shoulder width apart. Faster turns will require some practice since the rear wheels will also begin to steer in an arc around the front wheel; use the brakes to slow and begin by turning in the opposite direction (countersteer) to slow the rate at which the back pivots around. Always lean forward and into the direction you wish to go while pushing out with the outside foot. www.unscooter.com

Super Unscooter - Buy One Today!
My wife ordered a Slider from Amazon after seeing one while she was riding her bike. She thought it looked like a fun way to work out. It arrived quickly and was very easy to put together.

It took her a couple trips around the park to get her balance and technique. The instructions and videos on Unscooter.com show three different riding styles, and she is learning all of them. She has been riding it every day for a week now, and she's getting better all the time.

I was a serious cyclist for several years, and I recognize the quality of the components and engineering that went into the Slider. It is well made and I believe it will last many, many years.

I plan to order another U8 model for me and a smaller U5 for our 5 year old. I like it that much and recommend it to anyone who wants a fun and different way to excercise.

I love this and want to play like a kid every day now
I got my 4 and 6 year old boys the 3 wheel razor and tried to demonstrate for them how to use. I of course fell, because it is not made for my 250# adult body... but I knew right away I had something fun. I went online to see what they made for big "kids". I found this scooter and have been on it everyday since I got it. I agree with others that it is well made and easy to assemble. I enjoy this product and already I'm less than 250# from this fun activity. I'm also 45 years old, don't be afraid to let this unscooter take you back to your youth.

I purchased this product for my [...] son's birthday. He did the research and decided this is the one he wanted. When product arrived he and his 14 year old brother took it out of the box and assembled the unit (I did check it to make sure it was done correctly and it was...I just had to tighten a few items). In no time he was mastering the unit which didn't surprise me since it was easier then riding a bike, which he was doing before he was 4. He loves it and uses it now more then the rip board, scooter and bike that are all in the garage.
