I'm new to scootering, so I didn't want to spend tons of money on a scooter. I was looking at two scooters but couldn't decide which one to get. Im going to give links to both scooters and list any modifications I would make. Please reply on which one you think would be best.


Scooter #1 - Fuzion Z250

LINK : http://fuzionproscooter.com/products/fuzion-z250-pro-scooter/

Modifications : Possibly new bars, ODI Longneck's.

Why I like it : Flex brake - no rattle, 110 mm wheels, ICS compression, Lightweight, GREAT price ($130), Wont spend so much money - in case scootering isn't my thing.

Why I dont like it: UGLY bars, Never heard of "fuzion" before..



Scooter #2 - Lucky/Razor Custom Street

LINK : http://www.luckyscoot.com/Razor-Pro-Scooter-Ultra-Pro-Street-p/107050-1100.htm

Modifications : None

Scooter parts :
Razor Ultra Pro w/
Lucky Bar Wrap
ODI Grips
Lucky Double Clamp
Lucky Brake
Lucky 100mm Metal Core Wheels
Enduro Bearings
MOB Grip Tape

Why I like it : Looks awesome, Lightweight, Great custom parts.

Why I don't like it : A bit pricey - don't want to spend tons in case scootering isn't my thing, but worth it. Razor forks bend easy, deck might snap, bars may snap (after a while)


I was also thinking of a Grit Elite, which is pretty much the same as the Custom Street, but has ICS, but has horrible bearings, grip tape, and wheels (I heard) Also, Im not a fan of the color combo's..



So, which do you think would be better for a beginner?

Avoid Fuzion. It just has a cheap/flimsy feel to it.

But you might want to consider a Blunt Complete.. Even if you don't like scootering, it would be pretty easy to sell. Dialed and smooth.

The only thing about spending $300 on a scooter is that I have to save up the money. I would like to get a scooter before the end of summer, and I'm only at about $40. Im planning on selling some old electronics which could get me to like $150...

My IHC never came loose in the two months that I had it lol. The fuzion deck itself sucks. Either way, it's all preference. I was just giving him another option.

grit and fusion you should never ever touch. don't get a scooter with ICS because you will be forever tightening it and you won't be able to ride.

get the lucky

i think you should definitely think into buying one of scooterzone's ultra pro completes. very good value for the price, i reccomend the black rattler.
actually, just checked but turns out they don't have the black rattler at the moment. but here are some options
