Slider The Unscooter - U8 - Three Wheel Action Scooter - Blue
- High quality tubular steel construction. The stability of three 8" Polyurethane wheels and the safety of dual handbrakes. Ages 10 to adult (275 lb. weight limit).
- Ideal for the taller teens and adults to 6' 5". 8" wheels provide the smoothest ride, while the longer decks and stronger action coils make this one ideal for touring, cross-training, aerobic & cardio.
- Our fastest model, and although slightly less maneuverable than the U6, it is just as rider friendly - A must however for the taller and larger riders.

Summary: Fun, but some Major issues with the Unslider 2008-06-02
Comment: My husband and I bought the U8 and U6 (respectively) scooters. We rec'd them from Amazon quickly. Hubby's had a bent front fork unfortunately, but Amazon rectified the situation quickly by sending out a new scooter and picking up the defective one.
The scooters were easy to put together...about 15 minutes each.
That being said, I cannot recommend the Slider. One of the biggest reasons? You CAN'T GO UPHILL! Absolutely impossible to do that...this scooter is great downhill (the brakes are quite helpful) and ok on level surfaces but fuggit about going uphill on this thing. And since both of your legs are on the scooter, you can't push your way uphill like you would be able to on a regular scooter. So you're left getting off the scooter and Walking the thing up, which pretty much defeats the whole purpose of riding said scooter.
On level surfaces? Really, you can't get much speed going unless you're really moving those legs. I was never able to do the "slalom move" and the "rollerskate" move was not very easy or fun to execute. We mainly used the "inner thigh" move to work the scoots and frankly, I felt pretty silly flapping my legs around like that. Even w/the inner thigh move, you can't get a lot of speed going.
I highly recommend getting a regular (single legged) scooter over the Unscooter...at least that way you can get some speed up and scoot your way uphill!
