 Love this scooter! November 8, 2008

I have been riding the U6 for several months now and have really enjoyed it. I like it so much (and so do my sons) I had to buy the U8 so they would leave my PINK U6 alone!! We live in Florida and have no hills, so I can ride this anywhere. This is the only exercise routine I have been able to stick with and many want to know where I got my funky scooter. I have toned up and lost a couple pants sizes with my increased activity riding this scooter. Now with a 2nd one, I can drag my girlfriends out with me for some daily exercise. For those who hate to exercise, I highly recommend this scooter! The U8 is a little harder to manuver than the U6, but I love them both.
 Fun, but some Major issues with the Unslider June 2, 2008

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!
