| Customer Reviews: Average Rating:  Rating : - Fuzion Electron- Best Fuzion Out Alright, first, a little background info on myself. I am on Nextsport's Team Fuzion Flow, and was on the Bronze team for 4 months. I've been riding razor scooters for 2.5 years now, and fuzions for about 1. i know a thing or two about scooters.
The Electron is first and for the most part a freestyle (trick) scooter. You should know that right away, if you want a cruiser/carver scooter than you should consider the Asphalt or Carbon.
From a freestyle standpoint, the Electron is the best Fuzion Nextsport has released. Specifically, its light weight (9.4 pounds i believe) allows for many more tricks/combos to be done than on the NX, Nextsport's first freestyle-specific scoooter. While the NX is more suitable for bigger people (18 inch wide bars, wider deck, stronger wheels, etc), the Electron is perfect for smaller freestyle riders.
Although it has a weight limit of 135 pounds, even if you are smaller than this be prepared for some play in the folding mechanism. Repeated impacts will start to wear down on the foldy mech, which as far as I know cannot be "locked" (some riders lock folding mechs on Razors to prevent them from wearing down, and shaking).
The wheels are, I won't lie, pretty bad. After just a few days with my new Electron the back wheel dehubbed. One sketch doublewhip and its toast. So this has prevented me from doing a lot of whips. You can put skateboard wheels on it, however. They are also fairly slow.
I do think that this is a great Fuzion scooter for the kid who loves to do tricks on anything with wheels though. Chances are that he will ride the Electron for a very long time. The fact that it has four wheels gives kids more options for flatland style tricks than on two wheelers. And if Billy starts getting pretty good, you can send a video of him to Nextsport for a chance to get sponsored!
Bottom line, if you want to do some pretty sick stuff on a Fuzion, this is the scooter for you. If you want an alternative to Razors for your small child, the Electron will suit your needs perfectly. If you want to zip along the streets, carving around and just bombing hills, I would suggest a different Fuzion.
