Comparable to the Razor A5 Lux, though not quite...
I compared the Fuzion Cityglide to the Razor A5 Lux on my kickscoot blog and summarize it by writing that the Fuzion Cityglide's design is superior to the A5's in a number of respects (folding mechanism is more secure; its steering column is a larger diameter; its handlebars are wider; its T-bar/stem allows for easier handlebar swap if a wider one is desired; etc), though the workmanship is not. I generally trust solid workmanship over good design, so I imagine I'll be riding the Razor more often, but am certain that the Cityglide is well worth the price and a MUCH better deal than the crazy expensive adult kick scooters (ala Micro, Xootr, Oxelo, etc). The main considerations (in comparison to the Razor A5), since cost and warranty is comparable... Scooter weight = 10 pounds even (a pound and a half over the A5, but still quite light and easy to propel) Max rider weight = 165 pounds (compared to the Razor's 220-lb limit) Wheelbase length = 26-3/4 inches (3/4" longer than the A5, but could be longer yet) Deck length = just under 13 inches (identical to the A5) Deck height above ground = 2.5 inches, but with a slight slope (similar to the A5) Ground clearance (from bottom of deck/frame to ground) = 1.5 inches (same as the A5) Deck width = 4.5 inches (same as the A5) Head-tube diameter = industry standard 1-1/8 inches (same as the A5) Head-tube length = 3.5 inches (slightly longer than the A5) Handlebar height (from deck) = 34.5 inches (roughly an inch lower than the A5) Handlebar height (from ground) = 37 inches (again, roughly an inch lower than the A5) Handlebar width = 14 inches (an inch wider than the A5, and MUCH more securely fastened) All told, I give it 4-stars compared to the A5's 5-star review. The Fuzion's weight could drop some; the clamp threads could be re-tapped and less prone to stripping; the appearance/finish could be cleaned up and improved; the aluminum part of the deck (where the folding mechanism is tightened down upon) could be thicker...and should be; the handlebars should extend a bit higher (and wider!); and the wheels should be truer/less wobbly.
