	Hi Hal, I've ridden a Xootr (the one with the wood deck) and a Fuzion CityGlide (very similar to a Razor A5). They are great on relatively smooth surfaces, but...

	Hal, This is not a plug for Xootr or A5, but just remember that pneumatic tires tend to go FLAT............. whereas Xootr and A5 tires will NEVER go flat ...

	Just curious Hal, what made you an X-A5 rider and why the Xootr Roma? (sorry if you've said this before) thanks! Lisa A5 rider ... ~~~~~~~~ Lisa Stein ...

	Woops sorry, I meant Mikey! Just curious Mikey, what made you an X-A5 rider and why the Xootr Roma? (sorry if you've said this before) thanks! Lisa A5 rider ...

	Lisa, There are a myriad of reasons why I chose the Roma over the A5, but this list is based on MY own preferences and observations. Also, I am only...
1849		lafugitt	May 5, 2012 3:36 am
	Mikey, Excellent and very thorough list. My list was very similar, but not as complete. Weighing over 250 pounds & 6'7" narrowed my practical choices to the...

	Thanks so much Mikey! I was just wondering. Don't need to debate, but like to know why those that have been on kick scooters for a while choose one over the...

	I have a Roma and like it for two reasons. One, the narrow deck leads to greater kicking efficiency. When I ride an MG or Street, it feels like a Mack truck. ...
1852		q_john_r	May 7, 2012 4:14 pm
	... I have the xootr roma and size 12 feet, normal width. No problems with the deck size. I got it for the narrow width vs the other xootrs. It started...

	Only have ridden esla 4100(pneumatic tires), 6" razor, and 'ultra cruz' zootr. My wife likes the esla for its smooth ride but she does not take transit. Now...
1854		Vain80	May 10, 2012 1:36 am
	I own a xootr street and a kickped. The Xootr hands down for going from scooting to transit like a train or bus. Also carrying it in the xootr bag makes it...

	Hi all, Greetings from warm and humid Singapore! I am looking into getting a kickscooter for those long distances between public transports. Was looking at...
1859		Maycam carolynhoberman	May 16, 2012 2:52 pm
	I've ridden all of these. I would NOT advise the razr for someone your height. It is cheaper but not as durable. The roma is lighter weight for carrying....
1860		roybassist	May 16, 2012 3:44 pm
	... I've never ridden a Xootr, so I can't compare them, but I have two A5s. I bought the first one in 2008, and between them I probably have a total of about...

	Hey Everyone! Well, in the end I decided to go with a Xootr Ultra Cruz and I would like to share my first impressions. When UPS came with my new Xootr, I was...
1862		lafugitt	May 17, 2012 4:12 am
	... This seems to be a common problem for new scooter users because they tend to grasp the handlebars very tight which transmits all the vibration directly to...

	I have replaced bearings just the other week. My old bearings were a couple of years old and, while still usable, were dirty and felt somewhat gritty. I opted...
1865		hplangford	May 18, 2012 3:29 pm
	I agree that your hands will feel better as you gain confidence and develop a more loose and relaxed grip. I don't use gloves for my Xootr but I do for biking...
1866		Lisa Stein ljswahine	May 18, 2012 3:40 pm
	Like the George Jetson analogy, sort of like gliding in...and easier to stop places and go than a bike. I switch legs, but still not very good at switching...
1867		Michael Y. Knackerson maknak	May 18, 2012 5:03 pm
	Here's my 2 cents on this topic (following each quote)... ... I switch whenever I feel like it; if one leg gets tired or if I'm leaning one way or the...

	Did anyone try installing the wheels from Micro flex air on the Razor A5 Lux?...
1869		rolbud	May 21, 2012 6:17 am
	I just wanted to let the group know that my four year old Xootr MG cracked during a leisurely ride in the park. While gliding with both feet on the deck, it...

	Could you post a few photos of the bottom of the deck?...
1871		rolbud	May 23, 2012 6:30 pm
	I will try to post a picture of the bottom of the deck. If you look at the pictures of the cross-section of the crack, you can see discoloration of one of the...
1872		Joe Saunders joe_saunders	May 23, 2012 6:49 pm
	Hmmm... If the Xooter was heavily used, 4 years is alot of use. I sympathize, the deck should not cracked, but I get why Xootr did the half price thing. -- ...
