I have never purchased a three wheel scooter before, however on my quest to find the perfect one I found the ever popular Slider The Unscooter. I was told by a friend that she had bought one of this for her thirteen year old but this was good for adults as well as children. I took the plunge and went for this one, I bought it for $100 from a local cycle shop, I was told this was a bargain at the time as it does sell for higher.
The Unscooter has some great little quirks about it and it makes getting around town a breeze, especially during rush hour. It has a very effective, easy to use handbrake and you can ride it with the same rhythm as you would with roller blades, almost like a slalom.
If you are a show off like me then you would feel right at home on this wonderful piece of equipment. If you have never bought a scooter before then it is a good idea to familiarize yourself with the features, this one has some good features.
Slider the Unscooter U8 Three Wheel Action Scooter

- Excellent high quality construction – When it comes to three wheel scooters they must be built well as safety is a very important element
- Suitable for tall people as well as short – Some scooters are made without bearing tall people in mind, this one is suitable for anyone up to 6ft.5
- Smooth riding wheels – A smooth ride is vital when it comes to scooters, so these 8 inch smooth riding wheels are great
- Ideal for long distances – It is sturdy enough to withstand long distances which is great for people who like to explore
- Effective handbrake – Many scooters previously did not have a handbrake. This one has a very effective handbrake, thus increasing safety levels.
- Lightweight – It is lightweight and very easy to store, making it good for people who don’t really have much space.

There we have it, just some of the features of this great three wheel scooter. I tested it out a couple of days after I got it, and I was so happy with the way it moves and its overall smoothness. I am not very good when it comes to coordination but when I got used to this I loved it.
I have found that it really does help with balance and coordination as well giving you a workout. I was sweating after riding it around the park for an hour. I don’t have many bad things to say about this scooter, apart from the fact that I had to put it together myself. I know most scooters have to be put together at home but I am not very good with that kind of thing so that is a downside for me.
I think this would be a great gift for a teenager, it is supposed to be good for 8 year olds and upwards but I think a teenager around the age of 13 would love something like this. Especially the fact that it is something that you can really show off with, well once you get the hang of it. This will keep a young teen fit and they could even use it to go to school or to take a trip to the store. This will get your young ones out of the house and out of mischief.
You can even get one for yourself and use it alongside your children on days out to the park. If you find roller blading a little bit too challenging then this would be a good buy, as you get the same level of exercise from it but it is slightly easier to balance yourself on this.
When it comes to positives I would say that this three wheel scooter is just so easy to use once you get the hang of it, it keeps you fit while you are having fun, it also so lightweight therefore easy to transport.
When it comes to negatives I don’t really have anything negative to say apart from the fact that I had to fix it together and I don’t enjoy doing things like that. If you don’t mind fixing things together then this wouldn’t be a negative for you.
You can get the Slider for around $100 to $150 either on or offline. Although I purchased mine from a store I would recommend taking a look at Amazon or even eBay you might find yourself a bargain.
