Greater than one weekWe purchased this scooter at the end of August and it is already broken. Its like the bearings have broken inside the shaft near the bottom because it is wobbly and grease is getting everywhere. It is super cute and we love it but wish it could be replaced or returned. I guess we have surpassed the time to do that. :(

> 3 dayThis is an awesome scooter! Very easy to set up, very sturdy, and made my son really happy! It shipped out very quickly, and was very securely packaged. Once the snow melts, he is excited to take it out and try out some tricks!

Greater than one weekMy 6 year old used his Christmas gift card to buy this scooter and it has not disappointed. Easy to assemble, rides smoothly and turns easily. He’s very tall for his age and this will last a couple of years at least. Far better than the big box store scooters. This is a great scooter for your active kiddo!

Greater than one weekWaiting for a response from Nextsport regarding this X5 Pro scooter that I purchased. In all fairness to this seller, I will update my full evaluation when I conclude with Nextsport regarding this Scooter. ...it has major Headset defect Issues with both of the X5s I received. UPDATE: The design of this scooter appears well. The wheels are above average. The Bearings are ABEC 9 which is above average as well. The bar is strong and the 3 bolt clamp is average in quality for this pricepoint. One hand grip wore out very fast. One grip disintegrated down to the bar within two weeks while the other grip did not which is strange. But that is not a deal breaker at this price point. Grips are a fast wearing item. And are cheap to get, even better quality ones. But in execution it fails at the headset. It will always loosen. It doesnt stay Dialed. The headset bearings and cups inserted within the decks headtube are loose fitting. They should be press-fitted. This causes constant loosening after little use. My 9yo son weighs 82 lbs. He is an intermediate user. He has scooted since he was 5. And he needs me to tighten the headset every 15 minutes or so at the local skate park. He doesnt grind or anything like that. I have learned to bring my hex wrenches or the day is a bust. Nextsport has excellent Customer service. They sent me a second X5, and told me to keep the first one. For spare parts, I thought that was nice. I received the second one very fast, from Cali to NYC. Unfortunately I encountered the exact same issues. Just poor quality at the headset and deck tube. Same problem. A mass production run of this is apparent. I disassembled the headset and measured with my caliper as with the first X5. The parts are just dimensionally wrong fitting. I am very familiar with scooters and skateboards having wrenched on them for years. Today I spoke with Nextport and explained that unfortunately I cannot return this through AMZ because the window for that closed. I explained that another third replacement would be fruitless. They said that a refund would be appropriate and that is their policy to maintain cust. satisfaction even after the return window has closed.. They said to keep the Two X5s and that my refund would be processed within 3 days. That said, I would rank Nextsport as an honest company and that they exceeded their responsibilty as a seller here on Amazon. My son cant ride this X5 any longer as I feel it is not suitable for him or most riders unless you carry a hex wrench to fix it every 15 minutes, and it will take 10 minutes to disassemble and retighten the headset. You have to remove and re-center the bar every time as well. When it loosens, the steering gets real sloppy and all related headset components wear excessively. Even casual street riding exhibits the above noted issues. But in the end, Nextsport provided quality support and stated they will refund me the purchase price. I can move on and buy a different brand scooter for my son. If this is your first time purchase of a scooter, the X5 scooter may seem like the wheels are getting loose after some initial use, but in actuality it is the headset. This will require some knowledge of scooters that is not discussed well in the X5 manual. The headset is the most important and most sensitive component in any scooter. Do a drop test of the scooter from about 6 inches high. The noise heard, should sound like a solid thud with no vibration and that is considered dialed. If it sounds like a bag of coins falling, it is not dialed. And should be fixed, not used. If you buy this X5, you can be sure that the Customer Service is dependable at least. I just feel this model X5 is not a good example of Fusions Scooter Brand. Im sure hundreds if not several thousands of these X5s have been produced this way. Im sure Fusions Sponsored Pro riders would not attempt using this X5. Perhaps if they did, the headset issue would have been solved/ corrected during 2018 X5 production. FYI, I noticed a a paid review on this page showing her daughter on a Fusion scooter giving high praise. She states that she was provided the scooter for review at a discounted price, and i say, probably for free. As this is common place for sellers to do here on AMZ. Free product in exchange for a well detailed POSITIVE review. Unfortunately, she is NOT reviewing the same X5 scooter being sold here. The scooter says PRO X5 on its labling. It is completely different than the Described X5 shown here. The review appears impressive, but be careful. She is a professional Amazon reviewer. LOL. See the Video for yourself. You decide... I gave 3 Stars. Enjoy Scooting :-)

> 3 dayPerfect scooter for our 8 year old. Sturdy, well constructed. It will last for years to come and is advanced enough for him to still enjoy it as he gets older. Smooth ride, easy turns and braking. He’s struggled with Razor brand scooters but picked this one up in no time.

> 3 dayThe boy couldnt wait for me to get home. Instead of whining about it he put it together himself. Then he had to telling everybody how smooth the ride was and how much better it was than his razor scooter.

> 3 dayThis is absolutely worth it over a razor. I have had many razor scooters and they break in just a few months and they feel and sound terrible. When you go off a jump with a razor it sounds like a metallic crash when you land. They also bend overtime. Not this scooter, it rides buttery smooth and when you land it sounds like a thud not a crash. extremely durable The wheels last 10x longer as well.
