(More customer reviews)Head to the manufacturer's website first thing: www.unscooter.com and you'll find out much more than what's posted on Amazon. For instance, the U6 is for ages 13 and up, up to 250 lbs. It's the most maneuverable of the adult models, while the U8 provides a bit more stable and a (slightly) speedier ride.
I really couldn't figure out how to ride this thing at first. It took me a few times around the block, trying a variety of foot positions to get going. Besides just getting out there and trying it, one of the best ways to learn the different riding styles is to watch the videos on the manufacturer's website. Believe me, there is no wrong way to ride this thing, and that's definitely part of its appeal.
The other thing that took me a while to figure out: this is not really a speed machine. Trikke's scooters will give you a faster ride, but you have fewer movement options and you need a wider riding space with a Trikke--I don't think you'd be welcome on many sidewalks with the Trikke.
I went for an Unscooter instead of a Trikke because of the maneuverability differences. I think it's harder to learn to ride an Unscooter, but, baby, will you ever get a work out--from your core to your ankles. And once you understand how to make the thing glide and turn and swivel, you'll be hooked. I'm 43, and after a few falls, too chicken to in-line skate. This is a fun, safe, and more stabile solution for me.
Last thing, find the smoothest riding surface possible. Asphalt is do-able, but by no means preferred. It only slows you down.

Slider The Unscooter is the new, unique way to scoot along sidewalks and streets. It's designed to propel you without your feet touching the ground via its three wheels thanks to its patented scissor-style Action Decks. It features dual handle brakes for optimal safety, pivoting 6-inch wheels for three-wheel steering for maximum maneuverability, and sturdy steel construction.

To get going, push both feet out on the Action Decks as far as you can and then pull them all the way in--the scissoring motion will start to propel you forward. You can also push each foot independently for rollerblading-style action, orplant both feet firmly on the Action Decks and shift your body in a skying motion--excellent for cross-training.
