How does it compare to the (metal?) A5 Lux in terms of smoothness over bumpy asphalt and safeness across small bumps?

My kids didn't have the A5 before this one, but these wheels do really well on bumps and the wooden board "gives" a little and seems to absorb some shock.

I don't know compared to that particular model but my daughter used to have a metal scooter and this one is far smoother than the metal one. It really is a fantastic scooter.

My now 10y/o daughter has had no issues with it. She states it rides smooth on side walk (including uneven areas in our neighborhood) and asphalt road. She never rides it hard, i.e. racing. From my observations no safety issues with it.

I fell once over the small bump. I don't think it's very safe on uneven surfaces. But this just can be me. Not paying attention. I never had metal so I can't compare.

I've ridden it around the block and also over rough asphalt, and it is generally ok. I would say it's about the same capability as a skateboard or inline skates. If it's a bump that you wouldn't want to ride over with your skateboard or inline skates, it won't be easy with the Sbyke either. There's a possibility of changing the rear wheels to larger wheels to go over bumps better, but no one at Sbyke has answered my question about what's the largest wheel size it can accommodate, and whether a larger wheel will affect handling.Another potential issue when riding over sidewalks is if you cross sloping driveways, it takes some finesse to keep it under control and not let it steer downward the sloping driveway.

Both. The grass/mud etc is great to play in, given you have the right tires you can do quite a bit. The street is great with a nice pair of street tires and will grip so tight you'll flip before you slide. Takes a little practice but I can beat almost any car on my street, and with headlights/taillights (so I can tell direction at night from a distance) and 2 lipo batteries, this thing will zoom along at 70+mph. Hours of fun, but I've now spent almost 1600 on my car ... and it's almost all aluminum so the original parts left over can almost build a 2nd plastic. Lol

The bumpy road is no problem. The mirror attaches with extended tabs over top and bottom of the orignial rearview mirror. Use the long screws (included) to anchor top and bottom tabs on the back side of the original mirror. There's no slippage. About whether it fits your car - my Surburan needed a little adjustment since it has OnStar buttons at the bottom making the mirror border larger than usual. I don't subscribe to OnStar, so I didn't care if the buttons were covered. The mirror works well in a mid- to large- vehicle.

Does fine. It's wheels are relative small so if the street is bumpy, you'll feel the bumps.

The super lug has very good traction and performs well for my usage. Price increase over 2 ply is minimal. sidewall cracking was the reason I needed new tires. I think these tires may be too aggressive for fine turf usage but are far superior in traction for wet or muddy grass

You won't feel anything really. There's a difference in mpgs through custom tune and the speedometer calibration. Throttle response is slightly better.

Mine is a very low mileage model. But I can say it is a pleasure to use after having some low cost sanders in the past. I think, even with extended usage, the vibration level is low enough to not cause any stress from using it.

No problems with my one. It has been going strong since the day I bought it and I use it nearly everyday on cars and trucks commercially. Buy with confidence.

4.0 is best mover because u can control its travel speed too . Not just the stopping times at ends.. 3.5 is ok too. I used both. uf u hav e choice or a few extra bucks id go 4.0.. if u have a lota $ go for that beefed up version thats the 5.0 its a beast on a double track for mutiple lights . Twice as strong as others .. but also about 500$ bucks too...

I bought the Turtle for my grandson who demonstrated it for me in his garage and driveway. It zoomed around fine on both surfaces but in your case, it would depend on the roughness of the asphalt. He loves it.

Originally I had a Maxxis crossmark tire on the front of my Santa Cruz Superlight I purchased the Maxxis Ardent because of the width, wanted more bite in the front end. I think it's more predictable and has a much better bite and is more confidence aspiring. perhaps in extremely hard terrain it may be a little more skittish it works fine in medium and soft soils for me, we ride mostly in medium soil to almost sand. It's a great tire for that, sorry I can't offer you more info as I just haven't been in hard surfaces. Ride On.....

Depends on how active you are. This was made for a halfpipe. If you're looking for comfort and long distance cruising its better to fork up an extra 20 dollars for the a5 luxury

You can tell the difference. It's not horrible but is a bit noticeable, and may be more so if that is what you are focused on. I needed it for outside situations and glare in the car for my 10 year old. That and being protected from scratches is worth it to me since my 10 year old does not know the difference. :)

Some people say they are same. I have one, I like it If you want to have very smooth and bright skin ，I suggest you buy TR350

It is really smooth. It's awesome on wood floors and with the soft poly urathane tires it doesn't damage the floor. On sidewalks it's good and streets too. If the surface is level there are good times to be had but this is scary going downhill and uphill is impossible.

You trade some of the stock comfort for alot of performance capability ,but if you ask me its well worth it. On the highway its amazing but on the streets,potholes and raised manhole covers can be a pain. This really is "racing equipment",so if your simply after comfort go with stock. If your willing to sacrifice a little comfort, these are great. I would buy them again if I needed to.
