One of the most popular makers of wheeled products for children and young adults is Razor, a California based company. Based in the heart of this surfing, skateboarding and extreme sports environment, Razor make a range of products including skateboards, kick scooters, electric scooters and, perhaps their most famous product, the RipStik Caster Board.
All of these products are made from high quality materials and are designed to last and be able to stand up to the most extreme styles of riding. In fact Razor have their own team of extreme sportsmen and women, the Razor UK Extreme Team who put all of these products through the most extreme conditions by demonstrating the full range of stunts and tricks of which they are capable.
The Toy of the Year Award in 2008 went to Razor who have won many other prestigious awards for their products. They make a huge range of both kick and electric scooters with models that can be sued by children from five years old to ones suitable for teens and six foot adult males. They are all made to be sturdy and durable and light and are among the fastest scooters you can buy. The electric powered models can reach speed of up to twenty mph.
Two of the bestselling Razor scooters are the kick scooter, the Razor A5 Lux Scooter and the Razor E200 Electric Scooter. We’ll look at both these models in detail here.
For a middle of the range kick scooter, retailing at around $75 the Razor A5 Lux Scooter is good value and durable. It is suitable for children from about eight years old up to adults of 200lbs min weight. It is designed with speed and high performance in mind from the low resistance to the firm tires.
Designed for speed the tires do not give the softest ride but you can’t have everything! We believe that the high performance is a good trade off for comfort! At under nine pounds in weight the scooter is easy to carry and the handlebars easily fold down to make this even easier. Adults can take it with them folded up in the trunk of the car ready for use.
For those who would prefer a little more power the Razor E200 Electric Scooter has a top speed of twelve mph and forty five minutes of continuous riding after an eight hour or overnight charge. Plenty for commuting to work or riding around the neighborhood. It folds down easily, as do all the razor scooters, and is also very light weight. Many reviewers on Amazon gave this a very good rating. It retails for around $150.
Conclusion
Razor electric and kick scooters are very well known and liked by both children and adults and are reliable, well made and good value for money.
