Razor Icon electric scooter review: A classic, reinvented

There’s a Turboant X7 Pro foldable electric scooter out there that’ll run you $550 right now (with a normal price at $700) – that’s slightly larger and more powerful. I researched it on several kinds of terrain, like dirt paths, rough asphalt, and grass. It performed decently on all, thanks to those large 8-inch pneumatic tires. If you prefer a seated option, the TAO 49cc is a street-legal moped you can check out, but note it is gas-powered, not electric. This electric scooter is for people who just want to have a reliable piece of fun to spend some time with once in a while.

Each of the three new models the company is unveiling today have a top speed of only 15.5 mph, assuming a max load of 220lbs. That’s because Razor doesn’t want to sell you speed; it wants to sell you a scooter — period. That means slapping a price tag on them that wouldn’t make most customers look twice. The 250-watt lithium-ion battery pack powers this scooter at speeds up to 15.5 mph with an 18-mile range on a single charge. Commuters and travelers enjoy the pedestrian, cruising and sport modes as well as the LED headlight and brake-activated taillight.

Razer says that the Icon’s 36V battery is good for about 18 miles of range under ideal circumstances; I came closer to 10 in my riding, which included a number of hills. Just above the front wheel is a small triangular cutout through which you can conceivably thread a bike lock, but it’s a pretty small opening. – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announces the following recall in voluntary cooperation with the firm below.

The Razor Electric Scooters have a single speed mode, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage. A single, steady speed mode allows kids greater control over the scooter. But, some prefer multiple speed modes and are bored driving a single speed. You wouldn’t want to be carrying them up and down stairs, but you always have the option to tow them along on a flat surface.

Especially the fact that there are no LED lights bother us.

On a bike, if you brake with your left hand only, you’re braking the front tire which could send you flying over the front handlebars if you’re riding fast enough. So while a scooter is not a bike, if your child gets used to braking solely with their left hand, this could present a problem on a bike. The E100 twist grip accelerator must be held in place to maintain speed and then released to stop.

Short commutes are best for this budget pick; I’d recommend 7 miles roundtrip, tops. Spend a couple hundred dollars more on a scooter that can go faster for longer if you have a long commute. On my first test ride, I went 7 miles on city terrain; a mix of sidewalks, poorly paved streets, and a couple stretches of slight inclines. The scooter blinked to one red light remaining as I walked up the steps to my apartment.
