Razor Scooter, Childs Aluminum Scooter

The scooter has a 1,000-watt motor and chain drivetrain that helps it reach speeds of up to about 20 miles per hour, with a range of 16.6 miles. And with some solid 16-inch wheels with wide pneumatic tires, that ride will be very smooth, according to Razor. Other features included in the cargo scooter include bright LED headlight and tail and brake lights, and an onboard display razor electric scooter for speed and battery life. The all-aluminum Razor Icon is like the DeLorean of electric scooters. Its shininess and lack of paint really makes it stand out from competing models. Razor sent me a version with orange wheels, hand grips and a big orange Razor logo on the deck — and I can say, if you’re going to buy one of these scooters, pick the boldest color you can find.

The small LED screen isn’t fancy but gives you a good readout of your speed and battery life. There are three speed modes, though I never used anything but the highest speed mode. And the motor braking in the rear wheel is surprisingly powerful.

A small red LED display on the right handlebar shows your speed and battery life, and it has two buttons to turn the scooter on and off, and to activate its head and tail lights. But this isn’t a scooter I’d put my mom on if that puts things into perspective. The other issues, like motor noise and annoying maneuverability, are quality-of-life issues. They aren’t deal breakers, but they definitely go in the “con” column. So there are some nice little features that get built into this rather unassuming e-scooter. And considering the price of just $1,099, that’s a pretty cool setup.

Razor endorses the use of helmets, elbow pads, and knee pads while riding scooters. For kids ages 6-14, we’d recommend Segway Ninebot’s line of kids’ scooters, which range in size and motor power depending on the rider’s height. When it comes to kids scooters, Razor has new models like the E90 and E100 for youngsters razor electric scooter age 8 and above. Their beginner scooters range in price from around $169 to $229, and they appeal to parents because they are some of the most inexpensive models on the market and come from an established brand. If you’re shopping for an electric scooter for kids, Razor might be the first name that comes to mind.

Well, it’s difficult to pinpoint a single creator of the first kick scooter. Like many inventions, the design was likely the result of multiple individuals refining and iterating on the same basic idea in various parts of the world. However, the essential design—a platform on two or four wheels, with a handlebar for steering—remained consistent.

The scooter can hit 15.5 mph and can be used for longer distances with 12 miles of riding available on a single charge. Razor has stepped into scooter-sharing in some cities, so this wide-based scooter might be familiar to some people from the rental service. Razor, the scooter company that probably brings back memories of kicking and coasting down the block to your friend’s house for a playdate, is expanding its line of adult electric scooters. The company launched Thursday a new seated electric scooter that is designed to carry cargo, or if you like, another passenger on the back. Fluid Freeride sells some very sweet commuter electric scooters, like the CityRider and Horizon, that are competitive in price, and superior in specs, to Razor’s scooters for adults. And Fluid is well known as a pioneer in the electric scooter space with boutique levels of customer service and support.

For more general information about electric scooters, see below. While Razor might pull off the looks of a cool electric scooter for adults, the truth is that there are several better options out there if you’re serious about buying an electric scooter for everyday use. While many of Razor’s scooters look similar to scooters we regularly review here at Rider Guide, they don’t offer much more for the price than the Icon. For older kids, we’d recommend the G2 Plus, a smaller version of the adult G3 Plus (more on that scooter below). With a 200W motor, the G2 Plus can reach speeds of up to 12 mph – compared to the Razor E100’s max speed of 10 mph.

Razor electric scooters are sleek, powerful machines designed to fuel your urban adventures and leave a smile on your face.

They’re known as Segway Ninebot now, and they make electric scooters for everyone, from small kids to electric scooter racing pros. In 2003, signaling their intent to keep pace with technological advancements, Razor introduced their first electric scooter. This Personal Electric Vehicle (PEV) could reach claimed top speeds of up to 15 mph, a significant leap from the traditional kick scooter.

The Icon got me around pretty easily, both in my neighborhood and up and down the avenues in New York City. It has a nice, smooth pickup, and its motor was strong enough to get me up my test hill (and its 6% grade) at around 5-6 MPH. That’s on the slow side, but typical for a motor with this output. On level terrain, I was able to easily hit the scooter’s max speed of 18 MPH. The Razor Icon is its aptly named successor, adding a motor but keeping the same overall look. Beneath the exterior, though, is a great midrange scooter that’s affordably priced, with  good range and a suitably strong motor.
