Razor Scooters are a widely popular choice of kids scooter all over the world. The Razor Scooter is made by Razor USA and was first manufactured in 2000 with the kick scooter. They have a special team of pro riders that help design and test new models. Since they started Razor has continued to invent new ways of riding using latest technology and materials and being at the forefront of scooter development across the world.
The range of Razor Scooters can be placed into four categories, the Razor Kick, Stunt, Caster, and Electric.
Razor Kick Scooter
This was the original Razor Scooter and is perfect for first time riders or the younger generation. Most of the kick range scooters come with a folding mechanism which makes carrying a whole lot easier. They also have a telescopic T tube to allow the handlebars to be adjusted and grow with the rider; these two factors are something that stunt scooters usually will not offer. With a frame made out of tough aluminium, making it lightweight, and urethane wheels which give great abrasion resistance and fantastic grip with the ground the Razor kick is a good all-rounder. One of the most popular in the range today is the Razor Spark, with a detachable spark cartridge at the back of the scooter giving the rider a trail of sparks wherever they go.
Razor Stunt Scooters
Razor introduced a range of stunt scooters for the more serious rider. Stunt scooters are built to withstand force and weight from jumps and tricks. This is one of the reasons most stunt scooters do not fold, they have extra durability in the down tube as the last thing you want is a folding scooter in the middle of your trick. The handles bars are not adjustable on stunt scooters again for added strength, and come in two sizes for different height riders. With a double welded deck and superior urethane wheels the Razor Stunt scooter is made to last, and gives a solid feel when landing stunts and tricks. Razor's best-selling stunt scooter is the Razor Ultra pro.
Razor Caster
Razor developed a range of caster driven products for something a little bit different. The best of these are the Ripstik, Powerwing and Rip rider. The caster wheels are positioned such that the rider can move their body from side to side whilst on the board which results in the board drifting along itself without the need for pushing. They are really easy to master; they glide around tight corners and you still able to perform amazing tricks. The Ripstick has no handlebars and looks similar to a skateboard. It gives the rider a snowboarding like affect, as you transfer your weight from side to side for acceleration. The Powerwing has three wheels and looks like a scooter but with wings at the rear. The Rip rider is a seated three-wheeled model that looks similar to a bike, but has no chain and uses the same shift in weight movement for acceleration. All three of the above Razor caster ranges have proven to be a massive hit for that something special.
Razor Electric Scooter
Razor Electric Scooters are incredible fun for kids of 8 years to adults. They are built with materials to last but best of all they are eco-friendly and quite. The battery life will give you around 40 minutes of continuous riding, and some models can cruise up to 15 mph. They have a chain driven motor and thumb throttle, and with a unique handlebar folding system they are easily stored or easily put into the boot of a car.
