Razor A model review

The Razor A model is the scooter that started the kick scooter boom in 2000, and Razor still sells it with the same basic recipe: an aluminum deck and T-tube, a folding downtube, a rear-fender brake and 95 mm urethane wheels. It weighs 4.62 lb, needs no assembly, and the handlebars adjust in height and fold. Razor rates it for ages 5 and up and riders up to 143 lb, which means a child can keep using it well past the point where Micro's 110 lb Maxi tops out. At a $44.99 MSRP it is the cheapest scooter on this list. The limits come from its age: the deck is a narrow 17.3 by 3.6 inches, the small wheels transmit every bump, and two wheels ask for balance that some 5-year-olds do not have yet. A child who has not ridden before may do better starting on a three-wheel scooter and moving to the A model a year later.
