Razor A5 Lux review

The A5 Lux is the scooter to buy when a child has outgrown small-wheel scooters and rides to school on real sidewalks. Razor fits 8-inch (200 mm) urethane wheels, which roll over cracks and seams that jolt the A model's 95 mm wheels, and a larger 20.6 by 4.65 inch anodized aluminum deck. The handlebars adjust and fold, the downtube folds, and a retractable kickstand keeps it upright at the bike rack. It arrives with no assembly required. Razor rates it for ages 8 and up and riders to 220 lb, so it can serve a tween through high school, and a parent can borrow it. The MSRP is $129.99. As a first scooter it is the wrong choice for young children: it weighs 8.38 lb, the most of any kick scooter here, and Razor's 8+ age rating rules out preschoolers. Buy it as the second or third scooter, once a child rides two wheels with confidence.
