Review: Razor Icon electric scooter is a budget-priced nostalgic ride

As you would expect from an electric scooter that has been designed for kids, it is visually appealing and bright in color. The twist grip throttle controls the speed and is on the right hand. It must be held in place with a firm grip to maintain speed and doesn’t allow for variable speeds – if you’re interested in varying speeds, you’ll need to upgrade to the E300. Chain motors can come off track, and after about 4 months of ownership, this did happen to us. The price of the Razor E Prime III Electric Scooter seems high because we’re accustomed to the price and availability of the popular kick scooter line from the same brand. But $50 for a kick scooter VS $400 for an electric scooter isn’t a comparison we should really make, unless we’ve not yet decided if electric is the way to go.

The hub motor gives the E90 a long drive time – 80 minutes. This is nearly twice that of the Razor E100 Glow and the Razor E200; both offer around 40 minutes of continuous use. So it’s a solid choice for anyone considering buying an e-scooter – particularly if you’re looking for good electric scooters for kids.

The E200 also has a better load capacity of 70 kg (154 lb) as compared to 54 kg (120 lb) of the other two scooters.

You’ll be glad to know that it’s not like putting together a piece of IKEA flat pack furniture. Instead, all you need to do is slide the handlebars into the front post above the front wheel, and tighten the collar clamp razor scooter with an allen wrench. If you want an electric scooter that is going to last for a long time then you can’t go wrong with the Razor E100. The Razor Power A2 is Razor’s newest model, and has some pretty sweet features.

I only collapsed it to tuck it away in a corner at destinations with limited space, such as the dentist’s office. To collapse the scooter, turn the knob at the bottom of the frame all the way to the left, then pull the knob up as you pull the handlebars down. The process is smoothest when you have one hand pulling up on the knob and the other pulling down on the handlebar at the same time. It’s difficult and frustrating when your two hands aren’t working in tandem, a challenge I’ve had with Razor’s non-electric kick scooters as well. That said, I’ll take sturdiness over ease when it comes to portability.

The scooter weighs about 38 pounds and has a maximum rider weight limit of 154 pounds. That will allow most kids and many small adults an opportunity to ride. Its range is rather limiting, so if you need something that lasts longer on a single charge, consider the best long range electric scooter. The front wheel is razor hoverboards an 8″ air tire while the rear wheel is a smaller polyurethane wheel. The air tire absorbs bumps in the road and produces a smoother rider than traditional scooter wheels. If you want an electric scooter with two air tires, you can try the Razor E200, but be prepared for a higher maximum speed and a higher price.
