According to Razor, you should get a good 40 minutes (4-6 miles) of riding out of it if you’re a child. Just remember that it varies a lot depending on rider weight and terrain. Razor also announced the Razor Icon, which will arrive in stores this September according to the company. The Icon is the original Razor scooter, electrified, made for grown-ups and available in blue, pink, red or black. According to Razor, a full charge will take you 7.5 miles or about 40 minutes of continuous riding (whichever comes first).
Each of the three new models the company is unveiling today have a top speed of only 15.5 mph, assuming a max load of 220lbs. That’s because Razor doesn’t want to sell you speed; it wants to sell you a scooter — period. That means slapping a price tag on them that wouldn’t make most customers look twice. The 250-watt lithium-ion battery pack powers this scooter at speeds up to 15.5 mph with an 18-mile range on a single charge. Commuters and travelers enjoy the pedestrian, cruising and sport modes as well as the LED headlight and brake-activated taillight.
When a rider needs actual stopping power, they can engage the hand brake. There are no true variable speeds on the E100, it’s pretty much just accelerate to maximum speed, maintain, and decelerate to zero. Before you read any further, let us clear up any confusion you have about the Razor electric scooter models. Razor sells several different electric scooters and even sells the same scooters under different names for different retailers. In general, the larger the model number, the faster the scooter will go, the more weight capacity it has, and the better tires it rolls on.
When the battery indicators were red, the scooter topped out at 12 MPH. The E Prime III has a 5-stage LED battery indicator; at full razor hoverboards charge, three lights are blue, one is orange, and one is red. A nightly charge was absolutely necessary when I was using it daily.
The Icon looks like a scaled-up version of its original scooter. The base is very angular, with sharp edges in the front and back that give it a raw, almost unfinished look, but it works. All of the Icon’s wires are routed through its frame, furthering the clean lines of the scooter. Lights are necessary for riding at night and are also helpful in low-light conditions.
