Scooters: Razor & Madd Gear
The KQi2 Pro has made several of our Best Of lists over the past couple years and we continue to recommend it as a great buy — It’s miles beyond what you get from Razor for the same price. Beyond their electric scooter models, Razor has delved into various other E-Ride Ons over the years, including self-balancing hoverboards, electric skateboards, ATVs, motorcycles, e-bikes, and even dirt bikes.

The basic consists of an aluminum frame, two polyurethane wheels, handlebars, a headtube, and a fender over the rear wheel. When a quick-release latch is opened on the headtube, the handlebars and part of the headtube fold for easy carriage.
