The Razor A scooter … What does that phrase conjure up in your mind? If you have children, I’m sure that you’ve heard of the Razor A scooter series, but they weren’t around when we were kids. However, the idea was, even though I forget the marques from my youth.
I loved my two-wheeled, kick-powered scooter when I was a kid. Mum and Dad had their car, my older siblings had their bicycles and I had my scooter. It didn’t go fast, but then, I didn’t go far either, but it was transport and it gave that feeling of freedom. I had my wheels and I was mobile!
Well, the modern variety of that scooter is the Razor A scooter series. And they really are modern too! They are a far cry from the simple scooters of years ago. The Razor A scooter series was introduced in the year 2000 and is sturdy, strong, collapsible and safe.
The Razor A scooter series comes in several guises to accommodate various age groups, requirements and wallets. For example, the Razor A scooter is meant for children of six years and older, while the Razor A2 scooter, the Razor A3 scooter and the Razor Pro scooter are intended for older, heavier, more demanding and more skilful enthusiasts. With prices beginning at around $25 none of them is expensive.
The Razor A scooter series is made from aircraft-grade light aluminium and weighs in at just six pounds. That’s light enough for any young child to be able to carry, if required, without risk of strain. It is also collapsible, which means that it is easy to carry under your arm, in the trunk of your car or on the bus. Storage is a doddle too.
The Razor A scooter series is height-adjustable too in that the handlebars can be elevated as your child grows up or if an older sibling wants a go. It also has a heavy-duty braking system, which is obviously very important since these scooters will easily reach speeds of five or six mph on the flat and much more on an incline. Going down, that is.
The Razor A scooter series also has lesser and greater stable mates. The Razor Kiddie Kick is intended for children younger than six and has a third wheel for greater stability, although it is equally as robust and durable as the Razor A scooter series. The Razor A scooter range is intended for ‘young-minded’ people from the age of six. I say ‘young-minded’ because it is quite the fashion now, to keep one in the car and scooter the last mile or two into work or college. That mile or two every day will save you fuel and give you more exercise over a long period of time. After all, it all adds up, doesn’t it?
Then, for those who require a bit more, there are the Razor E100(S), Razor E200(S) and the Razor E300(S), which are electrically powered scooters. The (S) means that they have a seat fitted.
So, why not introduce your kid to the idea of travel with a Razor A scooter? Give your child the opportunity to look back on his or her youth in 20-30 years time and remember rushing about at three-five mph on a Razor A scooter.
