The Razor Kick Scooter

The Razor kick scooter is the present-day counterpart of the sort of scooter that has been around for 50 years or more. In fact, children have probably been attaching boards to wheels ever since abandoned wheels became obtainable. As with those archetypal scooters, the Razor kick scooter is driven forward by foot power. That is, you place one foot on the board and push forward, or in other words kick back on the ground with the other.

This way of propulsion makes the Razor kick scooter an idyllic mode of transport, training and fun for children of all ages. In fact, Razor do not advocate a Razor kick scooter for the under fives unless supervised and say in their manual:

“Children under age eight (8) should ride with adult supervision at all times. All children and preteens should ride with adult guidance at all times”.

This appears pretty severe to me and is most likely an instance of over-watchfulness because of the litigious culture we live in. Just try suggesting to a twelve-year that you have to exercise guidance on all of his or her trips!

Having said that the Razor kick scooter comes in approximately seven different guises. There is the Kiddie Kick scooter for the under fives. It is constructed of tough plastic and has a third wheel for added stability.

Then there is the ‘A’ series of Razor kick scooter: the A, A2, A3 and AW. These models are approximately equal to a child’s growth in size, ability and experience, although the highest recommended weight for all three models of Razor kick scooter is 65 kilos or 143 lbs.

The Razor kick scooter Pro is a jump up in expertise and so has more capabilities. It can be used for extreme sport and will carry a rider weighing up to 100 kilos or 220 lbs.

Last, but not least, is the Cruiser Razor kick scooter. It will bear 79 kilos (175 lbs of weight and has larger wheels as it is designed for unhurried cruising about. The larger wheels mean that you won’t feel any uneven terrain beneath you while you are on this Razor kick scooter.

All of these Razor kick scooters share comparable characteristics. All of these models of the Razor kick scooter are of very rugged assembly and all but the Razor Kiddie Kick scooter are made of high-grade aluminium and are built to last.

These Razor kick scooters have extendible steering rods, which means that they can be pulled up to grow with your child or can be shared by children of different sizes. They also share a tough braking system which is operated on the rear wheel, rendering them ultra-safe for operation in the vicinity of pedestrians.

A Razor kick scooter starts at about $45 and so is an economical way for you to make sure that that your child gets regular exercise, gets out from behind his computer, gets some fresh air and sunlight and learns about courteousness while having enjoyment being mobile. Apart from all these benefits, a Razor kick scooter will give your child fond reminiscences to look back on for the rest of his or her being.
