The Razor A scooter … What does that phrase conjure up in your mind? If you have kids, I’m sure that you’ve already heard of the Razor A scooter series, but they weren’t about when we were children. However, the idea was, although I forget the marques from my childhood.
I loved my two-wheeled, kick-powered scooter when I was a kid. Mum and Dad had their car, my older siblings had their bikes and I had my scooter. It didn’t go fast, but then, I didn’t go far either, but it was a vehicle, of sorts and it gave a 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 yesteryear. The Razor A scooter series was brought out in the year 2000 and is tough, strong, collapsible and as safe as you can get.
The Razor A scooter series is sold in several forms to suit different age groups, requirements and pockets. For instance, the Razor A scooter is intended for children of six years and older, while the Razor A2 scooter, the Razor A3 scooter and the Razor Pro scooter are meant for older, heavier, more demanding and more skilful enthusiasts. With prices starting at around $25 none of them is over-priced.
The Razor A scooter series is made from aircraft-quality light aluminium and weighs in at only 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 boot of your car or on the bus. Storage is a cinch too.
The Razor A scooter range is height-adjustable too in that the handlebars can be raised as your child grows up or if an older sibling wants a turn. It also has a heavy-duty braking system, which is obviously very important since these scooters will easily travel at speeds of five or six mph on the level and much more on a slope. Going down hill, that is.
The Razor A scooter series also has lesser and greater stable companions. The Razor Kiddie Kick is intended for children younger than six and has a third wheel for increased stability, although it is just as robust and long-lasting as the Razor A scooter series. The Razor A scooter series 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 extra exercise over a prolonged period of time. After all, it all adds up, doesn’t it?
Furthermore, for those who require a bit more power, there are the Razor E100(S), Razor E200(S) and the Razor E300(S), which are electrically driven scooters. The (S) denotes that they have a seat fitted.
So, why not introduce your child to the idea of mobility with a Razor A scooter? Give your child the chance to look back on his or her youth in 20-30 years time and remember zooming about at three-five mph on a Razor A scooter.
