 Good Quality Scooter January 7, 2007

I own 4 scooters - 1 Razor A1, 1 knock-off brand, 1 Xootr MG, and this one. Now we have one for everyone in my family. For a scooter with 100 mm wheels, this is the best quality. The finish is quite nice, and the sturdy features make this feel quite solid. The taller handlebar height is welcoming for a 5'-10 adult like me.
The negative is that it is still a scooter with small 4" wheels. This means you will fly forward if you hit a crack in the sidewalk. Therefore, I consider Razor's mainly recreational - great fun in a school yard or park, but not as good as transportation, where there are sidewalks.
For transportation, an adult should consider the Xootr, for the 7" wheels. Its big wheels and stability is worth the $200 price.
But for a Razor type scooter, this is really the one to get if you are into decent quality products. The Razor A1 is not bad quality, but its really for pre-teen children. Be careful of the clone brands - the Target store brand is pretty bad quality and rattles a lot. Plus its steel, so it has gotten rusty. The Razors have been rust resistant dispute riding in the rain, etc since it is aluminum.
 works well with heavy use, but be careful over cracks and bumps December 19, 2006

well designed for 'harsh' demand of usage. Intended more for adult and professionals, but I find it actually easier to maneuver than the other razors because of the beefier handles.
Regardless of which Razor you use, you need to pay particular attention while you go over bumps or cracks on the street---due to smaller wheels and no springs, it is very easy to tip over forward if the Razor runs across uneven surfaces.
If you have kids using this, you should definitedly get helmets and hands/knees paddings.
A great, economical item! February 19, 2007

We are teaching my 6YO to ride a bike, but it's not going well. He wanted a scooter, so I got him the Razor A2 and ordered the Razor Pro for me. Very nice! Supports my weight, is easy to maneuver, and is inexpensive! The only problem is folding it up again when we're done - this is sometimes a bit tricky.

I'm currently 19 and in college. I use this thing everyday because my campus is huge and I'm lazy. It's a good scooter I had a knock off when I was younger probably 13 and it broke but I've been punishing this thing and its still holding strong. I'm also 6'3" so it's good for big kids as well as smaller possibly more portly ones. Can't beat it for the price and it beats the heck out of walking.

If your teen needs a taller and more durable scooter for riding or delivering papers on a paper route, this is it.
