The Razor A Scooter

The Razor A scooter ... What does that phrase conjure up in your mind? If you have kids, I'm sure you've heard of the Razor A scooter series, but they weren't about when we were kids. The concept was though, even though I forget the brand names from my youth.

I treasured my two-wheeled, kick-powered scooter when I was young. Mum and Dad had their car, my older brothers had their bicycles and I had my scooter. It didn't go fast, but then, I didn't go far afield, but it was transport and gave that sense of freedom. I had my wheels and I was itinerant!

Well, the modern equivalent of that scooter is the Razor A scooter series. And they are modern too! A far cry from the plain scooter of years past. The Razor A scooter models was introduced in the year 2000 and is sturdy, tough, foldable and safe.

The Razor A scooter series comes in quite a few forms to go well with several age groups, abilities and pockets. For instance, the Razor A scooter is designed for children of six years and up, while the Razor A2 scooter, the Razor A3 scooter and the Razor Pro scooter are meant for elder, heavier, more needy and more competent riders. With prices beginning at about $25 none of them is expensive

The Razor A scooter series is constructed from aircraft-quality light aluminium and weighs in at just six pounds. That's light enough for any young child to be able to carry, if necessary, without injury. It is also foldable, which means that it is easy to carry under your arm, in the trunk of your automobile or on the bus. Storage is a pushover too.

The Razor A scooter series is height-adjustable in that the handlebars can be raised as your child grows or if an older sibling wants a try. It also has a formidable braking structure, which is obviously quite essential as these scooters will easily reach speeds of five-six mph on the horizontal and much more on a slope. Going downward, 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 greater steadiness, although it is just as sturdy and long-lasting as the Razor A scooter series. The Razor A scooter series is designed for 'young-minded' people from the age of six. I say 'young-minded' because it is quite the rage now, to put one in the car and scooter the last mile or two into work or school. That mile or two every day will save you fuel and give you added work out over a extended period of time. It all adds up, doesn?t it?

Then, for those who want a bit more, 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 present your child to the idea of mobility with a Razor A scooter? Give your child the chance to reflect on his or her adolescence in 20-30 years time and recall rushing about at three-five mph on a Razor A scooter.
