The shiny aluminum deck, colorful wheels, minimalist foot brake, and folding stem all harken back to the scooting days of yesteryear. I’m Josh and I’m the Founder of Electric Scooter Insider. I’ve made it my mission to help people, like you, seamlessly find and choose the right electric scooter. Typically, the part that you may need to replace is the battery. But, with that being said, I think it’s highly unlikely that you’ll need to do this unless you absolutely run the scooter into the ground by riding it consistently every day of every week.
Folding metal foot-pegs allow seated riding and riser-style handlebars and an adjustable-height, padded seat provide a totally comfortable ride. In the US and Canada, Razor scooters are almost synonymous with children’s scooters. That’s what happens when a brand has been around as long as Razor, and has released many different versions that have stood the test of time. Anyone weighing up to 154 lbs / 70 kg can ride the Razor E200.
Our fun stand up electric scooters provide a thrilling alternative to standard scooters and bikes. Whether taking trips to the local park, or lapping around the block in your neighborhood, riders love the power razor kick scooter behind our motorized scooters. All of our scooters have been designed for safety and stability. Razors’ electric scooters feature rear wheel drive that balances rider’s weight for better traction and control.
As with other Razor scooters, the E200 comes with the iconic, recognizable Razor scooter look and feel, that all of the models from the E line have. Razor has just channeled its iconic scooter design from the 2000s for a new electrified version. My 11-year-old has had this scooter for 2 months now and uses it regularly. He loves it, and according to the other kids in the neighborhood, they like his scooter better than theirs.
We also stuck with scooters that topped out at 15 mph for utmost safety. And like our commuter and high-performance picks, we pored over reviews from parents where accessible. Thanks to its 1,000-Watt motor, the Apollo Explore can hit speeds of up to 31 miles per hour, more than fast enough to keep up with local traffic. And, because it has dual suspension and air-filled tires, it offers a smooth ride, even when going over the bumpiest of roads.
You could ride your Razor to the mall, and then stash it in a backpack. You can read our quick Battery Buying Guide to educate yourself about the important battery characteristics. We have extensive resources to provide you with any sealed lead acid battery model.
When fully assembled, the scooter will probably not fit in most car trunks. However, if you get the latest version of the scooter, which should fold at the stem, then fitting it into a car trunk will not be an issue. In theory, chain-drive motors have one additional potential point of failure, and another part that needs some maintenance, which is the chain itself.
In 2014, The Atlantic and other news outlets reported that Razor and other brands of scooters contributed to substantial increases in yearly numbers of emergency room visits. In addition to the brake, a rider can slow down simply be letting up on the twist grip throttle. It would charge, the On/Off button would turn on, but the throttle wouldn’t engage the motor. Based on troubleshooting via Razor’s website, we thought we were going to have to buy a new throttle and power center, but when we took the scooter apart, the chain had just come off track. It was a bit difficult to get backontrack, but doable and this fixed our problem.
The team held their most recent exhibition event on August 30, 2014 at the 3rd Annual Triple Crown. Due to the rough demands of trick riding, people often reinforce the razor electric scooter scooter to withstand impacts and high force.

To increase the safety of younger riders, razor recommends a three wheeled scooter. The E100 twist grip accelerator must be held in place to maintain speed and then released to stop. When a rider needs actual stopping power, they can engage the hand brake.
