Electric Scooters for Adults & Kids

If you want something portable and lightweight that folds together nicely for easy transportation, the E Prime Air is definitely a decent option. Razor provides a 90-day limited warranty on all their electric rideables. While this is fine on the cheaper models, we feel this is a little low for a model in excess of $400. Many competitors will offer you 180 days or even a year for similarly priced products.

I did find that it would continue to brake for a split second after I released the lever, which caused a weird sort of lag. The Icon looks like a scaled-up version of its original scooter. The base is very angular, with sharp edges in the front and back that give it a raw, almost unfinished look, but it works. All of the Icon’s wires are routed through its frame, furthering the clean lines of the scooter. In comparison, the MegaWheels S5 offers up to 13 miles on a charge while being notably cheaper.

Razor’s mechanism for folding the Icon is pretty simple and foolproof. You loosen and then pull a small lever at the base of the downtube to unlock the handlebars, which then swing down and lock into the stored position. It feels a lot more secure than on scooters which require you to latch the handlebars to the rear fender. On the left handlebar is a push-button electric brake; you can also step on the rear fender to slow the scooter down. Among the best electric scooters, it’s definitely a standout compared to its peers.

The full-featured Segway Ninebot comes in several models to cater to a wide age range of kids. Each model offers a different maximum speed, maximum weight limit, and handlebar height. While most electric scooters go 10 mph or more, that is really fast for a young kid!

The overall build quality of the scooter, the good balance of performance and safety, the handlebar height, the weight limit, and all of its features are designed for the younger teenager. My family thought this would be a fun way to explore the Tacoma waterfront. The scooter failed part way through the trip (with plenty of battery). Customer service on the app was a worthless BOT and I could not end my ride to stop the per-minute charges until I drug the 40 lb scooter a half mile back to the parking area. After requesting a refund, Razor service was rude and only offered a refund as a “one time courtesy” because of how long it took me to drag their garbage back to the parking lot. The 250-watt lithium-ion battery pack powers this scooter at speeds up to 15.5 mph with an 18-mile range on a single charge.

And judging by the user reviews, damage on delivery is rarely an issue. Due to the rough demands of trick riding, people often reinforce the scooter to withstand impacts and high force. While it’s nice to have the reassurance of a mechanical brake, the Razor Icon’s electronic brake was responsive, and slowed me down quickly.

To slow down, the child can raise their rear foot which stops the motor, and also engage the rear fender brake. In all modes, the scooter will beep a warning at you if you’re going faster than the maximum recommended speed to remind you to brake to slow down. But even if you ignore the warning, the scooter’s motor actually shuts off to slow the scooter down.

Under the deck, the specifications noted that there were two lead-acid batteries. Lead-acid batteries, the same type used for decades to power starter motors in cars, seemed a little primitive to me in this era, when lithium-ion appears in most electronics. Most motorized scooters razor scooter for kids don’t have adjustable handlebars, so the manufacturer sets them at a height they feel is best for the child. The slower E8, which is meant for younger kids, has lower handlebars. The Razor E100 is the kids electric scooter that started the electric scooter craze.

If you’re not a fan of the stand-up style that most electric scooters deliver, then the Razor Pocket Mod Bellezza Euro-style Electric Scooter is a solid option for getting around town this spring. Delivering a seated experience with a 16 MPH top speed, this electric scooter goes for up to 70 minutes on a single charge. With no gas or oil required to function, this scooter will help you get around town this spring without having to use your traditional vehicle.

Second, this little kids electric scooter has a unique foot-engaged, kick-to-start throttle which is another safety benefit for young kids. To get the GoTrax GKS started, a child places their foot on the front deck button and kicks off the ground to get the scooter moving. Once a safe speed has been attained, the motor will razor electric scooter kick back in. Going faster than the max happens on any kids electric scooter when going downhill. Due to its kids-sized frame and deck, the Razor E100 is one of the lightest electric scooters in the Razor range. However, considering the E100 is a kids electric scooter, a slower speed is preferable (depending on age).
