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.
We always recommend age-appropriate riding and use of helmets and other safety precautions. Some scooters have an additional safety mechanism razor hoverboards to get the scooter started. “Kick to start” requires a child to get the scooter moving to about 2 MPH before the motor kicks in.
This is unique because every other kids electric scooter we tested can only accelerate to its max – a child can’t choose to ride at a lower speed. With larger wheels and a front wheel spring damping system, the Segway Ninebots offered the smoothest ride of any of the kids electric scooters we tested. The Razor E100 is the Parents Choice Award for kids electric scooters. It is one of the cheapest electric scooters on the market, delivers hours of fun and comes in multiple colors so you’ll be able to choose the perfect model for your son or daughter. Athletic and coordinated older kids can safely manage faster speeds. The electric scooters below max out between 12 and 15 mph, which is the fastest of any of the other scooters on this list.
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.
Though for an adult, the speed and acceleration may leave you wanting more. Well, there’s the slight difference in top speed – ranging from 16 kph (10 mph) for the E90, to 19.3 kph (12 mph) for the E200. So, for their safety and to prevent accidental takeoffs, the makers have opted for the kick-start function. The Razor Electric Scooters have a single speed mode, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage.
That’s why I have decided to share my first hand experiences and hundreds of hours of research to provide you with a comprehensive review of the Razor E100 leaving no stone unturned. Our unanimous verdict is that all three razor electric scooters – Power Core E90, E100 Glow, and E200, perform remarkably well. Each scooter comes with its unique features, strengths, and weaknesses. We’ve narrowed down the list to three top-rated Razor Electric Scooters – the Razor Power Core E90, the Razor E100 Glow, and the Razor E200.
