Remember the Scooter?

The Razor A scooter … What does that phrase make you think about? If you have kids, I’m sure that you’ve already heard of the Razor A scooter series, but they weren’t about when we were children. However, the idea was, although I forget the marques from my youth.

I adored my two-wheeled, push-powered scooter when I was young. Mum and Dad had their automobile, my older brothers had their bikes and I had my scooter. It didn’t go very fast, but then, I didn’t go very far either, but it was a vehicle, of sorts and it gave that feeling of freedom. I had my wheels and I was on the move!

Well, the modern equivalent of that scooter is the Razor A scooter series. And they really are modern too! They are a long chalk from the simple scooters of yesteryear. The Razor A scooter series was brought out in the year 2000 and is sturdy, strong, collapsible and as safe as you can get.

The Razor A scooter series is sold in several forms to accommodate different age groups, abilities and pockets. For example, the Razor A scooter is intended for children of six years and older, while the Razor A2 scooter, the Razor A3 scooter and the Razor Pro scooter are intended for older, heavier, more demanding and more skilful riders. With prices starting at about $25 none of them is expensive.

The Razor A scooter series is made from aircraft-grade light aluminium and weighs in at only six pounds. That’s light enough for any young child to be able to carry, if necessary, without risk of injury. It is also collapsible, which means that it is easy to carry under your arm, in the boot of your car or on the bus. Storage is a cinch too.

The Razor A scooter range is height-adjustable too in that the handlebars can be elevated as your child grows up or if an older sibling wants a turn. It also has a heavy-duty brake, which is naturally very important since these scooters will easily reach speeds of five or six mph on the flat and much more on a slope. Going down hill, that is.

The Razor A scooter series also has lesser and greater stable mates. The Razor Kiddie Kick is meant for children younger than six and has a third wheel for greater stability, although it is just as strong and durable as the Razor A scooter series. The Razor A scooter range is intended for ‘young-minded’ people from the age of six. I use the words ‘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 college. That mile or two every day will save you gas and give you more exercise over a prolonged period of time. After all, 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 powered scooters. The (S) means that they have a seat attached.

So, why not introduce your child to the concept of mobility with a Razor A scooter? Give your child the opportunity to look back on his or her younger years in 20-30 years time and remember rushing about at three-five mph on a Razor A scooter.
