Razor A Kick Scooter for Kids - Lightweight, Foldable, Aluminum Frame, and Adjustable Handlebars

I have owned my Razor A2 Kick Scooter for many years now. Being a kid, I always had to have the latest, or more commonly, the coolest. When all my friends began bragging about their super cool new Razor scooters, I just had to have it. I instantly found it on Amazon and spent all my Amazon gift certificates I had been saving. When it came I was so excited. I made plans to roam the streets in my new scooter! I was pretty satisfied for the first few weeks with the scooters performance, then I got caught up with school work and soon, the scooter was forgotten (obviously the newness had worn off or possibly it hadnt held my interest, hmm..). I eventually got a very nice bike and rode it every day, especially enjoying making wide turns across the street (which was not the safest choice, you kids out there!). One day, while searching the garage for my bike helmet I stumbled upon an ancient artifact- my old scooter! I decided to test it out and see how well I could still ride it. Of course I had grown some, which was one of the flaws with the scooter... there is a limit to how high the handlebars could be raised. I rode into the driveway and as the first wheel hit the small space between my driveway and the sidewalk- you know... where those little wooden bars are? -the whole scooter tipped over! I thought, either Im not used to this scooter, or it isnt very stable. So I continued into the road. Expecting to make a large U-turn on the little scooter I turned the handles and quickly the bike stopped and fell over giving me a minor bruise to the forearm. I know, I know- you probably think Im just some reckless person who was just really stupid with handling my scooter. But I must say, I looked at the scooters handles and thought the two handles where your hands go were pretty close to each other. I compared them to my bikes handles and was surprized. The scooters handles were really close to each other. Now if you like sensitive steering (tiny movements which turn more than you think), the scooter would be no problem for you. But being a bike rider, I like big wide turns. So here is my list of pros and cons. My opinions may not be even relevantly close to yours, but hey, thats what makes it an opinion. Pros: * These scooters make good birthday presents for kids ( I would recommend ages 6 - 11 but all kids are different) * There are five pretty cool colors: black, blue, purple, red, and green * The handlebars have a squishy feel and are pretty comfortable * The metal bottom part of the scooter where you stand has a rough sand-like texture so you wont slip off while riding * It folds in half for easy transportation as well as the handles folding up * The brake located on the back helps to stop quickly Cons: * The handlebars are somewhat hard to steer * The surface on which you drive needs to be pretty smooth (rough surfaces: hard to maintain speed... cracks or ridges: tipping over) * The handles cant adjust to every height, so if you are at least 5 feet tall, riding MAY become difficult... same with adjusting smaller, the handles might be too high if you arent particularly tall * It does require a little practice before being able to ride it perfectly... but I suppose thats not really a con, is it? NOTE: If a stick or a rock is in the path of this scooter and you dont want to bother going around it... let me save you the trouble by saying, just go around it! This scooter can be fun to ride as long as it suits you... Im not really against, or for this scooter. And I am not trying to make you buy, or not buy this product. I just want you to think through the pros and cons before you buy this... unlike I once did.

Works great. Removed from box and set up. Daughter was riding it in 3 minutes tops. Recommend!

My 8 year old daughter wanted a scooter for Christmas so Santa got her the cheap Hello Kitty scooter...within a month the wheels split. So we bought her the Pink A Kick scooter and she loves it. We often go scootering which is basically me walking behind her going Slow down! or Dont go to far! Which gave me the idea of building my own scooter...which you can see pictures of in the Razor Ultra Pro deck for sale elsewhere on Amazon. Anyway, this scooter is perfect for her now, low priced, but very solid build. She currently trying to learn to hop and jump off the curb. I did notice that the stock pink wheels were a bit un-round....not true...I guess...but since I had bought new wheels for my scooter, I decided to try and fit them on her scooter. The stock wheels are 98mm and the wheel I had are Yak Scat II purple on black solid core 100mm wheels. Well the fit with barely enough clearance...not bad. She says the scooter rolls much better...now I need to get Purple grips and Grip tape to match.

We gave this to our son for his third birthday. Hes average height and the scooter fits him well when in the lowest position. Hes young, so there is a learning curve for it and he is still improving, but he has quickly learned how to balance and is now getting down a quicker speed. I bought it because I liked that it can grow with him, and I expected it to last because of the experience we had with our daughters scooter. This last week, however, after having it for one month, he brought it to me with the insides of the handles dangling out. Now, he might have played with it a little, but the bungee that holds them on has now broken and it makes me not trust the collapsable handles. The handles are also connected to the scooter by a bungee cord when they are folded down for travel, and now I dont believe that I can fold down the handles as this bungee is likely to break as well. I couldnt recommend this product because of that. Lets face it, the handles coming off would make it a really awkward skateboard.

This is a great scooter!! My 5 y.o. loved it for her birthday! After a few tries, she can really go on it! Shes small for her age, and we live in a mountainous area, so its not exactly a piece of cake for her to ride anything with wheels. The first time we took it to the park, she wiped out 4 times (!) but was able to roll off in a way that she didnt get hurt. The next time out, she did 10X better! I love it because its portable and folds up so easily, taking up next to no space in the car. It shipped in a small box, and literally clicked together out of the box. We end up taking it along a lot of places and she gets in extra riding time during otherwise boring events where busting out a big bike would be a little much. It is also so so cute. Much to my dismay, my child is in the thick of a princess phase and she was so happy to get this. My 63 husband also rides it and it holds up great! lol! He did some skateboard tricks on it and impressed the neighborhood kindergartners.

Smooth! Its so incredibly smooth. Thats what I was told when I heard the response to this Christmas gift. The scooter was ready to ride in seconds and adjustability was simple and on target. No tool required to customize the fit. The board length was perfect, not cramped and not too long. Warning: The brake heats up almost immediately when used, so its not a good idea to ride barefoot - or it might be better to come to a stop by stepping instead of using the break. The scooter is quiet, not rackety like the scooter that was used in the past. The color was a bright and cheerful pink, not a Pepto Bismol pink. Im very impressed so far! Well see what happens after a summer of fun. ;)

This is a sturdy scooter with extras. I found other scooters for more money and no tassels or bell. This something the kids can really enjoy and like to show off. I got this for my daughters 3rd birthday and she loved it. We have been using it for 10 months and it has held up well. She is lighter then say an 8 year old and the wheels are in great shape even after our weekly park rides. The Bell and tassels didnt make it after a party with older kids. Im sure if youve hosted a party with tween-agers you know what I mean. I have full confidence she will continue riding this scooter for years to come.

I purchased this Razor Scooter as a gift for my 6 year old grandson. This scooter was replacing his old scooter (a different brand) that broke after using for only a short period time. I waited 5 months before writing a review in order to see how well this Razor A Kick Scooter held up in comparison to his old scooter. Well, this scooter is far superior in construction as well as ease of use. It is light in weight (only 6 pounds), and constructed of airplane grade aluminum. It is extremely durable,, able to withstand all that a six year old boy could inflict upon it. It is well balanced and folds up easily, has inline style urethane wheels, and a rear fender brake. I purchased it in the green color to match his new safety helmet. Well, its been 5 months now, and my grandson has put it through the equivalent of an extreme automotive durability test. The Razor A Kick Scooter has passed with flying colors, earning it the Grandma Certificate of Approval.

String connecting handles to scooter snapped off right away so now if take apart handles easy to loose and may be sharper and unsafe at edges.

About what I expected for the price. Definitely wouldnt trust it on a larger child.
