Razor launched its first folding two-wheeled scooter in 2000 and sold more than 5 million units in half a year, becoming an instant hit and now a world-renowned scooter manufacturing brand. Thanks to Micro's R&D capabilities and JD Bug's production capabilities, Razor's products cover a wide range of needs, from toddlers to street play to stunt performances. Superior performance and high cost performance are its biggest advantages.
The A-Series is Razor's best-known two-wheeled pedal skateboard, which has been around for a long time, but Razor upgrades it regularly, so it's a long-standing and popular product. From A1 to A6, the 6 products of the A series are aimed at three scenarios: children's play, stunt performances, and urban travel, among which A3, A4, and A5 have the best performance and the highest cost performance.
The A2 and A3 are currently one of the most popular pedal scooters on the market, designed for children and teenagers, positioned somewhere between a toy and a stunt scooter. The fork damping system, aerospace-grade aluminum T-tubes and pedals, and adjustable handlebars are common to both the A2 and A3, but the biggest difference between the two is in the wheels and bearings, with the former with 98mm polyurethane wheels and conventional bearings, while the latter has an ABCE-5 bearing on its 125mm polyurethane wheels, which is smoother to glide and more effective at dampening road shocks and vibrations. Both models require users to be over 5 years old, while the larger size of the A3 allows it to stay with children for longer. Even if it is 150 yuan more expensive than A2, A3 is still a more recommended choice.
The A4 is not an advanced version of the A3, but a product with a different positioning. The A4 has a larger size, as well as a higher weight limit, and a weight of 100kg is more than enough for the average adult. In contrast to the A3, the A4 comes with a double-stacked head tube clamp and thickened foam gloves, both of which are designed to cushion the momentary impact of the impact. The A4 has been tested by Razor's team of professionals to ensure that it performs well for stunt performances.
For teenagers who want to travel short distances on a scooter, A5 or A6 is available. Both models use lightweight and durable aerospace-grade aluminum T-tubes, and the pedals are anodized for a less susceptible surface and easier to clean. The A6 has a higher grip height than the A5, a larger pedal area, and upgraded wheels from 200mm to 250mm for greater comfort over long distances. Due to the less friction of the wheels, the A5 is easier to start than the A6, and the price is nearly 350 yuan cheaper than the A6. Overall, the A6 is more comfortable than the A5 and is more suitable for adults who ride scooters for long periods of time, but it is more difficult for children to handle and is not recommended. It's worth noting that the A5 is difficult to stand without kickrests due to its design, so remember to choose the version that includes kickrests.
In addition to the A-series, Razor has also launched professional stunt scooters, among which the Beast and El Dorado are representatives. The PowerWing and RDS are more difficult to maneuver than regular scooters, making them suitable for older and more athletic children.
The El Dorado and Beast are Razor's newer entry-level stunt scooters, with solid alloy urethane wheels and CNC forks that allow riders to perform stunts efficiently and safely. In terms of configuration, the three-layer stacked head tube clamp and Razor's self-developed Pro 20 bearings may make the two scooters less comfortable when playing on the street, but have good stability on the scooter track.
If you have an active child, consider RDS. This scooter for children over 6 years old has good off-road ability, reinforced Y-handlebars and 200mm pneumatic sports threaded tires can easily handle dirt and gravel roads. Although the three-wheeled Caster scooter PowerWing launched earlier by Razor is not as professional as Yvolution's Flicker series, the price of 580 yuan is only one-third of the latter, and it still has a high cost performance as an entry-level model.
