The Razor kick scooter is the present-day counterpart of the sort of scooter that has been around for 50 years or more. In fact, children have probably been attaching boards to wheels ever since abandoned wheels became obtainable. As with those archetypal scooters, the Razor kick scooter is driven forward by foot power. That is, you place one foot on the board and push forward, or in other words kick back on the ground with the other.
This way of propulsion makes the Razor kick scooter an idyllic mode of transport, training and fun for children of all ages. In fact, Razor do not advocate a Razor kick scooter for the under fives unless supervised and say in their manual:
“Children under age eight (8) should ride with adult supervision at all times. All children and preteens should ride with adult guidance at all times”.
This seems rather strict to me and is probably an case of over-prudence because of the litigious culture we live in. Just try suggesting to a twelve-year that you have to apply guidance on all of his or her trips!
Having said that the Razor kick scooter comes in approximately seven different guises. There is the Kiddie Kick scooter for the under fives. It is constructed of tough plastic and has a third wheel for added stability.
Then there is the ‘A’ series of Razor kick scooter: the A, A2, A3 and AW. These models are roughly equal to a child’s growth in size, competence and experience, although the maximum recommended weight for all three models of Razor kick scooter is 65 kilos or 143 lbs.
The Razor kick scooter Pro is a jump up in expertise and so has more capabilities. It can be used for extreme sport and will carry a rider weighing up to 100 kilos or 220 lbs.
Last, but not least, comes the Cruiser Razor kick scooter. It will carry 79 kilos (175 lbs of weight and has bigger wheels as it is meant for gentle cruising about. The larger wheels mean that you won’t be aware of any rough terrain below you while you are on this Razor kick scooter.
All of these Razor kick scooters share similar characteristics. All of these models of the Razor kick scooter are of very robust assembly and all but the Razor Kiddie Kick scooter are manufactured of high-grade aluminium and are built to last.
These Razor kick scooters have extendible steering rods, which means that they can be pulled up to grow with your child or can be shared by children of different sizes. They also share a tough braking system which is operated on the rear wheel, rendering them ultra-safe for operation in the vicinity of pedestrians.
A Razor kick scooter starts at about $40 and so is an economical method for you to ensure that that your child gets regular exercise, gets out from behind his computer, gets some fresh air and sunlight and learns about politeness while having enjoyment being mobile. Apart from all these benefits, a Razor kick scooter will give your child tender reminiscences to look back on for the rest of his or her being.
