Razor A3 scooter--green 
2008-09-21
I got this for our son last Christmas and he loves it. The wheels are bigger than the standard A2 scooter, and so that makes you go faster, and control the scooter better. Comes fully assembled and ready to ride. Well made and loved by the neighborhood, this scooter is going to be around for quite some time!

Yes, Iam 69 and just love riding my little red scooter. It's easy to fold up and put back in my car and it's steady to ride on.
Peforms better than what the manufacture states

It might say it only works for up 143-pound user weight capacity, but I'm here to tell you it works for 160 pound adults as well. It's primary use is by my 7 year old son. However, prior to purchasing my wife a bike I had to use this for family bike rides. Amazingly this scooter not only withstood a beating I put it through, but also was capable of speeds of fast biking on various paved terrains. Don't just buy one for you child make sure you put a quantity of 2 or more for the whole family when placing your order.
great!

My seven year old LOVES it. It has bigger wheels and a bigger base for those big kid feet.
Great scooter

My almost-13-year-old daughter was able to take it right out of the box and use it right away with no help or assembly. It has made her summer lots of fun. We have absolutely no complaints!

The RazorĀ® A3 scooter is updated with larger, 125mm urethane wheels and ABEC-5 high-speed bearing. The front wheel is equipped with shock-absorbing suspension to help smooth out your ride. The aircraft-grade aluminum construction includes folding handlebars, rear fender brake, and a wheelie bar for tricks. Recommended for ages 5 and up.
Jodi's review Awesome !!!

I like my scooter very much, sometimes I think of it as a skate board, sometimes I trick my mom by pushing two buttons making it looks like its broken. I wish it was black. THE END
Bigger wheels make this the best Razor scooter but still not good.

I am 52 years, 5'2", 52 kg. For years I used the 98mm-wheel Razor for quick visits to neighbors. Not recommended for children because a small pavement crack can send you flying. This one has bigger 125mm wheels. This certainly makes it better on those cracks but not as much better as it should be.
Shock absorption? I don't notice any. This is just as bumpy as the other one.
Breaks? Poor. This one does not break as well as the small-wheel one. No breaks at all if the wheel gets wet.
The answer to better shock absorption, breaking and crack-jumping is quite simple: make the wheels soft. Also give them a bit of tread for traction, and as an indicator of when to replace them. The manufacturer would even make more money by selling more replacement wheels. Evidently however, they are not capable of thinking in terms of basic practicality, any more than any fashion designer.
Razor Scooters were not the first scooters, but they rejuvenated their popularity by making the wheels tiny, unsteady, unsafe, and thus better able for children to do tricks, win prizes, impress girls, destroy their knees, bash in their skulls and all that. Aside from that, Razor Scooters are made of fairly sturdy materials. They are now a well established brand who probably wants to minimize lawsuits. If you must buy this type of scooter, then this is certainly the brand to get.
However if I were looking for a scooter for my child, I would try for the Kent Super Scooter.
For me, gliding a scooter downhill is second only to hang gliding in feeling like a bird. The small wheels do add to this a certain feeling of finesse. Going from 98mm to 128mm already loses some of this feel. So I do not prefer big clunky wheels. (Although who knows, maybe that will be the next fad.) The 128mm wheels would be big enough if only they were built like wheels instead of castors. However that's the way it is. I would buy the Kent even for myself, instead of buying this again.
Well balanced, smooth ride

Purchased this scooter for my 8 year old. He has no trouble balancing it and the wheels give a very smooth ride. The wheelie bar is positioned right behind the brake making it very difficult to use the wheelie bar without also slamming on the brake.

My purchase arrived in a timely fashion and the merchandise was packaged professionally. The scooter came in it's original box and everything was perfect.
