The Razor Kick Scooter Series
Owen Jones | July 9, 2010The Razor kick scooter is the contemporary parallel of the sort of scooter that has been available for 50 years or more. In actuality, children have most likely been attaching boards to wheels ever since abandoned wheels became available. As with those archetypal scooters, the Razor kick scooter is propelled forward by foot power. That is, you put one foot on the board and push forward, or in other words kick back on the ground with the other.
This method of propulsion makes the Razor kick scooter an idyllic style of transport, training and enjoyment for children of all ages. In deed, Razor do not advocate a Razor kick scooter for the under fives unless supervised and declare in their handbook:
“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 pretty strict to me and is almost certainly an instance of over-prudence because of the litigious culture we live in. Just try suggesting to a twelve-year that you have to employ 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 leap up in know-how and so has more capabilities. It can be ridden for extreme sport and will carry a rider weighing up to 100 kilos or 220 lbs.
Last, but not least, is the Cruiser Razor kick scooter. It will take 79 kilos (175 lbs of weight and has larger wheels as it is meant for relaxed cruising about. The larger wheels signify that you won’t be aware of any bumpy terrain beneath 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 extendable 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 $45 and so is an inexpensive means for you to make certain that that your child gets frequent exercise, gets out from behind his computer, gets some fresh air and sunlight and learns about consideration while having fun being mobile. Apart from all these benefits, a Razor kick scooter will give your child fond memories to look back on for the rest of his or her existence.
