Razor E200 Electric Scooter for Kids Ages 13+ - 8" Pneumatic Tires, 200-Watt Motor, Up to 12 mph and 40 min of Ride Time, for Riders up to 154 lbs

I'm a grown woman - about 130 lbs - and I use this for part of my commute cuz I'm lazy as heck. All told, I love this thing! It's really fun to ride around on and I get compliments on it everywhere I go (and I know those people are so jealous lol). However, I have noticed a few things that one might want to know about ahead of time. These aren't really even problems, which is why I'm not docking the product any stars for them - just information that I figure would be good for buyers to have:1) The throttle doesn't really have a variable speed; it's pretty much just on or off, so when you let go of the throttle, be prepared to lurch a bit as the engine will rather suddenly stop, drastically slowing your roll (unless you're going downhill). Sometimes the same goes for starting - if the conditions are right, it may try to take off from under you if you aren't prepared for a sudden increase in speed.2) In the description it says speeds up to 12 mph. Thus far I've topped out at about half that (6 mph, as in 1 mile in ten minutes). I have only been riding in the winter so far though, and that speed is what I got on "warmer" (40s F) days - on really cold (20-30s F) days I get to about 4 mph (1 mile in 15 minutes). So I suspect I'll get higher speeds in the spring and summer. And of course I'm assuming someone who weighs less, or isn't routinely carrying 10 lbs of computer with them, will get higher speeds.3) Be very aware of how low to the ground this bad boy is. Slow down for speed bumps or you'll bottom out, and be aware of bumps in the road/sidewalk.4) Allow yourself plenty of time to slow down for stops. It's got a brake, but if you try to brake too quickly it'll throw you more readily than a bike will (but you'll probably just clumsily jump off, rather than flying over the handle bars).5) It is heavier than it looks and pretty awkward to carry. Just keep that in mind if you're going to be doing a lot of transferring like I do (getting it onto and off of city buses, carrying it up and down stairs).

Now I have all 3 sizes. I had originally bought the E150 and the E300 for my grand kids. The E150 has an air tire in front but has a solid hard tire in back making it pretty noisy and bumpy riding for my grand daughter. I finally got around to getting her this E200 which does have the air tires in both front and back making it much smoother riding. Size wise the E200 is right in the middle between the E150 and the E300. It has the same size tires as the E150's front tire (the E300 has bigger tires). It's definitely faster than the E150 so my grand daughter has to be a bit more careful riding it (she was quite the little dare devil on the E150). So far I'm pretty happy with it. My grand daughter loves it and she has the scrapes and bruises to prove it. Lets put it this way. Your kids are going to crash on these things from time to time so be prepared. Same thing on bicycles, just part of growing up. My grand kids go through the ritual of "gearing up" before riding which is putting on elbow and knee pads, along with the helmet and fingerless gloves (also good to have full length pants on). Only way to scooter to keep them protected.

Received this scooter yesterday for my 7 year old son. Packaging was perfect and secure. I read the warning label (Tells you to charge battery atleast 12 hours before first use) and skimmed over instructions, I assembled the handle to the base, lined up the tire to the handles and put the scooter on the charge. My son is very excited to ride it today when I come home. Last night I decided to take it off the charge to test it out for myself.I ran the scooter up and down our street and I was very surprised at the speed it put out considering my weight (180) It didn't lose power at all, and it was definitely pulling my weight around with ease. My son will love this scooter since he earned it.Great buy indeed, and after reviewing the other reviews on here, most of them state it doesn't hold a charge etc...My advice would be to read the instructions and warning label before turning scooter on. It will make a huge difference between leaving a 1 star review and a 5 star.

The scooter has large noise especially at high speed.The handle acceleration very frequently stops suddenly when I twist it, and the movement of the scooter is not smooth because of this. It happens more frequently on uneven roads.Last time, I went out to a further away place and the battery is gone with nearly 5 miles. I am way below the weight limit of the scooter.It is heavy to carry down and up the stairs.It gives me freedom to go to some nearby places without a car.And I don't need to spend a lot of time waiting for buses in the hot summer. I like it !Also, I can go to nearby subway station by it and combine them together to go to further places around.

I got this for my granddaughter's seventh Birthday and I was worried that it would be too fast for her. She has been riding scooters without a motor for many months and has mastered them. I checked with her parents and they were ok with this model with its more powerful motor.She was a little afraid for the first day, but was buzzing around the driveway when I came back a couple days later. Very happy indeed!!I wish it had a speed control, even just Hi and Lo to help get the hang of it. But the gyroscopic forces that help keep it upright work better at higher speeds.(Please-check with parents if you are giving this to a child. My guess is it takes experience with a plain scooter and bicycle to ride this safely. My almost 6 year old grandson is very good with balance and typical athletic things, but cannot ride this scooter yet. Too scary!!)Much to my granddaughter's frustration, my adult daughter and her husband love it and scoot around in it all the time. Plenty of power and speed for them. Watch the manufacturers weight limits and keep an eye on tire pressure and other maintenance items in the manual.
