Razor Cruiser Scooter

We bought this as a birthday gift for our daughter who recently turned four. She has been asking for a scooter since she was 2, so she was thrilled to get it. She seemed particularly delighted by the color and the large wheels, both of which stand out from most of the smaller-wheeled, silver scooters the other neighborhood kids have.We wanted the large wheels to reduce the likelihood of sudden stops if she hits a twig or pebble in the road. These wheels seem to fit that bill perfectly, since they appear to roll smoothly over all the typical road debris (little bits of asphalt, cracks in the pavement, pine straw in the road, etc.). She hasn't had any problems in that regard.The handlebars adjust very easily up and down. At the lowest position, it seems to fit her well at age 4, but I suspect she could ride this scooter for the rest of her life, since even at my adult 6' height, it can adjust to an acceptable fit (except that I exceed the 145 lbs. weight limit, of course). The deck is slightly bowed upward to handle the weight of the rider; in practice, it also seems to act as a slight shock absorber (since my daughter is so light), flexing lightly to absorb some shocks as she goes over a rough patch. The handlebars are coated in a soft foam like some bike handles. The front wheel/neck/handlebars rotates a full 360 degrees so you could probably do "tricks" if that's what you're wanting. And there's a friction brake over the back wheel for slowing yourself down without having to stop cold.The folding mechanism to fold the scooter up for storage takes some getting used to. The latch is stiff and has to be pressed with some force. I don't think my daughter's fingers are strong enough to operate it, but that's fine, since she doesn't really need to fold it up anyway. But when I take it in and out of our garage, I fold it open or shut, and always try pressing the latch both directions (thinking it isn't working) until I remember it's stiff and needs quite a lot of pressure to release. That's probably good for safety reasons as well. It doesn't seem likely that this scooter would ever fold up while in use to cause an accident, which is probably why the latch is made so stiff. I like that it folds, since it makes it very easy to stow this scooter in a car (to take it to the park) or garage (to store it).All in all, this is a great scooter for almost any child 4 and up. You'll want a good helmet, of course, since falls are very likely (and probably frequent) as the child first gets accustomed to the balance and feel. And the pink color is very pleasing looking--especially to a little girl!

Updated September 2018 with the following: First scooter is holding up decently and I bought a second of the exact same model for my younger son. The first it kept outside under a deck, so it's somewhat weather protected, but still exposed to the environment. The chrome plating is being taken over by rust in numerous areas but this hasn't taken away from usability. The wood deck is holding up well and although the grip tape decal is still in place, the edges are slightly curling up here and there. I don't want to fault Razor too much for this since it's my choice to store them outside where it's quick and easy for the kids to grab them, vs. a better protected indoor location.About the right size for our 6 year old, who graduated from a Micro 3-wheeled scooter. But the adjustable height handlebar makes this workable for our 4 year old, too.I'm a big fan of the wooden deck just for aesthetics. You know kids can be hard on their gear, and this scooter gets laid down a lot. The wood so far has held up, and looks better than scratched up metal. It stands out nicely against the polished metal, and is fairly sturdy, even under adult weight (though I wouldn't recommend it for an adult).I also like the larger wheels on this version -- they're less affected by uneven or cracked pavement and driveway lips, although they can still be stopped short without much of an obstruction.The heel brake is pretty decent. Many scooters use nothing more than a flexible piece of metal or plastic; this model features a pin hinge and a return spring. It's probably more susceptible to something breaking -- just a wild supposition -- but it's a nice touch.Lastly, the value seemed fair compared to a lot of the other similar-sized scooters I looked at. It's money well spent if we can get a few years out of it.

I recently got this scooter for my 4 year old son. He's big for his age (45" and 45lbs) and this fits him well. I appreciate the extra width on the footbed and it's long enough for him, though I'm not sure how adults could possibly fit 2 feet on there in terms of length! I also really like the sandpaper surface of the wood, which really keeps him from slipping. The brake also works pretty well, and my son was able to figure it out quickly. The folding mechanism is a little stiff, but I'm hoping it loosens up over time. The scooter looks really cool - my son loves it - though I think the wood may scuff more easily than metal. It's a bit heavier than I'd expected, but not too bad to lug around with us into stores or on the subway.My only real complaint is that the ride just isn't that smooth. My son was riding it in the house when he first got it and it seemed great, but we have pretty bumpy sidewalks near us, and he finally got off on a long easy downhill slope (which he usually loves to ride down) and walked because it was so jarring. He had a minikick scooter before, and the ride on that scooter is so much smoother and more stable. I wish I could get this scooter with Kick scooter wheels, but I haven't seen any non-Razor brand wheels that would fit this one, unfortunately.Still, this is a sturdy, nice-looking scooter, and has good stability for a 2 wheel. Lots of kids near us have the basic Razor, and I think the cruiser is definitely more stable and a better buy. If Razor would just improve the wheel quality, it would be perfect for us!

Decided to finaly invest a little more $ getting a quality scooter ! However, the scooter I received had the board grip unglued (5inches) when received and I had to glue it back. The included tool was missing (and I didnt had one in hand) and the manual seems manipulated... wheels also seems a little used but that may be from factory test if any... the grip is not perfectly centered and the board back wheel is not centered also. Not a big concern but showing quality issues. Overall, seems like a good scooter but I either received a used one, or their factory quality controll is not good. I had contacted Razor directly to advise of my experience and they told me to contact Amazon instead ? Why do they put this big paper in the box, sayin to contact them directly instead of the seller ?

I wanted a good scooter to ride for pleasure and one that could take from place A to place B smoothly. I'm 25 years old and I live in Montreal, you have never seen a city with streets worst than ours REALLY. So I can assure you that the Razor cruiser scooter is great for the city. It offers me a smooth ride and is a wonderful ride for adults. I read comments about the handle being too short and it's true I'm 5,4'' so it's perfect for me but anyone higher than 5,6'' might find it too short.The only annoying thing I found was that the rear break makes a loud rattling sound on rough roads....Overall it's a really great scooter, great quality and sturdy for it's price. A great buy.

Lo compré para mi hijo de 5 años, ya había pasado el peso de su Micro de 3 ruedas y me decidí por uno de 2 ruedas que le durara mucho tiempo.La parte de madera es ancha y cómoda. Aguanta perfecto el uso un poco rudo que le damos, ya llevo con él varios meses.Lo recomiendo ampliamente.

I'm a 5'2" adult rider. The product is sturdy enough for my 130 lbs. weight. It has a 5.5" diameter wheels which rides smoothly and can manage the slight bumps of the road. My only issue with the scooter is the handle bars' height. The product description indicates that the maximum height is 35" - it's actually an inch shorter. I had an old scooter with a handle bar height of 36" which was perfect for me. Otherwise, I'd definitely recommend this scooter for both kids & adults.

lo compré para mi hijo de 8 años creo que no es apto, es para adultos aunque muy muuuy pequeño
