The Scooters Of Your Youth

August 28, 2010 by: Owen Jones

The Razor A scooter … What does that phrase make you think about? If you have kids, I’m sure that you’ve heard of the Razor A scooter series, but they weren’t around when we were kids. However, the idea was, even though I forget the brand names from my youth.

I loved my two-wheeled, kick-powered scooter when I was a kid. Mum and Dad had their automobile, my elder brothers had their bicycles and I had my scooter. It didn’t go very fast, but then, I didn’t go very far either, but it was transport and it gave that feeling of freedom. I had my wheels and I was mobile!

Well, the modern equivalent of that scooter is the Razor A scooter series. And they really are modern too! They are a far cry from the simple scooters of years ago. The Razor A scooter series was introduced in the year 2000 and is sturdy, strong, collapsible and safe.

The Razor A scooter series is sold in several guises to accommodate various age groups, abilities and pockets. For example, the Razor A scooter is meant for children of six years and older, while the Razor A2 scooter, the Razor A3 scooter and the Razor Pro scooter are meant for older, heavier, more demanding and more skilful riders. With prices starting at about $25 none of them is over-priced.

The Razor A scooter series is constructed from aircraft-quality light aluminium and weighs in at just six pounds. That’s light enough for any small child to be able to carry, if required, without risk of injury. It is also collapsible, which means that it is easy to carry under your arm, in the boot of your car or on the bus. Storage is a cinch too.

The Razor A scooter series is height-adjustable too in that the handlebars can be elevated as your child grows up or if an older sibling wants a go. It also has a heavy-duty braking system, which is obviously very important as these scooters will easily travel at speeds of five or six mph on the level and much more on a slope. Going down hill, that is.

The Razor A scooter series also has lesser and greater stable companions. The Razor Kiddie Kick is intended for children younger than six and has a third wheel for increased stability, although it is equally as robust and durable as the Razor A scooter series. The Razor A scooter series is intended for ‘young-minded’ people from the age of six. I say ‘young-minded’ because it is quite the fashion now, to put one in the car and scooter the last mile or two into work or college. That mile or two every day will save you fuel and give you more exercise over a long period of time. After all, it all adds up, doesn’t it?

Then, for those who require a bit more, there are the Razor E100(S), Razor E200(S) and the Razor E300(S), which are electrically powered scooters. The (S) means that they have a seat fitted.

So, why not introduce your kid to the concept of travel with a Razor A scooter? Give your child the chance to look back on his or her younger years in 20-30 years time and remember rushing about at three-five mph on a Razor A scooter.

Do you have great memories of your chilhood scooter? The Razor A scooter is the modern equivilent. Come visit our web site at http://razorascooter.com and find out more.
