Razor A Kick Scooter

The original kick scooter, the Razor A is a handy little ride for kids and teens alike. Though it'll never replace the internal combustion engine, the scooter will get your child from point A to point B much quicker than on foot alone, and requires just a few scoots of one's shoes in the process. Plus, it's a blast to use, as your progeny will likely attest.
The Razor A is built of aircraft-grade aluminum, a sturdy material that holds up to use and abuse through the years. Its T-tube and deck, meanwhile, fold up into a compact footprint, so riders can fit the scooter inside a bag or carry it at their side when riding isn't appropriate (it weighs around 6 pounds). And thanks to the 98mm inline-style urethane wheels, ABEC 5 bearings, and patented rear fender brake, riders will always feel smooth and in control when kicking along the sidewalk.
Recommended for ages 5 and older, the Razor A will support a rider up to 143 pounds. It's also backed by a six-month warranty. For the next step up, try the Razor A2 Scooter. Price: Razor A Kick Scooter

Nice Ride
I ordered this skooter for my 7yr old Grandson, who needs it for physical therapy (improving his balance). I liked that the skooter comes fully assembled (quite novel these days). I was told that Razor builds a well constructed product, and I found that to be the case. The only complaint is a minor one. The adjustment lever for raising/lowering the height of the handles is too tight for a small child to operate. Perhaps it will loosen up with time. As will all my Amazon purchases, I was happy with the entire transaction, especially delivery.

Perfect!!
I was stunned when my son told me he wanted the original scooter and not one of the upgraded, more expensive ones. (Hallelujah)
Apparently, this the one all the other kids he knows has. The reason is, and this is IMPORTANT- the newer ones have some kind of bar/guard on the back, that in theory, is a good idea, but according to my son, gets in the way, and inhibits breaking (stopping). Cheaper AND safer- it has my vote!!
