Razor A5 Air Kick Scooter For Adults And Teens, Height Adjustable Handlebars With Anti Rattle, Foldable Mechanism For Easy Storage And Transport, Supports Riders Up To 100 KG (220 Lbs).

I have been using this scooter daily for almost a month at the time of writing and I have some thoughts to share. I had to read many reviews when searching for a new scooter, upgrading from a cheaper and more "traditional" scooter with plastic wheels. This review is for those of you who, like me, needed to hear more about it from people who've owned it to make a purchasing decision. Quality: All the parts of this scooter feel solid and well machined. I have no complaints about the handlebar grips, the deck, or the rear brake pad which are the three elements one would interract with on a constant basis. Practicality: - When riding around, the scooter does not rattle very much at all. It also does not squeak or creak when riding as long as you have the small harness screw tightened securely. - Speaking of that harness, (for lack of a better term), it is a small screw that you must loosen in order to lift it slightly which releases the folding mechanism for the handlebars which fold flat against the deck. I like this system a lot, it works very well. - The height of the handlebars can be adjusted, but if you are any taller than 170cm, as I am (181cm) then you will probably have them up all the way. As such, when they are up all the way, a small pin comes out through a hole in the outer layer of the spine, locking its height in place. THIS IS FANTASTIC, as you never have to worry about the handlebars getting lowered ever so slightly over time. You never have to readjust the height, which can be a fiddly process at the best of times on most scooters. This is a very underrated feature. Riding Experience: - The speed is not as fast as regular scooters with plastic wheels. This is due to the tires, well... the fact they are real tires. I've found that it is plenty fast for zipping around the city, yet not too fast that it will accelerate down a hill at an uncontrollable rate. I cross a bridge every day and whilst I just walk it up most of one side, I ride it all the way down the other without reaching speeds that I can't come back from. - The tires make for a softer ride than regular plastic wheels. I don't feel all the bumps and ridges in the pavement nearly as much. Furthermore, the tires allow for more grip, meaning my ability to lean into turns is improved over regular scooters, especially in damp or wet conditions. - When reading reviews, much was made of the ride height of this scooter being too low. I can tell you that it is NOT too low... for the most part. I have scraped the bottom on a few occasions, but only when transitioning to a section of road or pavement that changes significantly in gradient from the last. This is not something that happens often and if you have any experience riding a scooter, you know to look out for this sort of thing anyway. This scooter simply requires slightly more vigilance on your part. Don't give this to a child to ride though, especially around busier roads. Maintenance: The only thing you have to do before riding this scooter (other than lifting it out the box and unfolding it) is inflating the tires to 60psi, as indicated. This is a little bit of a struggle and is definitely made easier with a second pair of hands. The inconvenient position of the nozzle requires you to flex the tire somewhat in order to change the angle of the nozzle just long enough to screw the pump onto it. Easier said than done but not too much of a bother once you get the hang of it. Overall: I am satisfied with this scooter. It is not perfect but I am happy with the upgrades over my previous bog-standard scooter. The wheels with tires are very confortable and more secure to ride on. The handlebars never need adjusting. It feels good to hold and to carry, (not weighing more than 5kg if I'm not mistaken), and the slight issue of the ride height is alleviated by an extra dashing of common sense and vigilance. The five star rating does not mean it is perfect, it just means that it has fulfilled my needs to a tee.

Really great scooter, works great off road and on pavement. My son is just 7 but nearly 120cm in height and this fits him perfect

Been using this scooter for a few months now going to and from work through the middle of town, here are my observations: Pros: -Ride is very smooth despite not having suspension -Scooter is very quiet with absolutely no rattling, as advertised (almost too quiet though as people won't hear you coming and might unknowlingly step into your way) -It's sturdy and well-made -It grips well even in rainy weather, feels safe and comfortable -Folding mechanism is robust and quick to use -nice and light (like most scooters this size), easy to carry with for a quick stop shop if you fit it with a strap Cons: -It is a bit low to the ground, but you get used to it and it's not a very big issue as long as you pay attention to the ground in front of you. -It's slightly slower than solid wheel scooters. -The biggest problem for me, and the reason I don't give a 5/5, is the brake. A consequence of the rubber tyres is they don't grip the underside of the brake as well as smooth wheels would, I would recommend being careful about your speed if you're on a pavement with other people walking along as an emergency stop isn't easy. Overall had a pretty positive experience, the issues are mostly minor and it's been a solid workhorse for the near-everyday use I've subjected it to, everything still feels as solid as it did out of the box. Would recommend

Nothing to fault really! Very good construction....strong and able to support my 14 stone weight easily. Fold mechanism is easy to use, and makes this a very practical adult size scooter. Not too heavy to carry when folded. Bigger tyres make for a softer ride - they are a good compromise between off and on-road whilst still allowing a good glide between pushes! Get one....they are great fun and a good alternative way to keep fit!

Just leaving this review in case any bigger people are looking at this - I'm 195cm/6'4" and about 85kg and find it easily big enough, in fact I bring a 12kg sack of dog food back from the shops on the handlebars and about 10kg of shopping in a rucksack and it copes just fine! I bought this for transport around town, to help strengthen and mobilise my stiff lower back and also just for fun - it delivers on all counts! The ride is fairly bumpy even with the fat tyres, but not terrible. Low clearance takes some getting used to, but you soon learn the footplant and lift technique. It gets you around a lot faster than walking, and is much less hassle than a bike, just fold it up and take it with you - no theft problems. Zipping around town doing chores becomes an adventure - they really put a smile on your face and gives you a good whole body workout to boot. Get one! PS I watched a Youtube review which suggested upgrading the bearings, and that made a decent improvement to the ease of gliding/effort required. They were "Reds Bones" skate bearings, and you need 4 of them.

Stable, great ride. Low deck. Brakes aren’t great. The wide pneumatic tyres seem slow. But maybe the smoothness and lack of drama also add to this. All in all I prefer pneumatic to hard tyres (I tried both) I’ve had 1 puncture so far it was easy to fix as the whole wheel comes apart. The deck is REALLY LOW. Lower than my kids micro scooters. As well as it being low it is FLAT. This means when it bottoms out there is a large surface area contacting the ground which brakes the scooter hard. I’d say it’s dangerous on slightly uneven pavements and it’s this reason that I wouldn’t buy this model again.

I have been using kick scooters for more then 10 years. Razor A5 Air 8 inch kick scooter with inflatable wheels is the best comfortable cheap scooter I have used . Will take you places and stay fit. No vibration or rattling noise when used, quite fast and lightweight. Very small to be taken with you anywhere, bus or train. Fully recommend by a kick scooter expert. Wink 😜

This is a great scooter. I ordered it as it had pneumatic tyres and a low deck. Both requirements for a comfortable ride for me. I am so pleased with my purchase. It rides without any jolting or jarring that you get with hard wheels and glides over rough surfaces and corrugated pavers with ease. I have not found any significant difficulty in pushing the pneumatic wheels nor any significant speed changes either. It is a very stable ride and my confidence has grown in leaps and bounds. It folds and unfolds easily too. I would suggest the following improvements: - the brake is very soft, needs to be improved. Definitely needs a hook so that you can add a carrying handle. It is almost impossible to reach the valves to pump up the tyres. They either need to be moved to provide easier access or perhaps some kind of adapter to make it easier to reach. It would be nice to have space on the back bumper to add a rear light. But overall I am very satisfied with my purchase and would happily recommend it.
