The Razor Kick Scooters
The Razor kick scooter is the present-day counterpart of the type of scooter that has been about for 50 years or more. In actuality, kids have almost certainly been fixing boards to wheels ever since scrap wheels became available. As with those classic scooters, the Razor kick scooter is propelled forward by foot power. That is, you put one foot on the board and push forward, or in other words kick back on the ground with the other.
This method of propulsion makes this kick scooter an ideal style of transportation, exercise and pleasure for kids of all ages. In deed, Razor do not advocate a Razor scooter for the under fives unless supervised and state in their handbook:
“Children under age eight (8) should ride with adult supervision at all times. All children and preteens should ride with adult guidance at all times”.
This seems pretty strict to me and is almost certainly an instance of over-prudence because of the litigious culture we live in. Just try suggesting to a twelve-year that you have to employ guidance on all of his or her trips!
Having said that the Razor kick scooter comes in roughly seven different guises. There is the Kiddie Kick scooter for the under fives. It is constructed of tough plastic and has a third wheel for greater stability.
The Razor kick scooter Pro is a leap up in technology and so has more capabilities. It can be ridden for extreme sport and will bear a rider weighing up to 100 kilos or 220 lbs.
Then there is the ‘A’ series of Razor scooters: the A, A2, A3 and AW. These models are more or less equal to a child’s development in size, ability and experience, although the highest recommended weight for all three models of Razor scooter is 65 kilos or 143 lbs.
Last, but not least, is the Cruiser Razor scooter. It will carry 79 kilos (175 lbs of weight and has larger wheels as it is meant for leisurely cruising about. The larger wheels mean that you won’t be aware of any rough ground beneath you while you are on this Razor scooter.
These Razor scooters have extendible steering rods, which means that they can be pulled up to grow with your child or can be shared by children of different sizes. They also share a tough braking system which is operated on the rear wheel, rendering them ultra-safe for operation in the vicinity of pedestrians.
All of these Razor scooters share similar characteristics. All of these models of the Razor kick scooter are of very tough manufacture and all but the Razor Kiddie Kick scooter are made of high-grade aluminium and are built to last.
A Razor kick scooter begins at about $40 and so is an inexpensive method for you to ensure that that your child gets frequent exercise, gets out from behind his computer, gets some fresh air and sunlight and learns about civility while having fun being mobile. Apart from all these advantages, a Razor kick scooter will give your child affectionate reminiscences to look back on for the rest of his or her being.
