Razor Pocket Mod Euro Electric Scooter– Overview
Razor is known for making quality toys for children and this one is no exception. With beloved vintage styling that will remind you of classic Italian mopeds cruising along cobblestone streets, this scooter is sure to be a favorite for your child. Perhaps the best feature is the storage allotment under the seating, a great idea to help carry small items while riding. The Razor comes with a limited warranty, safety features that other scooters miss, and styling that is top-notch. Built to withstand the tornado of children, it also has great suspension, a beefy weight to stay solid through playtime, and plenty of features that will make you understand why this scooter has been heralded in Newsweek, Teen Vogue, and TIME magazines.
Who Should Buy the Razor Pocket Mod Euro Scooter
The Razor Pocket Mod is designed for children under 150 pounds, no matter what age range. It is ideal for those between 8-18 years of age and can go about 15 MPH depending on the weight of the child. It has had its features honed for kid-friendly appeal and parent-worthy durability. While some color options can be gender-neutral (they have black, black/gray, and white), the majority of designs are geared toward girls making it one of the most, if not the most, girl-centric razor moped on the market. All the other colors in the market release have pretty floral or swirl designs along with the pastel color base.
Features
Besides the great look of this scooter and the long-range of use, the Razor Pocket Mod also boasts these features:
Deck
A stable and thick deck is wide enough to move around a bit while the child is riding and still not be bulky or obtrusive. The frame is designed for versatility. There isn’t any clutter for your child to get bogged down in. The Razor pocket mod scooter deck also has a kickstand to park it anywhere, allowing ease of use without a tip or fall over.
Handlebars/Information Center
Strong, stiff handlebars that don’t jiggle are all about safety. These also have handbrakes featured that are simple yet responsive, and will not only stop the scooter but will cut power to the motor when used. The grips are nice and comfortable and don’t slide easily on the bar so that the child has a good sturdy grip. They are well spaced and even, so your arms aren’t raised or lowered to uncomfortable levels. Razor also has plenty of handlebar streamer options at your disposal.
Tires
No skimpy tires here! We see big tires that are a full 12 inches and are air-filled so that you have a smooth ride throughout the day, even on uneven terrain. With large tires, you get more stability and there is longer wear time, plus it will smooth out some of the bumps along the ride. The tires on this pocket scooter are better quality than the cheaper scooters and are a worthy investment to your child’s long-term usage of the scooter for a more stable, safe, and comfortable ride system. Your child will be able to feel the difference.
Lights
The lights on the Razor Pocket Mod Electric Scooter are a little different from most scooters in that it has a front light system just like the vintage rides it is designed to look like. This front light is bright enough to see the ground in front of you, should the child need it. You won’t have to worry about any vision issues with this pocket mod scooter. The front light means that this scooter is great for riding on those cloudy days or when you couldn’t beat the sun going down to get home.
Portability and Weight
The Razor Pocket Scooter has a weight of only 59 pounds, which may sound heavy but is much lower than some of the scooters in today’s market. This means that it is more portable than heavier scooters while still being well made and sturdy. While still too heavy for a child to lift, they will be able to push the scooter if need be because of the easy suspension.
It is not foldable and will not fit in an average trunk. This makes for mostly local use only, unless carried in a truck.
Quality of Construction
With a strong steel frame, this scooter is designed for the long-term use your children will give it. A heavy frame can take more damage, more terrain options, and will not bend and twist as easily as some of the cheaper scooter models on the market. Couple that frame system with the shatter-proof design of the body and you have a scooter that knows what quality is all about.
Charging Outlet and Charging Time
Charging is one of the only cons to this entire setup. The razor pocket mod 24-volt electric scooter has a charging port that you’ll hook the charger onto, keeping in mind that the scooter should be off during charging, and watching the charging light go from red (charging) to green (done charging). The first charging time can be up to 12 hours but later charging can be about 8 hours. Always check for any damage to the cords and cables prior to charging so that it is safe.
The battery power is about 250 watts and is actually two 12v batteries. It should be kept charged as the manual outlines. Overcharging the battery or leaving it to sit will drain the battery’s ability to keep a charge and reduce its lifespan.
Warranty
There is a limited warranty on the Razor, 90 days free of defects from the date of purchase. It does not cover normal wear and tear, tire, cables, tubes, or damage that is from improper assembly, storage, use or maintenance. The warranty is void if it is used for anything other than recreation or transportation, if it is modified, or if it is rented. Razor is not liable for loss or damage due to the scooter. There is no extended warranty.
Safety
The scooter comes with a hand-operated braking system that not only slows the scooter’s own but also cuts the motor when used, ensuring that your child is safe. There are other precautions Razor designed into the scooter such as the shatter-resistant construction so that if it is damaged there is far less ability for shards to fly out and injure your child. Other than throwing on a helmet, and possibly some elbow and shoulder pads depending on the parental style, this scooter is ready to go and will do it safely.
Razor Pocket Mod Electric Scooter Review
What’s the verdict on the Razor Pocket Mod Euro Electric Scooter? We ADORE it. Seriously. We could barely pick the top three pros to put on our Pro/Con list. There is great value for your money, so much so you shouldn’t even consider the cheaper options on the market. You’re getting a great quality scooter for a worthy price. It is heavy, which could be seen as a con but in actuality, it really helps make for a sturdy piece of equipment and is a given because of the all-steel framework. It will give your child the sense of being on a real scooter and not just a toy. For this reason alone, your child will have a much different outlook on this scooter than others you could purchase.
These are all great features but I want to focus on two – the shatter-proof build and that front light. Both are classified as safety features, and both are something you can’t find in the majority of children’s riding motorcycles and scooters. The shatterproof design helps keep your child safe should it fall over or hit something, keeping debris from flying and possibly hitting your child. The front light isn’t just for looks, it has a bright bulb that will illuminate your child’s path so that they can see what’s in front of them in darker areas.
I heartily endorse this scooter from one end to the other. It is a scooter that you’ll not have to worry about as long as you properly maintain the battery and adhere to the charging specifics.
Conclusion
Over 13 million people have purchased a scooter from the Razor company, the market leader since its founding in 2003. This particular model is sturdy, safe, has a great suspension, and is pretty to the eye. It is a great choice for any child with its quiet and smooth ride and fashionable features. You can readily find it in several retail locations and online.
While there are a few cons such as the long charging time for a 40 minute/10-mile ride, all other features completely make this ride worth it. Your child will love it and not want to get off of it. The parent in you will sigh with relief knowing about the safety features and that it is more stable than some of the other smaller, more flexible scooters.
So in conclusion, if you want to buy the best electric scooter for kids, the Razor motorcycle is a steel-framed, safe, pretty, well-constructed euro electric scooter that will definitely make your child’s dreams come true all while easing your mind about the purchase.
