The affordable price makes all the difference.\u00a0 It\u2019s a simple model that has everything a younger person might need in moderation. Something that we think is great with this model is the handbrake which most kids are used to from their ordinary bikes and the twistgrip throttle is easy for them to handle.<\/p>\n<h2>Review<\/h2>\n<p>The E100 comes with a decent speed of 10 mph and I would recommend it for kids around 6 to 10 years old because of the top speed. According to Razor, you should get a good 40 minutes (4-6 miles) of riding out of it if you\u2019re a child. Just remember that it varies a lot depending on rider weight and terrain.<\/p>\n<p>I do not like that they use lead-acid batteries as they have a far lengthier recharge time than lithiums and are much heavier. But at this price, you can&#8217;t ask for much more. The recharge time is 8-12 hours and I recommend you to get a pack of extra batteries ( 2 x 12v). Otherwise, you better cover your ears because there will be complaints from your kids.<\/p>\n    \t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"rate_bar_wrap\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"review-top\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"overall-score\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"overall r_score_8\">7.7<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"overall-text\">Total Score<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"review-text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"review-header\">For the youngsters<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThe E100 is a good electric scooter for younger kids.

The E100\u2019s chain makes a lot of noise in comparison, and it doesn\u2019t handle inclines too well thanks to its low output. But you can always help it out with a few kicks and the price makes up for its flaws. If you want more power, longer ride time, and a quieter ride they&#8217;ve launched an upgrade called Power Core E100 that has a built-in maintenance-free 100W hub motor instead.<\/p>\n<p>I weigh in at around 77 kilos and can easily ride it together with my 4-year-old who weigh around 15 kilos so the quality of the scooter is just fantastic. It might not go fast though and only on flat surfaces.<\/p>\n<p>The front wheel is subject to flats as it has inflatable 8\u201d wheels, they do however give you a more comfortable ride given the shock reduction they provide. It comes with a kick-stand so your kids don\u2019t have to toss it around and damage the handlebar. It is a simple <a href=\"https:\/\/envyride.com\/the-best-gotrax-gks-scooter-for-kids-how-to-choose-the-best-option\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">scooter that does it for most younger kids<\/a>. The riding experience overall is very good and my kids like to ride it a lot. The kick to start function prevents accidental take-offs very well.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve never felt uncomfortable letting them ride it on their own since it doesn\u2019t go too fast and it is really easy to learn.<\/p>\n<h3>Features of the E100<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>The kick-to-start function that means you have to kick the scooter to 2-3 mph before you can actually use the throttle helps reduce the risk of accidental take-offs<\/li>\n<li>Pneumatic 8\u201d tire at the front gives you some shock-reduction<\/li>\n<li>A small kickstand so that your kids can park easily without throwing it to the ground and damaging it<\/li>\n<li>Twist grip throttle that makes riding easier for kids<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Our review test data<\/h3>\n<p><strong><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-371 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/envyride.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/A-look-inside-razor-e100-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"An inside look of the razor e100\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/envyride.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/A-look-inside-razor-e100-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/envyride.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/A-look-inside-razor-e100-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/envyride.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/A-look-inside-razor-e100-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/envyride.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/A-look-inside-razor-e100-788x591.jpg 788w, https:\/\/envyride.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/A-look-inside-razor-e100.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Runtime<\/strong>: 38 minutes<\/p>\n<p><strong>Distance<\/strong>: 5.2 miles<\/p>\n<p><strong>Speed<\/strong>: 10 mph<\/p>\n<p><strong>Avg speed<\/strong>: 6.7 mph<\/p>\n<p><strong>Battery Consumption<\/strong>: 100% to 0%<\/p>\n<p><strong>Surface<\/strong>: Uneven roads with minor elevation<\/p>\n<h3>Last words of recommendation<\/h3>\n<p>So as I said before I wouldn\u2019t recommend the E100 to kids older than around 10-12 years as the speed and acceleration won\u2019t be thrilling enough for those older. For kids around 6-10 years it&#8217;s the perfect scoot in my opinion. Priced at an affordable price you get a lot of electric scooter for your money and there is always spare parts available for just a few bucks <a href=\"https:\/\/envyride.com\/razor-e200-e200s-vs-rx200-review\/\">thanks to Razor\u2019s<\/a> mass production of these scooters.<\/p>\n<p>Learning how to ride and master it is easy. The only downside is that it has a two lead acid batteries giving it a recharge time of around 8-12 hours which in kid-time is forever. So either go with a setup of two spare 12v batteries or get yourself some earplugs because there will be complaints.<\/p>\n<p><em>*Need a <a href=\"https:\/\/envyride.com\/razor-e100-model-comparison\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Razor scooter charger replacement for your e100<\/a>?
