Razor Scooter

By: Gregory Hepburn

The Razor scooter was designed and progressed by a mechanical engineer in China. His urgent need was for something small which could be driven around a large bicycle plant without spending too much time and energy in walking.

He centred his design on the easy mobility of children's kick scooters, and later improved it into a folding scooter manufactured around an aluminum frame, with polyurethane wheels, and a hinged fender over the rear wheel to act as a brake when pushed down. The handle bar folds when a catch is freed, allowing it to be easily carried and stored. It can carry heavy loads without loosing it's shape. Some users may decide to modify their scooters to strengthen the frame.

After the successful development of his scooter he began to sell it to the public. It was an immediate success with customers waiting for up to six months for their orders to be fulfilled. Overseas, the Razor Scooter became very popular in Japan in the 1990s, resulting in the company's choice to introduce it in the US also where it became an immediate hit.

In the USA, the smaller makes for children are sold in kit form. They are easy to assemble and the battery can be charged overnight. It is thought to be a clever little machine that takes the kids around a two mile radius and back. The battery is generally good for approximately forty minutes. It travels at a speed of approximately ten miles an hour. The controls are easy to use with the brake on the left and the throttle on the right side of the handle bar. Children generally find that it is very easy to ride.

In 2004, Razor announced the A4 also known as the Pro Model. Since 2000, Razor scooters have seen a bit of a decline in their popularity, but are still obtainable everywhere. Since the release of the original scooter, Razor has continued its research and development activities and has released a number of electric scooters as well as many other motorized vehicles and toys.
