Razor 13113614 E300 Electric Scooter - Matte Gray

I'm 160 lbs, I live in Boulder and use this to get to and from classes. The motor is quiet enough that I haven't been bothered by any authorities on campus. It makes it up the hills in Boulder just fine. All I hear while riding it are comments like "I need one of those". No problems thus far. Rode it in heavy rain and didn't find any issues, though things dry out quickly here since the humidity is pretty low most of the time. Haven't tested the range yet, though I easily went 5 miles (up and down hills) on one charge with no noticeable decrease in power. Now that I am convinced I received a good unit, I am going to pimp it out with a cup holder, rear view mirrors, horn, etc...Additional: I rode the scooter around in the flooding we have been experiencing in Boulder, took it through several puddles 3-5 inches deep, etc. The scooter is still functioning normally.Update: I have now replaced the batteries twice (it was my fault they died). My recommendations are: 1. make absolutely sure you always keep the scooter turned off when not in use, leaving it on will kill the batteries. 2. don't store the scooter in a garage because low temps kill the battery. 3. the batteries are not like the ones in your cell phone, ie you don't want to completely drain and then recharge the battery, doing so will kill the battery. The less you drain the battery each cycle, and the less time the scooter spends with a depleted charge, the better and longer the batteries will perform. 4. If the scooter seems sluggish, check the brake line tension, I loosened mine, and I saw a dramatic increase in speed and stamina.Update (Feb 2017): I have now put well over 1,000 miles on this scooter. I recently had to replace the tube of the rear tire, which was a decent sized project, but took the opportunity to clean and lube everything. The scooter is now running like new again, or even better than new. If you take care of this scooter, it will run like a champ for a very long time.

This is a great little scooter, the kids love it and it's powerful enough for me to ride on it (around 200 lbs.).But, I really wanted to post feedback for Amazon an how they handled this order. This was a Christmas present for my son. It arrived about a week before Christmas in a torn box with scratches all over the exposed part of the scooter. I called Amazon and they took care of the situation far above my expectations. I was expecting a hassle to not only return it, but to also get a new one in time for Christmas. I had a new replacement scooter in time for Christmas (actually just 2 days later). The box looked great, so I figured no issues.However, when I was ready to put it under the tree on Christmas eve, the rear tire would not hold air and one of the screws on the deck was put in wrong (at an angle) to where it barely covered the corner of the plate on the deck, so it was only a matter of time before the deck would come lose at that location. So, I contacted Amazon again today (day after Christmas) and they took care of me in the same way they did the first time. I should have a replacement scooter in a few days.I was reluctant to purchase this online in case something like this happened. Normally I would have taken it back to the store for a replacement, but was afraid it would be a major pain to deal with this when I don't have a store to bring it back to. But, Amazon did a wonderful job handling the issues, both representatives I worked with were extremely helpful and pleasant to work with. Most likely the first issue was UPS's fault and the 2nd issue was with Razor, but Amazon made it right for me.I buy nearly everything through Amazon, and this experience is a perfect example of why. Thanks again Amazon!!!

I bought this for my 8 year old daughter as her friend had one which she had ridden and got along fine (it is recommended for ages 13 and up). If your child has been on a scooter they should be able to ride this without any difficulty as it is easy to balance and maneuver. Our daughter can't wear it without her bike helmet and she only rides it around our neighborhood both on the street and on the sidewalks and is having a great time. It was super easy to assemble (less than 5 minutes). It is a bit heavy (I think about 45 pounds). The worst part was having to wait 12 hours initially for it to charge. We charge it every night as over the holiday weekend she drained it each day. You get a lot of ride time out of it. No adults have ridden it but it's nice to know you can if you are under 220 pounds. I was glad that the charger came with it is ready to go out of the box. This thing can really move so I wouldn't recommend it for young children unless they clearly understand the rules of the road and are responsible. She has cut through the grass a few times but I would recommend this for paved areas only. Her friend has an older version and I noticed those wheels are slightly larger and wider so they may handle dirt a bit better. They one thing to remind your child is that you are to turn it off when you finish riding it. I am not sure how big of a deal it is if you don't, but it was mentioned several times in the manual so it seems like a good thing to do. So you may want to remind your child of that.
