Review on Review of the Razor A6 Scooter: Unleashing the Ultimate Riding Experience! by Matthew Bahri

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Cheap and Dangerous

Things I like: - It's relatively fast - Big wheels handle disturbances more easily than smaller wheels - Vibrates less than older Razor products (mostly, if not entirely, I mean the steering wheel) things I don't like: - The adjustment design of their anti-rattle folding hinge (at the toe on deck) is not up to date. The threads of the adjustment screw (the smaller hex screw that presses against the base) are regular (not reversed). ), so tightening the plastic knob will loosen that screw (because they're on opposite sides). You may not notice it at first, but once the thread lock is free from riding vibration you will find that there is a new, lower maximum limit you can tighten it to. Adding more threadlockers helps, but I find it annoying. If you tighten it to a point where it no longer rattles, you may find that the latch (by pushing the aforementioned plastic knob up to mount/dismount the scooter) does not work. fully committed. As a result, the scooter collapsed while my girlfriend was driving (!). So, live with the rumble or risk it crashing mid-ride. I chose the first. The steering column still has the same design as on bikes abandoned over 20 years ago: an adjusting nut and a lock nut. So, customization is possible, but iterative and tedious. The bearings in it are insanely cheap, and tightening the steering column without play (don't overtighten, notable differentiation), as it should, makes the scooter uncontrollable. So either live with the bearing clearance (and rattle accordingly) or don't buy it. I chose the first. The wheels are incredibly out of round vertically. It's been like this since it was new. This is only noticeable when driving on slippery surfaces, but it is uncomfortable for me. Braking in the rain is virtually non-existent, and braking downhill requires a visit to the hospital. Braking on longer or steeper inclines heats up the brakes to the point where I can feel it through my shoes. If it happens in the middle of a hill what will you do? switch legs? Hope? I bought it because I live in the center of a big city and it's faster than walking, safer than cycling and harder to steal than a bike because it rides with me inside. But in light of all things and in light of my experience I now prefer to walk downtown. I will try to return it if possible. We need better solutions, not just big wheels and disc brakes.

Pros
  • Absolutely Amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
