Review on Razor A2 Kick Scooter Purple by Joz Lowe

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Rattle. LOT - skates, skateboards and scooters

Fits my daughter but is very noisy when riding. Rattles heavily (various aluminum folding parts) when driving. Nothing I can tighten is loose, it's just the way it is. Creates a slightly frustrating experience as the machines become more difficult to hear and speak to. Our neighbor has a chunky scooter from another brand and it's completely silent. Considering how small the scooter is I would advise people to buy a non-folding scooter unless they really need a folding one as it's likely to be quieter. Also, my parents have an old Razor scooter they bought at a tag sale years ago and it seems to be a MUCH stronger build. It's "Razor Extreme" though, so it's probably not a good direct comparison to it. The aluminum on this scooter is significantly thicker (I'd say five times or more, just by eyeballs) than on this scooter, and while it's collapsible, it doesn't rattle like this new one. The floor is an open hollow aluminum box (no box) with vertical support brackets (perpendicular to the foot platform part). Everything is made of thick aluminum. This scooter works great and seems sturdy enough for my young daughter, but the very loud rumble even on slightly bumpy roads puts me off a lot (and even her - she was really looking forward to a two wheel scooter after exceeding the weight limit of her three wheel scooter at 45 pounds - and that rumble makes it less fun).

Pros
  • Quality aluminum construction, light but strong
Cons
  • Unfashionable model
