With a 15 mph max and an LED screen to monitor speed, the Swagtron Swagger 8 was the most “grown up” scooter we tested. Our athletic and older testers preferred this electric scooter for older kids because it could go so much faster than the others. With a front plastic wheel, it’s a bumpier ride than the air tire of the E100, but its hub motor (vs razor electric scooter chain driven motor) is less likely to need maintenance. If your child is confident and athletic, you’re better off with a slightly faster scooter. Our daredevil 5-year-old girl would only ride the Swagtron SK1 in short bursts; her excitement level dwindled quickly because it was too slow for her (even though it was her first electric scooter).
If you’re less than the maximum load capacity, then give it a try. Twist the throttle to crank up the fun with the E300 S electric scooter and its removable padded seat and seat post. Twist the throttle to crank up the fun with the Razor E300 S electric scooter and its removable padded seat and seat post. The E300’s super-sized deck (66.6 x 20.4 cm) and frame are built to be comfortable and resistant. It features extra−wide pneumatic front and rear tyres to take the bite out of rough surfaces. The E300 features an all-steel frame and fork for durability and larger 9” (229 mm).
Even at that slower speed, if your child is not already a proficient (non-electric) scooter rider, we recommend having them practice with the SK-1 with an empty battery (no power) first. For kids who don’t know how to razor hoverboards ride a scooter at all, even 6 MPH can be intimidating. Safety Mode allows a parent to lower the maximum speed of the scooter, enabling them to keep younger or less coordinated kids safely riding and slower speeds.
Rubber pnuematic (air) wheels provide better traction than urethane wheels, and much better cushioning. The Razor E100 is the only kids electric scooter to even offer air tires anymore. While most electric scooters for kids have one or the other, a few of the higher-end scooters have both hand and foot brakes. Hand brakes tend to stop the scooter more quickly, while foot brakes can be used for a gradual slow down.
It has a bigger weight capacity of 220 lbs / 100 kg, and it can go as fast as 15 mph / 25 kmh, which is already a top speed suitable for an adult. The official top speed is almost what you can expect from the scooter in the real world, with either 11 mph or 12 mph being the actual speed limit. The scooter will easily reach those speeds unless the battery is less than half full or the rider’s weight is close to the weight limit. razor scooter The Razor E200 comes with a chain-drive motor with 200 Watts of power (which is how it gets the name), situated inside of the deck, with the chains attached to and moving the rear wheel. As a scooter with a rear-drive motor, the torque and the general performance of the scooter will be slightly better.
