Since it will be the correct version that matches your exact scooter model, it’s recommended you read through it, or at least scan it quickly, as otherwise, you might miss out on some important details. As we detailed back in December, Anker’s power station also comes supplemented with some add-on gear to help extend its battery life or just refuel away from home. Leaning into the off-grid nature, the dual 200W solar panel bundle kicks things off and is on sale for $2,599. This is down from its usual $3,099 going rate in order to deliver a new all-time low. Then for some extended runtime, the Anker PowerHouse 767 also comes packaged with one of the 760 Expansion Batteries for $2,699.
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. 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. He oversees all evergreen content and oversees the Homes, Smart Home, and Fitness/Wearables categories for the site.
I confirmed Lynn’s impressions that it was a noisy ride and not all that comfortable. In particular, the solid rear wheel, made from urethane, conveyed too much vibration from rough pavement to my legs. The E100 lacked much of anything beyond its brake, accelerator and kickstand. I looked in vain for a charge indicator or any kind of front or rear lights, which would make this scooter a little safer to ride in the evening.
Since the scooter has been around for many years now, and has seen a lot of updates and fixes over the releases, the last versions of it are very reliable and barely have any serious issues left. Also, the E200 features another Razor-specific feature, which is the reset button, located next to the power razor hoverboards button. Whether the scooter folds will depend on the specific version, as newer versions of the scooter should come with a folding mechanism. The scooter is well protected by lots of foam and bubble wrap. While the Razor E Prime Air certainly is pretty to look at, it does have its shortcomings.
I did like the rear brake lights, which are nicely integrated into the rear of the Icon’s frame. A small red LED display on the right handlebar shows your speed and battery life, and it has two buttons to turn the scooter on and off, and to activate its head and tail lights. Now, there is a regular E Prime model and then there is the E Prime Air. The difference is that the front wheel is a pneumatic air-filled tire. Generally, air tires are superior to the airless rubber ones.
These razor electric scooters are built for kids, so the makers expect rough use from the riders. Keeping this in mind, the manufacturers have invested in creating a sturdy steel frame body. Unless the e-scooter is dropped from a great height or run over by a truck, it’ll last for years. Razor scooters are some of the few chain-drive electric scooters available today (most electric scooters today have hub motors, integrated inside the wheels).
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.
For instance, both the frame and the downtube is designed from high-quality aluminum. Children, the target rider for the Razor E100 Glow, will likely overlook many of this scooter’s drawbacks when presented with its easy-riding fun. The lack of lighting could be remedied with bicycle lights, or parents may just want to make sunset the curfew for riding. As it doesn’t include razor hoverboards any sort of lock, and the structure of the scooter doesn’t present any good holes or anchors for a bicycle lock, the E100 is best kept close to home.

The basic scooter design consists of an airplane grade aluminum frame,[4] 98 mm polyurethane wheels, and a hinged fender over the rear wheel, which is pushed down by the foot to act as a spoon brake. The handlebar and headtube fold for carriage when a quick release latch is opened. At 26.5 pounds, the Razor Icon is the same weight as the Unagi Model One and GoTrax GXL V2. It’s about as light as you’re going to get without venturing into the best electric scooters for kids, but for smaller individuals. I was able to carry it up the steps of a train and through Penn Station without too much difficulty, though you’ll get an arm workout.
The actual deck itself is 5.5 inches wide which seems to be just about the soft spot for this particular product. Grandson loved it, he wants to ride it even when it’s cold outside. Also, he is 6 and it’s recommended for eight years old and up. If your child can ride a bicycle then he or she will do great on it. The lithium-ion battery packs in the self-balancing scooters/hoverboards can overheat, posing a risk of smoking, catching fire and/or exploding.
