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 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).
These “max” speeds are the only speed on an electric scooter. With the push of a button, the Swagger 8’s maximum speed can be changed on the go. Unfortunately, a parent can’t lock a child out of a higher speed, so exercise caution if your child is younger. Compared to the Segway E10 razor scooter which is similarly priced, the Razor A2 doesn’t offer as many features and isn’t as smooth a ride, but its handlebars allow kids to customize the fit just for them. I do hands-on-reviews of as many scooters as I can get so I can write fair, honest, and accurate assessments of each.
The class action suit, representing owners of the affected razor scooters, alleged that Razor failed to adequately warn consumers or recall the defective scooters. In doing so, the class action contended that Razor had violated various consumer protection laws. 90 days (for electric powered products) and 6 months/180-days (for non-electric powered products) from date of purchase. This Limited Warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, wheel, or any damage, failure or loss caused by improper assembly, maintenance, storage or mis-use. “The E100 has a solid build quality and feels like a stable and sturdy ride,” Lynn reported back.
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).
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.
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.
