CPSC, Razor USA Announce Recall of Electric Scooters

/ Sign up for Verge Deals to get deals on products we’ve tested sent to your inbox daily. Our unanimous verdict is that all three s – Power Core E90, E100 Glow, and E200, perform remarkably well. Each scooter comes with its unique features, strengths, and weaknesses. We’ve narrowed down the list to three top-rated Razor Electric Scooters – the Razor Power Core E90, the Razor E100 Glow, and the Razor E200.

Here’s where deciding whether to buy the E Prime III gets tricky. If you’re looking for a scooter to use on a long commute, this is not it. If you want to go fast for long periods of time, this is also not it. Now, if you’re still reading this after hearing that, here are a few more specifics about the battery. Razor’s E Prime III is a perfect entry level electric scooter for adults.

The rest of the scooter is nearly a dead ringer for the original one, except for all of the electric updates. Check out my testing video below to see the Razor Icon in all its orange glory (though other bright colors are also available).

The battery dropped down to its last red light about 3 minutes before I arrived home. I decided to continue riding until battery depletion, so I went on a mile round-trip to the post office. The battery was completely drained by the time I got home. I used the opportunity to test the E Prime III out as a regular kick scooter.

The company launched Thursday a new seated electric scooter that is designed to carry cargo, or if you like, another passenger on the back. There is a slight variation in the speed and distance between the three e-scooters. The Razor Power Core E90 electric scooter is fitted with Power Core hub motor (hence its name), which is better than the chain-driven motor in the other two.

The first time I stepped on an electric scooter was in Santa Monica in 2018. It was a Bird, and like many folks, riding it was my first experience riding an electric scooter of any kind. The first being that you’ll need to mind the elements–wind and hilly terrain in particular.

The two sealed lead-acid batteries provide up to 40 minutes of continuous use and have a quick recharge time. The super-sized frame and deck are mounted on 9-inch pneumatic rubber tires, the 250-watt motor propels it at speeds up to 15 mph and the hand operated rear brake brings it to a safe stop. Our fun stand up electric scooters provide a thrilling alternative to standard scooters and bikes.

We’ve gotten this machine up to 18mph and faster, far faster than we’ve ever really needed to go on an average day – or between charges. Charging from zero to full is not fast – you’ll be waiting around 6 hours for that whole process. If you’re driving uphill on grass, you’ll be able to run the battery out under an hour.

Our mission is to empower you to find the product you’re looking for and get exactly the information you need to make the right buying decision. That being said, the overall support from Razor is great. There is plenty of safety information on their website and they can be reached on phone and email on all weekdays.

All of our products are sourced in the US and we take pride in having the fastest shipping in the industry. The Icon got me around pretty easily, both in my neighborhood and up and down the avenues in New York City. It has a nice, smooth pickup, and its motor was strong enough to get me up my test hill (and its 6% grade) at around 5-6 MPH. That’s on the slow side, but typical for a motor with this output. On level terrain, I was able to easily hit the scooter’s max speed of 18 MPH. The Razor Icon is its aptly named successor, adding a motor but keeping the same overall look.
