The scooter is able to reach a top speed of 15 miles per hour. This is fairly decent with pricing considered although it by no means is the fastest on the market. The Razor E Prime Air is a new electric scooter from one of the most reputable companies in the field.
Each of the three new models the company is unveiling today have a top speed of only 15.5 mph, assuming a max load of 220lbs. That’s because Razor doesn’t want to sell you speed; it wants to sell you a scooter — period. That means slapping a price tag on them that wouldn’t make most razor scooter customers look twice. The 250-watt lithium-ion battery pack powers this scooter at speeds up to 15.5 mph with an 18-mile range on a single charge. Commuters and travelers enjoy the pedestrian, cruising and sport modes as well as the LED headlight and brake-activated taillight.
In comparison, the MegaWheels S5 offers up to 13 miles on a charge while being notably cheaper. There is an opening to lock this scooter with a bicycle lock or chain, though I did not feel comfortable locking this up in a public place to test it out. Well, there’s the slight difference in top speed – ranging from 16 kph (10 mph) for the E90, to 19.3 kph (12 mph) for the E200. But the performance isn’t revolutionary and it doesn’t really offer anything you can’t get in another scooter, outside of the awesome design. So if nostalgia is high on your list, the Razor Icon probably should be too.
When the battery indicators were red, the scooter topped out at 12 MPH. The E Prime III has a 5-stage LED battery indicator; at full charge, three lights are blue, one is orange, and one is red. A nightly charge was absolutely necessary when I was using it daily.
Riding these e-scooters is comfortable, allowing smooth cruising on flat surfaces. But if you’re looking for high speeds, these aren’t the scooters for you. The motor and battery are designed for decent speed and range, but they are by no means fast. The chain-driven motor in Razor E100 Glow offers a maximum distance of 8.3 km (5.2 miles) and a top speed of 16 kph (10 mph). The two 12V batteries and High-torque, ultra-quiet chain-driven motor guarantees a top speed of 19.3 kph (12 mph) and a maximum distance of km (9-10 miles).
As it doesn’t include 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. I do not like that they use lead-acid batteries as they have a far lengthier recharge time than lithiums and are much heavier. The recharge time is 8-12 hours and I recommend you to get a pack of extra batteries ( 2 x 12v). Otherwise, you better cover your ears because there will be complaints from your kids. Razor recommends this model for kids over 13 years old, but like most scooters, there is some wiggle room as it is up to the parents to decide if their child can handle it. Some parents don’t mind if their child is a bit small for the scooter, letting them grow into it as they get taller.
Segway’s Ninebot Kickscooter ES1L, for example, costs $489 and has a top speed of 12MPH. The handlebars attach to the frame with a clamp that requires two screws, and an allen wrench to tighten them is included. You’ll also need to connect two wires for the accelerator and brake, a process that was extremely intuitive. All together, it took me under 5 minutes to assemble the scooter.
Keep in mind, you’ll want to make sure the tire is filled up to 50 PSI before using it. I did this each time I rode, for the sake of accurate testing. Electric Scooters are eco-friendly and versatile choice for any number of riding requirements. They are best described as two or three wheeled electric-powered scooters commonly used by teens, active adults and kids. They are perfect for meeting short-distance transportation needs, like running errands or getting to work or school. The E200 is also for slightly older users – for kids that are 13 and older.
