E-Scooters - Always Go For the Original. Saves Money and Nerves.

The Razor scooter has come a long way. From just the US version of the first commercial scooter, Switzerland's Micro, it has evolved into more than just a toy, with a variety of models to choose from. It ranges from the traditional kick scooters to electric and gas-powered.

 The company, Razor USA was founded in June 2000 and is based in Cerritos, California. It holds the local and international rights to the Razor brand. Razor is synonymous with scooters.

 The electric scooters are equipped with larger decks, tires and frames to accommodate adult riders. They use extra quiet chain driven motors and are environmentally friendly as they have very little emission levels. More so, using these scooters translate to big savings on gas.

 Reviews say that the reasons why the Razor scooter is so popular are because they are capable of reaching high speeds and they have that patented braking system that lets you stop by just stepping on the rear fender. For adult riders, they are not just for the thrill and fun of riding on a scooter but more so for its practical usage as a cost-effective means of transportation. Albeit it is not for long distances, it will still easily take you to places where walking might have been a tiring option.

 Suffice it to say, the Razor scooter is here to stay.
