Razor Scooters
The popular name of Razor scooters is kick scooters or push scooters, and they follow the tradition of Wim Ouboter, the Swiss who inspired JDBUG to create the first Razor. At present, Razor scooters are produced by Razor USA, the company is located in California and enjoys great sales for the moment. The design of the Razor scooters has become some kind of standard image for kick scooters all over the world: they are made of an aluminum frame that also allows folding, they have two small polyurethane wheels and a platform for the feet.
The brake has all the simplicity of a hinged fender that is pushed down over the rear wheel. Easy to carry and store, Razor scooters can be folded and taken on the bus, on the underground or even in the trunk of the car. There are mainly four model variants available for Razor scooters: A, A2, A3 and A4 or the Pro Model. There are four other versions but they are simpler in design or incorporate a special feature besides the standard. Another model AW125 has an extended deck, being suitable for adult use. On the other hand, bigger-sized Razor scooters are part of the Cruiser Scooter category, but their 140mm wheels cannot be replaced in a regular service.
Razor scooters have made a big name in free-style. More and more people start using the scooter in daring sports that allow one to have fun and enjoy adrenalin. Razor scooters often undergo some form of reinforcements when they are intended for frees-style because the shock of high force impact cannot be otherwise absorbed. The A4 or Pro model is generally preferred for freestyle because of the stronger frame and the larger wheels. The other Razor scooters A, A2 and A3 include a manual bar in the rear part, but you can remove it if you don't like it.
The material that Razor scooters are made of is airplane grade aluminum, meant to support a 1,100 pound load without the risk of bending. All the foldable models are also very silent thanks to the special design and material of the wheels. All in all, the contribution of Razor Company to the development of new sports and pseudo-vehicles designed for urban areas is remarkable and needs to be acknowledged as such.
