Dollar for dollar, this is the best adult/kid scooter around. This scooter will put your child light years ahead of their friends with the larger wheels that enable more smooth speed and better clearance over cracks, sticks and stones (that sometimes will break your bones). These same features also make it ideal for adults especially with the heavier weight allowance (220 lbs.) and higher adjustable handlebars. This is great for taking from your home to the train/bus and then from the train/bus to your place of business. It will work for you 9-5ers with your non-essential jobs and higher foot traffic on the sidewalks but it really works for those with non-rush hour jobs when the train/bus schedule is more sporadic. You can really zoom on the sidewalks and practice your slalom skills. Scooters will reduce your walk time and make it more fun.
My only annoyance is with the ends of the handlebars. Why is there a larger diameter plastic end cap. If you want a wider grip, this piece is uncomfortable.
I wrapped it with a couple layers of electrical tape and then covered the entire handlebar with tourna grip (blue tape) that tennis players use on their rackets.
It makes a huge difference with the feel and the wider grip is better for adult hands.
Thanks to NYCEwheels on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, I was able to demo the other more expensive adult scooters. The owner is great because I was able to ride each one and didn't even have to leave a deposit, or credit card or first born child. The Xootr (pronounced zooter) is the Rolls Royce of scooters. There was also the Micro which is almost identical to the Razor.
They also had a KickPed which was their own creation with wider hard rubber wheels.
These all have certain features which are nice like a front brake or smoother wheels, but when the starting price is $200, you have to justify the cost when you consider the Razor A5 Lux is $70 and a solid performer. Maybe you should start with the A5 and then when your child takes possesion of it, you can trade up to something else...that's if you even want to. The best scenario is for the adult in the family to get the A5 and then buy the A3 or Cruiser for your kids.
Razor makes good products and Amazon is the best place to purchase (sorry Walmart).
P.S. Besides the annoying larger diameter plastic end cap on the handlebars, I thought the A5 would benefit from another feature that I saw on the A2 and A3. These scooters employ a spring-less shock absorber above the front fork. If it works for them, why not use it on a higher price point model? I would appreciate a smoother and less jarring ride. If it was offered as an upgrade, I would pay more for this addition. I contacted Razor customer support and got an answer that was shorter than my question. I know it's an engineering decision, but I'm not asking Razor to split the atom or send a man to Mars. Throw me a bone, a spring or a piece of rubber, anything but metal on metal contact.
It is compact, strong, and the wheels are big enough that you can easily move over brick sidewalks, curb cuts, and bumps in the road.
One should practice a little on a flat surface first and get used to the brake before any long hauls, but that is very easy anyway.
I am really happy to have this and I use it to commute now, even in my suit and with a backpack.
***UPDATE***
I wrote this review October 25 and now I have had (and used) the scooter for about 3 and a half weeks.
Overall, I am still very pleased with my scooter. I ride it to work almost everyday and have clearly gained more and more confidence on it.
HOWEVER!!!
I no longer ride it during or after it has rained.
The wheels will not stick to the road if it is wet. Your ability to slow down or stop is also very seriously compromised (if not removed entirely). Attempting to make a turn on a slick surface will most likely land you either on your back side or at least no longer on the scooter as it will have slipped out from under you.
I have had no problems going down even serious hills and sharp turns, but in dry conditions only!!!
Also, do not ride when there are wet leaves on the road. You will slip and likely fall. You should have seen me on the way to work this morning! I tried to make a turn (the same turn I have no problem with when dry), going down a hill, on wet leaves. I was very lucky to stay on my feet!!!
A word to the wise.
This scooter is the perfect fit! Higher handlebars make it easy to hold on. And larger wheels give it a nice, smooth ride.
It folds up nicely to put in the trunk. And has a nice little kickstand to keep it up in the garage.
Love it! I recommend!
