Written by man on October 25th, 2009 in Other.
Scooters are well known and used today in cities. A lot of brands have wide scale of offers about their scooters… What are the Razor scooters?
Also known as push scooters or kick scooters, the Razor scooters were created by JDBUG at the end of the 20th century under the direct influence of a Swiss inventor, Wim Ouboter. Presently, Razor scooters are manufactured 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 consists of a hinged fender that presses on the rear wheel. Razor scooters are very easy to carry and store because of the possibility to fold the head-tube and the handlebar by simply releasing a latch. There are mainly four model variants available for Razor scooters: A, A2, A3 and Pro Model or A4. There are four more but they are rather basic in design as it is the case with the AW that has just a wheelie bar. A model like AW125 for instance has the best suitability for adult usage. The largest of the Razor scooters presently produced is the Cruiser Scooter with 140 mm wheels, but you should know from the very beginning that there are no replacement wheels for this model.
Free-styling is what Razor scooters are also famous for. 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 it has larger wheels and superior strength in the frame. 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.
Razor scooters are manufactured from airplane grade aluminum that is made to resist to bending even with an 1,100 pound weight. Besides the folding feature, Razor scooters are also very silent thanks to the material the wheels are made of. 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.
