"Awesome!"

I bought one of these at Toys'R'Us and have had so much fun. It hasn't had one problem and it's a lot faster and easier than walking. I know you may think that a kid's review doesn't matter but this product is targeted for our age group and I believe it's most important to know what we think of it. If you're planning on purchasing a Razor E200 and are having doubts, you shouldn't be. It really is amazing! 5 stars

"Scooter did not work."

When we received the scooter everything looked fine. However, after we put it together and charged the battery it would not run more than 30 seconds. We contacted Razor (paperwork which came with the scooter said to contact them with any problems)and they told us the entire battery/charging housing would need to be replaced. Razor would ship us new parts after we faxed them our receipt and we would assemble the parts on the scooter. When we mentioned that the scooter was brand new, never used, and that we thought it should be replaced they said "no, they would only send parts". We faxed the receipt a week ago and have not received parts or any email confirmation that they are on the way. 2 stars

"fun scooter"

I bought this for my 9 year-old daughter and she loves it. I was considering the E100 because of the age recommendations but decided to go with the E200 because of the weight capacity. I'm glad I did. My daughter can handle it just fine and I don't have to worry about an older child getting on it and breaking it. 5 stars

"Superb!"

Got this Razor as a gift for my son. He is 6 and loves to scooter. It was easy to put together and charged overnight. The scooter itself is easy to operate, and he loves riding all over with it. It has also been a big hit with the rest of the kids in the neighborhood, not to mention my husband. Also purchased the helmet to go with it, and unlike other helmets it's comfortable and my son doesn't mind putting it on. The only thing that we would have liked is if it came in different colors. 5 stars

"Does what it's paid to do..."

Nifty little scooter that zips you around to anywhere within a 2 mile radius and back again. Battery life last from 35 to 40 minutes with the speed dying down in the last 8 minutes or so. Ultra easy controls, brake on the left handle bar with throttle on the right. Very easy to ride, if you can stand up straight you've pretty much got it.

The only things that I didn't like about it is that the batteries cannot be changed without dissasembling the whole thing. It would have been nice to have the option of carrying extra batteries and swapping them to extend the range.

The instructions do not tell you where the tire inflation extender tube is. In fact it says that the extender tube is in the same bag as the instructions which is not true. I found it attached to a clever holder inside the rubber grip of the right handle bar.

Third point is that this scooter does not have anyplace where a locking system could be conveniently attached. I am currently wrapping a chain lock around the portion of the frame above the front tire and then to an anchor point. It should have been easy during the manufacturing process to create an anchoring point within or attached to the frame itself, unfortuneately this feature was not made.

I also found that when making right hand turns the plastic guard protecting the motor and chain assemlby tends to scrape the ground if you lean into the turn too much. Other than these annoying but minor problems I would recommend this scooter to anyone over the age of 12. Gets you where you want to go, is quiet, and best of all rechargeable. 4 stars
