"Huge difference between this and the other Razor scooter models"

I bought an A2 for my wife, and because she didn't want to ride by herself--and I'm bigger and heavier--I bought this Razor Pro thinking it was simply made sturdier and nothing more. I also happen to be an avid cyclist of many years so I can really tell the differences.

Turns out there are huge differences between this Pro model and the others--to the point where I could say the others are toys and this is actually sports equipment/transportation.

*The stability in steering is much better on this one.

*The wheels are thicker, which I'm sure contributes to its ability to hold a line better--though I have to say the A2 is not bad either.

*It's faster, and since the ride is a lot more stable it's actually much safer to ride this going fast than the others.

*I believe this is actually made of a higher quality of aluminium.

*Overall it's made of a heavier construction more appropriate for those who are going to do more on it than go back and forth on the sidewalk.

Bottom Line: For the price difference here on Amazon (the A2 being about $40 and the Pro being roughly $50) it's worth it to spend the extra $10 on the Pro.

This isn't just a toy like the others. You can actually enjoy the ease and convenience of riding this thing to the store and back, or through the middle of an urban environment adding to both your enjoyment and convenience without having to lock it up outside when you enter a building--or being prohibited from entering a store like you would with Roller Blades without changing to shoes first.

And as a 5'10" adult male, I can say this is a better fit--though the A2 isn't bad either in that respect.

"This is the scooter to get."

I am currently 15 and ride scooters all the time off jumps and have done a lot of crashes, spills, and wipe outs and this scooter still stayed together. On the other models they have not reinforced them enough and so i break them all the time i went thorough about 4 scooters and this one lasted me the longest. I have had it for about 9 months and it is still fine. I just need to buy new wheels and grips every once in a while which isn't a problem. 5 stars

"A fun way to spend time with kids!"

I remember when the Razor scooters first came out and I have this idea they were fairly pricey at the time. Well, they are very inexpensive now and if you weigh more than 143 lb you will need the Pro model. Everyone in our family has one and we happily scoot all over the neighborhood on weekends! 5 stars

"works well with heavy use, but be careful over cracks and bumps"

well designed for 'harsh' demand of usage. Intended more for adult and professionals, but I find it actually easier to maneuver than the other razors because of the beefier handles.

Regardless of which Razor you use, you need to pay particular attention while you go over bumps or cracks on the street---due to smaller wheels and no springs, it is very easy to tip over forward if the Razor runs across uneven surfaces.

If you have kids using this, you should definitedly get helmets and hands/knees paddings. 4 stars

"awesome scoot"

I'm 12 and scoot alot. I extreme scoot. Doubletailwhips, nothings,360's those type of things. And with A1's I always go through them in a second. They snap and everything. This scoot is sturdy and can hold 110 mm YAK wheels. Very durable, the fork and tube are reinforced and the grips rock. 5 stars
