Scooter A6 Model Kick Scooter | Classic Manual Standup | 254mm Wheels; Fastest, Smoothest Ride; Convenient Folding Mechanism | Iconic Wheeled Ride-On For Kids Age 8+

I live only a mile or two from my workplace but have been driving my car back and forth recently because I have to come home on my 30-40 min lunch break to walk my dog. I used to love walking or biking to work before I got my dog, but my bike broke down and when I looked into getting a new bike, a good quality one seemed so expensive, like close to $1000!!. Plus I would get sweaty biking to work, struggling up small hills, and could never wear skirts if I was biking. I hated using my car for 2 round trips a day for such a short distance, so I researched "adult" scooters and this one seemed like the best! It was SO easy to "unbox" and assemble, I would almost say no real assembly required, it was so minimal, basically just unfold and snap into place! My main fears/concerns before purchasing the scooter were 1) How fast could I really go and at what effort/sweatiness level would that require?/How would it compare to biking or walking for effort level vs. speed/efficiency? 2) How manuverable would it be on sidewalks and around turns for me as a total newbie? 3) How safely could I brake and slow down with the rear fender brake, esp since there are a few moderate hills on my route? I will say this, all my concerns/fears are at ease after trying it out!! I do think it is important to wear sturdy shoes. If you are commuting (I hate to say scoomuting) to work, it would prob be best to wear tennis shoes on the scooter and change into you work shoes once you get there unless you can wear relatively sturdy shoes to work anyway. 1) On my route with a few small up and down hills, I found it very easy to make the trip in a faster pace than prob even biking, and it's very easy to coast at a relatively high speed without continually kicking as long as you're not going up a slope. Up a slight slope you're going to be kicking more. Flat or down a slight hill it's effortless and you glide! I have a few sections of short but slightly steeper uphill, and for those I just walk the scooter cause it's easier and less effort. 2) For manuerverability, I would say it is very easy to turn and feel safe about it, even for me just starting out. Dips in sidewalks between driveways, bumps in asphalt, just be a little careful til you get the feel for it, but it was very able to handle the bumps with the large wheels! 3) Lastly, the braking... for sure you cannot stop this thing as quickly as you could a bike with hand brakes, that is for sure. For me it was easy to go down a relatively steep neighborhood downhill and just hold the rear fender brake down to slow my speed (though it could not actually stop the scooter's momentum), and then just step off when I needed to because in my case it was a stop sign and turn at the bottom of the hill. In an "emergency braking" situation like a squirrel runs into your path, it's gonna be harder to stop short quickly, but for your own safety the good news is that it's very easy to slow your speed by tapping/planting your free foot on the ground repeatedly, and/or just hop off the scooter. It felt very safe to me even on downhills or in situations where the brake didn't feel effective enough, just to tap/plant my foot to help brake and slow the speed quickly. I think if anything, since it's not an electric scooter, you will prob never be in a position where you can't just stop or slow your speed under your own power once you realize that you can use your free foot to slow down or hop off (and therefore quickly come to a stop). Overall, I feel very safe and comfortable riding this scooter, and for my situation it seems like a better non-car commuter option than a bike, unless you already like biking for longer distances.

Our family has five large kick-scooters that we've been using for school runs/commuting (1.5 miles one way) for the past 2 years. We have the razor a6, razor a5, and Skidee X3M in our collection. This review provides a summary of our experiences and broader research on kick scooters for adults and children. <strong>Part 1: Broader introduction to kick scooters.</strong> This section summarizes my overall impression/experiences with different types of kick scooters on the market. Skip to Part 2 for details of the razor a6 Larger wheels mean faster/smoother rides. Polyurethane (plastic) wheels are faster and require less maintenance, and inflated tires are slower, smoother, and have more reliable traction on wet pavement. It is risky to use polyurethane wheels in wet conditions! Shocks make for a smoother ride, but actually wheel size is probably the most important thing still. There are two main drawbacks of having shocks on a scooter: (1) to allow the deck to bounce without scraping the ground, the deck height is set higher - it is more work (or better exercise) to use, especially at low speeds, and (2) shocks have moving parts, and moving parts can break (more on this in part 2). Brakes matter. Polyurethane wheels do not get very good traction on a metal brake - kick scooter brakes will help you slow down, they are not for stopping on command. When you break, it dumps a lot of heat into the break - a heavy break will help dissipate that heat so you don't melt your shoes. There are many different kick scooters on the market that all look very similar. I suspect (but do not know) that they are all basically relying on the same set of manufacturers for key components, and the rest is branding. You will probably get more responsive customer service from established brands. <strong>Part 2: Specific review of the Razor A6.<\strong> This section summarizes specific details/experiences with A6 scooter in particular I've had this scooter for a bit over one year. I crashed on this scooter my first time taking it out. I took a corner on wet sidewalk, nothing crazy, and wiped out! I learned to be a bit more careful and this has never happened again. I had better traction with other kick scooters, but in general I recommend not riding any polyurethane wheeled scooter on wet pavement. The brake on the razor a6 is not very responsive, in my opinion, and it is relatively thin so it's not very effective for heat dissipation when breaking - the brake gets HOT, like REALLY HOT. Move your shoe around when braking so you don't melt the sole, I guess. The scooter is probably a bit unwieldy for kids under 7. Ages 8+ can probably handle it just fine, but again be mindful that this scooter (and probably others with the same polyurethane type wheels) have poor traction on wet pavement. The wheels are large enough that I don't miss having shocks - the ride is pretty smooth overall. In the year that I've had it, I've had zero issues with maintenance. It runs like new, never even had to tighten a screw. Similar experience with the razor a5. The non-branded scooters require regular maintenance (e.g. tightening screws) and one even had the shock mechanism completely snap. I would highly recommend razor scooters over any other brand if you are putting in 500+ miles per year.

If you grew up knowing the regular kids razor scooters, this is the grown up version on steroids. Same sturdy aluminum frame but fitted for an adult. The adjustable handle stem works well for me (6ft tall). Wish the foot panel was a little wider. it’s still doable but definitely not very comfy for longer periods of time. When riding the traditional one foot, i wish this came with the wheelie bar so you have a place to rest your off foot. Braking is pressing down on the rear fender, but you’’re better off braking by dragging your foot. The wheels are the shining star of this scooter, large 10” wheels that roll like butter, not only does the wheel have two bearings, but the front fork also has two bearings which makes this scooter roll smooth and fast. The locking mechanism that folds the scooter twists down for securement, which helps prevent rattling and vibrations. All in all very pleased with this scooter. My daughter doesn’t grasp peddling a bike yet but does enjoy scootering. This allows me to have rides with her. Last but not least Razor customer support has been superb. Communication via email is speedy and they resolved my issues and honored their warranty without hassle.

We were looking for a scooter for an individual who is roughly 5’3” (adult size). This scooter truly is meant for larger kids or adults. The wheels are larger in size, handlebars go high enough; this is the larger size scooter we were looking for. If you are looking for a scooter that will fit a smaller adult or larger kid, highly recommend this scooter.

I had a Razor DLX for almost 4 years until the wheels started to get blunt from use. I really liked the DLX but didnt want to spend too addl money on authentic Razor replacement wheels. Got an open box (new) Razor A6) for a decent price. I thought the 10" wheels would give me an additional 1 foot of travel with every revolution, at the expense of some portability (A6 is 1.5 pounds heavier than DLX, and I'm a 5'7" 130 pound guy). Overall, I am happy with the A6 purchase and now have a new A6 and an old DLX as backup. When folded, the A6 takes up a bit more space. I can feel the extra 1.5 pounds. And it doesnt stand in place as well as the DLX when folded although on hard flat surfaces, it is a decent stander. Ride-wise, I havent timed myself but it might go a bit faster. Maybe better bearings and bigger wheels are the reason. But admittedly, I can't really say it is much faster especially since I dont dare to go downhill too fast in Queens, New York City. I use the scooter for 3.5 mile trips to the USTA tennis center and there are some hills and I usually walk those hills (trip each way about 26 min). The wheels dont seem to handle my terrain too differently but I have more confidence on bumps and sidewalk gradient changes. One gripe about my A6 was that I noticed the front wheel had some warped section that, when spun, seemed uneven (it wasn't because of the tightness at the spoke-hub). I then swapped the front and back wheels so that I wouldnt have to see the wobble effect of the front wheel when riding, and now it's out of sight. I didnt bother to contact Razor for a replacement wheel because it was an open box purchase and because the warpness was minor and likely didnt affect the ride. The brakes on the A6 have more gap between the friction area and the wheel compared to the DLX, so it took some time to get adjusted to it and after a few days of riding the new A6, I admit I feel that the DLX gives me more confidence in its breaking compared to the A6.

I recently purchased an A6 Razor scooter and I have to say, I have been thoroughly enjoying riding it. It has been years since I last rode a scooter, but this purchase was well worth the price. I weigh 230lbs and The smooth gliding and effortless maneuverability of the scooter make it a joy to ride. I have been taking it to the park and it has been a hit with everyone. The sturdy construction and sleek design make it a standout scooter and I have received many compliments on it. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my A6 Razor scooter. it's nice to see heads turning at the park when I ride by! The only complaint I have is that the double locking mechanism at the neck of the handling shaft keeps coming loose, every now and then I hand tighten it but it comes loose over time with the vibration so if I tighten it down to hard then it'll stiffen my steering! so I'll have to reduce what could have been a 5 star to a 4 star.

I got this because I thought it would be funny to scooter into the office a coupke times, but I'm kind of taken aback at how good scooters have become. The giant wheels are really really effective, and the size of the frame accomodates a 215 lb, 6'3" man surprisingly well. My only complaint is that it's a little xlunky to fold up, the mechanism for the fold is a little janky and it's not great to walk through a grocery store or whatever with a big carryalong object of that size. But on the sidewalk, on the road, performs far above my expectations, great product. Just a bit bulky.

It's great! I'm a male 5' 8" at 190 lbs. Supports me just fine. Easy to kick push. Great coasting distance on level ground. Plenty of room for both feet. I use for commuting into Philadelphia. Fits compactly in front of me on subway train. Easy to unfold and fold. Is light to carry. I recommend!

Just received it. Looks as good as expected. Easy to fold and looks solid. Have bought Micro, Globber and a local brand and this is better than Globber as it is easy to fold. Yet to try and see the rider experience

Great Scooter for Both Kids and Adults I purchased the Razor A6 to ride around the neighborhood with my kids, and it has exceeded my expectations. One of the first things I noticed was how sturdy and well-built it feels. Unlike many scooters that seem designed only for children, the A6 easily supports an adult rider and feels solid and stable even on longer rides. The adjustable handlebar height is a huge plus, especially for taller riders. I was able to find a comfortable riding position without feeling hunched over. The kickstand is another feature I didn’t think I’d appreciate as much as I do—it makes parking the scooter quick and convenient. The large wheels do an excellent job of smoothing out cracks, bumps, and uneven pavement, making rides much more comfortable than smaller-wheeled scooters. I was also pleasantly surprised by how quiet it is while riding. Before purchasing, I had read a few reviews mentioning brake issues, but after spending many hours riding with my kids, I haven’t experienced any problems at all. The brake has performed exactly as expected. Overall, if you’re looking for a scooter that’s durable enough for adults, comfortable to ride, and fun for the whole family, I would definitely recommend the Razor A6.

Excelente producto, pagas más que por una marca genérica, pero vale la pena, la calidad de los materiales, el ensamblado, todo bien...va a durar mucho tiempo.

Great scooter for an adult, strong and a lot of fun!

Excelente para mí lo único vulnerable la lámina que frena es muy débil y se deforma rosando con la rueda todo el tiempo genera fricción y desgaste , y es estable pero si trae cierto juego al subirse en el manubrio respecto ala habilidad de desplegarse ...
