RazorE300S Seated Electric Scooter for Kids Ages 13+ - 9" Pneumatic Tires, Removable Seat, Up to 15 mph and 40 min of Ride Time, for Riders up to 220 lbs

I got this for my 110 lbs wife to ride to local gym and athletic park. It's a very fast little scooter for her, felt as though it was hitting speed of 18 mph for her body weight and took her by surprise at first. She's only 5'2" so she's already on her toes when seated, so keep that in mind if you are getting this for person under 5 feet, their feet won't reach the ground and it can get dangerously fast. The motor is not too noisy, the chain doesn't rattle like some reviewers had mentioned. The throttle is not adjustable, it's just one fast speed so be prepared for that jolt of power. Really wish the throttle had adjustable power, would like to cruise steady at a slower speed instead of the jerkiness of a one-speed throttle. I myself who weigh 168 lbs found this scooter to be quite a powerful little scooter and perfect for my size (I'm 5'8"). It can pull me up a slight slope but no major hill climbing (only for my petite wife, it can haul her) just doesn't have the power. My wife loves this scooter, prefers electric over her old smokey 2- stroke engine from her teen years. There's no battery monitor so you need to keep track of your usage. It can cruise about 6-8 miles per 12-hour charge depending on your weight. This scooter is so slim and compact that we can lock it next to her car in her carport, plenty of space for her to still get in her car. We bought it for $209 for gray, got a basket $23 and Valet My Stick lock for $20. Small investment for us to go green in our neighborhood, very happy with our purchase.

This is an excellent scooter! We bought it for our niece on her 13th birthday and she loved it! Of course we tested it out prior to giving it to her since we had to put it together anyways and it worked well. It was funny watching my wife ride it around the block with the neighborhood kids following her. I think she wants one now so we may order another one. This rides at the perfect speed. We were actually surprised how much power it had! It doesn't go crazy fast though so we felt comfortable giving it to our niece. It's just enough to have fun but not worry that someone is going to get hurt.The brakes are good too. It stops well but not terribly fast to that you do not get thrown off the scooter.The seat comes off if you want it to.Its easy to detach. I can tell that this scooter is made of a good quality. It weighs about 70lbs. Overall I'm very happy with this purchase and will probably be buying another one soon!

BuildVery sturdy. Tires came filled.Built time30 minutes. The manual didn't make it obvious which direction the seat goes. I looked at a picture online to figure that out. The rest was intuitive. Came with the necessary Allen wrench to connect the steering column. It did not come with a screw driver for installing the seat post.Initial charge timeI rode it 1 minute, then charged it while installing the seat. The battery was charged before I figured that out, so it came charged I guess.Ride ExperienceThe throttle needs work. It turns about 20 degrees before it tells the motor to run. After that, you can probably rotate another 5 degrees to feel like it is fully engaged. I can't rotate beyond the 25 degrees or so. It is easy to bump from accelerating to not accelerating which is more like automatic deceleration unless you are going downhill. So if you don't want to go full speed all the time (to conserve power), you have to go full speed 3/4 of the time and for the rest of the time use zero acceleration (which is really deceleration). It results in a very stop-and-go experience. Also, because the acceleration is not variable, it results in a jerk every time. I don't think I can feel confident putting one of my kids on my lap to ride around the block, although I let them stand on it to go around...My last 3/4 mile was super slow. I was assisting it by kicking. I think it is higher than a normal scooter. I ended up hitting my ankle against a nut or the kickstand. I am bleeding now. I don't advise kick-assisting this once it is basically dead.ComfortThe seat is not a bike seat and the seat mount is not typical for a bike, so I can't upgrade that component even though it is uncomfortable for me. I am 5 for 3 inches tall, in case that helps you. I have to learn to deal with the seat, stand on a jerky platform, or return it.My wife said she was fine with the seat. But for a seat to work, I expect "This seat is awesome." Anything less and it isn't worth it when you can just stand and go farther by removing the weight of the seat apparatus.Max SpeedIt goes pretty fast for an inexpensive scooter. I felt like I never reached a top speed going downhill. I reached stop signs before I could feel it stop accelerating downhill. Going uphill, it feels like you don't accelerate.RangeI went 4.7 miles. Half the time I weighed 185 with a kid standing on it with me. The hills here are what I would think a flat city would have.Hill AscensionIt is gutless on steep hills, even if they are short unless you have momentum. For example, it has trouble going 10 feet on my driveway that raises 1 foot in the first 5 feet.ConclusionThis is not what I was hoping for in the medium-high end Razor model.Unless you can't get onto a bike, I'd advise getting a decent $800+ electric bike. It is going to last longer, go farther, be stronger, and transform your travel experiences (and pull larger loads) than this. I never had one, but I've tested one and it could take hills way better. The ride is smoother on a bike, too, due to wheel size and shocks I suppose. Or you can invest $300 in cryptocurrency and buy a motorcycle in a few years...
