CPSC, Razor USA Announce Recall of Electric Scooters

It has a bigger weight capacity of 220 lbs / 100 kg, and it can go as fast as 15 mph / 25 kmh, which is already a top speed suitable for an adult. The official top speed is almost what you can expect from the scooter in the real world, with either 11 mph or 12 mph being the actual speed limit. The scooter will easily reach those speeds unless the battery is less than half full or the rider’s weight is close to the weight limit. The Razor E200 comes with a chain-drive motor with 200 Watts of power (which is how it gets the name), situated inside of the deck, with the chains attached to and moving the rear wheel. As a scooter with a rear-drive motor, the torque and the general performance of the scooter will be slightly better. He oversees all evergreen content and oversees the Homes, Smart Home, and Fitness/Wearables categories for the site.

Designed for riders aged 13 and up and weighing up to 70 kg, the E200 matches its bigger size with its powerful, 200-watt, high-torque, single-speed, chain-driven motor to thrill older riders. All the power is now in your hands with the Razor Power Core S85 electric scooter. This electrified micro bike features a rigid, steel frame and 8” (200 mm) pneumatic front tyre tough enough for larger riders, too. The speed limit of the Razor E200 is set at around 12 mph / 19 kmh, which is ideal and not-at-all fast for young riders to feel safe on it.

The class action suit, representing owners of the affected Razor electric scooters, alleged that Razor failed to adequately warn consumers or recall the defective scooters. In doing so, the class action contended that Razor had violated various consumer protection laws. 90 days (for electric powered products) and 6 months/180-days (for non-electric powered products) from date of purchase. This Limited Warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, wheel, or any damage, failure or loss caused by improper assembly, maintenance, storage or mis-use. “The E100 has a solid build quality and feels like a stable and sturdy ride,” Lynn reported back.

I confirmed Lynn’s impressions that it was a noisy ride and not all that comfortable. In particular, the solid rear wheel, made from urethane, conveyed too much vibration from rough pavement to my legs. The E100 lacked much of anything beyond its brake, accelerator and kickstand. I looked in vain for a charge indicator or any kind of front or rear lights, which would make this scooter a little safer to ride in the evening.

These “max” speeds are the only speed on an electric scooter. With the push of a button, the Swagger 8’s maximum speed can be changed on the go. Unfortunately, a parent can’t lock a child out of a higher speed, so exercise caution if your child is younger. Compared to the Segway E10 which is similarly priced, the Razor A2 doesn’t offer as many features and isn’t as smooth a ride, but its handlebars allow kids to customize the fit just for them. I do hands-on-reviews of as many scooters as I can get so I can write fair, honest, and accurate assessments of each.

This set would normally run you $3,299 and is also at an all-time low. Just don’t forget to clip the on-page coupon for either of these offerings. Living razor electric scooter up to its status as Anker’s most full-featured power station so far, the new PowerHouse 767 arrives centered around a massive 2,048Wh internal battery.

A single, steady speed mode allows kids greater control over the scooter. But, some prefer multiple speed modes and are bored driving a single speed. Whether you plan to use the e-scooter for last-mile connectivity, to commute to school, university, or work, or ride around the neighbourhood; you’ll find a scooter that can do the job here.

Its long-range 36V lithium-ion battery will take you up to 15 miles on a single charge. Battery dropped over 20% in less than 3 minutes in an area where parking was not permitted. Haven’t reviewed all of my experiences, but it seem razor has let their scooter deteriorate the point the ride is not smooth and very poor. Customer service is very short and does not take the time to discuss your concerns.

With higher maximum speeds and higher handlebars, these electric scooters are best for kids who are developmentally ready to go faster and have a little more adventure on their scooter. The all-aluminum Razor Icon is like the DeLorean of electric scooters. Its shininess and lack of paint really makes it stand out from competing models. Razor sent me a version with orange wheels, hand grips and a big orange Razor logo on the deck — and I can say, if you’re going to buy one of these scooters, pick the boldest color you can find. However, its pristine look quickly becomes marred with dirt, as I found out.
