A6

Edit to add: I had to put some WD-40 on the mechanism that moves to fold it because it was getting nearly impossible to fold up. Once I did that it started working better than when I first got it. I’ve had this for at least 3 years, maybe a little longer and it’s actually held up well. I’m a 30+ year old PhD student that found more value in a “kick push” scooter vs the electric ones everyone on campus enjoys but it has held up well over the years. It gets me from point A to B and back to A. When I first got it I didn’t live on campus to I parked my car kind of close and road it around campus the folded up to fit in my car’s trunk. I did this for at least a year and sometimes it was hard getting it to fold/unfold. Now I try to never fold it up if I don’t have to because it is super hard open back up. I also fallen on it a couple times but it’s because it never rains in SoCal until it actually does and I got caught in it a few times. Not pouring down rain either but now I just walk it if that’s the case. There is some wear and tear from use but overall I’m happy. I’m glad I don’t have to worry about blowing up tires because of the solid tires, too. I’ve added things for it to be safer at night for my late night classes like a light in the front and a lock that folds up and fits in a case affixed to the pole. I wish there was a way to put a red light on the back so people/cars can see you from behind but I suppose a reflector would do. They should consider adding as a standard feature for safety. I initially went with this one because I needed it for my weight, I was closer to 220 with a backpack of books/laptop but now I’ve lost 30ish pounds and it’s easier to maneuver. It’s just enough, not too much. And I don’t have to worry about theft like the e-scooter folks do but I either take it inside the building with me or lock it up on the bike rack. In hindsight I should have picked a different color too but it’s neutral and more that worth it IMO.

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.

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.

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.

My son was 15 and 6’2’ late last year and he long outgrew his last scooter. He wanted another scooter for his birthday and I was at a loss as to where I’d find another for his height without breaking the bank. After scouring the internet I found this one and it is perfect in every way. It’s been several months since he’s had it and he is not gentle with it but yet it holds up wonderfully.

I spent forever trying to find the right balance of quality and price on my first commuter scooter and settled on this one for the durability of the polyurethane wheels and the ease of carrying it around since it folds. If you’re looking for height/weight references, I am 5’7”/170cm and 210lbs/95kg. Shoe size is 8-9US women’s. —Portability— It’s perfectly light enough to carry around. My only complaint there is that I wish it was designed with a strap and maybe a post to hold the handles in place so they don’t swing around when removed from the steering column. —The ride— I don’t ride it on the street much, and it’s very smooth when I’m on my campus’s well-kept pavements, but if you’re riding it anywhere that’s remotely bumpy, expect to feel every crack you come across. My whole leg goes numb if I’m riding through an old parking lot because the bumpy asphalt vibrates the frame so much. —Design Quality— The wheels on the A6 have been great. I don’t have to worry about hitting a rock/getting caught on cracks since they’re pretty big and sturdy. Also, it hasn’t rained too often here but when it has, I’ve had no issues slipping when I’m careful. Carries my weight+my unreasonably heavy backpack, but my dad was going to test it out and he didn’t feel it could hold his weight (300lbs/136kg??). My shoe fits on the deck with a reasonable amount of space leftover. It should be tall enough for most, and I’ll also gladly take the lower deck height so I can spare my calves every time I squat to kick off the pavement. Don't worry, it’s still a workout, but at least I’ve been able make it up hills without having an asthma attack lol. One note on the brakes since I’ve seen some comments I disagree with: I like them. This scooter forces me to get used to braking well before I need to stop, because it’s built to control the speed by braking gradually. I think some people hear “brakes” and think it’s supposed to mean “emergency freeze in place button”. Unfortunately, if I were heading down a hill into traffic and I could stop the scooter instantly, I wouldn’t stop in place with the scooter. Sure the scooter might be fine on the edge of the sidewalk, but I’d still be flying straight over it into traffic with every bit of momentum leftover from rolling down the hill. Instant breaking or not, if I need to avoid running into something directly in front of me, stomping on the ground or bailing off to the side would probably be safer options in either situation. —Durability— The A6 has every useful feature I was looking for in the price range I wanted, but unfortunately the more moving parts you add to something, the more likely it is to malfunction. In this case it was the “anti-rattle” mechanism connected to the folding spring on the steering shaft. I keep this in the trunk of my car, and the first time I left it in there on a relatively cold night below 60F/16C (bought this in summer, so days were usually ~95F/~35C), the screw of the mechanism locked up entirely. I haven’t done anything crazy to try to fix it yet since it still folds/unfolds easily (and I don’t want to make it worse), but I do feel like the ride is slowed down a bit and a little louder because of this. —Tl;dr Overview— -Pros- +Good value for money +Still functioning as needed by the end of the first three months I’ve had it +Very light and portable +Large wheels=Durable, safer ride +Deck isn’t too tall despite the large wheels +Brakes are good enough to slow you down gradually w/o tossing you over the steering column +I think this should work for any height, mayyybe most shoe sizes +doesn’t lie about the weight limit -Cons- -“Anti-rattle” locked up/broke very quickly -broken anti-rattle causes the deck to sag fwd slightly, making it slightly louder/slower -handles flop around when removed from steering column Overall, I’d say buy this if you’re considering it and have similar needs to mine (folding/portable, lower price for the quality, mostly riding on pavement or verrry smooth asphalt, close to the weight limit). That’s it, have a nice day!

Okay. I pretty much bought the Razor A6 on a lark. I'm on a road trip, and I keep seeing little kids zooming around the campgrounds on their Razor scooters. I like to hike on trails, but I hate walking long distances on pavement, so I start thinking "I'm going to get me one of those." A little research later and I'm the proud owner of a brand new A6. Never owned or ridden any kind of scooter before. Never skateboarded or longboarded or rollerbladed either. I don't even like bicycles. But after just a few minutes on my Razor, I'm right at home. Fellow campers are complimenting me on how I handle it and I'm like "thanks, I just got it today!" So it's easy to learn, it turns heads, and it's an absolute hoot to ride, especially on smooth pavement with a tail wind or slight downhill grade. Steep downhill is scary (brake barely functions) and rough pavement makes the rider miserable (your leg is the shock absorber). Wet pavement is iffy (barely functional brake becomes non-functional). Forget about dirt and gravel surfaces, and watch out for the same scattered on pavement. Good way to wipe out. Haven't done that yet, but constant vigilance is required. All that being said, not only is this thing loads of fun, but it is in fact a highly practical way to get around large, paved, level areas. I didn't fully grasp the utility of the kick scooter until I used it to explore downtown Nashville. I traveled much, much faster than I would have on foot. When I wanted to duck into a shop or eatery, I just folded the Razor up and carried it with me. Sure, Nashville is lousy with pay-per-mile electric scooters, just like every other big city, but mine is free, it goes anywhere, I never have to charge it, and I get some exercise when I'm on it. Plus the Razor brand seems to have some caché with the youth. I got friendly words of recognition around town. When I was done, I folded up the scooter and stowed it in the back of my Volkswagen Golf. That's another area where this product shines: it is quite compact when folded. It fits nicely between my cooler and the car's hatch. I rubber band the handlebars together to keep them from flailing around, but otherwise it is well behaved when the car is in motion. Long story short, I expected a fun toy but got a surprisingly useful means of transportation... that is also fun. To all the other grown men and women out there: yes, they make these for us too, and, like me, you'll probably enjoy riding one. Go for it. EDIT 7/31/2024: Still going strong after two years of ownership. I wish this thing had an odometer... I must have ridden a couple hundred miles on it, though certainly less than a thousand. The wheels are starting to flatten out from wear, particularly the back wheel, but the performance impact is still minimal. Bearings are still good. Adding some more glamour shots, some including the Ascher LED headlight I got for it. That's been a useful upgrade.

In August, my car started developing a few major problems that would have costed thousands in repairs, and it wouldn't have been worth it to fix them. I needed to find alternate transportation to work. I bought a bike from Walmart and tried riding it a few times. The routes that I would have to take with a bike resulted in being a very strenuous ride. I ended up returning the bike. I have a small child size razor scooter that I took a few times, allowing me to take shortcuts and easily foldable for parts where I would need to walk. Got made fun of a few times using the small one so I looked into getting a better scooter for my size. I bought this scooter and am really happy with how it performs and I'm not hunching over to grab onto the Handles. The bigger wheels definitely give a smoother ride over the small wheels on the child scooter. Most of my commutes are in the morning and it's dark, so I just added a bike flashlight on the Handles and a red "brake light" bike light on the back of my backpack. My only gripe is the folding mechanism isn't as simple as the child scooter where you just push down on the lever and it folds. There is a knob on the bottom of the shaft that has to screw in/out and be pulled upwards in order for the user to fold/unfold. I have found a good system for quickly folding it for myself now, but wish it was a little more simple. Overall This was a great purchase. I didn't want to rely on electric scooters and wanted to go as cheap as possible to same some money while I didn't have a car. No gas, insurance, financing, etc. Walking commute -1 Hour 20 Minutes Bike Commute - about 1 Hour but very strenuous. This scooter - 40 Minutes, the lightness and foldability to allow me to take shortcuts through fields and other places I cannot pass through with a bike.

Nice scooter not only for big kids but for tall adults as well. White color is great. The only thing I would consider improving is the bottom of the scooter is not protected at all. I would add some plastic protection there to avoid multiple scratches.

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.

Yo lo utilizo principalmente como un medio para hacer deporte en ciudad pero ocasionalmente lo uso como un medio de transporte alternativo para distancias no mayores de 3 Km. Tenía un patín con doble supensión pero ruedas de 20cm (4in) y no me sentía cómodo con la velocidad que adquiría cuando me encontraba una pendiente cuesta abajo algo pronunciada. Con el A6, la mayor estabilidad que viene de sus ruedas de 25cm (10in), y en mi opinión de mejor calidad, es notable en esa situación y en terreno plano. Sin embargo, la razón por la que dejé de usar el patín de doble suspensión chino fue que tenía un extraño defecto que que hacía que la rueda delantera se patinara lateralmente me costó tres caídas muy fuertes. Con el A6 nunca me he caído y puedo ir mucho más rápido, alrededor de 20-30 segundos menos por kilómetro que con el patín de ruedas de 20cm. El defecto principal es que un piso rugoso produce mucha vibración en los brazos, lo cual llega a ser incómodo si uno tiene que andar por una calle con mal pavimento. Pienso comprar otro para que mi esposa o hijo me acompañen en trayectos largos . Mmi récord de distancia es de 30 Km a una velocidad de 1 km cada 5.30 segundos y en distancias más cortas he llegado a ir a 1 cada 4 minutos (o 15 km/h).
