Bought this for my grandson for Christmas, I'll let ya know what he thinks

Very Nice

Hello, I don’t usually write reviews but here we go. I purchased this scooter on September 21st for my sons 7th birthday. It’s October 2nd. Charged the battery for 24hrs as required before first use. On October 1st the scooter quit working. No damage and very light use kept indoors.Called amazon who was amazing by the way they offered me a full refund even though they didn’t have to.Amazon stayed on the line while they called Razor. Razor informed me the scooter was manufactured in early 2017 and the batteries needed to be replaced. The only way razor would begin to start a claim for replacement batteries I had to send them a proof of purchase to start the claim. Even though we had all the info and was amazon was on the line confirmed the purchase. After they received the proof they then would start to process the replacement batteries. After I received the replacement batteries I would then have to set up a service appt. with a authorized Razor repair shop. We are talking weeks possibly a month plus here for a scooter that 2 weeks old. After I asked the razor representative if it wasn’t the batteries then they would have to continue to trouble shoot. Shame on Razor they refused to send a new unit. I would stay away from ever purchasing another product from Razor and I think they need to be more upfront selling these products and knows they are built for children. Sending a 3 year old scooter outrageous. The issue I have isn’t that it quit working it’s now razor handled it and the long lag time before we could get the product working again.Thank you again amazon for stepping in and doing the correct thing.We also purchased the extended 2year warranty amazon is refunding that as well.

I bought this for my nine year old son's birthday. I received it within days of ordering. The directions said to charge for 24 hours before first use, so I assembled the scooter, hid in the shed and plugged it in for 2 days. My son was super excited to get it, but it wouldn't work. He ran up and down the driveway till he was exhausted but it never worked. The manual said the charger LED would be green when charged. The light was green, but it didn't work. I got a screwdriver to remove the cover plate, but before I did I noticed a long crack down the side. I also noticed one of the screws had been torqued down too much, the head went through the plastic cover. When I removed the cover plate I saw a wire had been sandwiched between the battery and the cover plate and the wire jacket had been cut. I put some tape around the wire and moved it to a better location. I also noticed one of the wires to the reset button was disconnected and the switch lead was bent. I straightened the lead and connected the wire and the scooter worked. I screwed the top cover plate back on and put some tape on the crack and gave it to my son. He got on and yelled, "whoa this is way faster than Nathan's!" His friend has an E100 chain drive. My son put the scooter down and said he didn't want to play with it. He finally admitted the scooter scares him when it kicks on. The torque on this thing kicks in immediately and will knock you back if you're not ready for it. Top speed is just a hair faster than the E100, but the E100 doesn't give you that jolt when the motor kicks in. I worked with him and coached him to lean forward and anticipate the motor kicking in. He's used to it now and really likes it, but it definitely intimidated him at first. It's a good little scooter, I just wish the motor kicked in a little easier. You also have to make sure it's plugged in after use or it might not work next time.I contacted the seller about the issues, but their recommendation was to return it for a replacement. You can't take your kid's birthday present away and wait for a return, especially when all it needs is a new top cover plate. I contacted Razor and they apologized for the quality issues and shipped a new cover plate out the next day. I've been a manufacturing engineer for half my career, I know mistakes happen, I'm just happy the company replaced the parts without any hassle.The scooter itself is made from good materials. The frame is tube steel. The front tire is inflatable, while the rear one is not, but is solid rubber. The top cover plate is plastic, but I think it's fine if put together properly.All in all it's a good little scooter that my son likes to ride. I would recommend it, just make sure your little one wears a helmet and help him or her get used to the instant torque the motor has.

After 3 charge cycles and a 180 pound man riding it hard, one of the two 12 volt batteries failed. I don’t believe weight or load was the cause of this, it ran well and the batteries went through full charge/discharge cycles. Until the last cycle when after a full 12 hour charge, one battery read 12.8v while the other was at 9v. Razor Company is kindly mailing me a replacement battery under warranty. However I replaced both 12v 6ah batteries with two 12v 9ah batteries (which required that I raise the deck 1/2”.). The scooter now rides longer and seems to have a little more torque available-top speed is expectedly unchanged. Good value over all, but the power core E90 lasts longer on one battery even with me on it. What you get with E100 is slightly more foot space, slightly taller handle bar, and a pneumatic front wheel.

Easy to use.

Our 8-year-old went from barely able to keep her balance for a second or two, to flying around the neighborhood after only a few days. No complaints.But a few words of warning are in order. The acceleration is unexpectedly quick and to be frank, dangerous for an inexperienced rider. Start a younger child with the thing turned off, then show them how to use the accelerator only for quick bursts.It should also be said that many of the negative reviews are the fault of the buyer. You MUST follow the charging recommendations (fully charge before first use, allow to reach near-depletion before each recharge, do not over-charge) Also, there is a little circuit breaker reset near the on/off switch. If it dies unexpectedly or won't charge, be sure to check that. And finally, it isn't made for an adult!

Granddaughter loved it for her 13th birthday
