Razor Pro RDS Dirt Scooter - Red

I didn't buy it to ride. I'm building a custom trike wheelchair and got it to cannibalize the front end including the downtube. When I pulled it out of the box, it was so heavy I though it must be made of steel, not aluminum. Grabbed a magnet. It's aluminum. ..........In the past, Razor scoots were built as much as possible from off the shelf parts to minimize capital investment in manufacturing capability, and the design philosophy was "good enough". .......... This is a whole different animal. The main frame member is a complex custom extrusion, it was designed to be finished off by robotic welding, and to go together without any screws. The deck decal is not a decal, the sand material is put directly onto the aluminum deck and is almost impossible to remove even using using solvents. The paint is thick and I presume powdercoat. The aluminum is heavy guage, not lighter weight as I've seen on prior Razors I've cannibalized. The wheels are off the shelf standard split plastic hub 8 inchers but strong, with 10 mm axles and custom made spacers to fit a genuine bicycle style fork that has a slight amount of angle. They paid attention to every detail. ........ I gave it 5 for durability even though I cannibalized it. Why? You could beat an Abrams tank to death with this thing. I don't know how a human being riding it could ever break it other than by wearing out the tire or the cartridge type sealed bearings. And if that ever happens, just buy a replacement wheel assembly right here on Amazon. NOTE: to prevent flats, put some "slime" or equivalent into the tubes. If you have no experience with "slime", it seems like it wouldn't really work. But when i was a kid I had a paper route with lots of goathead stickers, so trust me on this, the stuff really does work.

Bought two for my twin daughters. They're almost 50 pounds, in 3rd grade and love them. I have used it as well to walk (run) the dog. He loves to run along side. I'm 180 pounds and it supports me quite well. That said, it I were to seriously ride this every day at 5'9", I would want it longer and have adjustable height handlebars. Maybe they need to build the "adult" size as well? But it is made for kids and I believe almost indestructible. The rubber tires are perfect for dirt, gravel and rough asphalt. Maybe a too heavy if your child is not yet 40 pounds. Also works awesome on smooth surfaces.

Purchased this for my son and he loves it. The scooter was easy to assemble, sturdy and secure. My son has been riding this scooter on pavement and dirt with no issues when transitioning from one surface to another. The tires are pneumatic (air filled) which makes for a softer ride vs the hard roller blade style wheels which some scooters come with. I have taken it out for a quick spin myself and being an adult and larger then my son the scooter supported my weight with no issues. Sturdy and solid construction makes this scooter a 5 Star purchase.

Overall, this scooter seems to be very well made. However, I didn't give it five stars for the following two reasons: First, the handlebar height is not adjustable. My son is an extra tall 11-year-old, and I can't see him being able to ride this for long. I realize that this scooter is made for rugged terrain, and the handlebars need to be high strength. The manufacturer really needs to figure out a way to either include an extension tube or make one available for purchase that will stand up to the rigors of off-road travel. Second, the valve stems on the tires are almost impossible to attach a tire pump to. I had to purchase some 90 degree extensions for the valve stems in order to add air to the tires, and it is a pain to have to attach these every time I air up the tires. There must be a better design out there, or at least make them come out straight so that I can attach my compressor hose easily.

I got this scooter for christmas and It had amazing endurance. My brother and sister got a dirt scooter both to and they were both amazing. my sisters scooter got run over by are huge Mercedes Benz van and the thing barely bent and is still in good condition while some dirt scooters could have been completely crushed. I have also taken it to our local skate park and it work really well. On dirt it performs really well and does'nt rattle at all. Ignore all the one star reviews. Those reviewers are either terribly picky or they just got a bad egg. Overall, if you are looking for an amazing scooter that rides super smoothly on almost any terrain, put this in your shopping cart

Sturdy, and great for off pavement scooting. You’re no longer stuck to just riding on pavement due to the rubber inflatable tires. My 8 yr old daughter is excited to go for a ride outside, but it’s raining hard out when we received it. It’s very easy to assemble. My 13 year old son assembled it in about 5 minutes once he got it out the box. Comes with the tool needed, which is an Allen wrench.

My kids (aged 5 and 7) love their Razor Pro RDS dirt scooters. They are more fun and easier to handle than the regular more lightweight "road" scooters with hard polyurethane tires that go jerking and jarring down the street. The dirt scooters are not as fast, but they glide along on rough broken pavement and up over sidewalks, making them a good replacement for regular lightweight scooters as the kids go a bit slower on them (which is a good thing) and they are less likely to crash (a very good thing). My single complaint (hence the ding of 1 star on 'sturdiness') is that although they are very sturdy, one of the wheels had a slight rattle for a while that was a bit annoying. We haven't had any issues so far with deflated tires that some owners on here have reported. Note that these red (or black) original RDS dirt scooters are slightly less tall and slightly lighter than the updated Razor Phase 2 versions (which come in teal or diamond edition) and are therefore more suitable for children.

I bought this as a gift for my daughter, who has issues riding bikes. She was scared of bikes and that's what her friends like to do, so after much research online, I decided to get her a scooter for her birthday. Since we live on a rough road, she couldn't use normal hard wheeled scooters that would get caught on rocks and fling her off like a large rock out of a small slingshot. She's been riding this thing around all the time. Her friends now have taken to riding scooters with her, she can ride her scooter with the kids on bikes, and she absolutely loves it! Great exercise, entertains her, and it's great to build her confidence up about being on two wheels.

Buena calidad, bastante robusto y resistente, se agradeceria que los ejes fuesen un poco mas robustos, pero es suficiente para alguien de hasta 75 kg de peso, la altura del manubrio resulta un poco baja para alguien de 1.70 de estatura... pero en general buen producto.

Nice and sturdy scooter. Amazon had the best price on it. Easy to assemble. We may look into getting some new bearings for the wheels so that they roll a little better.

This is the second dirt scooter we have purchased. We had one for our son and our daughter wanted one in another colour also. My son’s is 5 years old and is still in perfect shape. All of their friends love this type of scooter, took less than a minute to assemble and fast delivery! Well worth the money, rides great on grass, rocks, etc.

We live in Ottawa, cold and snowy for 1/2 the year. Gravel on the roads as the snow melts. This scooter extends the scooter season significantly. The large wheels work on rough terrain. The only down side is it's weight. It is heavy and my son cannot do any tricks. If your child likes to do tricks with friends - this is not the scooter.

My son loves this scooter. Great for campsites and around on the roads and trails near my house. Never worryied about little rocks jamming the wheels. It is strong and well built, however it doesn't collapse down. Hasn't been an issue for us though. All my kid's friends want to ride it too. So much fun!
