Do you have a kid who loves to be on the move all the time? In that case the Razor E125 Electric Scooter could well be the perfect gift for their next birthday or Christmas.
The manufacturer – Razor recommends this scooter for children of 8 years old and up – the maximum weight capacity is 120lbs – however, I have known 5 year olds to zip about on these and I also know of many adults who like to “borrow” their kids E125 scooter!
You will discover that the Razor E125 electric scooter can boast a high-torque motor which is chain driven, this I am told is far more durable and gives a much better performance than the E100 which was (perhaps still is?) belt driven. It also has a twist grip throttle which most kids get to grips with fairly quickly although my sources tell me that some younger kids take a while to get the hang of it.
One fact that I should point out is that the E125 unlike its bigger counterparts does not start from a standing position. The rider has to manually reach a speed of 3 mph and then on the press of a trigger the motor will kick in. Once the motor is running it is possible to reach a pretty impressive 10 mph which for “tweens” is an ideal speed, enough for some incredible fun but not too fast that it would cause a nuisance when ridden on the side walk. Stopping is just as important as the speed and you will find that the E125 is fitted with a front, hand operated brake.
The Razor E125 electric scooter is powered by a rechargeable battery which is best charged overnight. Once fully charged it will give around 40 minutes of power. There are those which complain that this really is not long enough but on the whole it seems to be of no consequence because everyone just loves these scooters.
The things which most parents love about the Razor E125 is that it takes only a few minutes to put together and it can be folded down and put in the trunk of the car so the kids can take it on vacation or family days out and makes storage non problematic.

One final small tip – don’t ride the scooter through puddles, I spoke to one young lad who did just that and it was the end of his beloved Razor E125 electric scooter.
As with any motor powered toy safety must be paramount so, a helmet and perhaps knee and elbow pads should be considered whilst riding this scooter.
