Scooters have around for a long time, but the original scooter was a far cry the new designs that you can find nowadays. The first scooter was a combination of roller skate wheels and a small plank of wood, but a lot has changed since then. While the scooter seemed to have fallen out fashion for several years, there is no denying that they are very popular now.
The first word that comes to mind right after “scooter” is, without a doubt, Razor. Razor pretty much reinvented the original wooden scooter and made a more weather resistant version when it introduced the aluminum scooter.
A New Generation of Scooters
Using a lighter, weather-resistant material is not the only thing Razor did for the scooter world. It also created a completely new generation of scooters: new designs, colors, sizes, and more. Today, both little kids and adults can enjoy the popular toy.
More than a Toy
The new generation of scooters is certainly more than a toy. While they are still a lot of fun to use, they can be used as an alternative source of transportation. For example, electric scooters, such as the Razor E Prime electric scooter, can be used to commute.
The E Prime is a gunmetal grey, sleekly designed scooter that can go up to 15 mph (24 km/h) and run for about 30 minutes continuously. This easy-to-use the scooter is a kick-to-start, high-torque, brushless, hub-driven vehicle with a thumb-activated electric engine, variable-speeds, paddle controls.
This aluminum-frame scooter is 16.75″ (425 mm) by 5.5″ (140 mm) with extra-large airless rubber tires, adjustable handlebars, a retractable kickstand, a rechargeable 36V lithium-ion pack, a rechargeable (UL2271) battery, and a five-stage LED battery indicator display and battery charger that allows you to easily see the battery life.
Meant for ages 14 and up with a max rider weight of 176 lb. (80 kg), this scooter is very stable and extremely easy to ride. There is also very little assembly required (five minutes or less).
I have to admit that It was not convinced about an electric scooter until I hopped on the E Prime. It is a blast! As long as you follow the general safety rules, it is also a safe ride. I do, however, make sure that my daughter wears closed-toe shoes and a helmet any time she is riding the scooter because it goes pretty fast.
My husband, daughter, and I have all ridden and fallen in love with this scooter. I especially like the compact fold and the lightweight design, which makes it so easy to bring along and store.
This
scooter is well-constructed with patent-pending
anti-rattle folding technology, an extra-long and extra-wide extrusion profile aluminum
deck, and soft rubber prism-shaped grips for maximum comfort. The E Prime quickly
became the favorite toy for the whole family!

I like the scooter with the light up wheels. I have never tried an electrick scooter. This would be for my daughter.
I’ve never ridden an electric scooter, although I remember being envious of them when I was a child. The electric skateboards are interesting–I didn’t know those existed! I had heard of hover boards, so I guess an electric skateboard makes sense.
I would definitely keep this because my son loves scooters
My grandson loves scooters and is quite good at them! I would give this to him as a birthday gift. I don’t think I would last very long on one of these things. But if I tried and my grandson recorded it, it could be something he could and would watch for years to come.
I would love the E-XR Electric Scooter for the “big kids” in our family! These scooters sound great!

My 9 year old has an electric scooter that I tried once. It was so much fun but since it was made for kids I was afraid I would break it. I would love one of my own so I would absolutely keep it! The Hovertrax 2.0 hoverboard also looks like a lot of fun! We spend a lot of time outside playing and I get a little jealous of the fun toys they make these days for kids.

I really like the seated electric scooters. I have ridden an electric scooter in Atlanta. I am disabled with a back injury, so I rent an electric scooter to help me get around downtown while my mother is working at the Atlanta Apparel Mart. If I won, I would definitely keep it. We go to Atlanta several times a year, and if I had a scooter of my own, I would not have to rent one every day. It would be awesome!!
Have you ever tried an electric scooter? No, but my son with Aspergers would totally love it. He could use it to visit his buddies down the road.
Would you gift it or keep it?
I’d totally keep it for my children. The oldest would use it now, and then my youngest would when he’s ready. Unless the eldest won’t share, that is.
I really like their EcoSmart Metro Electric Scooter. I have not tried an electric scooter but I certainly would love to and would definitely love to have one for myself. I have extreme difficulty walking due to blood clots. It would be a relief to be able to bring an electric scooter along on a walk as an assistant! Thanks for the amazing giveaway opportunity.
I like the don,t miss the Razor E-Punk Electric Mini Bike or the e-XR electric scooter. I have been researching these as my grandson could use it to go to school with. We have no transportation in the suburbs so looking into these as an alternative.
