Customer Review: “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. […] I’ve had this scooter for a bit over one year. […] 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.”

Customer Review: “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.”

Customer Review: “As a parent, I’m always on the lookout for quality, durable toys and sports equipment for my kids, and the LaScoota Kick Scooter definitely fits the bill. After several weeks of use, I’m impressed enough to leave this review – something I don’t do often!Pros:Versatile for Various Ages: The scooter is marketed for kids aged 6+, but even teens and adults can enjoy it. This versatility makes it a great buy for families. My 9-year-old and 10-year-old both ride it comfortably. I have even used it several times.Sturdy Build: The construction is solid. It doesn’t feel flimsy or cheap, which is a relief considering how rough kids can be. The frame is robust and has endured quite a few bumps and drops already.Smooth Ride: The 8” urethane wheels make a noticeable difference. They glide smoothly on different terrains – from pavements to slightly rougher park paths. My kids have remarked on how “smooth and fast” it feels.Safety First: The braking system is reliable and easy to use, which is a huge plus in my book. I appreciate that my kids can slow down safely, especially when they’re getting a bit too adventurous.Easy to Handle: Despite its sturdiness, the scooter is not overly heavy. My younger child can handle it without much struggle, and it’s easy to carry when needed.Cons:Price Point: It is a bit on the expensive side, but I believe the quality justifies the cost. It’s an investment in a scooter that won’t need replacing any time soon.Storage Size: It’s a bit larger than some other scooters, so storing it takes a bit more space. Not a major issue, but something to consider if you’re tight on space.In conclusion, the LaScoota Kick Scooter is a fantastic choice for families looking for a reliable, fun, and safe scooter. It’s well-built, easy to ride, and should last for years to come. Highly recommended!”

Customer Review: “I’m 47 and I’ve wanted a scooter since my kids got theirs back in the early 2000s. I bought this as a gift for someone else, but even though it was listed as prime, it took over a week to come, so i had to go out and buy a different scooter for her. Since I also just celebrated a birthday, I kept this for myself when it finally arrived. I’m glad I did because my stunted childhood dreams came true! It’s been cold and rainy here but I’ve been riding this baby around my house and it’s every bit as fun as I hoped it would be. I cannot wait to get outside with it! It’s very sturdy and the second height level is perfect for my 5’3 frame. Folding it seems tricky at first, but I found a great YouTube video titled Lascoota Teen Scooter that shows how to pull up while pushing up on the red folding button. Now it’s super easy to fold and unfold. Some weird black plastic piece fell out from where it folds and I’ve emailed the company about it, but so far it doesn’t seem to affect the scooter usage. Replacement parts are readily available, and look pretty inexpensive, from the Lascoota website. Testing the brake inside at low speed, it seems really responsive. The little kickstand is awesome because at my age I’m just so above dumping my $70 scooter on its side in the grass. I’m not planning on doing any rad tricks, and I’m not into getting tiny wheels stuck in cracks, so the larger wheels on this are fabulous because they give such a smooth ride. I’m mostly looking forward to embarrassing my youngest son as I ride around the neighborhood on my super cool pink scooter. I ordered a white helmet to go with this and I’m totally gonna sticker the heck out of it to complete the bad mom effect.”

Customer Review: “My daughter absolutely loves this scooter. Big upgrade from the smaller one. She flies on this thing! I skateboard with her and am pretty good and I can’t keep up if I tried. She has to slow down just to let me hang with! Quality seems top notch, it was easy to assemble and the scooter seems strong. I’m sure it will last a long time. The bigger wheels also make it smoother over bumpy services which is really nice compared to the smaller version. I like this design much better and it should fit her as she gets older since the older one was too small for her. Price also seemed really reasonable compared to other options! Really happy with this one!”

Customer Review: “The Razor A5 Lux Kick Scooter is fantastic! The 8” urethane wheels provide a smooth, stable ride on different surfaces, making it great for both beginners and more experienced riders. The anodized finish with bold colors and graphics looks super cool and holds up well against scratches.It’s sturdy enough to support riders up to 220 lbs, so it’s perfect for kids 8 and up—and even teens can enjoy it. The adjustable handlebars make it easy to customize for a comfortable ride, and the foldable design makes it convenient to carry and store.Overall, this scooter offers great value, quality, and style. Highly recommend for active kids who love to scoot around!”
