Review: Razor Icon electric scooter is a budget-priced nostalgic ride
I wouldn’t want it to go any faster, but 33 mph is reality. But that’s crazy fast when standing and any more I feel would attract more attention than I want. It’s very well built, the razor hoverboards charger fits great in the handlebar bag, and I picked up a second bad and cable lock.I would recommend this for anyone who has a fun, back way to work that’s within 15 miles or so.
Coming in the fall, this option is foldable and therefore more of a commute contender. It’s smaller than the SUP model with only 12-inch wheels and weighs 30 pounds, even when folded up. It has a lithium-ion battery, but a lead acid battery version will be available in 2021. Gibbs Law Group filed a class action lawsuit against Razor in the Superior Court of California for Los Angeles County. The class action suit, representing owners of the affected Razor electric scooters, alleged that Razor failed to adequately warn consumers or recall the defective scooters.
The Icon looks like a scaled-up version of its original scooter. The base is very angular, with sharp edges in the front and back that give it a raw, almost unfinished look, but it works. All of the Icon’s wires are routed through its frame, furthering the clean lines of the scooter. The steering also doesn’t turn as far as I would have liked, lock to lock. And since rolling backward is difficult (as described above), it makes the issue even more frustrating.

The Icon at least received a rubber upgrade to make them a bit softer, but the solid rubber still prevents flat tires from ruining your ride. The Razor Icon electric scooter certainly looks the part of a classic Razor. The only immediate giveaway that this isn’t the same as the scooter gathering dust in your parent’s attic is that the wheels look much larger. The Icon’s front headlight is mounted pretty low to the ground — just above the front wheel — so it provides some, but not great, visibility in darker conditions. I did like the rear brake lights, which are nicely integrated into the rear of the Icon’s frame.
In doing so, the class action contended that Razor had violated various consumer protection laws. The Segway Ninebot E2 is a dependable alternative to many of Razor’s adult folding scooters, and a great choice for students because it’s totally maintenance free. And for $299, it’s probably the cheapest adult scooter you can buy. Its solid wheels do a better job than any we’ve ridden of absorbing bumps, and its lightweight, 32 lb build make it easy to carry from place to place.
My original Razor scooter I’ve had since 2009 has reached around 4000 MILES! I have ridden that thing almost everyday for the past 11 years and I haven’t had to replace anything on it which shows how well made they are.
So, riders were forced to make modifications like reinforcing the scooters’ locks and redesigning handlebars with heavier-grade aluminum. The basic scooter design consists of an airplane grade aluminum frame,[4] 98 mm polyurethane wheels, and a hinged fender over the rear wheel, which is pushed down by the foot to act as a spoon brake. The handlebar and headtube fold for carriage when a quick release latch is opened. Among the best electric scooters, it’s definitely a standout compared to its peers.
