Several upgraded models of the A Kick Scooter also allow you to maintain the classic look and feel while adding some higher quality and more advanced features. As part of the testing process, we also evaluate a scooter’s brakes, lighting, and design, as well as its price. Speaking of brakes, almost all scooters have some sort of handbrake; some will have a secondary brake that can be activated by pressing down on a scooter’s rear fender. The Unagi also has a great display that’s bright enough to easily see even in daylight; we also liked its intuitive controls and loud, electric-sounding horn.

While it’s nice to have the reassurance of a razor moped scooter mechanical brake, the Razor Icon’s electronic brake was responsive, and slowed me down quickly. I did find that it would continue to brake for a split second after I released the lever, which caused a weird sort of lag.
It has both head and taillights, the latter of which blinks rapidly when you hit the brakes. This fun and cheap scooter will give your kids plenty of thrills — safely — as they learn to ride. It doesn’t go too fast or too far, but comes in plenty of fun colors.
Before his tenure at Tom’s Guide, he was the Reviews Editor for Laptop Magazine, a reporter at Fast Company, the Times of Trenton, and, many eons back, an intern at George magazine. He received his undergraduate degree from Boston College, where he worked on the campus newspaper The Heights, and then attended the Columbia University school of Journalism. The Razor E100 is the best electric scooter for parents who want to get a scooter for their kids to safely ride around town.
The Razor E100 is a capable and dependable electric scooter for kids that doesn’t cost too much. It’s a bit noisy, so we suggest opting for the PowerCore E100, which is about $10 more, but has a hub-mounted motor. The Razor Icon is its aptly named successor, adding a motor but keeping the same overall look. Beneath the exterior, though, is a great midrange scooter that’s affordably priced, with good range and a suitably strong motor.
