That nostalgic shiny aluminum Razor kick scooter, a staple of many childhoods, where nearly every kid on the block seemed to have one. Don’t you mean the retribution that may eventually come full circle and exact revenge on your very Achilles tendon? The corporation has rebranded and reintroduced it as a high-performance electric scooter specifically designed for adult use, marketed under the name Razor Icon. Your order is being delivered directly to a retailer near your location.
The Razor Icon electrical scooter smoothly glides out.
While the Razor Icon may evoke memories of its vintage counterpart, it has undergone significant upgrades, boasting larger wheels, an expanded platform, a more robust construction, LED lighting, and most notably, an electric motor.
Launched earlier this spring on Kickstarter, the project achieved its funding goal in mere hours, exceeding expectations from the start.
As early adopters seized the chance to be among the first to ride the road’s entrance, they secured priority access to primary rides. But now, the Razor Icon electric scooter is poised to hit retail shelves at Goal and Razor’s website, giving the rest of us a chance to recapture our youthful spirit and relive the thrill of scootering.
As you soar effortlessly through the air at a pace of 18 miles per hour, or 30 kilometers per hour, without breaking a sweat, consider this: why exhaust yourself by trudging along on foot when you can glide effortlessly?
With a powerful 350W motor seamlessly integrated into the rear wheel, The Razor Icon is able to achieve an impressive top speed of 18 mph.
The 8.5-inch tires replace the original 4-inch polyurethane wheels on this unique scooter. While they may resemble the originals at a distance, they now boast stable rubber tires offering a smoother ride than the jarring polyurethane wheels of yesteryear. As the absence of an interior tube guarantees a completely flat tire performance similar to the original, albeit accompanied by a slightly enhanced ride quality.
A 36-volt battery reportedly provides 18 miles (30km) of range, a significant amount suitable for urban commutes and leisurely rides.
The Razor’s braking system operates through a combination of an electric motor-activated brake, controlled by the left thumb lever, and a practical stomp brake integrated into the rear wheel design, reminiscent of earlier Razor models.
The Razor Icon, weighing in at 26 pounds (11.8 kg), boasts a distinctive feature set, including a rear taillight that cleverly transforms into a brake light for increased visibility on the road, as well as a headlight designed to keep you slightly more visible during nighttime commutes?
The scooter was initially offered on Kickstarter for a special introductory price of just $549, but its retail price has since been set at $599. When you’re too cautious to invest fully in a crowdfunding initiative, that’s the cost you’ll pay – missing out on being at the forefront.
As Razor’s Vice President of Design and Growth, Ian Desberg explained in an official statement sent to:
The excitement surrounding Razor Icon has been palpable since we initially launched our Kickstarter campaign in March, with tremendous enthusiasm building around our innovative project. This cutting-edge design, boasting a sleek, modern aesthetic and vibrant color palette, redefines the travel experience while thoughtfully nodding to its iconic predecessor from the early 2000s. We’re dedicated to providing a euphoric experience for both those who rode the iconic Razor ‘A’ in their youth and our newer followers alike, making this launch an unforgettable adventure.
