Sports reviews of Razor Cruiser Scooter (Wood Kick)
Customer Review: Great! Grandma
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
My Grandson loves this razor. It is top of the line in his bookCustomer Review: A very well-made scooter
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
The other day I misplaced my bicycle because I locked it somewhere and left it after the derailleur broke. The next day I bought a cheap Airwalk scooter from Canadian Tire to help me cover more ground. I was immediately struck by what a practical form of transportation these devices are: lighter and cheaper than a bicycle, they fold up, allowing for easy transport on buses and trains. They are also extremely mechanically simple, meaning there's not much to go wrong.
The day after that I ordered a Razor A5 from the States which hasn't arrived yet. This was before I realized I could buy the very similar Cruiser scooter at my local Walmart. I couldn't resist. I am struck by how much better quality this scooter is than the Airwalk, which is already starting to disintegrate (I've disassembled it for an overhaul...)
I have several minor complaints. The handlebars are quite low and might be uncomfortable for those over 5'6". I am quite short, so it's not bad for me. Of course it also depends on arm length. The deck is also quite high off the ground, making it (even) more tiring to push.
The wooden deck flexes, which is actually a design feature, not a bug. On the face of it, this is a good idea since it helps absorb bumps. The problem is, every time the deck flexes, it changes both the steering geometry and the wheelbase, making for somewhat unstable handling. It feels especially loopy under hard braking, when you tend to push on the handlebars to generate extra force--the bars will flex over an inch. It's also unstable when riding over low-speed bumps since the front wheel will try to flex backward rather than roll over the bump. I'm not even sure how piece of wood that thick can flex so much. I also notice that the wood amplifies the sound of a bump even more than metal.
The rosy side of this is that the deck is bolted into place, so you can replace it with one of any size and material you like. Wood, steel, aluminum, fibreglass--choose your poison. Personally, I think I'm going to cut one out of 1/2" plexiglass and put a large orange sticker on it that says: "**Warning** Plexiglass is brittle and has a low tensile strength. It should not be used for structural applications." Since plexiglass generally comes in large sheets, I can always cut a new one...
Customer Review: Great scooter, just too short for adults over 5'9"
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I got this scooter to save me a few mins walking to the bus station.
I read one reviewer on here saying that the handlebars are too low for anyone over 5'6". I'm 5'11" but decided to give it a try anyway.
I have to agree that the handlebars are too low for most adults. I would say 5'9" is the limit. The Razor Pro scooter has handle bars that are 3" higher, and I think that would be good for people up to 6' tall.
As for the wood deck, that same reviewer said it came warped. The deck is bowed, but that is a part of the design. The deck will flex when you stand on it, so it was designed to bow upwards to compensate for the flex. The flex on the deck does make the ride smoother by helping to absorb some of the bumps. But I feel this flex also makes the ride feel less stable. Personally, I would prefer a solid metal deck.
Overall, the scooter is well made and I would highly recommend it to anyone under 5'9"
Customer Review: It's all about clearance above the ground.
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I have the original smaller-wheel Razor but am much happier with the Cruiser, which I bought about a year ago. As an adult rider, I need the tallest clearance above the sidewalk that I can find, and this is it. I measured my Cruiser's clearance as 3 1/4". The new A5 Lux only reports2.5".
I measured clearance on my old little-wheel Razor, which was only 2" to the platform, less at least another maddening inch of that triangular bar under the platform which has caught me up so many times on the cracks.
The Cruiser has developed a sound at the back wheel, which I must check out, but it beats the A5 for clearance (read: safety and smooth ride) for my money. Even the xooter has lower clearance, with due respect to an obviously (one assumes from the price!) excellent scooter. Thanks.
Customer Review: Too tall.
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I bought this for $40, and was very happy when I first got it, because I bought the original scooter (that I still use today) for $110 10 years ago.
I weight 220 pounds, and I'm 5'10, and unfortunately, I'm too tall for this scooter. I wish you could put the handle higher, but you can't. The wheels, being as big as they are, make riding it downhill a bit scary as well because I feel so far away from the ground.
My main complaint is that you can't put the handle bar higher, otherwise you get a bang for your buck with this product.
