Impressed with the e200s
I bought this scooter for my 9yr old daughter as a Christmas gift. I was originally hesitant about buying her a 200 watt scooter(recommended for ages 13+), but she insisted on a seated electric scooter and the e200s was the lowest wattage seated scooter I could find.(Needless to say...a helmet, knee & elbow pads were also parts of her gift.) I also liked the fact that it was a chain-drive scooter. The other obvious choice, the Xtreme X-250, is belt-driven. And while it had some other desirable features that the e200s lacked, I opted for the serviceability of the chain.
There's no doubt that a lot of effort went into designing this thing. Razor really dominates the competition in this department, IMO. The fit & finish of the metal and plastic parts is top notch, considering this is a "toy quality" scooter. The colored "Razor" logo grip tape on the deck & seat base is practical and nice looking. Neither the handlebar or seat height is adjustable, which we don't really like.(they are adjustable on the X-250) Fortunately, my daughter is rather tall for her age so it isn't too much of a problem. Razor claims a top speed of 12mph...and she's already seen every bit of that(and more going downhill). Her riding time has been limited by recent snowfalls, but she's eager to get back out there once the weather breaks. I hope she's able to put many miles on her e200s. I like the fact that there seems to be decent parts support for Razor products. I've even found some direct-fit aftermarket parts available. Overall, I'd say we're initially pleased with the green machine!!
