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!! Last edited by SL8Brick : 01-02-2010 at 11:58 PM. |

Just a brief update on our Razor E200s...
It's almost mid-April and the real scooter riding weather is just beginning to kick in here in the Northeast. My 9yr old daughter has opted to ride her E200s without the seat...she thinks it's easier to control while standing up. I think she just likes the thrill of leaning her whole body while cornering. She's put at least 30 miles on it by now and the scooter has only required routine maintenance(tire inflation, minor chain adjustment, ect.). We did have one mishap when she had to jump off the scooter at nearly full speed to avoid hitting her older sister(riding on a Currie Ezip E750). Aside from a few paint scrapes on the frame and handlebars, the E200s was not damaged in the crash.(My armor-clad girls were unscathed as well ) So far, so good...it's still a great scooter in our book.SL8Brick |

The little green scooter is still holding up pretty well. She decided to ride it with the seat installed today. Like I said before, the seat height is not adjustable and she has to stand on her tip-toes when the scooter is not in motion. But she's still able to safely get herself going and bring herself to a stop. We're finding that the seat itself is poorly designed for it's purpose. While the overall length is more than adequate, the leading edge of the seat is rather wide and doesn't allow her to bring her knees together while riding. There is also minimal padding and no springs in the seat which makes for a rough ride on a small, suspension-less scooter with 8" tires. These observations haven't really changed our opinion of the Razor product...with about 40 miles on it so far, we're still getting our money's worth.
