The Euro Electric Scooter from Razor
The Euro Electric Scooter (also known as the Pocket Mod) is an electric scooter from RazorUSA. The Euro Scooter is modeled following the classic Vespa scooter design. It’s scaled down quite a bit from a full-size scooter.
The Euro Scooter throttle is controlled by rotating the right handlebar grip. Brakes are controlled by pulling a lever on the left handlbar grip. Turning is accomplished by leaning, just like a bike, but the Euro Electric Scooter’s turning radius isn’t nearly as sharp as a bicycle.
While the Razor Euro Scooter is designed for children over the age of 12, many users have reported letting children as early as 8 use it. The most rider weight is 170 lbs.
The Euro Electric Scooter takes about Ten minutes to assemble. You will need to attach the leading wheel and handlebars. You’ll also need to check spoke tension on the wheels and tighten any nuts that could have loosened during shipping. A spoke tightening tool is included.
The Euro Electric Scooter is powered by two 12v batteries. The batteries are charged by plugging in to a standard wall socket. When you initially get your scooter, it’s recommended to let the battery charge for 18 hours, although many users have only charged for 8. When the battery has been fully charged, recharging usually takes less than 8 hours.
The scooter is able to reach speeds of up to 15mph and can go 10 miles on one charge. Your exact mileage will vary depending on the weight from the rider and the type of terrain. Heavier riders and hilly terrain can lead to lower mileage. Razor gives an official usage time of 30 minutes, although many parents declare that their small children are able to ride for hours while not having to recharge.
Storage area under the seat of the Euro Electric ScooterThe Pocket Mod Scooter has 12? pneumatic (air-filled) rubber tires. The tires come pre-inflated, however they can lose air during shipping so it’s extremely important that you make sure the tires are properly inflated before letting your son or daughter use the scooter. Make use of a pressure gauge to ensure the tires are inflated to the PSI indicated along the side of tire.
Since the tires are the most likely part of the scooter to require replacement, it’s a good idea to get at least one spare tire and tube when you purchase the scooter.
