4.0 out of 5 stars A good, high-performance, adult-sized scooter. May need adjustment on delivery, March 31, 2009
By 
This review is from: Razor A5 Lux Scooter (Sports)
I bought my A5 Lux in early December, 2008. Even in Denver in the winter months, there are many days suitable for scooting, and I've put about 100 miles on my A5 since then.

Bottom line: I like my A5 very much, I'm glad I bought it, and I would make the same choice again. I would choose it over a Xootr or a Know-Ped. (Amazon sells both of these, too. I encourage you to check them out.)

Added April 24, 2009: Since I first published this review, I've heard from a couple of others who own it that their scooters were not properly adjusted when they received them. This made the steering column feel wobbly and loose. When properly adjusted, the A5 Lux will live up to the description in my review. With such a small sample, it's hard to say how common the problem is. In fairness to Razor, the owner's manual (which you can download at Razor.com.) says you should perform these adjustments before riding and gives clear, easily understandable instructions for them.

Just be aware that if you buy an A5, to get good results you need to check/perform a couple of adjustments when you first get it. These adjustments are simple and can be done with tools most people would already have. See the notes on my photos of the folding mechanism and quick-release for more info.

If the steering column still feels loose after making the adjustments described in the owner's manual, the problem may be a loose headset. Adjusting a headset requires the skills and tools of a bicycle mechanic, and a bike shop would probably charge you for it. The problem with a loose headset, besides the unwanted movement, is that the steering bearings can become damaged. If you get a scooter with a loose headset, you might want to exchange it.

Before buying the A5, I used one of the early Razor models (bought in year 2000) with 98 mm diameter inline skate wheels. I don't know the model designation. I'm not even sure they had model designations back then.

Contrary to what has been said by a previous reviewer, I see no decline in quality between my year 2000 Razor and the A5. I am a civil engineer, and have been repairing and maintaining my own bicycles, motorcycles and cars for about 40 years, so I think have a pretty good understanding of machines. My A5 looks to me to be very well made. Everything operates smoothly, and the machining, fit and finish seem to be flawless. I think the quality of workmanship and materials is very good.

As an example of the quality of the A5 compared to the older Razors, I uploaded a photo of the attachment of the folding mechanism to the platform. The A5 has a continuous weld along the entire length of the joint. My old Razor had only a short weld at the front and another short weld at the rear. Obviously, the continuous weld is stronger. I would call that an improvement in quality.

I'm 5'11" and 165 lb. I use the A5 for commuting and just for fun. When I commute, I carry a backpack that typically weighs around 15 lb; so the total weight on the scooter is around 180 lb. The rated capacity is 220 lb, and the A5 feels very sturdy carrying me and my backpack. I think the 220 lb rated capacity is realistic and probably even conservative, though I wouldn't recommend exceeding it.

The A5 with it's 200 mm diameter wheels is night-and-day different from my old Razor. The A5 is much easier to push, and coasts farther when pushing, and faster down hills. The larger wheels are also much less likely to get caught or thrown by debris on the pavement, uneven pavement, or large cracks. That said, it can still happen. Obviously there is a limit to what any scooter can handle, and the skill of the rider is also a factor. The rider must use good judgment. I'm just saying that, all else being equal, the A5 handles adverse conditions much better than scooters with inline skate wheels. I feel much safer on my A5, and wouldn't go back to my old Razor for anything.

The A5 wheels and bearings have very low rolling resistance. The tires are solid urethane and very firm. This accounts for the low rolling resistance and high-performance, but also gives a harsh ride; possibly a little harsher than my old Razor. As anyone familiar with high-performance road bicycles knows, it's a trade-off: you can have high performance or a soft ride, but not both. Xootrs, which have similar urethane tires, are also reported to give a harsh ride. If you want a gentler ride, get a Know-Ped.

The handlebar height is fine for me. The maximum height above the platform is 36.5", measured to the top side of the grips. The quick release adjustment allows you to set a lower height if you wish. The minimum height would be 27.5".

The deck width is 4.5". You can't put both feet completely on it side-by-side. For some people that would be important for alternating between legs for pushing. To minimize... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Razor has an answer to the Xootr, September 29, 2009

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Razor A5 Lux Scooter (Sports)
I have so many push scooters I bought from Amazon. My all time favorite was the Goped because of the high weight capacity, and its soft comfy tires. For those that are thinking of getting a scooter, you can read the following comparison based on what I have experienced.

Tires and Ride:
1. Razor A5 - Tires are firm but you wont rattle your teeth because the tires are so Tall. Since they are so large, very small imperfections in the road are not noticeable. It glides very well. Although the tires are narrow, since it is so tall, it would take a pretty deep crack on the pavement to make me fall over. Score 9/10
2. Xootr - Tires aren't too large so you feel more vibration. The longest glide of all scooters. Extremely fast on smooth surfaces. More dangerous on imperfect roads, so can really be used on very well paved roads if you want to be really safe. Score 8/10.
3. Goped - The Rolls Royce of Scooter tires. These tires are big and fat, so you don't have to worry about cracks on the pavement. As long as it isn't an open manhole, I am confident I can go over it. Does not glide as far as the A5 and Xootr but not that far behind them. Score 10/10

Weight:
1. Razor A5 - It is the lightest of the 3. It is less than 9 pounds based on the scale. Very easy to carry because it isn't heavy and bulky. Score 10/10
2. Xootr - It is also light and easy to carry. Score 9/10
3. Goped - It is heavy because it is built like a tank. Score 7/10

Ease in Folding:
1. Razor A5 - Hands down winner. It is even easier to fold than the previous Razors. Score 10/10
2. Xootr - I dont like the Pin design. Score 5/10
3. Goped - Very easy to fold but primitive locking. Score 8/10

Price:
1. Razor A5 - Score 10/10
2. Xootr - Score 6/10
3. Goped - Score 9/10

Effort Required:
1. Razor A5 - It has the lowest Deck height, so your standing leg does not have to work so hard. Score 10/10
2. Xootr - It is not as low as the Razor, but since the wheels have an excellent glide, there isnt much effort required. 9/10
3. Goped - It is very high off the ground, so your standing leg has to bend more for each kick. I suppose if you are tall, it won't matter. 8/10

Looks:
1. Razor A5 - It isn't the prettiest thing out there. I am not too hot on the Red wheels and red grips. The all Aluminum frame looks bland. If I were to compare its looks to a car brand, it would be a Suzuki. Score 6/10
2. Xootr - This is the Ferrari of scooters. It is beautiful. I like looking at it, and so do other people. Score 10/10.
3. Goped - If the looks of the Xootr is like a Ferrari, this would be the Subaru Outback. Score 9/10. It isn't flashy, but it has an understated Quality look about it.

The winner:
Razor A5 - It is the best all around scooter I have. It is very good in everything except for looks.

*****UPDATE OCT 9,2009*****

I just replaced the stock ABEC 5 bearings with Bones RED bearings which I purchased from Amazon for 12 dollars for 8 bearings. Bones is the benchmark for performance skate bearings. It only took me 10 minutes to remove my old set and replace them with the Bones.

RESULT:
My A5 now glides just as well as my Xootr and is smoother. It is so much faster as well. You get more distance with each kick. And since I only need 4 bearings for my A5, I still have 4 more as spare. I suggest doing the same. Well worth it.

*****UPDATE APRIL 19,2010******
I conducted a very simple test between my A5 and Xootr Mg. I went down a 10 degree hill that levels off, first with the A5 and then the Xootr. I let gravity propel me on both cases so that kicking power can be ruled out.

Test result:
The A5 went 6 feet further than my Xootr. And I still feel the Bones Reds give a very smooth ride. Definitely smoother and further than the stock bearings of the A5. But, my Xootr still looks awesome, whereas my A5 still looks dull.

Note: I will conduct another test in a few weeks. I will buy 2 sets of replacement wheels from Razor so that I have a new set of tires with the original bearings. 1 set will have original bearings, and another set will have Bones Red. I will then test with a GPS both distance down a hill that levels off, and also acceleration.

This will be an interesting physics experiment. I want this to be a definitive test. I will let you know.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cheaper than Xootr, Know-Ped and other adult scooters, April 4, 2009
This review is from: Razor A5 Lux Scooter (Sports)
I was deciding between the Razor A5, the Pro, the Xootr (and all its variations) and the Know-Ped. And, of course, just plain old walking, but what's the fun in that?

In the end, I'm a cheap, stingy guy and wanted to figure out what would carry my weight without breaking, for the lowest price. The Razor A5 Lux does the trick.

I actually tried the Xootr -- it's an awesome ride, and if you have >0 to shell out, go for it. I didn't feel like sinking another Benjamin into what amounted to an adult toy -- although I think "adult toy" has some other connotations that I'm not intending here.

Anyhow, what's nice about the Razor A5 Lux is that it folds up quickly -- no separate pin to pull out and lose (like the Xootr), there's a built in spring-loaded pin that you pull up, and snaps back in once it's folded. The whole thing is compact enough, once folded, that I can bring it on a moderately crowded subway to only get curious stares rather than nasty glares.

I do wish there were a better way to carry the thing -- a shoulder strap, a convenient handle somewhere. The vertical part of the scooter still spins around when you have it folded up, so you can inadvertently have the bottom part swing around and, *thwack*, land in court because you've just assaulted someone with an adult toy. And that would just be embarassing.

The ride is pretty good. On the streets of New York City, the wheels are large enough to manage the occasional cracks and pits. The rear brake is handy, and slows the scooter down instead of stopping it. Believe me, this is a good thing, since when you get going fast (down even a slight incline), if you stop, the inertia of your body will pitch you over the handlebars if you stop too suddenly.

But as for the ease of getting around and the low-friction-ness of the deal, well, I've tried the Xootr, and while it's not as super-smooth as that ride, it's pretty close. Put it this way -- I wouldn't pay an extra Benjamin to get the ride of the Xootr.

Another thing: to echo another reviewer, the handlebars are indeed a bit narrow for my taste, but also make it that much more unobtrusive on the subway or bus.

One thing I don't really like, but can't figure out how they could make better, is that you're basically standing on one foot most of the time -- which can get pretty tiring. Try standing on one leg for 20 seconds, and you'll see what I mean. It's not a deal-breaker though. I switch standing legs at street corners or whenever. The photo they put in the Amazon description here, though, is funny, because there's no way this dude could be kicking/pushing effectively with either of his legs if he were riding side-saddle as shown. The photo basically implies that he's riding downhill, or else has magical abilities to propel wheeled vehicles and toys.

Finally, the handle-bar height -- I'm 5'9", and this works just fine for me -- it's tall enough with the thing fully extended.

So, all in all, if you're looking at this for a kid, rest assured that it can tolerate the stress that grown men can throw at it. If you're looking at this for yourself, say, for a commute in a sidewalk-capable city like New York City, then this is a decent, economical solution. If you happen to have more cash lying around, go check out the Xootr -- I think nycEwheels has some in NYC, if you're on the East Side. And if you happen to have even less cash lying around, then consider speed-walking or running instead of scooters altogether.
