The Razor Scooter is a compact folding scooter developed by Micro Mobility Systems and manufactured by JD Corporation.[1] Over 5 million were sold in the six months following the launch of the first Razor scooter in 2000. Razors became quite popular around 2000 when Dan Green landed the first backflip ever.[2] The Razor was named Toy of the Year in 2001. The first electric Razor scooter was released in 2003.[3] Today, The Razor Scooter is manufactured by RazorUSA, based in Cerritos, California, United States. DesignThe basic scooter design consists of an airplane grade aluminum frame,[4] 98 mm polyurethane wheels, and a hinged fender over the rear wheel, which is pushed down by the foot to act as a spoon brake. The handlebar and headtube fold for carriage when a quick release latch is opened. This design made the scooters lighter and quieter than previous models.[5] Models{{See also|RazorUSA#Kick scooters}}
Electric scootersIn 2003, RazorUSA introduced its first electric Razor scooter. It operates with the use of a twisting throttle. These new models reach speeds up to 15 miles per hour.[6] Electric scooters became a popular way to travel slightly longer distances than one might with a traditional Razor scooter, yet distances short enough that using a bike would be excessive.[7] Freestyle riding{{See also|Freestyle scootering}}Freestyle scootering is a growing sport. Due to the rough demands of trick riding, people often reinforce the scooter to withstand impacts and high force. SafetyThe Razor scooter is safe for children of many ages, as well as adults, to ride. Razor recommends that kids under the age of eight ride with adult supervision. Razor also endorses the use of protective gear when riding; helmets should always be worn by riders of all ages and elbow and knee pads are an optional addition.[8] To increase the safety of younger riders, a different model of Razor scooter is also recommended. A three wheeled scooter provides kids under the age of 5 with the same fun, but with increased balance and ease of use.[9] Team RazorTeam Razor is an exhibition scooter team sponsored by Razor. This team of professionals travels across the U.S., wowing crowds with their tricks and talents, and appeared at X Games Los Angeles 2013.[10] In October 2013 they completed the Team Razor Cross Country Tour, visiting 17 states as well as the District of Columbia.[11] The team held their most recent exhibition event on August 30, 2014 at the 3rd Annual Triple Crown.[12] Current roster
