3.0 out of 5 stars Scooter Comparison, Razor A5, Go-Peds, Airwalk Grande, December 28, 2010

This review is from: Airwalk Grande Scooter (Silver) (Sports)

I bought 4 scooters for my 2 kids and myself for Xmas in 2010. Razor A5, Airwalk Grande, both sizes of the Go-Ped, the Grow Ped (small) and the Know Ped (large). My daughter is 7, son is 11, and I'm mid 50s. We already owned a couple of older small wheeled Razors.

The Airwalk is a knockoff of the Razor A5. Slightly larger wheels, but not by much. The Airwalk is not as polished of a design. It does have a wider foot plank, but the plank top is almost 2" higher than the Razor A5 (4 1/2" vs 2 1/2"), so the balance isn't as good and requires more reach to stroke. The construction quality isn't as good as the Razor, and it's heavier by a pound or 2. The one I receive was "defective". The post was not welded on straight. I sent it back to Amazon and ordered the Go-Peds.

The Razor A5 is a polished product. We all like it. It's noticeably faster and easier to stroke along than the Go-Peds. It is the lightest and least expensive of all 4 scooters we tried. The footboard is a bit narrow, but you can still get 2 feet on it. The handle bars are adjustable, which is good for us. We can all ride it. One negative is the handle bar caps, which are hard plastic and not comfortable. The Go-Peds have a hand brake, which does come in handy, but I suppose the tradeoff is simplicity The Razor A5 ride is a bit rougher than the Go-Peds on the street, but not by much. We all like the Razor the best for most of our riding, but the Go-Peds are also nice, so we kept both.

The Go-Peds are well thought out with good construction. I like the folding scheme the best; quick simple and sturdy. Some reviewers have complained about the clip that hooks the handle bars to the back fender when folded, but it seems to work fine. The Go-Peds are more casual to ride than the Razor A5. The tires are fatter, but only 3/4 the height of the Razor wheels. The Razor A5 Wheels seem like the optimal height, but they are narrower and won't go over the soft dirt or rough surfaces as well as the fatter Go-Ped Wheels. It's nice having both a hand brake and the back foot brake on the Go-Peds. The foot board is twice as wide as the Razor, wide enough for both feet side by side. It's more casual sporting around on than the Razor, turning and banking, but not as good for transportation. The fatter shorter Go-Ped wheels don't roll as well as the Razor A5, and the foot board is slightly higher, so it doesn't go as fast and requires more stroking. We did a couple of shallow downhill test, and the Razor is definitely faster. My 7 year old daughter on the Razor A5 can outrun my 11 year old son on the Know-Ped over a half mile level route on the street and sidewalk.

The Grow-Ped and the Know-Ped use the same size wheels, but are different size frames. The Go-Ped handle bar height is not adjustable, so I bought both thinking my 7 year old daughter would use the smaller Grow-Ped and my 11 year old son would use either the larger Know-Ped or the Razor A5. My daughter liked the Razor A5 more than the small Grow-Ped, probably because it goes faster, so we sent the Grow-Ped back to Amazon and kept the Razor A5 and the Know-Ped. I may choose to buy a 3rd scooter so we have one when friends come over. If we do, we'll buy another Razor A5, but we like the Know-Ped also. It's nice to have both. The smaller Grow-Ped is a nice scooter, but for smaller kids. The price difference between the Grow-Ped (small) and the Know-Ped (large) is minimal. There is also a 3rd model, the Super-Grow-Ped, which is stronger and lighter for doing tricks and jumps, but it's twice as expensive.

I buy a lot of stuff from Amazon.com. Amazon's price is usually competitive (on most stuff, but not everything), and I like the easy user interface and Prime Shipping. It's easy to look at my account and see what I bought 6 months ago or last year. I rarely return anything, but the few times I have, it's easy and fast. I've never written a review, but since I rely on the Amazon reviews so much, though I would this time because I did compare 4 scooters.

The Razor only comes in one color. The Go-Peds have a choice of colors. The Go-Peds are a little heavier than the Razor.

I highly recommend both the Razor A5 and the Go-Peds, but wouldn't recommend the Airwalk Grande. I also read some reviews on the Xootr, but didn't buy one, partially due to the higher price, and at the end of the day it's a toy for my kids. I also looked at some other options like the Kent Super Scooter, but passed despite the good reviews because it seemed bulky and heavy, not as portable in the car or on a bus.

I bought this scooter for my husband so he could ride around the neighborhood with the kids. I bought it 6 months ago and it is still in great shape. I was looking for something my husband would fit on, and this seems to be the only option under $300. He is 6'3" and has a size 15 shoe. And so I wanted one that had tall enough handle bars and a big enough foot bed. THis one works! I wish the handle bars were a couple inches taller, but not a big deal for just scooting around the neighborhood. He foot fits on this bed and he can scoot without issue. The big wheels give great stability going over bumps. The kids LOVE him scootering with them and I've tried it and might get one for myself too!

4.0 out of 5 stars The SUV of Scooters, September 2, 2011

This review is from: Airwalk Grande Scooter (Silver) (Sports)

The build quality of the scooter is good. The fender rattles a little, but is very secure. After a weekend of heavy use, my son and I both noticed that braking is subpar. The root cause if the shiny metal that is used as the rear fender. It simply has no "grab".

I am six feet tall and wish the handle bars were two inches taller. The deck is higher and will take some getting used to as it requires more significant bending at the knee. An adult may want to look at the Fuzion Cityglide. However, for smaller adults or tweens, this is a very good choice.

I spoke to an Airwalk rep and was informed that spare parts are not available (hence the 30 day warranty period that Amazon honors). Buyer beware!
