how does it handle for going of curbs or doing tricks: On the razor pro, is it light enough to jump the same height as a regular razor scooter?

From what I can tell. I am 6 feet 217 pounds and ride this thing very well. My kids have A2's and the difference is big. The pro is made stronger and has a thicker tube clamp for tricks. The weight is about the same. Amazon does have the best price on the net for the Pro. Get it you won't be disappointed.

The non-pro models tend to max out at 143 lbs. This too, has the same limits. Reference from the official manufacturing webiste here: http://www.razor.com/products/kick-scooters/wild-style/

My 7 year old boy rides it just fine... and my 13 year old son has also puttered around on it. The 7 year old actually prefers it over his Razor scooter (to our surprise!). Be aware, though - the handle bars are a SET height - no raising or lowering like you can on the Razor.

I bought this for my 6 year old grandson and he loves it. He couldn't really balance on a "razor", but he can zip around the cul-de-sac with his friends. I'm hoping he will learn to balance on this Maxi Micro Kick scooter. It turns by leaning.

It can be used manually but not well because it's much heavier than a regular scooter and will not very fast. It definitely helps to have some experience with a regular razor. For our younger child, we started by running next to her holding it.

As long as you are on a smooth surface, the scooter works fine. I tried it on a boardwalk last summer and it was not very steady because of the uneven surface of the boards. I have not tried it on uneven ground.

I use my kids scooter (like this one) and I am older than 40 ;)If you plan on doing tricks, or need a heavier duty scooter, look at the Shaun White Scooter, although the handlebars come at a lower fixed length.

I have found it does well in tight places.It is so light you can pick it up and put it where you want IF need be. Shave had mine for a year and have no complaints.

i would think it all depends on how fast a razor electric scooter can go. i use my ramps for rc truck racing, but my vehicles go up to 50 mph. if the scooter would make it over the ramp, it would be a hard landing, because i think scooters have solid rubber or plastic wheels.

as an adult the razor is way too small for me, when I hop on one its so small I feel very unstable, I see the kids have no problem with the razors at all. Several kids on my block ride them around everywhere and they are perfect, for them. Me being 6ft 190lbs, the xooter is more my size and very stable. I ride all the time with my 5 year old daughter and race the kids up and down driveways on our couldesac, and dont have problems, I usually woop them in races. I dont use the hand brake too often. Dont get too caught up in the mechanics of a scooter. The razors are excellent for children and young teens and the xooter is an excellent choice for adults. as an adult the razor is way too small for me, when I hop on one its so small I feel very unstable, I see the kids have no problem with the razors at all.

i disagree. i had problems getting up steep hills with this scooter so i returned it. i am a 180 lb man and this scooter is not designed for adults who go long distances or up steep hills.

EXTREMELY!!!! I bought it for my nephew and he took it straight to the skate park. He ( and many others) did all kinds of tricks, jumps, and a few falls. The entire scooter is very well built! And that includes the bars!!

I'm 6' and was about 215lb when I got mine, and it was never an issue. I've been really happy with it. My daughter was 4 last year and used an off the shelf toy scooter, but I'm thinking of getting her her own Razor so we can start a gang and terrorize the neighborhood ;)

The Razor looks sized for a kid 4 foot tall. Everyone will ride it though because it's fun to ride. heavier adults will find the suspension bottoming out occasionally.

I think tricks may be a little difficult as it is heavy and has big wheels. my son likes doing tricks with the regular small razor but not this big one. but it really is great for dirt riding

The brakes on this scooter don't lock. I've tried scooters with double back wheels, and I much prefer a single. With a single back wheel, your leg is free to swing. On this unit, the front wheels are widely spaced, so this give you plenty of stability. I've commuted over a mile on this, and I can be almost as speedy as on a bike. It's stable, you can swing your leg freely and get some good speed.

No too small, it's probably best suited for the razor scooters only. I think a bike might crack the ramp. Look for something taller and wider.
