how does it handle for going of curbs or doing tricks I have an original razor scooter that I play around on, like going off curbs or just doing tricks and I was wondering how the razor pro handles impact. The razor I have is fairly old and it doesn't have shocks like some of the newer models, so when you try jumping of walls a couple of feet high and land on your scooter, you don't always make it. On the razor pro, is it light enough to jump the same height as a regular razor scooter? Would I be better off purchasing a razor scooter with front wheel shocks? I'm about 166lbs. and 6'3" and so far the weight limit hasn't been a big deal. Does it really matter how much I weigh? how does it handle for going of curbs or doing tricks I have an original razor scooter that I play around on, like going off curbs or just doing tricks and I was wondering how the razor pro handles... » Read More how does it handle for going of curbs or doing tricks I have an original razor scooter that I play around on, like going off curbs or just doing tricks and I was wondering how the razor pro handles impact.

yeah I doubt it not to many pros can do that and if he was that good than he wouldn't have an a1 thats bull!

ok first of all the razor pro scooter is the best ever. You could go off a ten foot drop and land it. All you have to do is really compress as you hit. The pro is bigger to. front shocks suck there heavy and fall apart. It does not matter if you weigh 166 because it is so durable.

works great super sturdy. it'll last a lot longer than an original a scooter. it might weigh a little more but it doesn't affect how high i jump. i rode a razor with front shocks and the springs fell out so it callapsed on the front wheel and it can't move with my pressure. it depends what kind of rider you are. if you're an aggressive rider that does tricks i highly recommend the pro, but if you just commute on a fairly smooth surface a regular razor will last a little while, but won't last as long as the pro.

Its takes more pressure for doing jumps,curbs, and tricks my son has a A2 and he gets like 5 feet of air and his scooter is basicly brok in half.

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.

I have to admit that I was skeptical at first since I was accustomed to a long handle. After a year of use, I find that I have a light touch with the short handle that has virtually eliminated razor burn. I also find that I have excellent control with the short handle. I hold the handle with two or three fingertips in the middle of the handle. The razor head is heavy enough to do the work for me, so I just guide the razor where it needs to go. The technique takes a little getting used to, but I really prefer the Merkur 34C now. I have large hands, but have no issues with this razor. Hope this helps.

Since this is mostly used by kids I'd say 150lbs or less. It's been used by people at 215lbs and while it works fine, the scooter is made for stunts and more weight means more stress on it. You'd need to check with the manufacturer for specific and legal weight specifications.

It is smaller and the handle is shorter compared to a regular Razor scooter. I'd say the kid should be no more than 5ft tall.... I only bought it bec of the color. But yeah, my kid knew this is aSmaller scooter.

No. I wouldn't recommend this scooter. It's a horrible ride. Screws don't stay tightened and it rattles when riding on it. A razor from Walmart is better then this junk. Way over priced

The scooter is indeed well built and durable. It doesn't glide quite as well as the Razor, but I don't think you would notice unless you went right from one to the other. It may be that the wheels are slightly harder on the Razor, or perhaps the bearings are of better quality, but really the difference is marginal.

This scooter is a great ride for the price. The wheels coast really well and the handle is a good size. Weight rated to 300lbs. I am half that and have no problem jumping it. The only complaint is the deck is short for my feet. About 14in long but it is twice as wide so you can still put both feet on the deck. The other issue is the lock sleeve is plastic. Not really a big issue. The higher versions of the scooter have bigger decks and hand brakes but the same wheels and weight capacity.

The parking brake works as perfectly as the whole scooter. I'm a very hyper adult and have lived my whole life on overdrive (according to my husband). With the scooter, I've had to slow myself down to avoid running over family members, co-workers, pets, and small children. I have not tipped the scooter over one time, and the brake works very efficiently when I need it to. This is one awesome scooter!

Thank you for contacting Dazadi! The 14" Kent Boys Super Scooter has a weight limit of 100 lbs so it would not be a good fit for an adult. The Razor Pro XX Scooter or the Razor A5 Lux Kick Scooter would be best to support adults. Please let us know if you have any additional questions!

The scooter maneuvers like a skateboard, so you turn by leaning not by turning the handles. It dosnt do super sharp turns but I don't ever remember my son complaining that he couldn't get where he wanted to go. Hope that helps.

I'm 250lbs and I ride it. The only difference is it doesn't go as fast and the batteries don't last as long as when my 60lb son rides it. It is a great scooter. You will be happy with it.

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.

It's actually normal sized and lightweight for tricks. It's not really bigger than a regular scooter.

Sorry I can't help you. My scooter only weights about 400 lbs. It handles that weight with no trouble.

It is a very good trick scooter. We had a problem with one of the wheels wearing down but the company replaced it quickly under warranty. We have not had any problem since and my grandson is constantly doing jumps, spins, etc.

Hi Rose - Most Pro style scooters are for ages 8 yrs and up - it will be a bit too big/heavy for your 5yr. Customer Care - Universo Extremo Boards LINK to ALL SCOOTERS:

I liked this scooter because of my weight (it's a heavy duty one, but my wife easily lifted it in and out of our Jeep). I even sat sideways on the seat for short periods to get the pressure off my knee. I had ankle replacement surgery with a large boot up almost to the knee for weeks. Didn't have a hard cast, but a soft cast for a couple of weeks before the boot. Depending on where you live, you could look at medical supply places to see if this type of solid pad or the split pad would work for you. I preferred the solid pad, but didn't have a hard cast. Either way, remember to straighten your knee a lot...scooting on this thing is really easily, but the knee gets tired of the weight of the body on top.
