Razor A Scooters – The Original

The original ‘A’ scooter was, and still is, the quintessential scooter for everyday use. When Razor came out with this scooter, they set out to create a scooter that was light-weight yet durable, safe, and easily transported when not in use. To achieve this, they did three things that hadn’t been done before in the world of scooters.

Aircraft Grade Aluminum

First, they used aircraft grade aluminum to create the body of the scooter. Aircraft grade aluminum is a light-weight material that is easily formed to create the t-bar and deck of the scooter. Other scooters at the time were typically made of a low-grade steel. By using aircraft grade aluminum, Razor was also able to make the ‘A’ scooter very durable since aircraft grade aluminum is very strong and doesn’t rust like steel.

Razor A Scooters – The A2

The ‘A2’ was the second iteration of Razor A scooters. The A2 was very similar to its predecessor, but with a couple of added features. While it still had the patented features of the rear fender brake and folding design, the A2 added a rear wheelie bar and a spring-less shock system for added safety and comfort.

Razor A scooters are all highly rated and the A2 is no exception. You can read the reviews for the A2 here. The A2 has the same metal body as the original, but has six different accent colors with matching colors on the foam handles, deck graphics, and wheels. You can see all six of them here.

Razor A Scooters – The A3

The ‘A3’ model of ‘A’ scooters from Razor only made minor adjustments to the prior versions, but, one of those adjustments proved to transitional to the future of the scooter lineup. Prior models of Razor A scooters had 98MM diameter wheels, which is slightly larger than 3 1/4 inches. With the introduction of the A3 model, Razor increased wheel size to 125MM, which is just under 5 inches. This change in wheel size allowed Razor to make further changes to the lineup with future models to allow larger riders to use their products. Along with the change in wheel size in the A3, Razor also redesigned the wheelie bar to account for the larger wheels.

Razor A Scooters – The A4

The ‘A4’ scooter from Razor is actually a re-designed pro scooter built on the ‘A’ frame. This scooter has 98MM wheels like the Original A and A2, but adds high speed bearings that are a must for pro riders or kids with more skills and experience. Razor also made the A4 with a heavier duty aluminum body that makes it more durable to handle the needs of pro riders. Since the body is more durable, the weight limit also increased significantly to 220 Lbs. The A4 is perfect for older kids looking for a performance scooter. By the way, here’s our list of some of the best stunt/trick scooters available.

Another great feature of the A4 is the adjustable handle bar which increases in height as needed for kids as they grow. For more information and to see reviews, click here.

Razor A Scooters – The A5

With the introduction of the ‘A5’, Razor changed up how they marketed their scooter models. Sub-models were introduced with the A5 which allowed Razor to maintain the ‘A’ brand and framework but also differentiate the product lines to provide more specialized options. We have not gone into each of the sub-models in this post; however, we did highlight some of the major changes to the overall design of Razor A scooters that started with the A5.

A major upgrade in the design of the A lineup starting with the A5 is the increase in wheel size to 200MM, which is just under 8 inches in diameter. Similar to the wheel change in the A3, this larger wheel increased the weight limit to 200 lbs. and allowed for taller riders. In fact, after the A3, Razor changed the lineups so that the next generation of A scooters would be designed for either larger riders or specialized needs for tricks and professional riders.

Also starting with the A5 sub-models, the style of the scooters changed and would now feature different looks like wheel design and color schemes instead of the standard chrome aluminum with different colored handles, deck tape, and wheels. We have listed the available A5 models below and the design styles are clearly evident.

Razor A Scooters – The A6

The last of the Razor A scooters is the ‘A6’ model. This model comes with a few differences from the prior ones. Wheels are the biggest difference as the A6 offers the largest ones of any of the Razor A scooters. The wheels on the A6 are a whopping 254 MM or 10 inches! Wheels this large really make the A6 stand out.

The other standout feature of the A6 is the length of the extendable T-bar. As with the other scooters in the A lineup, the A6’s T-bar can extend upward to set the correct height for different size riders. Extending the T-bar of the A6 to it’s fullest sets the bar at 42″ high, which is the highest available height for any of the A models. An extension bar this high allows makes the A6 the most accommodating scooter for the tallest riders. The A6 also has an extended deck for more foot room when riding.
