The Razor e325 Electric Scooter


Looking for a new electric scooter? 'My son has been begging me for over a month to get me an electric scooter and it's not even a bad idea of him ;) I've been doing my research on these scooters and found out that the Razor E325 provides the best specifications for now and for in the future. So, I've bought him this scooter and see here my quick review of it.

In my research I've found that Currie eZip and Razor E325 have electric scooters for kids and they have easily dominated the electric kids scooter market by keeping their products well priced and well built. I've decided to get the Razor E325 and so far it's turned out to be a great gift for my son! 

The Razor e325 Electric Scooter is no exception to the Razor reputation. This scooter is Razor's top of the line electric scooter. It has a long battery life which everyone loves, it is well built, reaches top speeds of about 15 miles per hour and overall is a quality built electric scooter. This electric scooter is great for teens and adults.

The maximum weight load is 220 lbs. It will go about 15 mph on flat ground for about 40 minutes. It is a great economical way to get around. The price hovers around $300 but it is well worth the cost. This by far is one of the best electric scooters on the market.

Here's What You Get for $300
  • Easy Hand-operated Front Brake System
  • Ten inch pneumatic tires that are extra wide.
  • Handle bars that fold for easier storage
  • 24V (two 12V) sealed lead acid battery system
  • A Kickstand that retracts
  • 250 W Powerful Motor

Consumer Reviews

Out of 15 consumers that left reviews for the Razor e325 Electric Scooter there was not one complaint about performance. Everyone offered up 5 stars under a 1-5 star review system. One consumer wished that the battery was larger to increase the range but that was the only thing that was reported about this electric scooter that was not completely positive. I've bought a second set of batteries when I bought the scooter and therefore there is always one set fully charged. When my son is using the scooter, the second battery pack is on the charger and can be swapped out by himself when needed.

Some Cautionary Notes

15 MPH may not sound like you are going fast but it is pretty fast for an electric scooter. This is a great model but it is made for smooth surfaces like driveways and sidewalks. It like most electric scooters does not handle well on other types of terrain.

Wearing a helmet while you are utilizing this scooter is pretty much mandatory, it does not take much to be knocked off an electric scooter so head protection is very important. Wearing knee pads and elbow pads is also a very good idea.

It takes about 12 hours of being plugged in to fully charge the Razor e325 Electric Scooter so be sure that you have an area to charge your scooter if you are going to use it to get back and forth to work. This is not a kids toy this is meant for teenagers and adults. It is a powerful scooter that is adult size so if you are looking for an electric scooter for your kid this is not it!

Electric scooters are a great way to get around especially for city living. They are economical and earth friendly modes of transport and since the Razor e325 Electric Scooter (wiki) easily folds up it is easy to take on public transport if you have to! It is a great fun ride for both teenagers and adults. The cost is a little high but it is worth the expense when I see my kids riding with his friends in the neighbourhood. 

And that my son is having fun, see him enjoying it and be a great kid, is the best!

My Top 5 Best Electric Kids Scooters

Every time I go for a ride on my motorcycle, my son has been interested in riding as well. Of course, he's still way too young but I'm sure that one day we can ride together!

For the last few years, he's been enjoying his kick scooter a lot but a few friends have an electric scooter and he's asking (begging) me to buy one for him as well. I think he can handle an electric scooter and it will be a nice step towards a motorized scooter in a couple of years. I'm not afraid that he won't move anymore since he's a very sporty boy and not sitting in front of his pc or game computer all the time. I've been doing some research of the best electric scooters and I've come up with a top 5. See whether you agree or maybe you have another model for me to check and add to this list. 

The best electric children's scooters all have one thing in common! They are fun! Why would you want to buy your kid an electric scooter? The fun factor is high and they are a great way for them to get around. They are completely safe, they are eco friendly and they are relatively inexpensive.

Electric kids scooters are easy to operate and made especially for children and young adults. The sizes are ideal for kids, the speed ratio is ideal and overall they are a great gift idea.

Razor and Currie Take the Lead

Razor and Currie have quite a few models of electric scooters and all of the models have different driving ranges and top speeds. They are well made and are geared to different age ranges so making the right choice for your kid is easy.

Razor electric scooters

Razor offers three models specifically that easily make the best electric kids scooters list. The following three models are in the top 5 model list for kids scooters.
  • eSpark is ideal for younger kids. The top speed is about 10 mph which can reduce the risk of falls for the new rider. The eSpark is suggested for new riders ages 8 and up but they can easily accommodate children as young as 6. The sparks which can be activated with the special pedal is fantastic for children.
  • E200 is ideal for older kids. It has a maximum weight load of 220 pounds and a maximum speed of 12 mph. This is a great option for the 12 plus set and even for younger kids that have some riding experience.
  • E325 is a powerhouse! This is great for the 12 and up age group that has some experience. It offers everything that the E200 offers AND a more powerful motor that can reach speeds of 15 mph. The E325 is not for the little kids under the age of 12 because it is a powerful electric scooter and can easily get away from a little kid. The E325 also has a maximum weight load of 220lbs. It is a great option for older teens or young adults.
Curries Technologies electric scooters
  • The Currie eZip 500 is a popular model as well and makes it to the top 5 best electric kids scooters list BUT it really is not for little kids; it is for teens and young adults. What makes this a stand out model is that the front suspension offers up a much smoother ride. It also has a powerful engine that can reach speeds of 15 mph. It is a well built scooter that has a range of about 12 miles. It can carry up to 260 pounds. The tires are a generous 12 inches. The cost reflects the “extras”.

  • Currie also offers a Nano eZip model that is less faster than the eZip 500 at 12 MPH it is a truly practical way for kids to get around. Just like some of the other electric kids scooters models this has a fully padded seat. It is recommended for children 13 years of age and up. 
So this is my top 5 list of electric scooters. Since I want my son to use it for quite a few years, I want to get him something decent and not just a toy which will boring in a weeks time. Therefore I'm thinking of buying the Razor E325 for him. Of course I need to get a helmet for him and maybe new protection. If you have any thoughts or other recommendations, please let me know! Thanks!
