Razor A5 Lux Scooter Review

If you are looking for a new kick scooter, then a Razor brand product is always a good option.  They are made from durable materials and can withstand a lot of frequent use.  When standing on the board, it feels solid, helping you keep your balance without worry.

Razor scooters have always been a good example of a classic scooter and the A5 Lux scooter is no exception. If you used a scooter as a kid, it might remind you of the one you used to have.

If you are trying to find a way to get your kid to go outside more or are looking for another transportation method for yourself, then this scooter can fit those needs. We will get into the specifics below.

Here is what we learned while reviewing the Razor A5 Lux scooter!

Razor A5 Lux Scooter is a Great Work Out

While electric scooters are great as a tool to commute long distances, kick scooters provide an amazing workout. You would not want to use it to travel 10+ miles like an e-scooter, but  this Razor is excellent for working your thighs and calves .

If you are looking for a scooter to get some exercise in, then this model would be a great match. 

Razor A5 Lux Scooter Is Bigger than Other Razors

Another feature that we enjoyed, was that the A5 Lux is larger than other Razor models. It makes it perfect for older kids or even adults. The handlebar is taller and wider for a more comfortable and natural feeling grip. 

The  scooter can also hold up to 220 pounds easily , making it perfect for parents to scoot around after their kids. Even though it is larger, the model is quite lightweight- only weighing 8.5 pounds. This makes it easy to carry and store when you are not using it.

Razors A5 Lux Scooter is Great for Commuting

This scooter is light and folds up easily. You can be comfortable holding it folded up on the bus or shove it into a backpack with the top sticking out. While you might get tired when going long distances, this scooter is still amazing for commuting- and definitely faster than walking. 

The wheels that come with the  scooter are great for gliding longer distances  without needing to push, especially on flat pavement. They are durable too, so you can take it on cracked sidewalks. This makes it versatile to commute in your area, wherever that you live, as it can travel over many different types of sidewalks.

A5 Lux Can be Noisy

There is a screw underneath the scooter that is known to rattle loudly. Luckily, there is an easy way to fix it, if the noise bothers you. Take a piece of tape and a thicker fabric and place it over the bolt underneath the scooter that is on the front end, underneath the handlebar.  Soft velcro, knitted yarn, and other fabrics work well to reduce the noise and rattling. 

This is a minor problem, but we know that some people are bothered by the rattling sounds of scooters or the attention that they can attract. Once you tape something over that screw, you will notice that the handlebar vibrates less during your ride too, making the trip smoother for you.

It Comes Assembled

The fact that this scooter comes pre-assembled is great for those who do not want to take the time putting it together- you can just ride it as soon as you get it out of the box. The folding mechanic is also easy to use. You will feel the handlebar snap into place and it is ready to go.

It also feels sturdy when it is unfolded, so that you do not need to worry about it collapsing in on itself when you take it over bumpy ground. 

Not the Best for Off-Road

This scooter works the best on pavement, which is where most people are expected to use it. The smaller wheels are not good for traveling over dirt or gravel, so sticking to pathways is better with this Razor.

However,  this scooter works amazing on any type of sidewalk, be it brick or cement . It will glide naturally for a long time without a lot of kicks.

You also should avoid water when on this scooter- driving through a puddle will spray mud up your legs and even across your back. This is even worse when you need to brake hard in the middle of a puddle. 

Razor A5 Lux is Great for Adding Accessories

The size of the handlebar is perfect for adding something to hold your phone, a small bell, or a light. There is enough room that you do not feel overcrowded when you add accessories. This is useful for many people who have stated they appreciated the extra space on the bars. 

The handlebar does not jostle enough to knock the extra attachments off, so you can feel safe attaching your cell phone to the scooter. As long as the holder is quality and set up correctly, you can be sure that your phone is not going to fall off the scooter. 

Razor A5 Lux Scooter is Durable

Many customers appreciated the durability of the scooter and the  materials it was made from were stronger than they had expected . The wheels last many, many miles of use before needing to be replaced and the centerboard feels extremely solid when you are standing on it.

The  back brake is also strong and can be used effectively, for both harder and lighter stops . You do not need to worry about it getting damaged.

Final Words on Razor A5 Lux Scooter

The Razor A5 Lux scooter is a durable scooter made from high-quality materials. It is worth the price and makes for an excellent travel tool- whether you just want to use it to scoot around town or plan on using it for frequent commuting.

In short, this is a great kick scooter and has many different uses. You will enjoy taking it out for a spin and look forward to riding it again later.
