The Razor company have been producing scooters for close to 9 years now. They have acquired a solid reputation for producing great little motor and push style scooters. They have also started to supply protective equipment for bike and scooter riders, such as helmets. Most scooters tended to be fairly minimalist, in that there was simply a frame, a base and some wheel (oh, and a brake of course). However the latest release is a slight departure from this concept. The Pocket Mod Electric Scooter is a replica of the famous Vespa scooter. This article will detail what the pocket mod scooter is like and to whom it might be appealing.
To begin with, a bit of background. The vespa scooter was developed by the Italian aircraft (turned bike maker) maker Piaggio in post second world war Italy. It was devised as a cheap and efficient way to get around in a country that had been devastated, both financially and structurally by 5 years of war, and went on to be hugely successful.
It soon became a success in other parts of Europe, especially in the big cities where there was a need for a cheap and agile vehicle to negotiate traffic. It even became a youth culture icon in Britain, where the Mod movement embraced the Vespa as their way to get around the. Mods were a youth subculture of the mid 1950's through to the 1960's. They were defined by the music they listened to, the clothes they wore and the desire to ride a Vespa or Lambretta scooter.
They took pride in their scooter by adding extra windshields, lights and mirrors. They would also paint them in distinctive styles too.
So the Razor Pocket Mod Electric scooter is a kid's replica version of this famous Italian scooter design. The Razor description of this scooter explains it as a Euro style of scooter, which basically means it looks like a Vespa or Lambretta.
It has the similar shape such that the rider has an upright and forward facing aspect. Feet are planted on a wide floorboard. The engine resides under the seat and has a cowling to protect it and the rider. The front fairing protects the rider from any air resistance or other things that might get in the way and a light is just below the handlebars. The main attraction of the scooter is the look and styling. I would suggest that it is mainly aimed at girls (especially the sweet pea, pink scooter) but boys may also like to try it out, the age recommendation is 12 years and over.
An electric motor is the source of power. There is no gears but variable acceleration up to a maximum of 15 mph. The motor gets it's power from an electric battery that can be recharged via a wall socket at your home. A full charged battery will supply power for one hour of riding. - 31409
