Razor Vapor Scooter – Back in Black, Super Cool Electric Scooter
The Razor Vapor scooter is the black version of the ever popular Pocket
Mod electric scooter. There are quite a few color schemes to tickle your fancy. The popular colors are black,
pink, mint, mauve and red. Only the black and pink versions have actual names (which must say something about their
popularity or maybe they were the first models released). The pink version is called Sweet Pea. The black one goes
by the name Vapor.
I'm not sure what the name vapor actually means or what they are trying to say about the person that goes for a
vapor scooter. It's quite an action oriented word. It suggests speed and stealth so black might be an apt color.
And black is also a good color to hide dirk and any wear and tear.
So with this said, I would say that the black vapor pocket mod scooter is aimed at boys. It's a
boys toy (just as the pink scooter is firmly aimed at girls). And even though
the name suggests speed and stealth, it's specification is exactly the same as the other models.
It is designed as a replica of the classic Vespa scooter. The shape is very similar in that it has the front
fairing, the engine cowling cover and the same seating arrangement as the traditional Vespa scooter. It even has
many things that the Vespa has, such as the centrally located stand for when the scooter is parked up. There is a
pop up seat which reveals storage space for a packed lunch, drink bottle or a bike helmet.
The Razor Vapor scooter is powered by a single speed electric motor. This is controlled
by the standard handle bar throttle that is normal for motorbikes and scooters. It can get a maximum of 15
mph out of the motor. The motor requires a battery to operate. This battery can be recharged from a wall socket
(wall adapter is supplied with the scooter). The adapter fits into a plug in on the seat of the scooter. A few
hours charging will give you a fully charge battery that can power the scooter for around an hour.
It has disk brakes that are controlled by handlebar brake levers. There is a good suspension and pneumatic 12
inch rubber tires. This means that riding the Vapor scooter will be a pretty comfortable affair, even if you are
going off road (well off pavement/sidewalk). It is not really an off road scooter however because the floor board
is fairly low to the ground and can be damaged by rocks or other objects. With this said, it is fine in a garden
and only grass or lawns.
The scooter is aimed at 12 year old children but from comments and reports on the scooter, younger children can
ride it without any problems. It may take a bit of acclimatizing to the Vapor however, especially if it is the
first powered vehicle that the child has driven or ridden on. For instance, a child comfortable with a pedal bike
may have to adapt to controlling the power with their hands rather than with their feet. And the handling will be
slightly different to a push bike as the scooter is heavier and the wheels are wider than most pedal bikes.
