Basics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here are some of the basics you should know about the Razar E200.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unboxing, assembly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"razor<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The scooter comes in a half-assembled state in a plain brown box. Folding capability varies by version, newer ones typically have a folding mechanism, and older ones don’t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If it doesn’t fold, expect a large box. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The scooter is well-protected with foam and bubble wrap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Connect the handlebar by inserting and tightening screws. Adjust the brake lever to the rider’s hand position. Fully charge the scooter before riding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

User manual<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"razor<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The package includes the latest Razor E200 user manual tailored to your scooter model. It’s crucial to read or at least scan it for important details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though text-heavy, the manual features helpful illustrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Performance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here are some of the performance aspects of the Razor E200.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Motor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"motor<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Razor E200 comes with a chain-drive motor with 200 Watts of power (which is how it gets the name), situated inside of the deck, with the chains attached to and moving the rear wheel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A rear-drive motor enhances torque and overall scooter performance. Unlike most electric scooters with hub motors, Razor scooters feature chain-drive motors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While chain-drive motors introduce an additional potential point of failure and require chain maintenance, they offer the advantage of performance customization by adjusting chains or sprockets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, chain-drive motors tend to be more energy-efficient compared to most hub-drive motors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speed<\/h3>\n\t\t

The official top speed of the Razor E200 is 12 mph \/ 19 kmh. In the real world, the top speed is either 11 mph \/ 17 kmh or 12 mph \/ 19 kmh. The scooter will easily reach those speeds unless the battery is less than half full or the rider’s weight is close to the weight limit.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Range<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"a<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The claimed range of the Razor E200 should be 8 mi \/ 12.8 km, or 45 minutes of ride time, according to Razor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Owner reports largely confirm this range, although you will probably get slightly less if the rider is close to the weight limit or if you ride uphill a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If this range isn’t enough for you, check out my guide on the best long-range electric scooters<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Climbing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The scooter’s torque is impressive, enabling surprisingly good climbing for its low cost. While steeper hills pose a challenge, routine inclines are manageable, especially for riders within the weight limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although Razor doesn’t specify a climb angle, user reports suggest the scooter handles slopes of at least 10\u00b0 with ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When my nephew was driving this scooter he could easily climb the hills that were around 10\u00b0 to 12\u00b0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
