Razor A5 Prime Scooter

Testers were impressed with how Razor has stepped up their game when it comes to quality and design in the scooter market. The A5 Prime Scooter is a reflection of that effort.

Prime Climb

Prime Climb

The beauty is that the fun and competition disguises the educational component, which teaches kids how to best use numbers and operators to win.
