Guide Review - New Razor Scooter Sparks Attention Among Outdoor Toys
This is the first time I've seen a kid fly down the street on a Razor scooter and leave a trail of sparks behind! The new Razor Spark Scooter is definitely an eye-catching outdoor toy. Behind the spoon brake is a bar with flints underneath. Stomp down hard and let the sparks fly!
The sparks look really cool and they're easy to see, both at night and in daylight. All the kids in the neighborhood were clamoring to try it. It went over really well around here and definitely turned heads. It makes a loud grinding noise when the sparks are flying, which can get pretty annoying.
Take away the spark bar and the scooter is just like the Razor scooters you're used to. It has the same smooth ride, slick maneuverability and compact fold.
When the spark bar is applied, the metal contact points can mark sidewalks and driveways, but it would only be an issue after long-term, heavy use. It absolutely cannot be used indoors for that reason.
The scooter comes with an additional spark cartridge and more can be purchased for about $5 apiece.
The Razor Spark Scooter is an outdoor toy recommended for kids 8 and older and has a weight limit of 143 pounds.
