If you had been born within the ‘90s and spent your formative years in the early aughts, you probably zoomed around your neighborhood on the iconic Razor scooter. A couple of decades later, Razor is reviving its original scooter model so that grown-up ‘90s kids can feel like a kid again as they skip the bus on their way to work.

First launched back in 2000, the Razor A scooter was immediately a must-have and sold millions of units the first year it hit the market. Scooters were far from a new idea when the Razor A was introduced, but at the time skateboarding had been enjoying a boom in popularity (Tony Hawk famously landed his 900 at the X Games in 1999), and as cool as the sport had become, skateboarding still had a steep learning curve. The Razor A was much easier to learn to ride (you didn’t even must know methods to trip a motorbike), and along with sturdy wheels much like what you’d discover on inline skates, it additionally featured a intelligent folding design that made it extremely transportable. You might trip your Razor to the mall, after which stash it (albeit awkwardly) in a backpack.

Visit any skate park within the nation, and you might discover extra children on Razor-like scooters than skateboards as of late. So, to capitalize on the continued reputation of the toy—in addition to retro nostalgia—Razor is resurrecting the unique Razor A as the brand new Razor Icon that’s now supersized to accommodate grownup riders hoping to recapture their youth.

The Razor Icon continues to be comprised of aircraft-grade aluminum, so it ought to simply survive sick stunts, nevertheless it’s uncertain that 30-year-olds who grew up with the toy are planning to spend a day on the skate park. So along with a bigger adult-compatible body, the Razor Icon additionally features a 350-watt motor powering the rear wheel that permits the electrical scooter to hit speeds as much as 18 miles per hour with a variety of about 18 miles on a full cost of its 36-volt lithium-ion battery. (That vary might differ relying on the terrain and variety of hills you sort out in your trip.)

The stable rubber wheels of the Razor A have been changed with 8.5-inch airless tires right here to assist clean out rides, whereas security options embody a headlight and crimson LEDs within the again that illuminate when the brakes are utilized. But the largest distinction between the unique Razor A and the brand new Razor Icon is that you would be able to’t stroll into your native Toys “R” Us to purchase one. Not solely is the once-popular toy chain principally lifeless, however Razor is launching the Icon by way of a Kickstarter campaign first, with supply set for someday in August for the earliest backers.

Those who again the Razor Icon first can make the most of early-bird pricing and get one for $549 in one among 5 completely different colours, whereas pricing jumps as much as $599 when the primary 125 are claimed. The eventual MSRP when the Icon hits shops will likely be a bit greater than that (Razor guarantees the worth tag will nonetheless be underneath $1,000) and can hopefully embody expanded availability because the Razor Icon’s Kickstarter availability, sadly, seems to be restricted to the U.S. solely.
