[@stainlesssteele3824]

Ever heard of a pro scooter

[@omgbikes]

awesome. glad you enjoyed it!

[@skateata1]

I owned an A3 as a teen. Ordered an A5 today. So excited. I love that you used a bottle with beer as a unit of measure.

[@omgbikes]

the a5 is very good. only downside in my opinion is the rattling. americans measure in everything except for the metric system!

[@mgkeoh]

Cool Video. I’m 66 now. Been using Micro-Scooters since 1999.

[@williampalmer646]

Very helpful comparison since I was trying to decide between a5/a6. Thanks!

[@omgbikes]

Glad it was helpful! A6 all the way, but watch out for uneven pavement - it bottoms out very easily.

[@Al-iw9qf]

This was the best and most in depth scooter review that I have seen thus far. Thank you!

[@omgbikes]

thank you!

[@Al-iw9qf]

@@omgbikes your review helped me make my decision on which one to purchase. I got the A6 Razor and it's awsome! Got it for my son. He's 12 and it's something he will have for a while and grow with. I love the way it looks! Had no idea the wheels were that big! Lol. I honestly didn't know there was an A6 until I saw your review. It didn't come up in my searches until I specifically typed in A6! But I got it on Amazon 8/24/20 for $150 with same say shipping. It's kinda high but I didn't care. In the era of Playstation and video games and digital learning, I was glad to get my son excited about going out to play again and get some exercise. Thank you again!

[@omgbikes]

@@Al-iw9qf glad to hear he's enjoying it. yes the wheels are big, but that just makes it roll so much smoother

[@starcruiser75r12]

Hi there, great video. I own the A5 and the A6 and I prefer the A6 because it handles better and gets you further ahead due to the much larger wheels. The only thing I dislike about the A6 is when you unfold the scooter, if you dont screw the knob tight enough to keep the scooter unfolded it will sometimes collapse. Twice this has happened to me so I make sure the knob remains tight and check regularly to see it has not shaken loose. Other than that the A6 is my preferred scooter of choice for longer distances.

[@omgbikes]

thanks. great tips!

[@ulyssess1399]

Best Razor scooter review on KZbin. Heck, best kick scooters review in general. Can’t go wrong with Razor. My first childhood scooter, and glad to say I will be getting the A6 thanks to this review. Commute will be more fun than driving.

[@christinefilas9392]

Anything is more fun than driving. ridiculous prices for insurance, zero insurance on kick. Ridiculous prices on car maintenance and or repair minimal on kick. Being forced to have a drivers license for a car no license for kick . Pig harassment involving extortion ticketing for parking violations, speeding violations the pigs can't touch you on kick. love kick scooters!

[@milkmanrich40ify]

Daughters all have the A5 and love them. Still waiting on my A6 to arrive. Purchased it to keep up with the kids. Could have used this fantastic review awhile back to make my purchase more comfortable but it made me feel better watching your results. Also all our neighborhood speed bumps have tire ruts for fire trucks so no problem there. Thanks again.

[@omgbikes]

thanks for watching. glad it helped. if i never had the opportunity to ride the A6, I would be happy with the A5; however, having ridden both, the A6 is a pretty significant step up in quality. no my wife is mad at me for getting her the A5 first

[@fearce139]

Hi, As you are an owner of both A5 and A6 - i've got both too with a view to return one, I however am concerned about the brake power being low to non existent compared to the A5 - how do you find them in comparison for braking?

[@Deetroiter]

Wanted to try something new (older adult) and decided to pick up the A5 with the orangish red wheels. Talk about a lot of fun! Very nimble and cruises along nicely once you get moving. In your video you show the A5 having some play in the folding mechanism, I can definitely hear it when riding the scooter. Can hear the clacks and noise when going over any imperfections. I thought maybe it was a defective unit but watched other videos and they all did the same thing. No big deal for me, the fun and ease of use makes up for the noises.

[@oscareufracio5156]

Very good comparative, I’ve made my decision for the A6 because of this video, I’m from Mexico City and I can’t wait to test it by my own

[@rogelio1381]

Paisano , how you like it so far ?

[@DiegoLopez-ii7ve]

How it went? Tomorrow I got mine , so excited to use it

[@oscareufracio5156]

@ it went really well, enjoy it

[@ITM95]

This was an extremely helpful review! I’m going to get the A5!

[@omgbikes]

thanks - how did it go?

[@julo514]

An actual helpful video. Thank you.

[@SonicBoyster]

If anybody is still lurking around these videos, I've got a question for you. I had an A5 Lux I drove into the ground and have now moved to an A6. The A5 Lux had different handling than the A6 and I'm trying to figure out what the difference is. The A5 felt like it wanted to go forward. If I was riding forward there was some resistance when I tried to turn left and right. I don't mean that it was hard to turn, more like the wheel "settled" in the forward position and didn't want to wobble around after that. This made it very stable, and I could drive the thing with one hand if I needed to. The A6 feels incredibly squirrely in comparison, where if I don't have two hands on the handlebars it could swing right or left at any moment. I know you can 'tighten' the steering but it just doesn't feel the same. Am I missing something? Is it different, or do I just need to adjust it more?

[@janellegodin2934]

Thank you for the review and having your wife try them out as well. My kid wants a new scooter and I'm comparing the a5 and a6. I think this video has allowed me to make a decision.

[@IAmLeePeace]

Just what I needed to know! Thank you for this review! It helped more then you know!

[@omgbikes]

You are so welcome!

[@venomenoide]

Really nice video with all those comparisons, i own a razor A5 but i'm thinking on buying the A6 moslty to travel from home to the bus stop and then to work and back It was very very informative

[@omgbikes]

Glad I could help

[@christinefilas9392]

it would be so awesome if everyone would decide to scoot instead of drive cars

[@khxliakhxlia3605]

Is the A5 not good for that?

[@j2calder]

Thank you for this excellent comparison video. Truly invaluable information here for last minute X-Mas shoppers, haha!

[@omgbikes]

Glad it was helpful!

[@p14u5h]

Great video, appreciate detailed explanation. Can you provide the max height of A3 handle from the platform? Just trying to know if it is the same as A or more.

[@gudepop1974]

Great video. Just what i was looking for.

[@snooyyy]

love your comparison! just bought a A6 from your link:))) thanks!

[@amandawilliams3174]

Love the beer bottle comparison👍🏻👍🏻

[@mgkeoh]

If only all video’s were like this. It would be great.

[@EzerT1]

lmao . the bottle of beer as a comparison tho. great video

[@OzzyCzech]

Thanks. Very helpful comparasion! Glad that you did not fall on speed bumper :)

[@andyben87]

Wow excellent comparison! Thanks Use to own a cyclone rush when I was 12 back in 99. Now I'm 33 looking at one to use LOL Like the A5, thanks

[@omgbikes]

Right on!

[@royjonesjr1117]

Yeah were some old fucks now i remember those days my favorite Christmas gift was a razor back in 2000 wow time goes by so fast i just bought the A6 im so anxious to ride it

[@royjonesjr1117]

Just got it today WOOOW ima a kid again this is crazy

[@wegder]

Early in the pandemic my granddaughter was still riding her micro mini, I bought a cheap scooter about the size of an A5. It worked ok but I ordered an A5 for the quality, after a month or so I ordered an A6,, it is nice we have fun together.

[@omgbikes]

we followed the same path

[@christinefilas9392]

I'll be a solo rider, but I intend to leave my mark on this Texas burb .Already have my nickname picked out "kickazz"

[@marksallai2289]

A6 great scooter had over 2 years now - it is fast and glides well - great for commuting to work - I wish more adults would use them 59 here - I get filmed by people D - will do some tours soon - I prefer manual push scooter due to exercise and balance - electric would remove that - only issues I had was rattling from the stem nut which just need tightening and the the screw in lock can loosen with vibration but it gets better as The scooter wears in a bit over time including the wheel brakes better too - but except when ridden in the wet be careful and metal drain covers

[@nickolasjohnson4321]

Thanks for the great review. I need a scooter to run back and forth from my work vehicle and the hills are kinda gnarly lol. I loved this blog and just wanted to mention when you ride turn your front foot perpendicular so you can have both feet on the platform of the scooter deck, so your back foot heel can just easily rest on the break. Anyways take care and thanks again

[@aeroyoungirl]

Thank you so much! I needed to see whats the scooters worked like IRL, I'm in need of one for urban short distances and was unsure on how this brand worked or if it was even worth it

[@BENfromSUNDIAL]

Thank for making this! I just impulse-bought a StreetRunner Dart and wanted to see how it compares, after having the original Razor back when it first came out. Seems like mine is very similar to the A5 with a bit wider board and a front shock that seems pretty amazing. No problem hitting surprisingly big cracks and bumps. I'd like to try the A5 Air and the A6, but it's to bad rhey don't make the A6 in an Air version or all rhe other A5 variations. (But then I see the speed bump as I post this...)

[@claytonlovendale2021]

If you approach a speed bump at an angle you can avoid the bottling out situation.

[@dotany62]

Bonne revue. Intéressante 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@gottagethoseretro9s]

Great video glad to see the whole family involved.👍👍👍👍

[@omgbikes]

Thanks 👍

[@robertb.3651]

A5 definitely for me - much easier folding mechanism without the knob. If you don't tighten the knob properly it can collabs which can be very dangerous!

[@toptensviewerschoice5204]

I'm looking at a used Razor now to do with my son....it has the big wheels like the A6 you've shown.....can these do jumps or do you need the scooters with the tiny wheels for that?

[@Sarah-gq5jl]

Thnx alot be soo descriptive...I ride bike but been thinking about getting scooter

[@JR-zw2vb]

Thanks! Because my area doesn't repair the bumpy roads so often, I'll might pass the A6 and get something with a suspension and higher platform. (aka cheaper knockoffs). OR get a folding bike... hmm. Hope Razor adds a suspension and a higher platform in the future. I have 3 small wheel scooters (Razors) and two 8 inch wheelers. I've floan multiple times over the smaller wheelers; my kids flipped as well. Friend's kid busted teeth. Duh. When they got the bigger wheels with higher platforms, they aren't dumped over anymore. More leg exercise too!

[@JR-zw2vb]

and also buy a custom grip. better looking and great grips too. They have scooter stands also. Cute little add ons for the little wheels.

[@MaddoxVicRealtor]

What brands were the higher ones?

[@JR-zw2vb]

@@MaddoxVicRealtor got it from Amazon, 12 inch wheels. You can also get Mongoose etc "dirt" scooters from Walmart as well and they have bike inflatable tires (12" I believe), and rides well over bumpy roads.

[@dilemmix]

Thank you very much for this video. Do you find the deck width of the A6 wide enough? I actually like the low deck. I'm 65+ years old and am thinking of buying a comfortable scooter to join my 3 year old granddaughter for rides. We're in Australia and we can get the Razor scooters here, too.

[@yonahuski5728]

Thank you for a very practical review. I now have an A6 on the way so I can join my littles on their A3's.

[@manp1039]

Hi. I am wondering if the headset had any play on the A6. And if so, were you able to resolve that with tightening or changing the berries or?? and how to the headset play compare between the 3 models?

[@timr7238]

Great and helpful video! Really helped me with my decision. Thanks and take care

[@sweetbrownsuga504]

Great review, very helpful. I am about to order one for my daughter but now I want one lol

[@ITM95]

I had one of the basic Razor scooters growing up... I really want to get one again

[@cho2jzfe90]

Im thinking of buying an a6. Are the decks on the a5/6 pretty solid? I ride a swagtron push scooter as a daily commuter and the aluminum deck likes to flex alot, kinda scary going down hill when the tail flexes left and right giving the scooter a rear wheel steering feeling lol.

[@joeh773]

Excellent vid, thank you very much for sharing and all the effort that went into it. One thing I am missing is minimum handlebar height comparison for all three. I am curious about that because I am wondering if my child could go straight to A5 and skip A3. That way i could borrow it sometimes, like when i am dropping them off at a beach but have to go to park in a distant lot. Already have a threewheeled scooter for her and big one for me that i cannot stow easily in the car, so small enough for her that could carry me would be great addition. Thanks anyway though!

[@omgbikes]

my daughter liked her handlebars very high. kids will get used to anything, so buy what you think makes the most sense and enjoy!

[@sammyhey540]

Sir! The A6 Razor scooter comes with a kick stand. It’s tiny one on left side right behind front wheel! Razor sent you a defective one or they forgot to ship it!

[@Entropic_Nightmares]

I got the A6 razor not to long ago and I wish I could buy longer handles that could click into place as it would allow for more stability and steering but it looks like nobody offers any without replacing the whole bar and handles which it's too bad. It would be nice to have extra play in the steering and also having hands out wider giving more control over balance with arms. Perhaps one day razor can sell more accessories for the A6.

This was a great comparison review. Thank you. Would have liked to see how heavy it is to carry, once folded.

[@xXEdXx17]

@@omgbikes Hahaha 👍🏼

[@MaddoxVicRealtor]

What was the reason why the A6 was scraping over the speed bump and not on the A5? Is the A5 taller platform than the A6 frame?

[@lawangus]

The distance between the points of wheels touching the ground is longer.

[@ThaYewTuber]

Should check out the Xootr MG. Has the full size deck and larger wheels. US made with magnesium materials

[@thebarak]

It is hard to judge the height of a speed bump when you come across one. Always lift the front wheel before you hit it, or bunny hop everything if you are rolling fast.

[@omgbikes]

bit sketchy to bunny hop on these - i'm not too far away from the max weight

[@MisterGames]

My wife was apprehensive about folding so she wanted tne non folding carbon lux instead. It has 15 inch space for feet, bottom of deck is about 2 inches and top of deck is a tad shy of 4 inches above the ground. So a little more leg bending to push but still manageable. Cannot go wrong with a Razor.

[@Agumon5]

Damn, I just bought the A6 and I'm going to have to return it. I have a size 14 shoe

[@omgbikes]

I don’t know that many of these types of scooters will accommodate you. You’ll either have to put your foot slanting off to one side, or look at one of the really big wheeled scooters.

For my opinion in the street hump you have to go by slant position to aviod touching the bottom edge..

[@dogfish9797]

Limits 220 lb person, im 225, does A6 feel like it can handle 5 over limit?

[@LAC32Griffin]

Yup it can handle

[@curlyhairdudeify]

I like the A6 better because of the black wheels. I would buy the A5 if the wheels came in black instead of red. I feel like the red wheels call too much attention, while the black ones are more austere.

[@BlueEyes-ii4zz]

My parents bought me a razor scooter when I was 14. Don't remember which it was it was definitely the original had the rear wheel break. Never used it was never interested. I still wonder today at 36 years old if my parents still have the thing in its original box somewhere at their house.

Any scooter would you recommend for someone that’s 5’11 or 6 feet. Really want one but don’t want to buy one that’s short

[@omgbikes]

if you're considering the Razor scooter type - the A5 or A6 would fit you fine. A6 would be better, but again, the ground clearance is something to be mindful of.

[@77057206631113]

[@glasss1978]

Great video thank you so much. I'm in the UK and nobody seems to sell the A6 any longer so it took me some time to be able to order it. I wonder if they discontinued it and upgraded the A5 to Lux instead? Someone mentioned the brake on the A6 is not that great - hope it's not true.

[@omgbikes]

A6 still on Razor's website, so I don't think they discontinued. My brake is working fine. Enjoy it!

[@glasss1978]

@@omgbikes turns out they can't keep up with the demand... my order was cancelled, because they are out of stock too. This was the main UK distributor who supplies the big chains and the guy said stock is coming only in December, at the moment all they produce in China is going to the US market. :/ Not sure if I want to wait till December or start researching for a big wheel alternative.

[@omgbikes]

@@glasss1978 interesting. i would have thought the big rush was over and inventory would be coming available more freely. maybe time to buy some razor stock instead of scooters. lol.

[@ShawnJonesHellion]

You didn't cover how you felt the "suspension" was. That being for kids? Probably the overall thing was not fitted to you. I assume a real suspension would definitely help. How long before the wheels grind down? I see your lady was using the back fender as a brake as well an you didn't cover that. I'm interested in how the plastic an rubber an jiggling metal areas an wheels have held up after weeks or years. One other thing. I have fork at the wheel adjustment (the large final nut in the handlebar before base+wheel) that if I tighten the wheel doesn't move easy. But it's kinda loose nut if I don't. That's why I'm looking at these vids.

[@motojunkie8348]

Nice video. A specific question that I would appreciate a view on - I have both the A5 Lux and and A6, with a view to only keeping one. I have noticed that the brakes on the A6 are near non existent when compared to the A5, is this normal or do I have a defective one?

[@omgbikes]

i don't recall the brakes on the a6 being significantly worse than the a5. i wonder if you rode over some grease or oil and contaminated the fender brake. i recommend you check the brake area and clean with something like rubbing alcohol to see if it would improve things.

[@fearce139]

@@omgbikes hi there, thanks. No dont think so, not been out yet

[@omgbikes]

@@fearce139 oh, that's interesting. i will say that when the wheels are brand new they are a bit slick, so that will affect braking. after scrubbing them in, traction and braking both improve.
