The Razor company out of the USA have been making scooters for about 9 years now. They have garnered a solid reputation for good quality push and motor scooters. They have also moved into bike wear and protective gear, including helmets, knee and elbow guards and other items. The main look of the scooters tends to be fairly simple, in that it is simply wheels attached to aframe and a thin floorboard for the rider to stand. However the new release of scooter is a bit of a change from the familiar concept. The Pocket Mod Electric Scooter is a replica of the famous Vespa scooter. This article will outline what the pocket mod scooter is all about and who it might appeal to.

Let's start at the beginning with a bit of contextual knowledge. The vespa scooter was developed by the Italian aircraft (turned bike maker) maker Piaggio in post second world war Italy. It was devised as a cheap and efficient way to get around in a country that had been devastated, both financially and structurally by 5 years of war, and went on to be hugely successful.

It soon became popular in other parts of Europe, mainly because it was cheap and reliable when puvblic transport was considered unreliable. It even became a cultural icon in some places, such as in the UK where it became the transport of choice for the Mod movement. Mods were a youth subculture of the mid 1950’s through to the 1960’s. They were defined by their choice of music, dress sense and the way they rode around on Vespa or Lambretta scooters.

They were noted for customizing their scooters with extra windshields, lights and mirrors. They would also paint them in distinctive styles too.

So the Razor Pocket Mod Electric scooter is a chance for your children to ride a replica Vespa or Lambretta scooter. The description of the scooter describes it as Euro style and this is obvious when you compare it to the Vespa.

It has the similar shape, with the rider sitting upright on a large seat, looking forward. Feet rest on a floorboard. The engine is under the seat and is covered by a cowling. The front fairing protects the rider from any air resistance or other things that might get in the way and a light is just below the handlebars. The main attraction of the scooter is the look and styling. I would suggest that it is mainly aimed at girls (especially the sweet pea, pink scooter) but boys may also like to try it out, the age recommendation is 12 years and over.

It uses an electric motor for power. It is fairly straighforward to ride as there are no gears, just an accelerator handle up to a maximum of 15 mph. The motor gets it's own power from an electric battery that is easy to recharge by pluging the bike into a wall socket at home. A full charged battery will provide up to one hour of continuous riding.
