Is the Razor EcoSmart Metro HD worth it?

It is a good fit if you want a seated scooter for short flat trips and don't need to carry it. If you need long range or portability, a lighter lithium scooter costs more but serves better.

How fast and how far does it really go?

Razor rates it at up to 15.5 mph and up to 12 miles or 60 minutes. Expect less range with hills, headwind, cold weather or a heavier rider.

Can it carry an adult?

Yes. The max rider weight is 220 lb, and the steel frame and seat are built for adult riders. It is not designed for two people.

How long does the battery take to charge?

The 36V sealed lead-acid pack typically needs several hours for a full charge. Lead-acid packs also lose capacity over time and are heavier than lithium.

Does it fold or fit in a car trunk?

It is about 73 lb and does not collapse small, so lifting it into a trunk is awkward. It is better stored at ground level.

Our take on the Razor EcoSmart Metro HD

The Razor EcoSmart Metro HD is a seated electric scooter with a steel frame, a 350-watt rear hub motor and 16-inch pneumatic tires. It tops out at 15.5 mph and runs up to 12 miles or 60 minutes on a 36V sealed lead-acid pack. The step-through deck and seat make it a relaxed commuter rather than a stand-up scooter. It is heavy at about 73 lb, so it suits short flat trips and riders who want to sit rather than balance.
