Razor E-300 VS Cruza XR500

Okay, your kids have decided that they want an electric scooter. Obviously you have no choice but to get one or risk getting a dark look or pouting face, and to us parents that's our Kryptonite.

So - Which darn scooter do you get them? Well, we've tested the Razor E-300 against the Cruza XR500 and we're still in two minds, but here's what we found.

At first glance the scooters look very different - The Razor has a higher ride height than the Cruza meaning that the Razor is going to be going over pavements and speed bumps much easier. Although the certain parts on the Cruza look a little more sturdy, especially the brakes and handlebars.
As far as price goes, the Razor seems to be selling at around R300 to R400 more than the Cruza, so for those with a tight budget the Cruza is going to be the obvious choice.
Strangely enough the Cruza has a more powerful motor than the Razor so this might be a deciding factor if your kids are thrill seekers and faster is better.
The Cruza has got 3 batteries as opposed to the Razor's 2, so we think this is probably going to mean a longer riding time (but more batteries to replace later...eeek!)

Right, these scooters are pretty similar but we think that overall the Cruza XR500 is going to be more bang for your buck, with the Razor following close behind.
