USA Heavyweights! eZip vs Razor...

Weighing in at 55lb and backed by Tevo is the Razor! Aaaand in the other corner we have a fierce contender... the eZip from Currie Technologies! FIGHT! Ding ding ding!

If you're in the market for an electric scooter and you've done some research, then you will have undoubtedly come across these two brands. Both are major players on the field but which is going to be the better contender? Well, I'll just get straight to the point.

Both scooters are tried and tested and there are very few comebacks from these scooters in terms of technical issues - Sure there's flat tubes and loose chains and don't forget dead batteries, but this is going to happen with any scooter eventually.

Here's what sets the scooter brands apart though. Razor is owned and distributed by Tevo, which is an enormous company with a large range of products, so getting parts (especially under warranty) is a mission and time-consuming at best. Scooters isn't the only thing that they do, so naturally it's not going to be the main focus.
In comparison, Currie Technologies is an electric vehicle company, so you are going to get innovative design and more sophisticated parts. The eZip range has a 'plug-and-play' battery functionality so swopping the batteries for a set of charged ones is easy. eZip scooters have also got a much smarter controller - It has a 'sleep mode' that kicks in if the scooter is left switched on and unused for more than 5 minutes. This is going to give some extra life to the scooter's batteries! And, in terms of safety, the eZip scooters have got a variable speed control throttle and slow-start - This means that the scooter handles more like a motorbike but without the sensitive (and dangerous!) throttle.
Oh and one more thing... Currie Technologies is the preferred choice for Mongoose and Schwinn cycles ;)

Okay so this review is a little bias towards Currie Tech but its just obviously the top contender...
