The Razor company out of the USA have been making scooters for about 9 years now. They have acquired a solid reputation for producing great little motor and push style scooters. They have even branched to protective gear, such as helmets and knee and elbow guards. The main look of the scooters tends to be fairly simple, in that it is simply wheels attached to a frame and a thin floorboard for the rider to stand. However the latest release is a slight departure from this 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.

But first, let’s learn some of the background information. The vespa scooter was designed by the Italian bike maker Piaggio at the end of the Second world war. It was designed as a cheap and efficient mode of transport, in a country with a battered economy and infrastructure, a proved to be very successful.

It soon became a success in other parts of Europe, especially in the big cities where there was a need for a cheap and agile vehicle to negotiate traffic. It was even chosen to be a key part of a youth cultural movement in the United Kingdom. Mods were a youth subculture of the mid 1950’s through to the 1960’s. They were defined by the music they listened to, the clothes they wore and the desire to ride a Vespa or Lambretta scooter.

They often customized the scooter to include extra windshields, lights and mirrors. They would also paint and decorate them in the typical Mod two tone color scheme too.

So the Razor Pocket Mod Electric scooter is a homage to the Vespa or Lambretta designed scooter. The Razor description of this scooter explains it as a Euro style of scooter, which basically means it looks like a Vespa or Lambretta.

It has the similar shape such that the rider has an upright and forward facing aspect. Feet are planted on a wide floorboard. The engine resides under the seat and has a cowling to protect it and the rider. 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.

An electric motor is the source of power. It is easy to ride, having no gears but it does have variable, rider controlled acceleration. The motor uses an electric battery which can be charge from a wall socket in a couple of hours. A full charged battery will give the rider an hour of constant riding.

The idea for active kids is an electric pocket mod scooter including Vapor scooter
