Micro Kickboard Micro Mini LED Scooter vs Razor A5 Lux
Which should you buy? Our verdict on both, pulled from our full The Best Kids Kick Scooters: 4 Compared (and One to Skip) comparison.
For the majority of buyers, who are shopping for a child under five, the Micro Mini LED Scooter is the pick: lean-to-steer geometry gets a toddler riding immediately and the adjustable T-bar plus replaceable parts mean it survives to a sibling. Once a child has balance, the Razor A5 Lux is the better ride, because its 200mm urethane wheels handle real pavement and its 220 pound limit means it never gets outgrown.
Micro Kickboard Micro Mini LED Scooter
Buy itThe three-wheel lean-to-steer scooter that a two-year-old can ride within minutes, with a T-bar that keeps fitting until school age.
- Lean-to-steer geometry removes the balance problem entirely for first-time riders
- T-bar adjusts from roughly 19.25 to 27 inches, covering the full two-to-five range
- Polyurethane wheels (120mm front, 80mm rear) damp vibration on cracked pavement
- LED wheels are driven by rotation, so there are no batteries to replace
- Costs several times what a supermarket three-wheeler does
- Does not fold, so it takes up full length in a car trunk
- Outgrown on steering style by about age five even though the frame lasts far longer
Razor A5 Lux
Buy itEight-inch urethane wheels turn rough sidewalk into a smooth ride, and the rider weight limit means it lasts into the teens.
- 200mm urethane wheels roll over cracks and gaps that stop small-wheel scooters
- Anodized aluminum frame with a 20.6 inch deck feels solid rather than toy-like
- Folds with a lever and includes a retractable kickstand
- 220 pound rider limit means an adult can ride it and a teenager will not outgrow it
- At about 8.4 pounds it is heavy for a small child to carry upstairs
- Scaled for ages eight and up, so buying it early for a five-year-old backfires
- Rear fender brake gets hot with heavy use on long descents
