Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I got one of these Razor Carvr scooters for my wife, who isn't too comfortable on the 2-wheeled Razor A kick scooters that my three sons (8, 5, and 5 yrs. old) zoom around on. The three wheeled design looked appealing for a person who lacks neither ability or balance, but rather confidence.
I noted right away that this scooter isn't constructed of the high grade and lightweight aluminum that the other Razor scooters are made of. The Carvr is made of welded steel, so it is rather heavy, especially since it has a skateboard truck (also made of steel) in the back with a pretty cool friction brake. Even the steerer tube and handles are made of steel, though it looks like I could easily swap one of the aluminum steerer tubes and handles from one of the Razor A scooters to the Carvr easily. I suspect this scooter is made of steel to save on production cost, as nothing on this scooter screams out high quality.
Ride and handling are o.k., though I must point out that the 2-wheeled Razor A scooters are faster, and handle better. Since this Carvr will be used by an adult rider, I found the bushing on the rear truck too soft. I changed the smaller of the two bushings with a firmer bushing that I had handy. This made the Carvr easier to ride. If the Carver is leaned too much, the brake mechanism actually rubs on the rear wheels. Not something you would want to happen in a fast tight turn!!
I also removed the steering damper right away. I don't understand the purpose of this rubber bushing that resists turning of the steering at all.
It is a shame that this Carvr scooter will never see a modest to steep hill, so we won't be able to see if the scooter lives up to it's name for carving down hills. I suppose the fact that there are two skateboard wheels in back as opposed to one relatively thin scooter wheel would give this scooter better grip on the road to avoid sliding out when carving down relatively steep hills.
