About
As of 2026, it's 26 years old.
The Razor scooter folded its way into 2000 and became the must-have ride of the new millennium: a lightweight aluminum kick scooter that was faster, cooler, and more portable than anything before it. Suddenly every sidewalk and school hallway clattered with them.
It also became infamous for one specific injury — the brutal aluminum-edge clip to the back of the ankle that every single rider suffered at least once. That particular pain is a shared generational trauma, right alongside the satisfying snap of folding it up to carry.
Sleek, foldable, and a documented threat to ankles everywhere, the Razor scooter is the Y2K ride that defined a childhood and scarred a few shins doing it.
