Performance
The Razor UB1 Electric Scooter has a top speed of about 13.5 MPH, which may be a little lower than other scooters in its class, such as the SKRT Electric Scooter, but can still get you where you need to go safely. Where there should be some concern is in the scooter’s ability to go uphill. No specs indicate a percentage range for uphill traveling, and customer reviews on the matter, though limited, do skew on the negative side. If you want something different than a scooter but close to a skateboard.
Safety
The 200mm pneumatic front tire is accompanied by an airless, flat-free back tire. These tires work in tandem to soften the terrain under them for a more comfortable ride. If you like bigger, chunkier tires, try the Razor Eco smart Metro Electric Scooter. The Razor UB1 Electric Scooter is also a rear-wheel drive scooter which provides you with greater stability if the front tire is raised off the ground for some reason or if you need to brake suddenly. Do you want to cruise the city in a stylish scooter that can support a weight of up to 250lbs?
Battery Life
The battery life on the Razor UB1 Electric Scooter is about 40 minutes, or if you prefer, about 10 miles under optimal conditions. While 10 miles should surely be enough to reach your destination, it’s not quite as long as a lot of other scooters, such as the Hiboy S2. Unfortunately, no specs are given as to the charge time, but customer reviews have commented on how quickly the scooter does charge.
Durability
The Razor UB1’s frame is made from sturdy aluminum alloy. We wish it could have been made out of something like steel, but the fact that the scooter still maintains a 220-pound weight limit is a testament just how strong this aluminum alloy really is. Couple this with a sturdy suspension, and you have a scooter that can take bumps and curbs without much issue.
Value
The Razor UB1 Electric Scooter includes folding handlebars for portability and easy last mile commuting. The design of the scooter is also quite eye-catching and very futuristic. It almost looks like an exercise bike you can ride outside. We’ll leave it up to you to decide whether this is a positive or negative. Finally, the scooter only weighs 25 pounds so it’s simple to carry around when you need to.

Razor UB1 Electric Scooter Wrap Up
While the frame and body of the Razor UB1 Electric Scooter may be aluminum it’s still able to maintain a 220-pound rider weight limit. Considering some steel scooters can’t manage this, it’s pretty impressive. The 10-mile range is a bit of a letdown, but what’s more is that there’s no charge time spec available. Let’s hope customer reviews are correct in saying the charge time is faster than average.
