Modifying Razor Electric Scooters for Younger Children

If you have a Razor electric scooter and wish to make it suitable for a younger child, there are several modifications you can make to ensure safety and ease of use. In this article, we'll discuss four key areas you should address to successfully mod down your scooter: reducing speed, installing training wheels, adjusting the handlebars, and adding a seat.



  1. Reducing Speed
    The first step in modifying a Razor electric scooter for younger children is to reduce its speed. You can do this by using a variable speed controller (VSC) or an inline resistor. To use a VSC, replace the existing control with the variable speed controller, allowing you to adjust the scooter's top speed. Alternatively, you can solder an inline resistor into the throttle wires, which will limit the scooter's speed.



  2. Installing Training Wheels
    To provide stability for younger riders, consider installing a set of training wheels on your Razor scooter. You can purchase home kits designed specifically for electric scooters or adapt existing bicycle training wheels to fit the scooter's rear wheelbase. When attaching the wheels, ensure they are securely fastened and adjusted to provide the right balance for the child.



  3. Adjusting the Handlebars




Adjusting the handlebars is another essential modification to make your Razor scooter suitable for a younger child. Lower the handlebars to a height comfortable for the child to reach and grip securely. If the handlebars cannot be lowered sufficiently, consider replacing them with customizable, lower-height handlebars or folding the handlebars inward to create a narrower grip.



  1. Adding a Seat
    Finally, providing a seated option can make a Razor scooter more comfortable and safer for younger children. You can purchase a seat kit designed for electric scooters, including Razor models, that include a padded seat, seat post, and necessary installation hardware. Ensure the seat is securely attached and adjusted to the correct height for the child.


In conclusion, modding a Razor electric scooter for a younger child involves several steps, including reducing speed, providing stability with training wheels, adjusting the handlebars, and adding a seat. These modifications will help make your scooter safe and user-friendly for younger riders, ensuring they can enjoy the fun and freedom of electric scootering.
