That’s EXACTLY what I wanted to know...performance.... Other reviewers only show the scooters side by side but you actually went out to do the dirty work and for that you are appreciated like 2pac’s mother, sir!
I respectfully disagree with the overall finding that the A6 is superior to the A5. I think the A6 is not much better than the A5. Indeed I prefer the A5 because it is more nimble, a bit lighter and a cuter-scooter imo. My A6 is a big disappointment. I'd read the hype: " the Porsche of kick-scooters; almost pushes itself; amazing glide etc.". No. Pros Bit more confident going over cracks in the pavement due to the bigger wheels. I might have detected slightly more roll than the A5 hard-tyre but certainly not enough to write home about. It's a good kick-scooter. Cons It's a bigger, more imposing scooter and lacks that merge-with-the-crowd factor the A5 has which means pedestrians might scowl at you more? It's getting into bike territory. It's slightly heavier than the A5 but not significantly so. The longer deck is like a railway carriage (I think it's got a longer deck). The A5 is a little fighter and so light you could pick it up with one finger. It's an amazing form of transport for crowded areas - very unobtrusive. It's like a third leg. I'm very fond of my two A5s (hard/air tyre) but as yet I have not bonded with my A6. Hopefully it will happen in time. If it does I'll edit this comment. A5 rules!
You hit the nail with this review. I find people less intimidated when they see me passing by them because I can easily slow down than kick off again. In the bus, I find the scooter to not tlstand out as much and able to hug in crowded transportation commutes and doesn't hit nobody. A even bigger scooter would than be a problem.
Deck height difference? Deck length difference? Stem height difference? Quick release difference? Wheel height difference (8 to 10) A larger wheel will give you better roll, granted, buy the science behind it means the initial force to begin the roll would have to be greater. It's not a car so mpg can't be measured. But suffice it to say, the larger wheel is better for overall speed and distance but the initial input is greater - something a kicker won't feel. I had an a5 and I walked on it fir 8 weeks. Curb jumps, SF hills (rear brake heated up so much, my shoe sole melted into it s bit!) I've held onto pickup trucks and held the a5 by the center stem up the speeds of 20-25mph --- SCARY! BUT FUN.
Great review! Love the roll test!! FYI, would be more scientific if started on a gentle downslope and no kicks. That way, it would rule out the chance that you accidentally kicked a little harder with the A6. (Needless to say I'm a nerdy engineer.)
*Battery life is great **Latest.Bike** Scooter . Love the different driving modes. It’s got a little headlight and taillight too. Gets lots of looks haha*
Good video and good shooting concept. Kudos to the cameraman who tried airlessly to follow you :) Must say your presentation skills are great. The only thing which I think was a bit too much was the usage of too much superlatives. Otherwise as I said, the vid is great.
Thank you for the time and effort you both put to do this review, I bought one for a relative and thank to you, I know I made the right choice. I got the Razor A6
Excellent review. And thank you for not trying to be a movie star with splash screens and music. Just the info that we need to see without wasting our time. I will buy the A6, based on this review.
Thanks for the review. This is exactly what I was looking for. We recently bought our kids the A5 Lux scooters and they are so fun and my husband and I take turns on them. We want to get scooters for ourselves and I saw this A6 which looks awesome!
TEN inch wheels you say???? Those are some MASSIVE wheels! Does anyone make fun of us for donking our scoots? Please don't call me a gangster or baller. I will cry. 😭 Thx for the vid tiger!😋
Great review, thank you for side by side comparison between A5 ad A6, could not decide betwen the two. But from this review, looks like A6 is much better.
I have the a5 prime and I have no problems with it I'm right at the max weight I ride it 2 miles everyday for 2 years but you might want to remove the the kick stand when you first get it because I hit it against something a couple of times and it just trash. The farthest I went was like maybe 8 miles wasnt fun going but coming back was because on the way back theres a little hill where it picks up some speed
Seriously oh, I like the video. You give a lot of good information that are complete facts 👍. I greatly appreciate you taking the time to make this video please have a blessed day.🇺🇸🌏🌎🌍🌄🌅🙏💪😷🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆👀👈🙊🙉🙈✌🇺🇸💸
All these sorts of scooters rattle to some degree. I would say the A5 rattled more than the A6. The A6 specifically has an anti rattle mechanism inside the folding enclosure which I think accounts for a lot of the difference between the two.
3:16... what's funny is that you could just use a smart phone. Open Google maps, navigate... anywhere... and your speed will be displayed on the screen.
Though this comment isn't directly relevant to the scooter itself, I would never have guessed 6'1" to be Charlie's height. I was debating whether I should get the Razor A5 DLX vs. Razor A6, and for $10 more (at Walmart), I might as well just get the A6, since it does take you farther, faster. The platform is the same height (right?), so the riding experience wouldn't vary from that standpoint (for us shorter people). Thanks, Charlie! And it's clear that you enjoy the entire video production process. It really is a lot of fun to create informative content to help your viewers make sound decisions. Keep honing your craft and perfecting your passion! Cheers. :)
The DLX could be the correct choice for you if portability is something you value. The A5 does weigh in at 8.8 lbs vs 11lbs for the A6. That can make a difference if you spend a lot of time carrying your scooter rather than riding it. The A6 works for me since I very rarely make use of the folding mechanism, but if you are commuting on a subway or something like that the A5 may be a better choice. Good luck with your scooting! Charlie
Thanks, Charlie...that's something to consider. I do plan on taking the scooter when I use public transport, so I'll think about how significant that factor will be for me. I think I'll also rig up a shoulder strap for easier carrying, regardless of which model I end up going with.
Nice video. A specific question that I would appreciate a view is that I have noticed that the brakes on the A6 are near non existent when compared to the A5, is this normal or do I have a defective one? Hw do you find the brakes on this?
Hey quick question. What size shoe are you and did U notice any difference in the deck length from the A6 and A5 Lux. I’m a size 13 men’s foot and my foot doesn’t fit on the A5, does the A6 have more length for the foot deck?
i could make 50 kilometers with A6 easy. i have Head scooter with 230/205mm wheels just for travelling. but with this wheels. o man. you can´t feel nothing with those wheels. how much it cost?
Does your knees hurt if you go over cracks with this? I had an A5 that was uncomfortable on the knees when going on the cracks (unfortunately, the only path to get to work), and while there are scooters with added suspension, they are a lot heavier (13 lbs). The one I was looking at was by XSPEC and it's cheaper than the A6 at $80, but heavier by 2lbs. I don't know if I should return it and get the A6 instead or stick with the XSPEC.
Generally I'd say I exceed 7mph, but I ride in suburban conditions which allow for higher top end speeds. In urban areas with high traffic that sounds like a fair estimate.
They are probably safer (more grip) but sluggish compared to the urethane (plastic) tyre. I've got an A5 air in addition to a A5 plastic tyre and I use it where the pavement is coarse. So it's a case of "different horses for different courses".
I consulted three different physicists before settling on a test method. One of them actually published a study based on my results in the third edition of the American Journal of Sub-Atomic Particle Movement.
Good question. If the A6 is at least 5 years old I'm gobsmacked as the A5 seems more represented on Amazon at least. I guess the answer could be expense as on Amazon at least they are significantly more expensive.
@@Charris135 I always go slow and careful downhill. Not worth breaking myself. But how does the a6 brake compare to an a5 downhill? Is it noticeably less efficient?
I've gone down freeway overpasses on my A6 and been able to control my speed. I would say it can go faster than the A5 downhill, but the braking is similarly efficient on both.
As far as we know the PAW Patrol has the capabilities of international travel and possible covert operation capabilities. However, the PAW Patrol failed to assist in any way during the Iran Hostage Crisis of 1979, which is unacceptable seeing as the US diplomats were hostages from November 4, 1979, to January 20, 1981. Could it be that the PAW Patrol is run by Islamic extremist that utilize PAW Patrol to increase positive images of the extremist, while also taking money from the UN? Or that the PAW Patrol is US run, and was told by the CIA to not intervene with the hostage crisis? If it is the former, why so? Could the Iran Hostage Crisis be a hoax, used to crack down on Iran for bringing down the monarchy that was ruling Iran, made possible by a coop from the US and UK?
My standing foot would immediately ache after 10 minutes of hard concrete. I find having to switch feet every other block. I used to skateboard but broke my ankle. You'll still see me flying fast down the block like a gun was on me.
wow my left ear enjoyed this

@@miltonbuu Yep. I haven't changed my mind about the A6. It's ok but in comparison to the A5 it's like comparing a Bentley to a Porsche ...imo.
You did a perfect job of presenting this scooter - which I am definitely going to get now, thanks to this video! ;)
Deck height difference?
Deck length difference?
Stem height difference?
Quick release difference?
Wheel height difference (8 to 10)

Yes and I reckon he exhaled when riding the A6 to be lighter. A5 forever!

Good one Charlie, this is the best review of the Razor A6 i have seen so far.
Well done
Great review, nice that you compared with a prev model. Your video helped me make my final decision, ordering an A6 now! Thanks Charlie!!
I like the way you speaks and explains... keep posting bro

Nice Raze vid bro! I've been rocking the A5 DLX. I probably won't make those extra feet, but at least I am DLX.
After watching this video I'm seriously thinking about buying one now. Thanks mate.
just purchased one, great review
Thank you for this visual representation of new bearings vs old bearings. 😬
Razor A6 Scooter is a Redesigned of the Razor A5 Lux.

We have the 7.8" weeled razors and love them.
Beautiful!! I am 67 years old and I need one 😕
I am 67 too and just got one (in addition to a A5 hard and soft tyre). I must stop.

Hey bud. So the A5 rattled and the A6 doesn’t? Are all A5s like that? Like a design flaw or something
All these sorts of scooters rattle to some degree. I would say the A5 rattled more than the A6. The A6 specifically has an anti rattle mechanism inside the folding enclosure which I think accounts for a lot of the difference between the two.
A5 for me, because the A6 can collabs if you don't tighten the knob which can be extremely dangerous....
WHAT ABOUT A5 AIR WITH PNEUMATIC TIRES ???????
Those birds were VERY Distracting.
Try on coarse road surfaces, see if the dental fillings are well done

Dude, you're a freakin' cutie :3
nice review, Charlie !

Wow! Awesome review!! Thank you so much.
Also very funny lol
TU, great review and nice job by you!
A5 is a bit more stylish not that it matters in my opinion
Great review, great scoot. Thanks. Très belle présentation, une trottinette fantastique avec ses roues de 30 cm.
Poor camera man/woman was panting while running after you Chatlie, you should give them some time to catch up;))
great video. you should make more videos reviewing stuff
Is there any chance of exporting or manufacturing these A 5 & A 6 models in INDIA? Huge market for these scooters in INDIA
Thanks for the great review

Hw do you find the brakes on this?
Haven't had that issue. My brakes work well on both.
I imagine scooters are only usable in very flat areas, I live in a town that is all hills.
My sympathy. Kick scooters are fine on the flat but dangerous down hills. I walk mine down inclines as I know I can't stop the thing.
awesome review! thank you!
Hey quick question. What size shoe are you and did U notice any difference in the deck length from the A6 and A5 Lux. I’m a size 13 men’s foot and my foot doesn’t fit on the A5, does the A6 have more length for the foot deck?

Razor is more sturdy
I heard commuters average about 7mph?
Rule of thumb is its about 3x faster than walking?
Generally I'd say I exceed 7mph, but I ride in suburban conditions which allow for higher top end speeds. In urban areas with high traffic that sounds like a fair estimate.
Are rubber tyres better than the plastic ones
They are probably safer (more grip) but sluggish compared to the urethane (plastic) tyre. I've got an A5 air in addition to a A5 plastic tyre and I use it where the pavement is coarse. So it's a case of "different horses for different courses".
Is there a lot of rattling in the A5 compared to the A6 on rough roads?
Those wheels are the size of his head 😂 😆
Lazaok lol
Lol I was thinking the same.
omg lol
Cool video 👍:)
also thank you for the comparison
Do u think the a6 can easily carry a 240 lb. Man I know its max listed as 220.
how tall are you, was that the max height it goes? I'm looking at the A6 because im 6'4" and want the scooter to match my height
A+++ for the review! Im getting one asap!
The scooter wheels look like they are off a ford model T
rofl :) true. A5 Lux wheels look a bit better, just wish they were black
4:04 4:37 you pushed harder in the new fancy one, look at your body posture. Bad test.
I consulted three different physicists before settling on a test method. One of them actually published a study based on my results in the third edition of the American Journal of Sub-Atomic Particle Movement.
Wow Brian. Such a hater
Why is A6 so rare?
Good question. If the A6 is at least 5 years old I'm gobsmacked as the A5 seems more represented on Amazon at least. I guess the answer could be expense as on Amazon at least they are significantly more expensive.
How are the brakes? Will it give me enough control when going down a hill so I'm not going down max speed?
Yes. It's still a friction brake so it's not perfect, and you have to be careful on downhills and when its wet. In general, though, it performs well.
@@Charris135 I always go slow and careful downhill. Not worth breaking myself. But how does the a6 brake compare to an a5 downhill? Is it noticeably less efficient?
I've gone down freeway overpasses on my A6 and been able to control my speed. I would say it can go faster than the A5 downhill, but the braking is similarly efficient on both.
Hmm where can i buy this in philippines
It's better to test it comparing with walking man.
