Pros and cons
iHoverboard
Pros
- Price from £99.99 puts the brand at 5 of 52 on the site, so entry is priced at the sharp end.
- Finance is available and the bike range tops out at £639.99, so the pricier frames can be spread rather than paid outright.
- Support runs on email, phone and chat with servicing in-house, and a spare parts shop lets wear parts be ordered directly.
Cons
- Suspension is absent on the scooter, so the ride suits smooth urban routes more than broken ones.
- Belt drive is absent on the bike, so the drivetrain is the part that needs regular attention.
- Battery capacity of 270 Wh ranks 16 of 20 brands on the site, well under 436.7 Wh.
Razor
Pros
- Entry price of $119.99 ranks 3 of 52 brands on price from, so the outlay stays small
- A spare parts shop is available, so consumables can be ordered long after the purchase
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre, giving phone, email and help centre routes rather than email alone
Cons
- Sales run to US only, so buyers elsewhere have no local route to these models
- Suspension is not fitted, while 92.3% of the brands in the electric-scooter ranking carry suspension
- Warranty cover runs 3 months, which is brief for a machine ridden daily in all weather
Who each suits
iHoverboard
Who it suits
- Commuters who want a kick scooter that folds and weighs 12 kg, so it can go on a train or under a desk.
- Riders buying scooters and bikes from one seller, with commuter, folding and step through frames, finance and a spare parts shop under the same roof.
- Readers who want an own-brand shop to put against iSinwheel and AOVO Official, weighing i9, i8, i9Max, i10Plus, iX5S against GT2 1200W, GT1 2026 800W, S10MAX 1000W, S9PRO 500W and AOVO T1 Pro, AOVO X9 Promax, AOVO X11, AOVO G2.
Who should look elsewhere
- Riders after a belt drive or suspension, since both are absent from the parts of the range described.
- Long-distance commuters, because 270 Wh sits well under 436.7 Wh for the site, so pack size is worth weighing against iSinwheel or AOVO Official first.
- Buyers shopping outside GB, DE and FR, where neither the range nor the service network reaches.
Razor
Who it suits
- US commuters buying direct who want a cheap folding kick-scooter with a spare parts shop on hand
- Riders combining street and train travel, who value folding and a 11.8 kg carry weight
- First-time buyers who want a straightforward, certified scooter without a deep specification sheet
Who should look elsewhere
- Riders outside the US, who should compare iSinwheel or AOVO Official for ranges sold into more markets
- Buyers who want a wider choice of models, where iSinwheel lists GT2 1200W, GT1 2026 800W, S10MAX 1000W, S9PRO 500W
- Anyone needing long range, since a claimed range of 29 km suits daily hops rather than a cross-town commute

Questions about each
iHoverboard
What does entry cost, and can the bigger bikes be financed?+
Entry is priced at £99.99, which places the brand at 5 of 52 brands on the site for price from. The bike side is wider, with commuter, folding and step-through frames (commuter, folding and step through) and prices topping out at £639.99. Finance is available, so a larger frame can be spread rather than paid in one sum.
How far does one charge go?+
The folding scooter carries 270 Wh and a 30 km claimed range, a headline figure rather than an independent check. Larger bikes take 468 Wh, so the extra capacity sits on the bike models rather than the scooter. At 12 kg, the scooter is a short-commute machine with a 100 kg load limit for errands.
Razor
How much does a Razor electric scooter cost?+
Scooters start at $119.99 direct from the brand, and that entry price ranks 3 of 52 brands on lowest starting price. It is a one-off purchase cost rather than a rental or subscription. Budget separately for a helmet and a lock, which sit outside the scooter price.
What range does a Razor electric scooter cover?+
The headline entry in Razor C35, Razor E100, Razor Color Rave quotes a claimed range of 29 km. That is a claimed figure, and real distance varies with rider weight, hills, tyre pressure and stop-start riding. Plan on it for daily hops and a station run rather than a long cross-town commute.
