My almost-13-year-old daughter was able to take it right out of the box and use it right away with no help or assembly. It has made her summer lots of fun. We have absolutely no complaints!

I bought the A3 for my daughter (5'6", 120 lbs) to use on campus this fall. She seems to be enjoying herself, especially on fast downhill runs. On the other hand, she says it won't go uphill very well -- I'm lighter (100 lbs, 5'2") and I'm not finding this to be an issue. Also, I'm fine with the handlebar height, but she would like it to be a bit higher. The scooter seems more stable than the smaller models, and it is very easy to fold (hint: lift the front wheel off the ground slightly before pushing the lever). It's also fairly light and easy to carry.
One problem we've just discovered is that some shoes will melt onto the brake once it heats up! Also, it would be nice if the deck were a bit longer, as for adults there isn't really room for your other foot once you get going.

I like my scooter very much, sometimes I think of it as a skate board, sometimes I trick my mom by pushing two buttons making it looks like its broken. I wish it was black. THE END

I am 52 years, 5'2", 52 kg. For years I used the 98mm-wheel Razor for quick visits to neighbors. Not recommended for children because a small pavement crack can send you flying. This one has bigger 125mm wheels. This certainly makes it better on those cracks but not as much better as it should be.
Shock absorption? I don't notice any. This is just as bumpy as the other one.
Breaks? Poor. This one does not break as well as the small-wheel one. No breaks at all if the wheel gets wet.
The answer to better shock absorption, breaking and crack-jumping is quite simple: make the wheels soft. Also give them a bit of tread for traction, and as an indicator of when to replace them. The manufacturer would even make more money by selling more replacement wheels. Evidently however, they are not capable of thinking in terms of basic practicality, any more than any fashion designer.
Razor Scooters were not the first scooters, but they rejuvenated their popularity by making the wheels tiny, unsteady, unsafe, and thus better able for children to do tricks, win prizes, impress girls, destroy their knees, bash in their skulls and all that. Aside from that, Razor Scooters are made of fairly sturdy materials. They are now a well established brand who probably wants to minimize lawsuits. If you must buy this type of scooter, then this is certainly the brand to get.
However if I were looking for a scooter for my child, I would try for the Kent Super Scooter.
For me, gliding a scooter downhill is second only to hang gliding in feeling like a bird. The small wheels do add to this a certain feeling of finesse. Going from 98mm to 128mm already loses some of this feel. So I do not prefer big clunky wheels. (Although who knows, maybe that will be the next fad.) The 128mm wheels would be big enough if only they were built like wheels instead of castors. However that's the way it is. I would buy the Kent even for myself, instead of buying this again.

Purchased this scooter for my 8 year old. He has no trouble balancing it and the wheels give a very smooth ride. The wheelie bar is positioned right behind the brake making it very difficult to use the wheelie bar without also slamming on the brake.
