Introduction
Electric Scooters and vehicles are the ideal transport solution for the next generation. With the overconsumption of fossil fuels, we know electric vehicles to be the best alternative. They are easy to carry around and are lightweight. They do not depend on the consumption of natural fuels and operate with an electrical charge battery.
The best part is the amount of savings it can provide over a normal petrol or diesel scooters and cars. Over the last few years, many automobile companies have shifted their focus from petroleum-based vehicles to electric vehicles. They understand that these electric vehicles are the need for the present and future.

Let’s have a look at their different features of these scooters, that contribute to its popularity among kids. We can list the features in terms of design, built, it working and overall features.
The design structure for both the electrical scooter is almost the same. Long and comfortable handles with efficient braking. When compared to the older version, one can look and feel the sturdiness and a better design structure in the electric scooter. Electric scooters look more robust and easy to handle. It also includes a better graphic design and a good color combination.
The overall design will give a good position and body posture for the kids to ride on. One major difference that you will see just by looking at the scooter is the size of the handle. The handle size of E100 is a little bigger than the E90. This makes it easier for children with more height easy to handle the scooter without bending.
Just by the look, it is the most stylish than its previous versions. Also, the design of the E100 model is bigger than the E90 in dimensions but still portable. In terms of weight, E100 is heavier than the E90 model, which can be a very important factor while selecting the Scooter for a kid of a smaller age.
For a smaller age childlike 6, it will affect the handling and balancing on the scooter. If the child is within the age of 8-9, then it might not create any issues for him. For a small age, child E90 seems to be a better option because of weight, else E100 is a better option for a little older kids.
Speed and Braking
Razor E90 can give a top speed of 10MPH, whereas the top speed for the E100 model is 11MPH. The speed difference here is only of 1MPH. Older versions of both the scooters provided an average speed of 9 MPH and 10 MPH. This is because of the new heavy-duty motor integrated into both models. It generates more power, because of which it has increased the speed level. Another major difference between the two is the speed mechanism.
E90 has a push-button throttle, which allows a kid to simply speed up the scooter by pressing a button. E100 has a twist handle mechanism to speed up the scooter. Twist handle mechanisms can be a little difficult for smaller kids in which case E90 can be a better option. However, the twist handle mechanism in E100 provides better control over the speed of the scooter and seems to be safer than in 90. The only problem with the push-button mechanism of E90 is, that it will go on full speed or either not work at all. It does not have the option of variable speed as in E100.
Wheels and battery runtime
Wheels are much better on the Razor E100 when compared to E90. The E90 comes with a smaller urethane front tire and the E100 has a larger pneumatic tire. The wheels on the E100 are better quality, bigger and provide a much better grip while traveling. The difference between the front wheels is noticeable by having a simple look at it.
The front wheel of E100 provides better traction and grip on the track which makes it safe for kids. The front tire on E90 seems to be low on quality and can easily skid on an uneven surface. There is also a big difference in the ride quality of both models. Where E90 seems to be very hard and not so comfortable with an uneven surface, E100 provides a better grip on the surface. E100 will give your child a much more comfortable ride than E90
Another major difference that appears in an E90 and E100 is battery life. The battery life of E90 is around 80 minutes on a single charge and for E100 status 60 minutes. The major difference between the speed of the two is because of the power of the motor.
The motor of E100 provides a higher speed and much more power when compared to E90. Therefore the battery life of E90 is more than E100. Where E100 provides more speed, acceleration, and power, E90 provides a better battery life.
Other features of Razor Power Core E90 & E100
Both the scooters can handle a weight up to 120lbs and have a hand brake lever fitted for the braking system. The amount of weight a scooter can handle depends on the child’s age, weight, and height. Since it is different for each child, there is no certain age limit for a child to use it. Another important feature of the scooter that has improved over the previous version, is braking.
However, the braking system on the E100 model seems to be better, as it includes a higher quality caliper brake. The breaking time seems to be much less and improve the handling of the scooter. The braking system on E90 seems to be a little less effective, with normal rubber brakes.
Things we did not like
Although, both the scooters are packed with many features and are a major improvement over the previous version, there are certain things that we expect the company to include a version of the scooters. The build quality on the E90 models seems to be more plastic in feel when compared to E100. We expect the company to improve the build quality of E90, as it is a great electric scooter for kids of smaller ages.
Second, E90 also requires a boost in power and acceleration as E100. They need a major improvement in the battery life of E100. Although it provides great power and acceleration, it is at the cost of battery life. The difference in speed between the two is just 1 mile per hour, but they drastically reduce the battery life to 60 minutes in E100 when compared to 80 minutes from E90.
We would expect future versions to have bigger battery life for E100. Another feature that can be a success in selling in E100 is the throttle type. All kids are not comfortable with the handle twist type or the push-button type. The company should provide a variant that provides a choice in selecting the throttle type. Both the electric scooters are popular among kids, but these are just a few features that we would like to see from the company version.
