Razor Scooters are those small
metal scooters that, at least in
California, are taking over the streets. They are small, metal scooters, usually with
brightly colored wheels that may flash. Fancy models may have
brakes,
wheelie bars,
shocks, and all kinds of other
nonsense. I find this fad completely baffling. From what i can tell,
Razor Scooters are for people who find skateboarding to be too intimidating, but
bikes to be too big, or too hard to use. Sometimes
parents buy their kids these evil little things, because they are supposedly
safer than skateboards. Kids enjoy doing variations on
skateboarding tricks such as the
ollie, although it seems much easier on the scooters.
There have been actual cases of big packs of skateboarders beating up herds of razor-scooter-kids - something i'd pay to see. Skateboards are much more useful in combat because they function as a lightweight bludgeoning weapon with hard metal 'trucks'. Its hard to hit someone with a razor scooter.
Unfortunately, the razor scooter trend has even spread to older people, I have seen people on the campus of UC Davis riding these things.
A razor scooter is the physical manifestation of the word Hella
