A Razor Electric Scooter is a Powerful Form of Transportation

It might not be the first thing that comes to mind but a Razor electric scooter really is a great type of transportation. A Razor electric scooter is specially made for short distances and that may seem silly but in fact it is very smart to design a scooter for distances that are too far to walk and not long enough to warrant the use of your car. There are different types of Razor electric scooters, there are types that are specially designed for children and teens and there are Razor electric scooters you can sit on and that can be used by everybody.

A good choice for the environment

There are many reasons why a Razor electric scooter is such a smart choice and one of them is the environment. In this age of environmental crisis we know everybody is doing its best for the environment and because this scooter is a very Eco friendly way of getting around it is the perfect buy.

The Razor electric scooter uses electricity unlike other vehicles that use gasoline to power their engines. This means that you are helping to preserve the environment in your own small way because you do not contribute to carbon monoxide emissions. You only need to plug your Razor electric scooter into a power outlet, charge it and your ready to go.

Affordable way to get around

Not only are you helping the environment you will also be significantly cutting down on your fuel bills. You will notice that you will use your Razor electric scooter for all the short distances where you would normally use your car for this will save you a great amount of gas money. You also will save a lot of money on parking tickets, a Razor electric scooter can be parked everywhere and you don’t need to buy a parking ticket and that is a great advantage especially in urban areas.

Is a Razor electric scooter just for teenagers?

Because they are easy to use, easy to maneuver and they often have bright colors people think a Razor electric scooter is just for children or teens. The truth is that it has a platform that is wide enough for an adult to stand on.
Still the Razor electric scooter is often used as a great gift for a teenager because it is easy enough to maneuver for a teen to use it with no problems. In fact teens would most probably find it easiest to use it as they have a greater sense of balance and agility. The less known Razor electric scooters with a seat are more suitable for adults.

Great advantages but also great fun

The Razor electric scooter does not only have a lot of benefits but are also just plain fun to use because you can do:
Great Razor scooter tricks

You can enjoy your surroundings in a non polluting way

They are perfect for racing games

Vespa Scooter Longings

One of the most enduring scenes in cinema is in the classic film Roman Holiday. The film starred the immortal and ever beautiful Audrey Hepburn (Oh how I love her!) and the talented Gregory Peck. Hepburn played a princess who was visiting Rome for a state visit. Tired of her strictly regimented life, she escaped the confines of her embassy, disguised herself as a commoner and began touring the streets of Rome. There she met Gregory Peck who played an American correspondent in Italy. The movie was basically a sight-seeing tour of the streets and Rome, but it is very memorable because they both toured the scenic spots in a Vespa scooter.

This singular scene catapulted the Vespa as a cultural icon. Though the movie was not really what you call a happy ending for they both did not end up with each other (oops sorry for ruining the plot to those who have not seen it), generations of girls dream of becoming Audrey Hepburn being swept away by their own Gregory Peck driving into the sunset in their very own Vespa.

Vespa scooters have their cult following. Like the Volkswagen or the Mini Cooper, Vespas are liked because of their unique (some consider cute as the more appropriate description) design. Vespa’s design was derived from wasps hence the name. As a matter of fact, wasp if translated into Italian is called vespa. The Vespa was first made after world war two and since then its design saw little deviations. Scooters are perfect for the old narrow and cobbled Roman streets. It reflects the olden times when people are gentler, the days seemed slower and the air was full of romanticism. From those famed cobbled streets Vespa spread throughout the world. Perhaps because this little mode of transportation is perfect for weaving in and out in today’s heavily congested roads or perhaps Italians are really talented designers of vehicles. (I am sure most of you will agree with me on this point. I have yet to meet somebody who finds the highly desirable and exotic Ferrari sports cars as ugly.)

Ever since I had seen a Vespa in Roman Holiday, I always wanted to buy one for myself. There were only two problems that presented themselves to me. First, there is no Vespa being sold in our region and second, even if there are Vespas in our island, I cannot afford one. The closest things that resemble a Vespa in our place are the delivery scooters of Yellow Cab Pizza. I even joked to my cousin that we should steal one, remove the delivery compartment at the back and repaint it with any color not yellow. I would even dream of accessorizing them with parts from scooter, but of course I know that all this will just be a dream to me. Maybe in my mind’s eye, I see myself also driving a Vespa, sweeping my own Audrey Hepburn off her feet and we will both ride off into the sunset.

www.jaredfosterfilms.com In October of 2000 my wife and I took a tour of the Vespa Museum in Pontedera, Italy. Here you will see early prototype Vespa scooters as well as classics like the Vespa GS and 90SS. If you ever go to Italy and are near Pisa be sure to go see this excellent Museum!
