Nowadays everyone is shopping on a budget, so why should it be any different for kid scooter. In the world of scooters, is buying cheap mean you have purchased a pro stunt scooter of lesser quality? The quick answer is "no" and better yet manufacturers understand that people don't want to pay an immense amount of money. In order to compete, manufacturers have turned to China to alleviate financial constrain. In this authors opinion very few have succeeded to the level of X-Treme scooters. Customers shop X-Treme for a myriad of reasons but what every customer receives is the best "bang for their buck". The best way to examine this is to compare other comparable brands such as Razor, across the board. As a comparable product, X-Treme offers a cheaper price for a 200mm scooter that is highly competitive. Below shows a graph that examines two major contenders for entry level scooters the X-Treme X-140 and the Razor E100. Both share a similar platform, solidly built and rigid aluminum structure with two wheels. Keep in mind that both companies have been in business for about the same length of time (roughly 9 years). Most consumers are interested in MSRP, which can be variable due to discounts and sales. Speed is another attribute of interest due to the obvious enjoyment associated with throttling your scooter. The last attribute of note is range, customers like to know how far they can go on a single charge. While in some categories these two are alike they have some significant differences. For example, a collapsible scooter does not seem like much until you need to store it on the side of a classroom or in a closet.
