The Xootr is as compact as the Razor and weights upwards of 10 pounds. It also has the option of a competition-style hand brake and front and rear spring suspension. The wheels have spokes, unlike the Razor that has solid plastic wheels. These aluminum wheels, Rehault says, are smoother and more durable. Rehault said the brakes on the Xootr are also safer and more dependable than those on the Razor.
Razors use a fender that doubles as a brake when the user steps on it.
Rehault said that Nova Cruz tests one of every one hundred scooters it manufactures and that riders should always wear protective gear. Rehault also stresses that the scooter is very environmentally friendly. The simple folding idea of the Razor and the Xootr and its environmental care are perhaps the most attractive aspects of the scooters. It has allowed for a brand new market, Post says, demonstrating the idea with a bright green Razor. According to their Web page, Razor book bags and carrying bags can be purchased as accessories.
