Electric scooters are a fantastic, cost-effective commuting alternative for those looking to ditch their car and/or reliance on public transportation. Most eScooters have a solid range for getting around town and take up much less room to store than a traditional vehicle. They’re also great for just having some good, old-fashioned fun in the sun. All three of these Razor EcoSmart Metro scooters are currently on sale at Amazon, with our top deal offering a savings of nearly 200 bucks.

Of the three Razors currently on sale at Amazon, this one is the least expensive and has the biggest discount.

The EcoSmart Metro has a slightly higher top speed than the Metro HD but the run time is listed as 20 minutes less. Unlike the Metro HD, the EcoSport Metro uses a 500W hub motor compared to the 350W found in the Metro HD and Metro SUP models.

Key Features

The stand-up version of the Razor EcoSmart Metro lineup
Alloy steel frame
Wide platform
Adjustable handlebars

The first thing you might notice about the SUP is that it doesn’t have a seat or an attached basket. The absence of these features means that the SUP is the lightest of the Razor Metro lineup. At 70 minutes of run time, the SUP is also top of the lineup in this category. It has the same top speed and range as the Metro HD.
