The Razor scooter was named the Best Spring/Summer Toy of the Year by The Toy Manufacturers of America (TMA) during the first annual T.O.T.Y (Toy of the Year) Awards Ceremony, February 10 at New York's Cipriani. The popular scooters were also named one of Specialty Retailer Magazine's Tops Toys of 2000 in the Spring and Summer category. One of the top-selling items of the year, Razor scooters were seen from the streets of New York to the California boardwalks as America caught scooter fever in 2000.

"We are honored to be named as a top toy by TMA and by Specialty Retailer Magazine. This spring, look for new models that integrate cutting-edge designs with fun and functionality that will continue to be the best scooters on the market."
