Razor upped the ante in the San Diego dockless scooter wars last week with the introduction of a model having both a seat and basket.

The Cerritos-based company said its Razor Share EcoSmart was designed for long rides and errands. It has a large, padded seat and front-mounted basket.

“Our new shared dockless EcoSmart scooter was built for a better ride for San Diegans,” said Danny Simon, chief operating officer. “EcoSmart gives the rider an option of standing or sitting while on the scooter that will benefit longer rides encouraging even more San Diegans to leave their car at home.”

The new model can travel up to 15 mph and has a hand-operated rear disk brake for safety.

The company entered the San Diego market in August, competing with Bird and Lime.
