...Razor Pocket Rocket is an electric model that reaches 15 m.p.h., and the company specifies that its bikes are designed for controlled environments like go-kart tracks and are not for use on public streets or sidewalks.

The balancing act is achieved with a mixture of corn syrup and artificial sweeteners. But how do they stack up to the originals? Both low-carb versions taste surprisingly close to their full-sugar progenitors, but in a head-to-head tasting, C2 seems a little less artificial and has less of an aftertaste than Edge...
