SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING: Riding an electric motor bike does present potential
risks and caution is required. Like any riding product, an electric motor bike
has inherent hazards associated with its use (for example, falling off or riding
it into a hazardous situation). Like any riding product, electric motor bikes
can and are intended to move and it is therefore, of course, possible to lose
control or otherwise get into dangerous situations. Both children, and adults
responsible for supervising them, must recognize that if such things occur, a
rider can be seriously injured or die even when using safety equipment and
other precautions. RIDE AT YOUR OWN RISK AND USE COMMON SENSE.
WARNING: PARENTAL AND ADULT RESPONSIBILITY AND
SUPERVISION NECESSARY: This manual contains important safety
information. It is your responsibility to review this information and make
sure that all riders understand all warnings, cautions, instructions and safety
topics, and assure that young riders are able to safely and responsibly use
these products. Razor recommends that you periodically review and reinforce
the information in this manual with younger riders, and that you inspect and
maintain your children's product to insure their safety.
WARNING: THE SX500/MX500 IS NOT FOR CHILDREN
UNDER AGE 14 OR HEAVIER THAN 175 LB (79 KG). THE MX650 IS NOT
FOR CHILDREN UNDER AGE 16 OR HEAVIER THAN 220 LB (100 KG).
Because products, like electric motor bikes, can and do present potential
hazards plainly associated with their use, it is well recognized THE NEED FOR
EXERCISE OF PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITY IN SELECTING RIDING PRODUCTS
APPROPRIATE TO THE AGE OF A CHILD, OR PARENTAL SUPERVISION IN
SITUATIONS IN WHICH CHILDREN OF VARIOUS AGES MAY HAVE ACCESS
TO THE SAME RIDING PRODUCTS, IS IMPORTANT. Not every product is
appropriate for every age or size of child, and different age recommendations
are found within this category of product which are intended to reflect the
nature of the hazards and the expected mental or physical ability, or both, of
a rider to cope with the hazards.
Razor recommends that children under the age of 14 not be permitted to use
the SX500/MX500 and that children under the age of 16 not be permitted
to use the MX650. This recommendation is based not just on age or weight
or height - it reflects consideration of expected maturity and skills as well
as physical size. The recommended rider age of 14 years or older for SX500/
MX500 and rider age of 16 years or older for MX650 are only estimates
and can be affected by the rider's size, weight or skills - not every child 14
years old will be suited to the SX500/MX500 and not every child 16 years
old will be suite to the MX650. Certainly, any rider unable to fit comfortably
on the SX500/MX500/MX650 should not attempt to ride it, but a parent's
decision to allow his or her child to ride these products should be
based on the child's maturity, skill, and ability to follow rules. Razor
emphasizes that adults are strongly advised not to disregard Razor's
recommendations or permit younger children to ride the SX500/
MX500/MX650.
DO NOT EXCEED THE WEIGHT LIMIT OF 175 lb (79 kg) for SX500/MX500 and
220 lb (100 kg) for MX650. Rider weight alone also does not necessarily mean
a person's size is appropriate to fit or maintain control of the SX500/MX500/
MX650. Keep these products away from small children and remember that
these products are intended for use only by persons who are, at a minimum,
completely comfortable and competent while operating these products.

Warranty and Contact Information ................................................................ 15
Persons with any mental or physical conditions that may make them
susceptible to injury, impair their physical dexterity or mental capabilities
to recognize, understand, and follow safety instructions and to be able to
understand the hazards inherent in a product's use, should not use or be
permitted to use products inappropriate for their abilities. Persons with heart
conditions, head, back or neck ailments (or prior surgeries to these areas of the
body), or pregnant women, should be cautioned not to operate these products.
CHECK AND MAINTAIN MOTOR BIKE CONDITIONS
Before use, check to confirm that any and all chain guards or other covers
and guards are in place and in serviceable condition. Check that the
brakes are functioning properly, and that tires are inflated properly and
have sufficient tread remaining. The motor bike should be maintained and
repaired in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications, using only the
manufacturer's authorized replacement parts, and should not be modified
from the manufacturer's original design and configuration.
ACCEPTABLE RIDING PRACTICES AND CONDITIONS
Always check and obey any local laws or regulations, which may
affect the locations where the electric motor bike may be used. Keep
safely away from cars and motor vehicle traffic at all times, and only
use where allowed and with caution.
Do not activate the speed control on the hand grip unless you are on the
motor bike and in a safe, outdoor environment suitable for riding.
The normal powered top speed of these motor bikes will be approximately
15 mph (24 kmh) for SX500/MX500 and 17 mph (27 kmh) for MX650, which
can be affected by conditions, such as rider weight, inclines, tire inflation and
battery charge level. Avoid excessive speeds that can be associated with
downhill rides.
Maintain a hold on the handlebars at all times. Do not touch the brakes or
motor on your motor bike when in use or immediately after riding, as these
parts can become very hot.
Ride defensively. Watch out for potential obstacles that could catch your
wheel or force you to swerve suddenly or lose control. Be careful to avoid
pedestrians, skaters, skateboards, scooters, bikes, children or animals who
may enter your path, and respect the rights and property of others.
These electric motor bikes are intended for use on flat, dry surfaces, such as
pavement or level ground, without loose debris, such as sand, leaves, rocks
or gravel. Wet, slick, bumpy, uneven or rough surfaces may impair traction
and contribute to possible accidents. Do not ride your motor bike in mud, ice,
puddles or water. Watch out for potential obstacles that could catch your
wheel or force you to swerve suddenly or lose control. Avoid sharp bumps,
drainage grates, and sudden surface changes.
Do not attempt or do stunts or tricks on your electric motor bike. These motor
bikes are not made to withstand abuse from misuse, such as jumping, curb
grinding or any other type of stunts. Racing, stunt riding, or other maneuvers
also enhance risk of loss of control, or may cause uncontrolled rider actions
or reactions.
Never allow more than one person at a time to ride the motor bike.
Do not ride at night or when visibility is limited.
