Razor E200, E200S, E225 - Electric Scooter Manual

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Remove contents from box. Remove the foam separators that protect the components from damage during shipping. Inspect the contents of the box for scratches in the paint, dents or kinked cables that may have occurred during shipping. Because the scooter is 95 percent assembled and packed at the factory, there should not be any problems, even if the box has a few scars or dents.
MAKE SURE POWER SWITCH IS TURNED "OFF" BEFORE CONDUCTING ANY MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES.

Estimated Assembly and Set-Up Time

Allow up to 20 minutes for assembly, not including initial charge time.
Allow up to 18 hours for initial charge.

DO NOT USE NON-RAZOR PRODUCTS WITH YOUR RAZOR ELECTRIC SCOOTER. The scooter has been built to certain Razor design specifications. The original equipment supplied at the time of sale was selected on the basis of its compatibility with the frame, fork and all other parts. Certain aftermarket products may or may not be compatible.

Required Tools

ASSEMBLY AND SET-UP

Attaching the Handlebars

1. Loosen the locking knob and swing to the 6 o'clock position to unfold the handlebar.
   
2. Remove the plastic protector covering the base of the handlebar assembly. Insert the "quill" part of the handlebar assembly into the fork. You may have to loosen the wedge to allow it to slip into the fork.
   
3. Slide the quill into the fork until it bottoms on the headset.
   
4. Using a 6mm hexagonal key wrench, tighten the wedge by turning the bolt clockwise. The wedge is properly tightened when the handlebars cannot be twisted out of alignment with the front wheel.
   
5. Pivot the handlebar assembly upright.
   
6. Swing the locking knob to the 12 o'clock position and tighten by hand as firmly as possible.
   

Failure to recharge the battery at least once a month may result in a battery that will no longer accept a charge.

Failure to properly tighten the wedge may allow the handlebars to dislodge while riding and may cause you to lose control and fall. When correctly tightened, the handlebars will not rotate out of alignment with the front wheel under normal circumstances.

Keep your fingers clear of the pivoting mechanism when folding or unfolding the scooter, and make sure others are standing clear.
Note: The cable and wire assembly from the handlebar must not wrap around the steering tube or handlebar as shown in step 3. Sharp bends or twisting of the brake cable can cause the brakes to malfunction.

Inflating the Tires

Tires are inflated when shipped, but they invariably lose some pressure between the point of manufacturing and your purchase. Always inflate tires to the correct PSI before first time use.

Rear Tire

1. Use the valve extender/adapter located in the end of the right handlebar grip.
   
2. Open the round cover located on the chain cover by sliding the cover upward. Align the opening in the drive sprocket with the valve stem. Thread the adapter completely onto the valve stem and attach the pump. Inflate to the PSI indicated on the tire sidewall.
   
3. Remove valve adapter immediately after inflating and close the round cover.
   

Failure to remove the valve adapter after inflating will cause the inner tube and/or adapter to be severed by the rear drive sprocket.
Note: If you lose the valve, one can be purchased at almost any auto parts store.
Note: The pressurized air supplies found at gasoline stations are designed to inflate high-volume automobile tires. If you decide to use such an air supply to inflate your electric scooter tires, first make sure the pressure gauge is working, then use very short bursts to inflate to the correct PSI. If you inadvertently over-inflate the tire, release the excess pressure immediately.

Front Tire

4. Using a bicycle style tire pump equipped for a Schrader-type valve, inflate the front tire to the PSI indicated on the sidewall of the tire.
   

Attaching the Seat (if applicable)

1. Attach the seat to the seat post with two 4mm key wrenches.
   
2. Unscrew the four screws on the middle of the deck with the 4mm key wrench and the phillips screwdriver.
   
3. Place the seat post on the deck and secure using the same 4 screws.
   

Note: Do not completely tighten at this time. Adjust the seat tilt approximately level to the ground, or slightly tilted depending on your personal preference. Tighten securely. The seat tilt adjustment should not move when riding.

Charging the Battery

Your electric scooter may not have a fully charged battery. Therefore it is a good idea to charge the battery prior to use.

• Initial charge time: 18 hours
• Recharge time: up to 12 hours When the scooter is not in regular use, recharge the battery at least once a month until normal use is resumed.
• Run time: Up to 40 minutes of continuous ride time
• Average battery life: 250 charge/discharge cycles

1. Turn OFF power switch before charging. Plug the charger into the charger port on the electric scooter.
   
2. Plug the charger into a wall outlet. If the lights on charger do not light up, check the power to the outlet. If necessary, try a different outlet.
   

Always disconnect your scooter from the charger before cleaning with liquid.
Note: If your charger does not look like the one illustrated, your unit has been supplied with an alternative charger. The specifications and charging procedure would not change.
The charger has a small window with one LED or two LEDs to indicate the charge status. Refer to the illustration on the charger unit for the actual "charging" and "charged" status indications for your model charger.
Chargers have built-in overcharge protection to prevent battery from being over-charged.
Charger will get warm during use. This is normal for some chargers and is no cause for concern. If your charger does not get warm during use, it does not mean that it is not working properly.

Failure to recharge the battery at least once a month may result in a battery that will no longer accept a charge.

CONNECTORS/HARDWARE MAINTENANCE

Brake

Check the brakes for proper function. When you squeeze the lever, the brake should provide positive braking action. When you apply the brake with the speed control on, the brake cut-off switch should stop the motor. Make sure that brakes are not rubbing.

Frame, Fork and Handlebars

Check for cracks or broken connections. Although broken frames are rare, it is possible for an aggressive rider to run into a curb or wall and wreck and bend or break a frame. Get in the habit of inspecting your scooter on a regular basis.

Tires

Periodically inspect the tires for excess wear, and regularly check the front tire pressure and re-inflate as necessary.

Safety Gear

Always wear proper protective gear such as an approved safety helmet. Elbow pads and kneepads are recommended. Always wear athletic shoes (lace-up shoes with rubber soles), never ride barefooted or in sandals, and keep shoelaces tied and out of the way of the wheels, motor and drive system.

Battery

Make sure the power switch is turned off whenever the scooter is not in use. Never store the product in freezing or below freezing temperatures! Freezing will permanently damage the battery.
Do not use this product for the first time until you have inflated the tires to the correct PSI and charged the battery for at least 18 hours. failure to follow these instructions may damage your product and void your warranty.

REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE

Turn power switch "OFF" before conducting any maintenance procedures.

Adjusting the Brakes

1. To adjust the brake cable play, thread the brake lever adjuster in or out 1/4 to 1/2 turn until the desired brake adjustment is attained. Most adjustments are complete at this step. If brake still needs further adjustment, proceed to step 2.
   
2. If the brake is too tight or too loose, use a 10mm open wrench to loosen the nut for additional adjustment on the brake cable. Securely tighten the nut when finished.
   

The brake is capable of skidding the rear tire and throwing an unsuspecting rider. Practice in an open area free from obstacles until you are familiar with the brake function. Avoid skidding to a stop as this can cause you to lose control and/or damage the rear tire.

Chain and Rear Tire Replacement

Tools required: Phillips screwdriver, 10mm wrench, two (2) 8mm wrenches, and two (2) 17mm wrenches.

1. With a Phillips screwdriver, loosen the two screws and remove the chain guard.
   
2. With a 10mm wrench, loosen the brake cable anchor and disconnect the cable.
   
3. With two 8mm wrenches, loosen brake housing anchor and disconnect. Keep the spacer and bolts together.
   
4. With a 10mm wrench, loosen both axle adjusters an equal amount, approximately five turns.
   
5. With two 17mm wrenches, loosen the axle. Slide the wheel forward to loosen the chain.
   
6. Remove wheel. Note the sequence of the hardware.

8. To hook up the brake housing anchor, align the cable guide adjuster and install the spacer and bolt. Do not tighten until final step.
   
9. Install the brake spring and thread the cable wire into the cable anchor. Thread the cable to its original position and tighten securely.
   
10. Install the axle adjusters and axle nuts. Tighten until they just barely hold the hardware in place.
    
11. Tighten both axle adjusters the same number of turns to finetune the tension on the chain and center the wheel.
    
12. Tighten the brake housing anchor securely. Test ride and check. Readjust as needed.
    
13. Replace the chain guard.
    

Front Tire Replacement

Tools required: two (2) 17mm wrenches and a flathead screwdriver.

1. Using two 17mm wrenches, loosen the front axle bolts by turning the wrenches counter clockwise.
   
2. Remove wheel and install replacement wheel.

Adjusting the Chain

Tools required: 10mm wrench, two (2) 8mm wrenches, and two (2) 17mm wrenches.

1. Using two 17mm wrenches, loosen the rear axle bolts by turning the wrenches counter clockwise.
   
2. Using two 8mm wrenches, loosen the brake housing anchor bolts which is located in the long slot on the left side of the rear fork.
   
3. Using a 10mm wrench, tighten the tension adjusters on the axle 1/8 to 1/4 turn to finetune the chain tension. Both adjusters must be tightened the exact same amount to maintain wheel alignment.
   
4. Once the tension is correct, tighten the axle bolts and brake housing anchor bolt. Test ride the scooter. Readjust as needed.
   

Note: This system of adjusters is common to motorcycles and BMX bicycles. If you are not familiar with it or do not feel comfortable performing the adjustment, consult an authorized Razor service center or a qualified BMX bike or motorcycle mechanic.
The chain should be "just taut" – in other words snug, but not piano-wire tight. The tension should be similar to the fan chain on an automobile. BE CAREFUL NOT TO ADJUST TOO TIGHT. The tensioning system can easily impart too much tension and snap the chain or bend the motor shaft. Adjust 1/8 to 1/4 turn at a time and check the tension each time.

Battery Care

Do not store the battery in temperatures above 75°F (23.8°C) or below -10°F (-23.3°C).

Charger

The charger supplied with the scooter should be regularly examined for damage to the cord, plug, enclosure and other parts, and, in the event of such damage, the scooter must not be charged until it has been repaired or replaced.
