Specifications subject to change without notice.

Please have your unit and 19 character product I.D. code with you before contacting Razor for warranty assistance and/or replacement parts.

Riding an electric scooter does present potential risks and caution is required. Like any riding product, an electric scooter has inherent hazards associated with its use (for example, falling off or riding it into a hazardous situation). Like any riding product, electric scooters 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.

PARENTAL AND ADULT RESPONSIBILITY AND SUPERVISION IS NECESSARY: Because products, like electric scooters, 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 child to cope with the hazards.

The recommended minimum rider age is 8 and older. Any rider unable to fit comfortably on the scooter should not attempt to ride it. A parent's decision to allow his or her child to ride this product should be based on the child's maturity, skill and ability to follow rules.

Keep this product away from small children and remember that it is intended for use only by persons who are, at a minimum, completely comfortable and competent while operating the scooter.

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 scooter 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 such products.

DO NOT EXCEED THE WEIGHT LIMIT OF 120 lb (54 kg). Rider weight does not necessarily mean a person's size is appropriate to fit or maintain control of the scooter.

CHECK AND MAINTAIN SCOOTER CONDITIONS
Before use, check to confirm that covers and guards are in place and in serviceable condition. Check that the brake is functioning properly, and that the wheels are free of flat spots from wear. The scooter 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 scooter may be used. Keep safely away from cars and motor vehicle traffic at all times. Only use where allowed and with caution.

Do not activate the push button throttle unless you are on the scooter and in a safe, outdoor environment suitable for riding. The electric scooter must be moving at least 3 mph (5 kmh) before the motor will engage.

The normal powered top speed of this scooter will be approximately 10 mph (16 kmh), which can be affected by conditions, such as rider weight, inclines 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 scooter 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.

The electric scooter is 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 scooter 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 scooter. The scooter is 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 scooter.

Do not ride at night or when visibility is limited.

Never use near steps or swimming pools.

Do not allow hands, feet, hair, body parts, clothing, or similar articles to come in contact with moving parts or wheels while the motor is running.

Do not touch hot brakes or electric motor when in use of immediately after riding.

Never use headphones or a cell phone to talk or text when riding.

Never hitch a ride with a vehicle.

Do not ride your scooter in wet or icy weather and never immerse the scooter in water, as the electrical and drive components could be damaged by water or create other possibly unsafe conditions. Never risk damaging surfaces, such as carpet or flooring, by use of an electric scooter indoors.

PROPER RIDING ATTIRE
Always wear proper protective equipment, such as an approved safety helmet (with chin strap securely buckled), elbow pads and knee-pads. A helmet may be legally required by local law or regulation in your area. A long-sleeved shirt, long pants, and gloves are recommended. Always wear athletic shoes (lace-up shoes with rubber soles) and keep shoelaces tied and out of the way of the wheels, motor and drive system. Never ride barefooted or in sandals.

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

Use only with the recommended charger.

Use caution when charging.

The charger is not a toy. Charger should be operated by an adult.

Do not operate charger near flammable materials.

Unplug charger and disconnect from scooter when not in use.

Always disconnect from the charger prior to wiping down and cleaning your scooter with damp cloth.

FAILURE TO USE COMMON SENSE AND HEED THE ABOVE WARNINGS FURTHER INCREASES RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK AND WITH APPROPRIATE AND SERIOUS ATTENTION TO SAFE OPERATION. USE CAUTION.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Remove contents from box. Remove the 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 was 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 ASSEMBLY OR MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES.

Estimated Assembly and Set-Up Time

Razor recommends assembly by an adult.
Allow up to 10 minutes for assembly, not including initial charge time.
Allow up to 12 hours for charge (see charging information).

Required Tool

5 mm Allen Wrench

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 not be compatible and will void the warranty.

Note: Electric scooter must be moving at least 3 mph (5 kmh) while pressing the push button throttle to engage motor.

ASSEMBLY AND SET-UP

Attaching the Handlebars

Tool Required: 5 mm Allen Wrench

1. Loosen the collar clamp. With a side to side twisting motion, push and twist to slide the stem onto the fork until it bottoms out on the headset locknut.
   
2. With the front wheel pointed straight ahead and the handlebars square to the front wheel, tighten both bolts on the clamp with a 5 mm Allen wrench. Tighten securely.
   

Do not attempt to thread the handle bar into the front fork thread.

Note: Make sure any cables/wires are out of the way before inserting the stem into the fork.

Failure to properly tighten the collar clamp 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.

Note: The cable and wire assembly from the handlebar must not wrap around the steering tube or handlebar. Sharp bends or twisting of the brake cable can cause the brakes to malfunction.

CHARGING THE BATTERY

Your electric scooter may not have a fully charged battery; therefore you must charge the battery prior to use.

• Initial charge time: 12 hours.
• Recharge time: up to 12 hours, even if the light turns green. Recommended maximum charging time is 24 hours.
• Always charge the battery immediately after riding.
• Fully charge battery before storing for extended periods of time.
• Unplug charger from the wall outlet when not in use.
• Failure to recharge battery periodically may result in a battery that will not accept a charge.
• Make sure the power switch is turned OFF when unit is not in use. If the power switch is left on for an extended period of time, the battery may reach a stage at which it will no longer hold a charge.
• To ensure long battery life, never store the product in freezing or below freezing temperatures! Freezing will permanently damage the battery.
• Run time: Up to 60 minutes of continuous ride time. Run time may vary depending on riding conditions, rider weight, climate, and/or proper maintenance.
• Constant starting and stopping may shorten ride time.
• Battery life can vary depending on proper maintenance and usage of the unit.

Note: Make sure power is turned OFF when unit is not in use. If the power switch is left on for an extended period of time, the battery may reach a stage at which it will no longer hold a charge.

Charger

1. Plug the charger plug into wall outlet. The light on the charger should be green.
   
   Note: If green light (LED) does not turn on, try a different outlet.
2. Plug the charger into the charger port. Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position. The light on the charger should turn red during charging. The light will turn green again when charging is complete.
   

Use ONLY with the recommended charger. Batteries are only to be charged under adult supervision. The charger is not a toy. Always disconnect the charger before wiping down and/or cleaning the electric scooter with a damp cloth.

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

Chargers have built-in overcharge protection to prevent battery from being overcharged.

Note: If the charger gets warm during regular use, this is a normal response 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.

Wall outlet - Green (stand by)
Wall outlet and unit - Red (charging)
Wall outlet and unit - Green (charged)

Note: Continue charging unit even if light turns green prior to 12 hours.

Battery charge can deplete over time. Periodically recharge battery when not in use.

PRE-RIDE CHECKLIST

Brake
Check the brake for proper function. When you squeeze the lever, the brake should provide positive braking action. When you apply the brake with the throttle on/engaged, the brake cut-off switch should cut power to the motor.

Wheels
Periodically inspect the wheels for excessive wear.

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 object and wreck and bend or break a frame. Get in the habit of inspecting your scooter on a regular basis.

Hardware/Loose Parts
Before every ride, check all parts, such as nuts, bolts, cables, fasteners, etc., to ensure they are secure and assembled correctly. There should not be any unusual rattles or sounds from loose parts or broken components. If the unit is damaged, do not ride. Reference "Safety Warnings".

Safety Gear
Always wear proper protective gear, such as an approved safety helmet. Elbow pads and knee-pads are recommended. Always wear athletic shoes (lace-up shoes with rubber soles) and keep shoelaces tied and out of the way of the wheels, motor and drive system. NEVER RIDE BAREFOOTED OR IN SANDALS.

Laws and Regulations
Always check and obey any local laws or regulations.

Insurance
Do not assume that your existing insurance policies necessarily provide coverage for scooter use. Check with your insurance company for information regarding insurance.
