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 electric motor bike 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.
DO NOT USE NON-RAZOR PRODUCTS WITH YOUR RAZOR ELECTRIC MOTOR BIKE. The electric motor bike 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.

Inflating the Tires
Tires are inflated when shipped, but they invariably lose some pressure between the point of manufacturing and your purchase. Always inflate the tires to the correct PSI before first time use. Lower air pressure can result in a shorter ride time. Periodically check tires. Reinflate when needed.
Do not use the electric motor bike for the first time until you have inflated the tires to the correct PSI. Failure to do so may damage your electric scooter and void your warranty.
Do not over inflate, as this could damage tire or wheel.
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 motor bike 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.
Your electric motor bike may not have a fully charged battery; therefore you must charge the battery prior to use.
Charger
Note: Charger design may vary from one shown. Make sure power switch is in the OFF position.
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 motor bike with a damp cloth.
The charger supplied with the electric motor bike should be regularly examined for damage to the cord, plug, enclosure and other parts. In the event of such damage, the electric motor bike 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 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.
Failure to recharge the battery at least once a month may result in a battery that will no longer accept a charge.
Brakes
Check the brakes for proper function. When you squeeze the brake levers, the brakes should provide positive braking action. Make sure that brakes are not rubbing when the lever is released.
Tires
Periodically inspect the tires for excess wear and regularly check the tire pressure. Reinflate as necessary.
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 electric motor bike 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" of this manual.
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) 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 electric motor bike use. Check with your insurance company for information regarding insurance.
Turn power switch "OFF" before beginning repair or maintenance:
Adjusting the Brakes
Required Tool: 5 mm Allen Wrench (included)
The brakes are capable of causing the electric motor bike to skid the tire 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 or damage the tires.
Testing the Brakes. To use the brakes, squeeze the brake levers to increase the pressure on the brakes. The brake levers are fitted with a cable adjuster to compensate for cable stretch and/ or to fine-tune the lever movement to brake engagement. If brakes are not engaging properly, follow instructions for adjusting the brakes.
Replacing the Fuse
Required Tools: Phillips Screwdriver, 4 mm Allen Wrench (not included)
To prevent shock, please follow the instructions accordingly and do not skip any steps.
Replacing Front Wheel
Required Tools: Phillips Screwdriver, 14 mm and 17 mm Socket Wrenches (not included).

This manual contains important safety information. For your child's safety, it is your responsibility to review this information with your child and make sure that your child understands all warnings, cautions, instructions and safety topics. We recommend that you periodically review and reinforce the information in this manual with younger riders and that you are required to inspect and maintain your child's caster board to insure their safety.
Caster board riding can be a hazardous activity. Caster boards can, and are intended to move and it is therefore possible to get into dangerous situations and/or lose control and/or fall off. If such things occur you can be seriously injured or die.
LIKE ANY OTHER MOVING PRODUCT, USING A CASTER BOARD CAN BE A DANGEROUS ACTIVITY AND MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH EVEN WHEN USED WITH PROPER SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK AND USE COMMON SENSE.
FAILURE TO USE COMMON SENSE AND HEED THESE WARNINGS FURTHER INCREASES RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK AND WITH APPROPRIATE AND SERIOUS ATTENTION TO SAFE OPERATION. USE CAUTION.
ALWAYS INSPECT THE RIPSTIK PRIOR TO RIDING. Properly inspecting and maintaining your caster board can reduce the risk of injury. Always inspect your caster board before riding and regularly maintain it.
REGARDING USE OF NON-RAZOR PRODUCTS WITH YOUR RIPSTIK CASTER BOARD. Your caster board has been built to our design specifications. All the original equipment supplied at the time of sale were selected on the basis of their compatibility with the frame, casters, and all other parts. Certain after-market products may or may not be compatible with your RipStik caster board. Consult your retailer or contact us prior to modifying or replacing any component with a non-factory specified product.
CHECK LOCAL LAWS REGARDING CASTER BOARD USE. Check local laws and regulations to see where and how you may use your RipStik caster board legally. In many states and local areas caster board riders may be required BY LAW to wear a helmet. Check local laws and regulations regarding laws governing helmet use and caster board operation in your area.
Aggressive and other stunt-type riding reduce your ability to maneuver and control your caster board. Take the necessary precautions, such as wearing appropriate protective gear and practice in a safe area for stunt riding and free from obstructions.
You will see people on TV and videos or maybe even people you know doing tricks or stunts on a caster board. These are people who have been practicing a long time and who accept the risks of trick riding activity. Do not assume that you can attempt to do the same tricks without great risk.
NOTE: Your model may differ in apperance from the one depicted above.
Always inspect your caster board's wheel bolts and other hardware to make sure they are tight before each use. wHeels anD BearInGs
Under normal circumstances and conditions, RipStik wheels and wheel bearings are maintenance free. Nonetheless, it is the responsibility of the owner or guardian to periodically inspect the wheels for wear and tear, the axle for proper tightness, and the bearings for side-to-side play and loose parts.
When a wheel or wheel bearing develops play, this is an indication of excess wear and replacement is necessary. Replace immediately with only genuine RipStik wheels. Worn wheels/bearings are considered normal wear-and-tear and are not covered by the RipStik Limited Warranty. Wheels other than genuine RipStik wheels may not be compatible with your RipStik caster board. The use of anything other than genuine replacement parts may affect your warranty.
Wipe with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust.
Do not use industrial cleaners or solvents as they may damage the surfaces. Do not use alcohol, alcohol-based or ammonia-based cleaners as they may damage or dissolve the plastic components.
If you are having problems with your ripstik caster board, call toll free 866 - 467 - 2967.
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.
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 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.
THE RSF650 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 16 not be permitted to use the RSF650. 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 16 years or older for RSF650 only on estimate and can be affected by the rider's size, weight or skills not every child 16 years old will be suited to the RSF650. Certainly, any rider unable to fit comfortably on the product should not attempt to ride it, but 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. Razor emphasizes that adults are strongly advised not to disregard Razor's recommendations or permit younger children to ride the RSF650.
DO NOT EXCEED THE WEIGHT LIMIT OF 220 lb (100 kg) for RSF650. Rider weight alone also does not necessarily mean a person's size is appropriate to fit or maintain control of the RSF650. Keep this product away from small children and remember that this product is intended for use only by persons who are, at a minimum, completely comfortable and competent while operating the RSF650.
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 this product.
NOTICE: This manual contains many warnings and cautions concerning the consequences of failing to maintain, inspect or properly use your electric motor bike. Because any incident can result in serious injury or even death, we do not repeat the warning of possible serious injury or death each time such a possibility is mentioned.
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 electric 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. Replace loose or broken parts immediately.
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 twist-grip throttle on the handbars unless you are on the electric motor bike and in a safe, outdoor environment suitable for riding. The normal powered top speed of this electric motor bike will be approximately 17 mph (27 km/h), 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 electric 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.
This electric motor bike 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 electric 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. This electric motor bike 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 electric motor bike.
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, wheels, or drive train chain while the motor is running.
Never use headphones, a cell phone or text when riding.
Never hitch a ride with a vehicle.
Do not ride your electric motor bike in wet or icy weather and never immerse the electric motor bike 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 motor bike indoors.
PROPER RIDING ATTIRE
Always wear proper protective equipment, such as an approved safety helmet (with chin strap securely buckled), elbow pads and kneepads. 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 motor bike should be regularly examined for damage to the cord, plug, enclosure and other parts. In the event of such damage, the electric motor bike 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 electric motor bike when not in use.
Always disconnect from the charger prior to wiping down and cleaning your electric motor bike with damp cloth.
FAILURE TO USE COMMON SENSE AND HEED THE ABOVE WARNINGS INCREASES RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY. USE WITH APPROPRIATE CAUTION AND SERIOUS ATTENTION TO SAFE OPERATION.
