Slide the foot pegs onto the front of the downtube, as shown, and tighten bolts securely.
Attaching Flag
- Assemble flag as shown

Inflating the Tires
The tires are inflated when shipped, but will invariably lose some pressure between the point of manufacturing and your purchase. Inflate the tires to the correct PSI before first time use.
Periodically check the tires. Reinflate when needed.
- Using a bicycle tire pump equipped for a Schrader valve, inflate the tires to the PSI indicated on the sidewall of the tire.
WARNING: Do not use the DXT Electric Drift Trike for the first time until you have inflated the tire to the correct PSI. Failure to do so may damage your DXT Electric Drift Trike and will void your warranty.
WARNING: Do not over inflate, as this could damage the tires or wheels.
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 tire, 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.
Checking Spoke Tension
- Verify spoke tension by grasping and shaking each spoke. Spoke should not be loose from hub. Look for any play between spoke flanges where it mates with hub. Try to turn nipple using your fingers. You should not be able to spin any nipple by hand. If one or more spokes are loose, or if you can turn any nipple using your fingers, all spokes must be checked and need to be tightened with a spoke tightened.
- Start with spoke closest to tire valve and tighten each nipple. In sequence, exactly 1/4 to 1/2 turn. A single 1/4 to 1/2 turn may not be enough to bring the spokes into proper tension. Continue tightening all spokes in sequence, no more than 1/2 turn until all spokes are tight.
WARNING: Regularly check the spoke tension and retighten the spokes whenever loose. If you have any doubt, ask an experienced motorcycle or bicycle mechanic to inspect your spokes to determine if the spokes need tightening or adjusting.
Note: Tightening each nipple more than a 1/2 turn each can cause the wheel to become distorted and wobbly, thus permanently damaging the wheel.
Setup Guide
To assemble the Razor DXT Electric Drift Trike, follow these steps:
- Unbox and inspect all components for any damage.
- Attach the handlebars to the frame using the provided bolts and wrench.
- Install the seat and adjust it to your desired height.

- Check all connections and ensure that everything is securely fastened before use.
Before operating, make sure to read through the user manual carefully and follow all safety guidelines.
CHARGING THE BATTERY
Your DXT Electric Drift Trike 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 stopping and starting may shorten ride time.
- Battery life can vary depending on proper maintenance and usage of the unit.
WARNING: 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 DXT Electric Drift Trike with a damp cloth.
The charger supplied with the DXT Electric Drift Trike should be regularly examined for damage to the cord, plug, enclosure and other parts. In the event of such damage, the DXT Electric Drift Trike 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)
- Charging complete - Green (Charged)
Note: Continue charging unit even if light turns green prior to 12 hours.
WARNING: Failure to recharge the battery at least once a month may result in a battery that will no longer accept a charge.
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.
- 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. Plug the charger into the charger port on the product. 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.
PRE-RIDE CHECKLIST
- Brake
Check the brake for proper function. When you squeeze the lever, the brake should provide positive braking action. - Tire/Wheels
Periodically inspect the tire/wheels for excess wear and replace as needed. Regularly check the tire pressure and inflate as needed. If you get a flat tire, the inner tube can be patched or a new tube can be purchased from Razor or an authorized repair center. - 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, bend or break the frame. Get in the habit of inspecting your product on a regular basis. - Hardware/Loose Parts
Check and secure all fasteners before every ride. 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” on page 1 of this manual. - Safety Gear
Always wear proper protective gear, such as an approved safety helmet. Elbow pads and kneepads are recommended. Always wear closed toe shoes (lace-up with rubber soles) and keep shoelaces tied and out of the way of the wheels. 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 product use. Check with your insurance company for information regarding insurance. - Be Careful!
Use extra caution on steep or long hills. Avoid excessive speeds. Never ride in traffic or on the street and watch your surroundings for pedestrians, bikers, boarders and skaters. Maintain a hold on the handlebars at all times.
