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. 

WARNING:  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.

Assembly & Setup

Attaching the Handlebars

Tools Required: 5 mm Allen wrench

1. Loosen the collar clamp. With a twisting motion, push and twist to slide the handlebar onto the fork.

2. With the front wheel pointed straight ahead and the handlebars square to the front wheel, tighten both bolts on the clamp as shown with a 5 mm Allen wrench. Tighten securely.

   

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

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 located in the end of the right handlebar grip.
2. Open the round cover located on the chain guard by sliding the cover downward. Align the opening in the sprocket with the valve stem. Thread the valve extender completely onto the valve stem and attach the pump. Inflate to the PSI indicated on the tire sidewall.

3. Remove valve extender immediately after inflating and close the round cover.

   

   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.

   

WARNING: Failure to remove the valve extender after inflating will cause the inner tube and/or adapter to be severed by the rear sprocket.
Note: If you lose the valve  extender, contact customer service  or one can be purchased at most auto parts stores.
WARNING:   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 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.

Attaching the Seat

Tools required: Two (2) 4 mm Allen wrenches and Phillips screwdriver.

1. Attach the seat to the seat post with two (2) 4mm Allen wrenches.  See note below.
2. Remove the four screws on the middle of the deck with the 4 mm Allen 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 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 40 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.

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 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. 

   

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 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.
WARNING: Battery charge can deplete over time. Failure to recharge the battery at least once a month may result in a battery that will no longer accept a charge.

PRE-RIDE CHECKLISPRE-RIDE CHECKLISTT

• Brake
  Check the brakes for proper function. When you squeeze the lever, the brake should provide positive braking action. Make sure brake is 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 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” 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 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.
