Razor C25 Electric Hub Motor Scooter Instruction Manual

Razor C25 Electric Hub Motor Scooter

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

• This product is not a toy for young riders! You must be cautious, alert and take reasonable precautions to minimize such risks of falls, impacts or other problems.
• The Razor C25, therefore, is necessarily both similar to, and in many respects different from, previous Razor scooters.
• This product is not a toy for young riders! Razor emphasizes, therefore, the importance of riders understanding the risks associated with using literally any wheeled product around vehicle or pedestrian traffic and the specific risks of riding an electric scooter. Bluntly put, you could get hurt and your actions could cause injury to others.
• You must be cautious, alert and take reasonable precautions to minimize such risks of falls, impacts or other problems.
• Generally, the Razor C25 has longer battery life, multiple speed options (Pedestrian Mode up to 6 km/h (3.7 mph), Cruising Mode up to 15 km/h (9.3 mph) and Sport Mode up to 25 km/h (15.5 mph)), and a more efficient hub motor propulsion system which makes it more amenable to “commute” uses.
• The user must be, and is, responsible for determining whether local laws permit use of the Razor C25 in varying circumstances (there is no “uniform international law” in existence to establish universal riding conditions).
• The rider must be, and is, responsible for acting maturely, carefully, and with respect for local rules of the road when riding, and the rider must be, and is, responsible for assessing and minimizing effects of potentially adverse riding conditions including darkness or impaired visibility, fog, rain, snow, hail, ice or electrical storms, which increase dangers inherent in operating any scooter.
• The rider must be, and is, responsible for adjusting riding behavior and braking distance to suit the weather and traffic conditions, and also to recognize that riding in low visibility conditions decreases your ability to see and be seen, especially on public streets and around vehicles or pedestrians.
• The Razor C25 head- and tail-lights may reduce such risks, and riders also are encouraged to seek to enhance their visibility/conspicuity through use of higher visibility garments, lights or other reflective materials when riding in reduced visibility circumstances. Razor absolutely recommends that any rider wear a proper helmet to minimize potential head injuries.
• Use of the Razor C25 scooter is recommended for mature riders — using age 18+ (the generally recognized age of “legal consent”) as a guide.
• Riders of the Razor C25 certainly must respect and adhere to all locally applicable laws and rules applicable to the use of such products.

INSTALLATION

Initial charge time: 8 hours.

Riding an Electric Scooter Presents Potential Risks.

•  Like any riding product, an electric scooter can be hazardous (for example, falling off or riding into a hazardous situation). Electric scooters are, of course, meant to move and it is therefore possible for a rider to lose control or otherwise get into dangerous situations.
•  Riders must recognize that if such things occur, a rider can be seriously injured or possibly die, even when using safety equipment and taking other safety precautions.

USE SCOOTERS AT YOUR OWN RISK AND USE COMMON SENSE.

Parental and Adult Responsibility and Supervision are Necessary to assure use by mature riders. Keep this product away from small children. Because scooters can be hazardous — and not every product is appropriate for every age or size of child — 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. Parents and supervising adults need to select riding products appropriate for the age of the child who will ride the electric scooter and take care to prevent children who may be too immature or inexperienced for a product’s characteristics to endanger themselves around it. Parental supervision in situations in which children of various ages may have access to the same riding products, is important.

•  Razor recommends that children under the age of 18 not be permitted to use this product. 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 18 years or older is only an estimate and can be affected by the rider’s size, weight, or skills – not every rider 18 years old or older will be suited to the product.
•  Maximum rider weight 100 kg – including backpacks and other items that might be carried. Any load attached to the handlebar will affect the stability of the electric 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.

Check Scooter Before Use – Maintain After Use

•  Before use, confirm that any and all guards or other covers are in place and in serviceable condition, that the brakes and lights are functioning properly and that tire(s) have sufficient tread remaining. Make sure that the tires are inflated to the correct PSI and that the rear wheel has no flat areas or excessive wear.
•  After use, maintain and repair scooter in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications in this manual. Use only the manufacturer’s authorized replacement parts. Do not modify this scooter from the manufacturer’s original design and configuration.

Where to Ride the C25

•  The C25 electric scooter can operate more quietly than other motorized products may operate. Use care when in the vicinity of pedestrians or others who may have difficulty hearing your approach. Use handbell to sound warnings when appropriate.
•  Always check and obey any local laws or regulations which may affect the locations where this product may be used. Keeping away from cars and motor vehicle traffic provides the highest protection against risk of traffic-related injuries. For mature riders seeking to operate this product as legally permitted for commuting applications, the increased risks presented by traffic certainly emphasizes that the need for caution, personal responsibility and compliance with local laws is imperative and is the rider’s responsibility. Only use where allowed and with caution.
•  Ride defensively. Be careful to avoid pedestrians, skaters, skateboards, bikes, children or animals who may enter your path. Respect the rights and property of others.
•  This product 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 lessen traction and increase the risk of accidents.
•  Do not ride the 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 ride your scooter in wet or icy weather and never immerse this product 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 this product indoors.
•  Never use near steps or swimming pools.
•  It is recommended that you dismount at crossings where vehicle traffic may be present.
•  Never ride your product while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

How to Ride the C25

•  NOTE: This electric scooter must be moving at 5 km/h (3 mph) before the motor will engage.
•  25 km/h (15.5 mph) max speed.
•  Do not activate the throttle unless you are on the product and in a safe outdoor environment suitable for riding.
•  Hold the handlebars at all times while you are riding.
•  Do not touch the brakes or hub motor on your scooter when in use or immediately after riding as these parts can become very hot.
•  Avoid high speeds, as you might have on downhill rides, where you might lose control.
•  Riding at night or when visibility is limited increases risks of accident or injury. Should the C25 scooter be ridden in such conditions, use of lights and additional measures to increase rider visibility and scooter conspicuity are advised.
•  Do not attempt or do stunts or tricks on the product. The product is not strong enough to withstand misuse and abuse such as jumping, curb grinding or any other type of stunts. Racing, stunt riding, or other maneuvers also increase the risk of loss of control, or may cause uncontrolled rider actions or reactions. All of these could result in serious injury or possibly death.
•  Never allow more than one person at a time to ride this product.
•  Do not allow hands, feet, hair, body parts, clothing, or similar articles to come in contact with moving parts or wheels.
•  Never use headphones or a cell phone when riding.
•  Never hitch a ride with a vehicle. Proper Riding Equipment, Clothes, Shoes
•  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. In addition, a long-sleeved shirt, long pants, and gloves are recommended.
•  Always wear athletic shoes (lace-up shoes with rubber soles), never ride barefoot or in sandals, and keep shoelaces tied and away from the wheels, motor and drive system.

WARNING:

As with any mechanical component, an electric scooter is subject to high stresses and wear. The various materials and components may react differently to wear or fatigue. If the expected service life for a component has been exceeded, it may break suddenly, therefore risking causing injuries to the user. Cracks, scratches and discoloration in the areas subject to high stresses indicate that the component has exceeded its service life and should be replaced.

Storage
Prolonged exposure to UV rays, rain and the elements may damage the enclosure materials; store indoors when not in use.

How to Stop

For controlled stops, apply the brakes by squeezing the brake lever (D) on handlebar. Razor recommends that you practice applying the brakes at various speeds and in an open area free from obstructions before riding your scooter around others. When the brakes are applied the tail/brake light will glow brighter. The brake light is always functional and independent of the other lights being activated.

• Option 1 – Release the throttle (C) and apply the brakes, by squeezing the brake lever (D), until the unit comes to a complete stop.
• Option 2 – Release the throttle (C) and step on the rear-fender brake, the power will cut off and then product will slow to a stop. Put down the kickstand.

Changing the Speed Mode

Press the power button quickly two (2) times to select the desired mode

• The Pedestrian mode max speed is up to 6 km/h (3.7 mph) as shown by one bar at the top of the display.
• The Cruising mode max speed is up to 15 km/h (9.3 mph) as shown by two bars at the top of the display
• The Sport mode max speed is up to 25 km/h (15.5 mph) as shown by three bars at the top of the display

Warning:

The brakes are 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.

Note:

• Practice riding only in wide open areas clear from curbs, parking blocks and other obstacles. Impacting the wheels against any hard surface can damage the wheels. Wheels are not covered under the limited warranty.
• The C25 display setting at the factory is in kilometers. If you would like to change the display to reflect miles, press the power button quickly three (3) times to select the desired mode.
• As an additional safety feature, the scooter is designed to cut power to the motor when the brakes are applied. Note: Motor will re-engage, (without having to kick to start), if brakes are released and throttle is applied before scooter has slowed down under 5 km/h (3 mph).
