SAFETY WARNINGS
AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO PARENTS:
This manual contains important 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. All children and preteens should ride with adult guidance at all times. Razor USA recommends 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 scooter to ensure their safety.
GENERAL WARNING:
Scooter riding can be a hazardous activity.
Scooters can, and are intended to move and it is therefore possible to get
into dangerous situations and/or lose control and/or fall. If such things
occur you can be seriously injured or die. LIKE ANY OTHER MOVING
PRODUCT, USING A SCOOTER 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.
This manual contains many warnings and cautions concerning the consequences of failing to maintain, inspect or properly use your scooter. Because any incident can result in serious injury or even death, we do not repeat the warning of potential serious injury or death each time such a possibility is mentioned.

ACCEPTABLE RIDING PRACTICES AND CONDITIONS
Direct parental supervision is required. Scooters are meant to be used only in controlled environments free of potential traffic hazards and not on public streets. Do not allow your child to ride a scooter in any areas where vehicle traffic is present. Child must maintain a hold on the handlebars at all times. Never allow more than one child at a time to ride a scooter. Never use near steps, sloped driveways, hills, roadways, alleys or swimming pool areas. Keep fingers and other body parts away from the product when folding or unfolding (select models). Adults must not allow children to assist in assembling and/or folding or unfolding the scooter
Do not ride a scooter in wet weather. Scooters are intended for use on solid, flat, clean and dry surfaces, such as pavement or level ground without loose debris, such as rocks or gravel. Wet, slick or uneven and rough surfaces may impair traction and contribute to possible accidents. Do not ride a scooter in mud, ice, puddles or water. Never risk damaging surfaces, such as carpet or flooring, by use of a scooter indoors.
PROPER RIDING ATTIRE
Always ensure child is wearing proper protective equipment, such as an approved safety helmet. A helmet may be legally required by local law or regulation in your area. A child should always wear shoes and keep shoelaces tied and out of the way of the wheels. Never ride barefooted or in sandals. Knee pads and elbow pads are recommended.
WARNING: ALWAYS INSPECT SCOOTER PRIOR TO RIDING. Properly inspecting and maintaining your scooter can reduce the risk of injury. Always inspect your scooter before riding and regularly maintain it. Check and secure all fasteners before every ride. Replace worn or broken parts immediately.
WARNING: CHECK LOCAL LAWS REGARDING SCOOTER USE. Check local laws and regulations to see where and how you may use your Razor scooter legally. In many states and local areas scooter riders are required BY LAW to wear a helmet. Check local laws and regulations regarding laws governing helmet use and scooter operation in your area.

ASSEMBLY AND SET-UP
Attaching the Handlebars
Required Tool: 5 mm Allen Wrench (included with select models ONLY)
Loosen the collar clamp and slide it upward. Insert T-bar into the fork until
it bottoms out on the headset locknut.
With the front wheel pointed straight ahead and the handlebars square to the
front wheel and the Razor logo facing the front, tighten the clamp as shown.
Tighten securely. On the A4, alternately tighten each bolt until securely
tightened
WARNING: Failure to properly install and tighten the collar clamp may cause the rider to lose control and fall. If you are having difficulty understanding these instructions, please contact Razor Customer Service for assistance.
WARNING: Do not attempt to thread the handlebar into the front fork thread. Tighten collar clamp securely
Insert and secure the left and right handlebars by pressing the spring-loaded buttons and inserting them into the T-bar.
Unfolding the Scooter for First Time Use
To release the folding mechanism, place the scooter on the ground, put one
foot on the deck plate and push joint-release lever down. Raise T-bar up until
it is securely locked in the upright position.
Note: The joint-release lever is spring-loaded and will automatically
lock in the upright position when fully upright.
WARNING: Keep fingers clear of the pivoting mechanism when folding or unfolding the scooter. Make sure others are standing clear.
Make certain BOTH handlebars are properly locked onto the T-bar.
WARNING: Failure to properly engage the spring-loaded buttons may cause the handlebars to dislodge while riding and may cause you to lose control and fall. When correctly engaged the handlebars will not rotate nor will they move sideways. Note that when properly engaged, the springloaded buttons are clearly visible in the holes on the T-bar.
WARNING: Check hand grips and end caps regularly for wear or damage, as they are designed to aid in gripping handlebars and to provide some protection against possible impact. Replace immediately if worn, torn, damaged or missing.
Adjusting the Handlebar Height
To adjust the height of the handlebars, open the quick-release lever and slide
the T-bar to the desired position and resecure the quick-release lever to lock
into place. When the T-bar is raised to the maximum height, depress the push
button located directly below the quick-release lever to unlock the T-b
Note: The tension of the quickrelease lever can be adjusted by manually tightening or loosening the Allen bolt. Be careful not to overtighten. You should always be able to open and close the quick-release lever by hand and the T-bar shouldslide freely when the quick-release is open.
WARNING: Failure to properly secure the quick-release lever may cause the T-bar to telescope up or down while riding and may cause you to lose control and fall.
Collar Clamp
Required Tool: 5 mm Allen Wrench (included with select models ONLY)
Using a 5 mm Allen wrench, check that the collar clamp bolt(s) are tightened securely. This item is tightened and quality inspected at the factory, but there is a slight chance that the effects of shipping or handling may have caused the bolt(s) to loosen.
WARNING: Failure to properly install and/ or tighten the collar clamp may cause the rider to lose control and fall. If you are having difficulty understanding these instructions, please contact Razor Customer Service for assistance.
PRE-RIDE CHECKLIST
-
Deck and Handlebars
Check for cracks or broken connections. Although broken decks are rare, it is possible for an aggressive rider to run into a curb or object and wreck and bend or break the deck. Get in the habit of inspecting your scooter on a regular basis. -
Hardware/Loose Parts
Check and secure all fasteners before every ride. Make sure the collar clamp, quick-release lever (select models only), and handlebar spring buttons are locked properly in place before riding. 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. -
Be Careful!
You will see people on TV and maybe even people you know doing tricks and stunts. These are people who have been practicing on scooters for a very long time. Don’t try something until you are ready. Avoid steep inclines and don’t ride too fast — you can lose control and fall. Skateboard parks are not designed for scooters. 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.
USAGE
- How to Ride Place one foot on the baseboard, push forward with the other foot. Steer with both hands on the handlebars. For enhanced cornering, lean slightly into the direction of the turn.
- How to Stop For controlled stops, apply the brake by stepping on the rear brake. Razor recommends that you practice applying the brake at various speeds and in an open area free from obstructions before riding your scooter around others.
REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE
-
Cleaning Your Scooter
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 or soften the decals or decal adhesive. -
Baseboard/Steering Column Adjusting Screw (A4 ONLY) Required Tool: 3 mm Allen Wrench (not included)
Using a 3 mm Allen wrench and with the scooter in the upright and locked position, adjust the set screw at the baseboard until there is no free-play between the baseboard and the steering column. Be careful not to overtighten this screw as it need only be snug against the steering column. Verify the adjustment by releasing the steering column from the locked position and folding the scooter. The joint lever should not bind and the folding movement should be smooth. The spring-loaded mechanism should automatically lock and be fully seated in the upright position. -
Wheels and Bearings
Under normal circumstances and conditions, Razor 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 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 Razor wheels. Worn wheels/bearings are considered normal wear-and-tear and are not covered by the Razor Warranty. Wheels other than genuine Razor wheels may not be compatible with your Razor scooter. The use of anything other than genuine Razor replacement parts may affect your safety and will void your warranty. -
