Razor Electric Scooter Owner’s Manual
SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING: Riding an E Prime does present potential risks and caution is required. Like any riding product, an E Prime has inherent hazards associated with its use (for example, falling off or riding it into a hazardous situation). Like any riding product, E Prime can and is 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.
WARNING: PARENTAL AND ADULT RESPONSIBILITY AND SUPERVISION IS NECESSARY:
Because products, like E Prime, 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 child to cope with
the hazards.
WARNING: NOT FOR RIDERS UNDER AGE 14 OR HEAVIER THAN 176 lb (80 kg). DO NOT EXCEED THE WEIGHT LIMIT OF 176 lb (80 kg) – including backpacks and other items that might be carried. Exceeding the weight limit could injure the rider and damage the E Prime. Rider weight alone also does not necessarily mean a person’s size is appropriate to fit or maintain control of the E Prime. 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 product.
Razor recommends that children under the age of 14 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 14 years or older is only an
estimate and can be affected by the rider’s size, weight, or skills – not
every rider 14 years old or older will be suited to the product. Certainly,
any rider unable to fit comfortably on the E Prime 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 E Prime.
Keep this product away from small children and remember that it is intended for use only by persons who are, at a minimum, completely comfortable and competent while operating.
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 the use of any ride-on product, 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.
DO NOT EXCEED THE WEIGHT LIMIT OF 176 lb (80 kg). Rider weight does not necessarily mean a person’s size is appropriate to fit or maintain control of the E Prime.
CHECK AND MAINTAIN PRODUCT CONDITIONS
Before use, check to confirm that covers and guards are in place and in
serviceable condition. Check that the wheels are free of flat spots from wear.
The product 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.
ACCEPTABLE RIDING PRACTICES AND CONDITIONS
Always check and obey any local laws or regulations which may affect the
locations where the E Prime may be used. Keep safely away from cars and motor
vehicle traffic at all times. Only use where allowed and with caution.
Do not activate the throttle unless you are on the E Prime and in a safe, outdoor environment suitable for riding. The electric scooter must be moving at least 3 mph (5 km/h) before the motor will engage. Once the throttle is activated the E Prime will move forward.
The normal powered top speed of this product will be approximately 15 mph (24 km/h), which can be affected by conditions, such as rider weight, inclines 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 scooter 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.
The E Prime 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 product 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. The E Prime 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 product.
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 or wheels while the motor is engaged.
Do not touch electric motor when in use or immediately after riding.
Never use headphones or a cell phone to talk or text when riding.
Never hitch a ride with a vehicle.
Do not ride your product in wet or icy weather and never immerse 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 scooter 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, and long pants are recommended. Always wear shoes and keep shoelaces tied and out of the way of the wheels and motor. Never ride barefooted or in sandals.
USING THE CHARGER
The charger supplied with the product should be regularly examined for damage to the cord, plug, enclosure and other parts. In the event of such damage, the product 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 product when not in use

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
