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 inspect and maintain your child’s scooter to ensure their
safety.
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.
- Always wear safety equipment, such as helmet, knee pads and elbow pads. Always wear a helmet when riding your scooter and keep the chinstrap securely buckled.
- Always wear shoes.
- Ride on smooth, paved surfaces away from motor vehicles.
- Avoid sharp bumps, drainage grates, and sudden surface changes. Scooter may suddenly stop.
- Avoid streets and surfaces with water, sand, gravel, dirt, leaves, and other debris. Wet weather impairs traction, braking, and visibility.
- Do not ride at night.
- Brake will get hot from continuous use. Do not touch after braking.
- Avoid excessive speed associated with downhill rides.
- Adults must assist children in the initial assembly and/or adjustment procedures to fold/unfold scooter, and adjust handlebar and steering to height.
- Obey all local traffic and scootering laws and regulations.
- Watch out for pedestrians.
- Do not exceed 220 lb (100 kg) total weight on the A5 Prime scooter.
- 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.
- Do not allow children under age eight (8) to use the scooter. All children and preteens should ride with adult supervision at all times.
- Rider weight does not necessarily mean a child’s size is appropriate to fit or maintain control of the scooter.
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.
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. Avoid excessive speeds that can be associated with
downhill rides. Never risk damaging surfaces, such as carpet or flooring, by
use of a scooter indoors. Do not ride at night or when visibility is impaired.
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.
FAILURE TO USE COMMON SENSE AND HEED THE ABOVE WARNINGS FURTHER INCREASES
RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK AND WITH APPROPRIATE AND SERIOUS
ATTENTION TO SAFE OPERATION. USE CAUTION.**
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 that may have occurred during shipping. Because your scooter
was 95% assembled and packed at the factory, there should not be any problems,
even if the box has a few scars or dents.
Required Tool
WARNING: DO NOT USE NON-RAZOR PRODUCTS WITH YOUR SCOOTER.
Razor scooters have 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 AND SET-UP
Unfolding the Scooter for First Time Use
- To release the folding mechanism, place the scooter on the ground. Slide the Anti-Rattle knob up to raise T-bar. Turn knob completely counterclockwise and continue raising T-bar until it is locked in the upright position.
- Turn knob clockwise to tighten and engage the Anti-Rattle mechanism.
Note: To activate the Anti-Rattle feature, turn the knob clockwise. Note
there is no need to overtighten.
To fold, loosen the Anti-Rattle knob (by turning knob counterclockwise) prior
to pulling up the Anti-Rattle knob to release the folding mechanism. For
instructions on folding see page 8.
WARNING: Keep fingers clear of the pivoting mechanism when folding or unfolding the scooter. Make sure others are standing clear.
Adjusting the Handlebar Height
- The tension of the quick-release 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 should slide freely when the quick-release lever is open.
- 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.
Note: When the T-bar is raised to the maximum height, depress the push button located directly below the quickrelease lever to unlock the T-bar.
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.
Attaching the Handlebars
Required Tool: 5 mm Allen Wrench (included)
-
Raise handlebars to desired height. (See page 4 for instructions.)
-
Loosen the collar clamp and slide it upward.
-
Insert T-bar into the fork until it bottoms out on the headset locknut.
Note: If necessary, carefully twist the T-bar side to side while pushing downward until T-bar 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.
WARNING: Do not attempt to thread the handlebar into the front fork
thread. Tighten clamp securely.
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.
Collar Clamp
Required Tool: 5 mm Allen Wrench (included)
Using a 5 mm Allen wrench, check that the collar clamp bolts 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 bolts to loosen.

Safety Gear
Always wear proper protective equipment, such as an approved safety helmet,
elbow pads and kneepads. Always wear shoes (lace-up with rubber soles) and
keep shoelaces
tied and out of the way of the wheels. Never ride barefooted or in sandals.
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-fender 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.
How to Use Kickstand
Press down on kickstand with foot, pull scooter back and up onto kickstand. Do
not stand or ride on scooter when kickstand is deployed. Move scooter forward
to retract kickstand.
Folding Scooter
- To fold scooter you must first deactivate the AntiRattle feature. Turn the knob counterclockwise to loosen
- Pull the Anti-Rattle knob up.
- Lower T-Bar to fold.
WARNING: Keep fingers clear of the pivoting mechanism when folding or unfolding the scooter. Make sure others are standing clear.
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.
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.
