SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING: Riding an electric product can be a hazardous activity.
Certain conditions may cause the equipment to fail without fault of the
manufacturer. Like other electric products, the Ground Force Drifter can
and is intended to move, and it is therefore possible to lose control, fall off
and/or get into dangerous situations that no amount of care, instruction or
expertise can eliminate. If such things occur you can be seriously injured
or die, even when using safety equipment and other precautions. RIDE 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 electric
product. Because any incident can result in serious injury or even death, we
do not repeat the warning of possible serious injury or death each time such
a possibility is mentioned.
APPROPRIATE RIDER USE AND
PARENTAL SUPERVISION
This manual contains important safety information. It is your responsibility
to review this information and make sure that all riders understand all
warnings, cautions, instructions and safety topics and assure that young
riders are able to safely and responsibly use this product. Razor USA
recommends that you periodically review and reinforce the information in
this manual with younger riders, and that you inspect and maintain your
children’s product to insure their safety.
The recommended rider age of 8 years or older is only an estimate and
can be affected by the rider’s size, weight or skills. Any rider unable to fit
comfortably on the Ground Force Drifter should not attempt to ride it.
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.
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.
DO NOT EXCEED THE WEIGHT LIMIT OF 140lbs (64kg). Rider weight does not
necessarily mean a person’s size is appropriate to fit or maintain control of
the Ground Force Drifter.
Do not touch the brakes or electric motor on your electric product when in
use as they can become very hot.
Refer to the following section on safety for additional warnings.
ACCEPTABLE RIDING PRACTICES AND
CONDITIONS
Always check and obey any local laws or regulations which may
affect the locations where the Ground Force Drifter may be used.
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 Ground Force Drifter is meant to be used on private property and on
closed courses and not on public streets or sidewalks. Do not ride your
electric product in any areas where pedestrian or product traffic is present.
Do not activate the throttle unless you are on the product and in a safe,
outdoor environment suitable for riding.
This product was manufactured for performance and durability, but is not
impervious to damage. Jumping or other aggressive riding can over-stress

and damage any product, including the Ground Force Drifter, and the rider
assumes all risks associated with high-stress activity.
Be careful and know your limitations. Risk of injury increases as the degree
of riding difficulty increases. The rider assumes all risk associated with
aggressive riding activities.
Maintain a hold on the steering wheel at all times.
Never carry passengers or allow more than one person at a time to ride the
electric product.
Never use near steps or swimming pools.
Keep your fingers and other body parts away from the drive chain, steering
system, wheels and all other moving components.
Never use headphones or a cell phone when riding.
Never hitch a ride with another product.
Do not ride the Ground Force Drifter in wet or icy weather and never immerse
the electric product in water, as the electrical and drive components could get
damaged by water or possibly create other unsafe conditions.
Wet, slick, bumpy, uneven or rough surfaces may increase risks. Do not ride
the electric product 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 using an electric product indoors.
Do not ride at night or when visibility is limited.
PROPER RIDING ATTIRE
Always wear proper protective equipment such as an approved safety helmet
(with chin strap securely buckled). A helmet may be legally required by local
law or regulation in your area. Elbow pads and kneepads, a long-sleeved
shirt, long pants and gloves are recommended. Always wear athletic shoes
(lace-up shoes with rubber soles), never ride barefooted or in sandals and keep
shoelaces tied and out of the way of the wheels, motor and drive system.
USING THE CHARGER
The charger supplied with the electric 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.
Make sure power switch is in the “off” position, unplug charger and
disconnect from product when not in use.
Do not exceed charging time.
Always disconnect from the charger prior to wiping down and cleaning your
scooter with liquid.
FAILURE TO USE COMMON SENSE AND HEED THE ABOVE WARNINGS

CAUTION AND SERIOUS ATTENTION TO SAFE OPERATION.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

shipping. Inspect the contents of the box for scratches in the paint, dents or kinked cables that may have
occurred during shipping. Because the Ground Force Drifter 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.
Estimated Assembly and Set-Up Time
Razor recommends assembly by an adult.
Allow up to 45 minutes for assembly, not including initial charge time.
Allow up to 12 hours for initial charge (see page 5 for charging information).

alternately tighten each of the bolts
on the steering wheel clamp. When
