AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO PARENTS: This
manual contains important information. For your child’s safety, initial setup
and steering tube installation require adult assistance for young riders. 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. Razor USA recommends that you periodically review and reinforce the
information in this manual with younger riders and you are required to inspect
and maintain your child’s scooter to insure 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.
• 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.

• Obey all local traffic and scootering laws and regulations.
• Watch out for pedestrians.

are for children ages five (5) and above. Children under age eight (8) should
ride with adult supervision at all times. All children and preteens should
ride with adult guidance at all times.
• Rider weight does not necessarily mean a child’s size is appropriate to fit or
maintain control of the 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.
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.
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, never ride
barefooted or in sandals, and keep shoelaces tied and out of the way of
the wheels. Knee pads and elbow pads are recommended.
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.
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.
WARNING: CHECK LOCAL LAWS REGARDING SCOOTER USE.
