SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING: Riding the E100, E200 or E300 scooter can be a hazardous activity. Certain conditions may cause the equipment to fail without fault of the manufacturer. Like other electric vehicles, the scooter 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 E100, E200 or E300 scooter. 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 recommends that you periodically review and reinforce the information in this manual with younger riders, and that you inspect and maintain your children’s vehicle to insure their safety.
The recommended rider ages of 8 and older for the E100 scooter and 12 and older for the E200 and E300 scooters are only estimates, and can be affected by the rider’s size, weight or skills. Any rider unable to fit comfortably on the scooter 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 it is intended for use only by persons who are, at a minimum, completely comfortable and competent while operating the vehicle.
DO NOT EXCEED THE WEIGHT LIMIT OF 120 pounds for the E100 and E150 scooter or 220 pounds for the E200 and E300 scooters.
Rider weight does not necessarily mean a person’s size is appropriate to fit or maintain control of the scooter.
Do not touch the brakes or motor on your scooter when in use as these parts can become very hot.
Refer to the 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 E100, E200 or E300 scooter may be used.

Failing to properly adjust and tighten the clamps and retainers that affix the handlebars and folding system can cause you to lose control and fall. When properly adjusted, you cannot twist the front wheel out of line with the handlebars or move the T-tube out of adjustment. If you can twist or force these components to move or come off by hand, readjust and properly retighten clamp mechanisms.
Do not attempt or do stunts or tricks on your E100, E200 or E300 scooter. The scooters are not made to withstand abuse from misuse such as jumping, curb grinding or any other type of stunts.
Maintain a hold on the handlebars at all times.
Never carry passengers or allow more than one person at a time to ride the scooter.
Never use near steps or swimming pools.
Keep your fingers and other body parts away from the chain, 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 vehicle.
Do not ride your scooter in wet or icy weather and never immerse the scooter in water, as the electrical and drive components could be damaged by water or create other possibly unsafe conditions.
The E100, E200 and E300 scooters are 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 drive your 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 an E100, E200 or E300 scooter 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), elbow pads and kneepads. A helmet may be legally required by local law or regulation in your area. A long-sleeved shirt, long pants, and gloves are recommended. Always wear athletic shoes (lace-up shoes with rubber soles), never drive 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 E100, E200 or E300 scooter should be regularly examined for damage to the cord, plug, enclosure and other parts, and in the event of such damage, the bike must not be charged until the charger has been repaired or replaced.
Use only with the recommended charger.
The charger is not a toy.
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 INCREASES RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY. USE WITH APPROPRIATE CAUTION AND SERIOUS ATTENTION TO SAFE OPERATION.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Remove contents from box. Remove the foam separators that protect the components from damage during shipping. Inspect the contents of the box for scratches in the paint, dents or kinked cables that may have occurred during shipping. Because the scooter 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 with experience in bicycle mechanics. Allow up to 20 minutes for assembly, not including initial charge time. Allow up to 12 hours for initial charge (see page 3 for charging information.

ASSEMBLY AND SET-UP
q Charging the Battery
Your electric scooter may not have a fully charged battery. Therefore it is a good idea to charge the battery prior to use.
• Initial charge time: 12 hours • Run time: up to 40 minutes
• Recharge time: up to 8 hours, • Average battery life: 250 charge/discharge cycles Battery should be recharged a minimum of 8 hours after each use. When the vehicle is not in regular use, recharge the battery at least once a month until normal use is resumed.
Charger Plug
Charger Port
1 Plug the charger port into the
port on the scooter. The charger works with the power switch in either the on or off position. The charging input, on/off switch and overload breaker are located under the deck at the front left-hand side.
2 Plug the charger plug into a
wall outlet.
q Attaching the Handlebars
WARNING: Always
disconnect your scooter from the charger before cleaning with liquid.
Note: If your charger does not look like the one illustrated, your unit has been supplied with an alternative charger. The specifications and charging procedure would not change.
The charger has a small window with one LED or two LEDs to indicate the charge status. Refer to the illustration on the charger unit for the actual “charging” and “charged” status indications for your model charger.
Chargers have built-in over­charge protection to prevent battery from being over-charged.
Be sure to properly align the groove on the charger input plug with the corresponding socket on the case; otherwise, no charging action will occur.
1 Loosen the locking knob
and swing to the 6 o’clock po­sition to unfold the handlebar.
4 Using a 6mm hexagonal
key wrench, tighten the wedge by turning the bolt clockwise. The wedge is properly tightened when the handlebars cannot be twisted out of alignment with the front wheel.
2 Remove the plastic protector
covering the base of the handle­bar assembly. Insert the “quill” part of the handlebar assembly into the fork. You may have to loosen the wedge to allow it to slip into the fork.
5 Pivot the handlebar assembly
upright.
3 Slide the quill into the
fork until it bottoms on the headset.
6 Swing the locking knob to
the 12 o’clock position and tighten by hand as firmly as possible.
WARNING: Failure
to recharge the battery at least once a month may result in a battery that will no longer accept a charge.
WARNING: Failure to properly tighten the wedge may allow the handlebars to dislodge while riding and may cause you to lose control and fall. When correctly tightened, the handlebars will not rotate out of alignment with the front wheel under normal circumstances.
WARNING: Keep your fingers clear of the pivoting mechanism when folding or unfolding the scooter, and make sure others are standing clear.
Note: The cable and wire assembly from the handlebar must not wrap around the steering tube or handlebar as shown in step 3. Sharp bends or twisting of the brake cable can cause the brakes to malfunction.

ASSEMBLY AND SET-UP
q Adjusting the Handlebar Height (E100/E200/E300 only)
1 Pull the quick-release lever
outward.
2 Slide the T-tube to the
desired position and secure by pushing the quick-release lever.
3 The tension of the quick-
release clamping mechanism can be adjusted by tightening or loosening the bolt with your fingers.
q Riding Your Scooter
Testing the Brakes – To use the brakes, squeeze the front and back brake levers to increase the pressure on the brake. The brake lever is fitted with a cable adjuster to compensate for cable stretch and/or to fine-tune the lever movement to brake engagement. If brake is not engaging properly, follow instructions for adjusting the brakes on page 5.
Note: The E100 must be going 3 mph before the motor will start. Kick to 3 mph then activate the speed control while simultaneously pressing the green“go” button to engage the motor.
WARNING: Failure
to properly engage the quick­release clamp may cause the T-tube to move up or down while riding, which may cause you to lose control and fall. With the quick-release properly adjusted and engaged, the handlebars will not move up or down.
Note: Be careful not to over­tighten. You should be able to open and close the quick­release lever by hand, and the T-tube should move up and down freely with the quick­release open.
REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE
Check the Razor web site for any updates on the latest repair and maintenance procedures.
Turn power switch off before conducting any maintenance procedures.
q Adjusting the Brakes
1 To adjust the brake cable
play, thread the brake lever adjuster in or out 1/4 to 1/2 turn until the desired brake adjust­ment is attained. Most adjustments are complete at this step. If brake still needs further adjustment, proceed to step 2.
2 (E100)
Inspect the brake pads (A) for proper alignment against the wheel or excess wear. To realign brake pads, loosen the fixing nut (B) and adjust the pad to contact the rim. Retighten and test the function, readjust as needed.
2 (E125, E200 & E300)
If the brake lever adjuster is threaded outward and the brake still has too much slack, use the rear brake adjuster for additional adjustment.
WARNING: The
brake is capable of skidding the tire and throwing an unsuspecting rider. Practice in an open area free from obstacles until you are familiar with the brake function. Avoid skidding to a stop as this can cause you to lose control or damage the rear tire.

REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE
q Inflating the Tires
Tires are inflated when shipped, but they invariably lose some pressure between the point of manufacturing and your purchase.
E150 / E200 / E300 Rear Tire
1 Use the special valve
extender/adapter supplied. The valve adapter is located in the bag with the owners manual supplied at the time of purchase.
E150 / E200 / E300 Front Tire and E100 Tires
2 Align the access hole in
the drive sprocket with the tire valve. Thread the adapter completely onto the valve and attach the pump. Inflate to the PSI indicated on the tire sidewall.
3 Remove valve adapter
immediately after inflating.
WARNING: Failure to remove the valve adapter after inflating will cause the inner tube and/or adapter to be severed by the rear drive sprocket.
Note: If you lose the adapter, a valve stem extender can be purchased at almost any auto parts store.
Note: The pressurized air supplies found at gasoline stations are designed to inflate high-volume automobile tires. If you decide to use such an air supply to inflate your electric scooter tires, first make sure the pressure gauge is working, then use very short bursts to inflate to the correct PSI. If you inadvertently over-inflate the tire, release the excess pressure immediately.
1 Using a bicycle style tire
pump equipped for a Schrader­type valve, inflate the front tire to the PSI indicated on the sidewall of the tire.

REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE
q Adjusting the Chain
Tools required: 10mm wrench, two (2) 8mm wrenches, and two (2) 17mm wrenches.
Note: This system of adjusters
is common to motorcycles and BMX bicycles. If you are not familiar with it or do not feel comfortable performing the ad­justment, consult an authorized Razor service center or a quali­fied BMX bike or motorcycle mechanic.
1 Using two 17mm wrenches,
loosen the rear axle bolts by turning the wrenches counter clockwise.
4 Once the tension is correct,
tighten the axle and brake an­chor bolt. Test run the scooter. Readjust as needed.
2 Using two 8mm wrenches,
loosen the brake housing anchor which is located in the long slot on the left side of the rear fork.
3 Using a 10mm wrench,
tighten the tension adjusters on the axle 1/8 to 1/4 turn to fine­tune the chain tension. Both adjusters must be tightened the exact same amount to maintain wheel alignment.
The chain should be “just taut” – in other words snug, but not piano-wire tight. The tension should be similar to the fan chain on an automobile. BE CAREFUL NOT TO ADJUST TOO TIGHT. The tensioning system can easily impart too much ten­sion and snap the chain or bend the motor shaft. Adjust 1/8 to 1/4 turn at a time and check the tension each time.

REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE
q Chain and Rear Tire Replacement
Tools required: Phillips screwdriver, 10mm wrench, two (2) 8mm wrenches, and two (2) 17mm wrenches.
1 With a Phillips screwdriver,
loosen the two screws and remove the chain guard.
4 With a 10mm wrench, loosen
both axle adjusters an equal amount, about five turns.
2 With a 10mm wrench,
loosen the brake cable anchor and disconnect the cable.
5 With two 17mm wrenches,
loosen the axle. Push the wheel forward in the slots to loosen the chain.
3 With two 8mm wrenches,
loosen brake housing anchor and disconnect. Keep the spacer and washers together.
6 Pull the wheel out. Note the
arrangement of the hardware sequence. The spacer order is small, medium and large, with the small spacer between the brake and frame, the medium between the brake and wheel and the long between the wheel and frame.
7 Install new chain or wheel by
maneuvering the chain onto the sprocket and slipping the axle into the slots on the frame.
8 To hook up the brake housing
anchor, align the cable guide adjuster and install the spacer and bolt. Do not tighten until final step.
9 Install the brake spring and
thread the cable wire into the cable anchor. Thread the cable to its original position and tighten securely.
