SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING: Riding the E500S scooter can be a hazardous
activity. Certain conditions may cause the equipment to fail without
fault of the manufacturer. Like other electric vehicles, the E500S
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
E500S 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 scooter to insure their
safety.
The recommended rider age of 14 and older for the E500S scooter
is only an estimate, 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 this
product is intended for use only by persons who are, at a minimum,
completely comfortable and competent while operating the scooter.
DO NOT EXCEED THE WEIGHT LIMIT OF 220
POUNDS.
Rider weight does not necessarily mean a person’s size is
appropriate to fit or maintain control of the E500S scooter.
Do not touch the brake or motor on your E500S scooter when in use
as these parts can become very hot.
Refer to the section on safety reminders for additional warnings.
ACCEPTABLE RIDING PRACTICES AND
CONDITIONS
Always check and obey any local laws or regulations which may
affect the locations where the E500S scooter 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.

Do not attempt or do stunts or tricks on your E500S scooter. The
scooter is 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 E500S scooter.
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 vehicle.
Do not ride the E500S 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 E500S scooter 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 the
E500S 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 E500S scooter
indoors.
Do not ride at night or when visibility is impaired.
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
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 E500S 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 E500S 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 E500S 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).

Port
Charger
Plug
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.
2 Plug the charger plug into a
wall outlet.
q Attaching the Handlebars
WARNING:
Always disconnect your E500S
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 overcharged.
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 Insert handlebar assembly
into fork.
2 Handlebar assembly should
be all the way in with the collar
covering the threaded portion
of the fork. Spin the handlebar
stem clockwise down onto the
fork to ease installation.
3 Once stem is all the way
down and no more threads
on fork are visible, tighten
two collar bolts with 5 mm
hexagonal key wrench.
q Attaching the Seat
1 Remove the four bolts
from the frame with the 5 mm
hexagonal key wrench.
2 Position seat onto frame and
align holes.
3 Secure seat with the
four bolts.
q Riding Your Scooter
Testing the Brake – To use the brake, squeeze the brake lever 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 brake on page 4.
WARNING:
Failure to properly tighten
the collar bolts 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.
Note: The cable and wire
assembly from the handlebar
must be routed as shown in
step 1, not wrapped around
the steering tube or handlebar.
Sharp bends or twisting of the
brake cable can cause the
brake to malfunction.
