INTRODUCTION: RAZOR ECOSMART METRO ELECTRIC SCOOTER
THE RAZOR ECOSMART METRO IS FOR USERS AGES 16+ AND SHOULD ONLY BE RIDDEN CAREFULLY AND RESPONSIBLY BY APPROPRIATELY MATURE AND RESPONSIBLE RIDERS EXERCISING CAUTION
AND RESPECTING APPLICABLE LAWS.
The Razor EcoSmart Metro scooter has been part of Razor’s fif teen years of experience as a leader in motorized scooter technology. Our original EcoSmart is now refreshed with many improvements, but this edition retains Razor’s original chain-driven, lead-acid bat tery powered configuration.
This product is not a toy for young riders! Razor emphasizes, therefore, the importance of riders to understand the risks associated with using literally any wheeled product around vehicle or pedestrian traffic and the specific risks of riding an electric scooter. Bluntly put, you could get hurt and your actions could cause injury to others. You must be cautious, aler t and take reasonable precautions to minimize such risks of falls, impacts or other problems.
The user must be, and is, responsible for determining whether local laws permit use of the EcoSmart Metro in varying circumstances (there is no “uniform Federal law” in existence to establish universal riding conditions). The rider must be, and is, responsible for acting maturely, carefully, and with respect for local rules of the road when riding, and the rider must be, and is, responsible for assessing and minimizing effects of potentially adverse riding conditions including darkness or impaired visibilit y, fog, rain, snow, hail, ice or electrical storms, which increase dangers inherent in operating any scooter. The rider must be, and is, responsible for adjusting riding behavior and braking distance to suit the weather and traffic conditions, and also to recognize that riding in low visibility conditions decreases your ability to see and be seen, especially on public streets and around vehicles or pedestrians. Riders also are encouraged to seek to enhance their visibility/conspicuity through use of higher visibility garments, lights (not included) or other reflective materials when riding in reduced visibility circumstances. Razor absolutely recommends that any rider wear a proper helmet to minimize potential head injuries.
Use of the EcoSmart Metro scooter is recommended for mature riders – using age 16+ as a guide. Riders of the EcoSmart Metro certainly must respect and adhere to all locally applicable laws and rules applicable to the use of such products. And if you’re going to ride near cars, be legal and be safe!
SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING: Riding an EcoSmart Metro does present potential risks
and caution is required. Certain conditions may cause the equipment to fail without fault of the manufacturer. Like any riding product, an EcoSmart Metro has inherent hazards associated with its use (for example, falling off or riding it into a hazardous situation). Like any riding product, EcoSmart Metro can and is intended to move and it is therefore, of course, possible to lose control or otherwise get into dangerous situations. Riders must recognize that if such things occur, a rider 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 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 teen’s scooter to insure their safety.
This manual contains many warnings and cautions concerning the consequences of failing to maintain, inspect or properly use your EcoSmar t Metro electric 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.
WARNING: Always check and obey any local laws or regulations which may affect the locations where the EcoSmart Metro may be used. Keeping away from cars and motor vehicle
traf fic provides the highest protection against risk of traffic-related injuries, of course. For mature riders seeking to operate this product as legally permitted for commuting applications, the increased risks presented by traffic certainly emphasizes that the need for caution, personal responsibility and compliance with local laws is imperative and is the rider’s responsibility. Only use where allowed and with caution.
WARNING: PARENTAL AND ADULT RESPONSIBILITY AND
SUPERVISION IS NECESSARY TO ASSURE USE BY MATURE RIDERS:
Because products, like EcoSmart Metro, can and do present potential hazards plainly associated with their use, it is well recognized THE NEED FOR EXERCISE OF PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITY IN SELECTING RIDING PRODUCTS APPROPRIATE TO THE AGE OF A CHILD, OR PARENTAL SUPERVISION IN SITUATIONS IN WHICH CHILDREN OF VARIOUS AGES MAY HAVE ACCESS TO THE SAME RIDING PRODUCTS, IS IMPORTANT. Not every product is appropriate for every age or size of child, and different age recommendations are found within this category of product which are intended to reflect the nature of the hazards and the expected mental or physical ability, or both, of a child to cope with the hazards.
WARNING: NOT FOR RIDERS UNDER AGE 16 OR HEAVIER
THAN 220 LB (100 KG). DO NOT EXCEED THE WEIGHT LIMIT OF 220 lb
(100 kg) – including backpacks and other items that might be carried. Exceeding the weight limit could injure the rider and damage the EcoSmart Metro. Rider weight alone also does not necessarily mean a person’s size is appropriate to fit or maintain control of the EcoSmart Metro. Keep this product away from small children and remember that this product

SAFETY WARNINGS
is not a toy and is intended for use only by persons who are, at a minimum, completely comfortable and competent while operating the product.
Razor recommends that children under the age of 16 not be permitted to use this product. This recommendation is based not just on age or weight or height; it reflects consideration of expected maturity and skills as well as physical size. The recommended rider age of 16 years or older is only an estimate and can be affected by the rider’s size, weight, or skills – not every rider 16 years old or older will be suited to the product. Certainly, any rider unable to fit comfortably on the EcoSmart Metro should not attempt to ride it, but a parent’s decision to allow his or her teen to ride this product
should be based on the teen’s maturity, skill, and ability to follow rules. Razor emphasizes that adults are strongly advised not to disregard Razor’s recommendations or permit younger children to ride the EcoSmart Metro.
Keep this product away from small children and remember that it is not a toy and is intended for use only by persons who are, at a minimum, completely comfortable and competent while operating.
Persons with any mental or physical conditions that may make them susceptible to injury, impair their physical dexterity or mental capabilities to recognize, understand, and follow safety instructions and to be able to understand the hazards inherent in the use of any ride-on product, should not use or be permitted to use products inappropriate for their abilities. Persons with heart conditions, head, back or neck ailments (or prior surgeries to these areas of the body), or pregnant women, should be cautioned not to operate such products.
DO NOT EXCEED THE WEIGHT LIMIT OF 220 lb (100 kg). Rider weight does not necessarily mean a person’s size is appropriate to fit or maintain control of the EcoSmart Metro.
CHECK AND MAINTAIN PRODUCT CONDITIONS
Before use, check to confirm that covers and guards are in place and in serviceable condition. Check that the brake is functioning properly, that the tires are inflated properly and have sufficient tread remaining. The product should be maintained and repaired in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications, using only the manufacturer’s authorized replacement parts, and should not be modified from the manufacturer’s original design and configuration.
ACCEPTABLE RIDING PRACTICES AND CONDITIONS
Do not activate the throttle unless you are on the EcoSmart Metro and in a safe, outdoor environment suitable for riding. Once the throttle is activated the EcoSmart Metro will move forward.
The normal powered top speed of this product will be approximately
15.5 mph (25 km/h), which can be affected by conditions, such as rider weight, inclines and battery charge level. Avoid excessive speeds that can be associated with downhill rides.
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 handlebars at all times. Do not touch the brake or motor on your scooter when in use or immediately after riding, as these parts can become very hot.
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 EcoSmart Metro 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 your product in mud, ice, puddles or water. Watch out for potential obstacles that could catch your wheel or force you to swerve suddenly or lose control. Avoid sharp bumps, drainage grates, and sudden surface changes.
Do not attempt or do stunts or tricks. The EcoSmart Metro is not made to withstand abuse from misuse, such as jumping, curb grinding or any other
type of stunts. Racing, stunt riding, or other maneuvers also enhance risk of loss of control, or may cause uncontrolled rider actions or reactions.
Never carry passengers or allow more than one person at a time to ride the EcoSmart Metro electric scooter.
Riding at night or when visibility is limited increases risks of accident or injury. Should the EcoSmart Metro scooter be ridden in such conditions, use of lights (not included) and additional measures to increase rider visibility and scooter conspicuity are advised.
Never use near steps or swimming pools.
Do not allow hands, feet, hair, body parts, clothing, or similar articles to come in contact with moving parts or wheels while the motor is engaged.
Do not touch electric motor or brake when in use or immediately after riding.
Never use headphones or a cell phone to talk or text when riding.
Never ride your product while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Never hitch a ride with a vehicle.
The EcoSmart Metro electric scooter can operate more quietly than other motorized products may operate. Use care when in the vicinity of pedestrians or others who may have difficulty hearing your approach. Use handbell (not included) to sound warnings when appropriate.
Never risk damaging surfaces such as carpet or flooring by use of an EcoSmart Metro electric scooter indoors.
Refer to the section on safety reminders for additional warnings.
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, and long pants 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 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 product with damp cloth.
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.
