INTRODUCTION
A NEW TECHNOLOGY, WITH NEW
CONCEPTS FOR CONTROL AND SAFETY
This manual will help you understand, set up and safely use the Razor® Hovertrax™. It is important that you adhere to all
safety warnings and cautions that appear throughout and that you use good judgment when riding, so keep reading!
As is obvious the first time you see it, the Razor Hovertrax is different from things you may have ridden before. No
handlebars. No front or rear wheel. No brake. It is new and it moves, which means if you are interested in riding it you
should be interested in learning how to do that properly – and if you are interested in minimizing the risk of falling off or
being injured, you should be very interested in focusing on how to ride this new product as safely as possible. Helping you
do that is the goal of this Manual and other warnings. THIS PRODUCT IS NEW, IT IS DIFFERENT, BUT IT MOVES
AND YOU MUST UNDERSTAND AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN ORDER TO MAXIMIZE YOUR FUN AND
MINIMIZE RISKS OF INJURY PRESENTED BY RIDING THIS NEW MOVING PRODUCT.
MOVEMENT OF THE RAZOR HOVERTRAX IS CONTROLLED BY THE ANGLE OF THE FOOT PLATFORMS,
WHICH IS DETERMINED BY PRESSURE APPLIED BY THE RIDER’S FEET ON THE PLATFORMS.
Different? Well, yes, the Hovertrax is “different.” It is an electrically motorized, computerized, gyroscopically-balanceassisted, independently articulated, dual-platform two wheeled personal mobility system. If that sounds unlike any bicycle,
scooter, RipStik, roller skate or water ski you have ever used, you’re on the right track.
However, the Razor Hovertrax does not operate “magically” and it does not fly, float or disappear. It’s movements are
not controlled remotely, or by the rider’s brainwaves or earnest good wishes. And it has neither a steering wheel, nor
a brake, nor external stabilizers of any kind. Yet it can go, stop, turn and back up – and all of this is controlled solely by
the rider's feet moving at angles relative to the ground. THIS IS CRUCIAL TO RECOGNIZE AND TO REMEMBER AT
ALL TIMES. The angle of your feet – forward, level or rearward – on each foot platform is how Hovertrax
receives, processes and executes instructions from the rider. This will affect the operation of the Razor
Hovertrax far more than leaning or "shifting body weight" alone.
WARNING: Read this manual – including both "Safety Warnings" (pages 2-3) and "How to Operate" (pages 6-8)
and learn to ride safely!

SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING: Riding any electric product can be a hazardous activity.
Certain conditions may cause the equipment to fail without fault of the
manufacturer. Like other electric ride-on products, the Razor Hovertrax 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.
WARNING: Failure to read and understand "How to Operate"
section of this manual (pages 6-8) increases risk of injury due to falls or
other incidents.
WARNING: NOT FOR RIDERS UNDER AGE 13 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 Razor
Hovertrax. Rider weight alone also does not necessarily mean a person’s
size is appropriate to fit or maintain control of the Razor Hovertrax. 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.
Razor recommends that children under the age of 13 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 13 years or older is only
an estimate and can be affected by the rider’s size, weight, or skills – not
every rider 13 years old or older will be suited to the product. Certainly, any
rider unable to fit comfortably on the Razor Hovertrax should not attempt
to ride it, but 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. Razor emphasizes that adults are strongly advised not to
disregard Razor’s recommendations or permit younger children to ride
the Razor Hovertrax.
Because products, like the Razor Hovertrax, 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 RIDER, 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 rider, and recommendations are intended
to reflect the nature of the hazards and the expected mental or physical
ability, or both, of a rider to cope with the hazards.
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 a product’s use, 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 this product.
CHECK AND MAINTAIN RAZOR HOVERTRAX
WARNING: Always inspect the Razor Hovertrax prior to use.
Properly inspecting and maintaining your product can reduce the risk of injury.
Before use, check to confirm that any and all guards or covers are in place and
in serviceable condition. Check that the parts are functioning properly, that
the tires are not damaged or worn excessively. The Razor Hovertrax 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. Replace
worn or broken parts immediately.
Always check the battery charge before using the Razor Hovertrax. Do not
ride the Razor Hovertrax when its battery is low, as indicated by a solid red
indicator light or shaking of the wheels during operation. The Razor Hovertrax
may stop operating and cause you to fall.
WARNING: Check local laws and regulations to see where and
how you may use your Razor Hovertrax legally. Follow all applicable laws for
vehicles and pedestrians.
SAFETY GUIDELINES FOR CONTINUED USE:
An important message to all users
Periodically review this information and make sure that you understand all
warnings, cautions, instructions and safety topics. Do not let others ride the
Razor Hovertrax until they have read this manual. Any type of wheeled activity
can be hazardous. Wheels can, and are intended to move and it is therefore
possible to get into dangerous situations and/or lose control and/or fall off. In
such situations serious injury or death could occur.
Always be aware of the activity around you. Use the Razor Hovertrax in areas
free from fixed or moving hazards. Watch your surroundings for pedestrians,
animals and riders of other wheeled devices.
WARNING: Only use the Razor Hovertrax indoors or on completely
smooth surfaces. Avoid obstacles and slippery surfaces, which could result in
a loss of balance or traction and cause a fall. See the section on Terrain for
more guidelines.
WARNING: Do not lift the Razor Hovertrax off the ground when the
unit is turned on. Do not turn on the Razor Hovertrax in mid-air. This will cause
the wheels to spin freely which could result in injury to yourself or damage to
things around you.
Ride defensively. Watch out for potential obstacles that could catch your
wheel(s) 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.
Never carry passengers or allow more than one person at a time to ride the
electric product.
WARNING: Whenever you ride the Hovertrax you risk serious injury or death from collisions, falls or loss of control. To ride
safely, YOU MUST READ AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS IN THIS MANUAL.
NOTICE: This manual contains many warnings and cautions concerning the consequences of failing to maintain, inspect or properly use your Razor Hovertrax
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.
