SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING: Riding an electric motorbike can be a hazardous activity. Certain conditions may cause the equipment to fail without fault of the manufacturer. Like other electric vehicles, the Dirt Rocket 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 electric motorbike. 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 USA 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 age (12 years for the MX350, 14 for the MX500, and 16 for the MX650) is only an estimate, and can be affected by the rider’s size, weight or skills. Any rider unable to ﬁt comfortably on the Dirt Rocket 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 vehicle.

DO NOT EXCEED THE WEIGHT LIMIT OF 140 pounds for the MX350, 175 pounds for the MX500, and 220 pounds for the MX650. Rider weight does not necessarily mean a person’s size is appropriate to ﬁt or maintain control of the Dirt Rocket.

Do not touch the brakes or electric motor on your electric motorbike when in use as they 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 Dirt Rocket 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.

The Dirt Rocket is meant to be used only in controlled environments free of potential trafﬁc hazards and not on public streets or sidewalks. Do not ride your electric motorbike in any areas where pedestrian or vehicle trafﬁc is present.

Do not activate the speed control on the hand grip unless you are on the electric motorbike and in a safe, outdoor environment suitable for riding.

Safety Reminders ..............................................................................17

Warranty Information ........................................................................17

These bikes were manufactured for performance and durability but are not impervious to damage. Jumping or other aggressive riding can over-stress and damage any product, including the electric motorbike, and the rider assumes all risks associated with high-stress activity.

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.

Never carry passengers or allow more than one person at a time to ride the electric motorbike.

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 Dirt Rocket in wet or icy weather and never immerse the electric motorbike in water, as the electrical and drive components could be damaged by water or create other possibly unsafe conditions.

The Dirt Rocket is intended for use on ﬂat, level ground without loose debris such as rocks or gravel. Wet, slick, bumpy, uneven or rough surfaces may impair traction and contribute to possible accidents. Do not drive the electric motorbike 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 electric motorbike 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 electric motorbike 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 electric motorbike 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 Dirt Rocket 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 30 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

Charging the Battery

Your electric motorbike 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 depending on the level of depletion

port on the electric motorbike. The charger works with the power switch in either the on or off position.

2 Plug the charger plug into a

wall outlet.

WARNING: Always disconnect your electric motorbike 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 over-charge protection to prevent battery from being over-charged.

ASSEMBLY AND SET-UP

Inﬂating the Tires

Tires are inﬂated when shipped, but they invariably lose some pressure between the point of manufacturing and your purchase.

Using a bicycle-style tire pump equipped for a Schrader-type valve, inﬂate the front tire to the PSI indicated on the sidewall of the tire.

Testing the Brakes

To use the brake, squeeze the 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 brakes outlined below.

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

MX350

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 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.

WARNING:

The brake is capable of causing the electric motorbike to skid the tire 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.

1 To adjust the 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.

MX500 / MX650

To adjust the 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 for rear brake.

2 If the brake lever adjuster is

threaded outward and the brake still has too much slack, use the back brake adjuster at the rear brake for additional adjustment.

37-44 mm

If the brake has too much

slack, loosen the rear anchor bolt and pull the brake wire tighter. The distance of the brake wire between the end of the cable and the anchor bolt should be between 37mm and 44 mm.

If the brake rotor is

dragging on the brake pads, use your ﬁngers to twist the caliper adjuster in either direction until rotor is centered between pads.
