NOTE: This manual contains many “Warnings” and “Cautions”

concerning the consequences of failing to maintain or inspect your
Razor Electric Scream Machine. 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 warning is mentioned.

WARNING: Riding the Razor Electric Scream Machine can be

hazardous. Proper inspection and maintenance of the product is your
responsibility and can reduce the risk of injury.

WARNING: The Electric Scream Machine has been built to

Razor’s design specifications. All the original equipment supplied at the

2

time of sale were selected on the basis of their compatibility with the
frame, fork and all other parts. Certain after-market products may or
may not be compatible with your Razor Electric Scream Machine.
Consult your retailer or call Razor prior to modifying or replacing any
component with a non-factory specified product.

TOOLS REQUIRED FOR ASSEMBLY ONLY

4, 5 and 6 mm hex (Allen) keys

17mm open end wrench

2. Proper Fit and Size Adjustments

2. Fit. When properly adjusted, the rider should be able to pedal

comfortably and steer with both feet remaining on the pedals at all
times. If the rider has to stretch to reach the pedals or is too cramped,
the seat should be adjusted fore or aft accordingly.

WARNING: The age recommendation is only an estimate. If you

are too small or too large to comfortably reach the pedals or
handlebars, do not ride the Electric Scream Machine.

WARNING: Failing to properly adjust and tighten the screws, bolts

and clamps that affix the handlebars, seat and rear wheels can cause
you to lose control and fall. When properly tightened, you cannot twist
the front wheel out of line with the handlebars or move the saddle out of
adjustment. If you can twist or force these components to move or
come off by hand, readjust and properly retighten the screws and bolts.

3. Brake

Your Razor Electric Scream Machine is fitted with a hand-operated
brake. The brake lever may be positioned on the handlebar where it is
most comfortable for the rider. To change the position, loosen the
clamping screw and slide the brake lever to the new position and
retighten securely.

Figure 1. Brake lever adjustment.

WARNING: The brake, when properly adjusted, 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.

4

WARNING: Cable operated brakes are very effective but must be

adjusted and maintained on a regular basis. Check or have them
checked and adjusted by a qualified mechanic. Worn brake parts,
stretched or frayed inner wires or a kinked housing indicate brake
service or parts replacement may be necessary for proper function.

4. Safety

4A. Helmets. Although not every state or municipality requires the user

to wear a helmet, Razor strongly recommends you wear a properly
approved helmet, such as ANSI or SNELL, even if the law does not
mandate the use of a helmet.

Suitable helmets are available in a variety of styles. The most popular
for kids is the skateboard-style “stunt” helmet. There are many brands
available and they come in various sizes to fit any child or adult.

WARNING: Helmets must be properly fitted and the straps

adjusted properly to be effective. Ask your dealer to help you with the
selection, fit and adjustment of your helmet.

4B. Night riding and low-light conditions. Razor strongly
recommends against riding at night or when lighting or visibility
conditions are less than optimal (such as dawn and dusk).

WARNING: Lighting for night riding or low light conditions are not

required and are not standard equipment on the Electric Scream
Machine. We do not recommend riding at night or in low-light
conditions.

4C. Bare feet. Do not ride with bare feet. Wear enclosed shoes when
riding.

Keep feet on the pedals at all times while riding in the seated position.
Do not ride more than one person at a time.
swimming pools.

4D. Wet weather riding. Do not ride in wet conditions.

WARNING: Wet weather impairs traction, braking, control and

visibility. The risk of accident is increased dramatically in wet weather.

WARNING: Keep your fingers and other body parts away from the

crank, steering system, wheels, motor, belt and all other moving

5

Never use near steps or

components. Riders with longer hair may risk entanglement in the rear
wheels or drive system. Do not allow long hair to get near the wheels or
drive system.

5. Safety Check (before each ride)

5A. Loose parts. While straddling the Electric Scream Machine, lift the

front wheel off the ground two or three inches and let go so it can
bounce on the ground. Does everything sound tight? There should not
be any unusual rattles or sounds from loose parts or broken
components. If you are not sure, ask an experienced mechanic to
check.

5B. Brake. Check the brake for proper function. When you pull the lever
the brake should act against the rim and provide positive braking action.
The cable should have the proper slack so the brakes do not drag, yet
the lever should not touch the handlebars when pulled except under the
hardest braking action.

5C. Frame, fork and handlebars. Check for cracks or broken
connections. Although broken frames are unlikely and rare, it is possible
for an aggressive rider to bash into a curb or wall and wreck and bend
or break a frame, fork or handlebar. Get in the habit of inspecting yours
regularly.

5D. Bar ends. Your Razor is equipped with plugs in the end of the
handlebars designed to provide protection from exposed handlebar
ends, which can act like a cookie-cutter. If your bar plugs are worn out
or missing and the handlebar end is exposed, replace them or cover the
exposed end(s) with after-market bar-end protectors.

5F. Tire inflation. The front tire on the Electric Scream Machine
requires 35~45 psi inflation pressure. Periodically and regularly check
the tire pressure and reinflate as necessary. If you get a flat tire the
inner tube is available at any retailer that sells bicycle parts and
accessories. The correct size is embossed on the side of the tire (16 x

1.75).

NOTE: For safety reasons, the Electric Scream Machine must be

moving at least 3mph before the motor will start. Pedal or push to
3mph, then pull the trigger to start the motor!
