This document provides user manuals for two distinct Razor kick scooters: the Razor A5 Lux Kick Scooter and the Razor A Kick Scooter. Both manuals emphasize safety, proper usage, and maintenance to ensure a safe and enjoyable riding experience.
The Razor A5 Lux Kick Scooter is designed for riders aged 8 and up, supporting a maximum weight of 220 lbs. It features 8-inch urethane wheels, an anodized finish, and bold colors and graphics. The scooter is designed to be foldable, making it convenient for storage and transport. Key components include a T-bar, quick-release lever, extension tube, collar clamp, joint-release lever/pivoting mechanism, steering column adjusting screw, and a kickstand. Some models also feature LED light-up wheels.
Function Description (Razor A5 Lux):
The Razor A5 Lux Kick Scooter is a personal mobility device that allows riders to propel themselves by kicking off the ground. It is designed for recreational use on smooth, paved surfaces. The scooter's foldable design enhances portability, while its adjustable handlebar height accommodates different rider sizes. The large urethane wheels are intended to provide a smooth ride.
Usage Features (Razor A5 Lux):
- Unfolding and Folding: The scooter features a joint-release lever/pivoting mechanism for easy unfolding and folding. Riders place one foot on the deck plate, pull the joint release lever up, and raise the T-bar until it locks securely in the upright position. When folding, the process is reversed. It is crucial to keep fingers clear of the pivoting mechanism during these operations.
- Handlebar Adjustment: The T-bar height can be adjusted using a quick-release lever. Riders open the lever, slide the T-bar to the desired position, and then resecure the lever to lock it in place. The tension of the quick-release lever can be adjusted with an Allen bolt, but care must be taken not to overtighten it. The T-bar should slide freely when the lever is open and lock securely when closed.
- Handlebar Installation: The left and right handlebars are inserted into the T-bar by pressing spring-loaded buttons and pushing them into the T-bar until they are securely locked. It is essential to ensure both handlebars are properly engaged to prevent dislodging during a ride.
- Riding: To ride, place one foot on the baseboard and push forward with the other foot. Steer with both hands on the handlebars, leaning slightly into the direction of the turn for enhanced cornering.
- Stopping: For controlled stops, apply the brake by stepping on the rear brake. Razor recommends practicing braking at various speeds in an open, obstruction-free area.
- Safety Gear: Always wear safety equipment, including an approved helmet with a securely buckled chinstrap, knee pads, and elbow pads. Closed-toe shoes with tied shoelaces are mandatory. Never ride barefoot or in sandals.
- Riding Environment: The scooter is intended for use on solid, flat, clean, and dry paved surfaces, free from loose debris like rocks or gravel. Avoid sharp bumps, drainage grates, sudden surface changes, and wet, slick, or uneven surfaces, as these can impair traction and lead to accidents. Do not ride at night or when visibility is impaired. Avoid excessive speeds, especially on downhill rides.
- Supervision: Children and preteens should always ride with adult guidance. The decision to allow a child to ride should be based on their maturity, skill, and ability to follow rules.
- Weight Limit: Do not exceed the maximum weight limit of 220 lbs (100 kg) for the A5 Lux scooter.
Maintenance Features (Razor A5 Lux):
- Cleaning: Wipe the scooter with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid industrial cleaners, solvents, alcohol-based, or ammonia-based cleaners, as they can damage surfaces, plastic components, or decals.
- Pre-Ride Checklist: Before every ride, check and secure all fasteners, including the collar clamp, quick-release lever, and handlebar spring buttons. Ensure they are properly locked in place.
- Wheels and Bearings: Under normal conditions, wheels and bearings are maintenance-free. However, owners should periodically inspect them for wear and tear, proper tightness of the axle, and side-to-side play in bearings. Excessive play indicates wear and necessitates immediate replacement with genuine Razor wheels. Worn wheels/bearings are considered normal wear-and-tear and are not covered by the warranty. Using non-genuine parts may affect safety and void the warranty.
- Baseboard/Steering Column Adjustment: Use a 3 mm Allen wrench to adjust the set screw at the baseboard to eliminate free play between the baseboard and the steering column. Ensure the screw is snug but not overtightened. Verify that the joint lever does not bind and the folding movement is smooth after adjustment.
- Replacement Parts: Replace worn or broken parts immediately. Genuine Razor replacement parts are available through Razor retail partners and their website.
- Repair Centers: A list of authorized Razor repair centers can be found online at www.razor.com.
The Razor A Kick Scooter is designed for kids, featuring a lightweight, foldable aluminum frame and adjustable handlebars. This manual covers various A-type, S-type, T-type, and Cruiser scooters, with specific weight limits for each model: S Kick Scooter (110 lb/50 kg), T Kick Scooter (110 lb/50 kg), A Kick Scooter (143 lb/65 kg), A2 Kick Scooter (143 lb/65 kg), A3 Kick Scooter (143 lb/65 kg), A4 Kick Scooter (220 lb/100 kg), Cruiser Scooter (143 lb/65 kg), and Malibu Beach Scooter (174 lb/79 kg).
Function Description (Razor A Kick Scooter):
The Razor A Kick Scooter series provides a range of lightweight, foldable scooters for children. These scooters are designed for recreational use, offering a simple and effective way for kids to propel themselves. The adjustable handlebars allow the scooter to grow with the child, and the aluminum frame ensures durability while keeping the weight low for easy handling.
Usage Features (Razor A Kick Scooter):
- Unfolding and Folding (Select Models Only): Similar to the A5 Lux, the A Kick Scooter series features a joint-release lever for unfolding. Riders place a foot on the deck plate, push the lever down, and raise the T-bar until it locks upright. Safety warnings about keeping fingers clear of the pivoting mechanism are emphasized.
- Handlebar Attachment: For models requiring handlebar attachment, loosen the collar clamp and slide it upward. Insert the T-bar into the fork until it bottoms out on the headset locknut. Ensure the front wheel is straight and the handlebars are square to the wheel, with the Razor logo facing forward. Then, tighten the clamp securely, alternating bolts on A4 models. Do not attempt to thread the handlebar into the front fork thread.
- Handlebar Adjustment (Select Models Only): The handlebar height is adjusted by opening a quick-release lever, sliding the T-bar to the desired position, and resecuring the lever. The tension of the quick-release lever can be adjusted with an Allen bolt, ensuring it's not overtightened and the T-bar slides freely when open and locks securely when closed.
- Riding: Place one foot on the baseboard and push off with the other foot. Steer with both hands on the handlebars. Lean slightly into turns for better cornering.
- Stopping: Apply the rear brake by stepping on it for controlled stops. Practice braking at various speeds in an open area.
- Safety Gear: Always wear an approved safety helmet, elbow pads, and kneepads. Closed-toe shoes with tied laces are required. Never ride barefoot or in sandals.
- Riding Environment: Ride on smooth, paved surfaces free of loose debris. Avoid sharp bumps, drainage grates, sudden surface changes, and wet, muddy, icy, or gravelly conditions. Do not ride at night or when visibility is impaired. Avoid excessive speeds, especially downhill.
- Supervision: Children under age eight should ride with adult supervision. A parent's decision to allow a child to ride should be based on the child's maturity, skill, and ability to follow rules.
- Weight Limit: Adhere to the specific weight limit indicated for each scooter model (e.g., 110 lb for S/T Kick Scooters, 143 lb for A/A2/A3/Cruiser, 220 lb for A4, 174 lb for Malibu Beach).
Maintenance Features (Razor A Kick Scooter):
- Cleaning: Wipe with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid harsh industrial, alcohol-based, or ammonia-based cleaners.
- Pre-Ride Checklist: Before each ride, check for loose parts, ensuring the collar clamp, quick-release lever (if applicable), and handlebar spring buttons are securely locked. Listen for unusual rattles or sounds.
- Deck and Handlebars: Regularly inspect the deck for cracks or broken connections.
- Wheels and Bearings: Periodically inspect wheels for wear and tear, axle tightness, and bearing play. Replace worn wheels/bearings with genuine Razor parts immediately.
- Baseboard/Steering Column Adjusting Screw (A4 ONLY): For A4 models, use a 3 mm Allen wrench to adjust the set screw at the baseboard to eliminate free play between the baseboard and the steering column. Ensure the screw is snug but not overtightened, and the folding mechanism operates smoothly.
- Hand Grips and End Caps: Regularly check hand grips and end caps for wear or damage, as they aid in gripping and provide impact protection. Replace immediately if worn, torn, damaged, or missing.
