Razor® Scooter Rules!

We want you to have a good time on your Razor® product, but we also want you to ride smart and stay safe. A good rule of thumb is to use the same precautions with your Razor® product that you would when ride a bike, a skateboard or when using in-line skates. Please take these safety tips seriously to avoid losing control, falling or sustaining a potentially serious injury. Scootering offers a fun mode of transportation when used properly! So always remember Razor® Rules!

Who Should Ride

Children under 8 should ride with adult supervision at all times. The Razor® product should not be ridden by anyone under the recommended age limited. A good rule of thumb is not to let a child ride a scooter without supervision unless he/she has been riding a two-wheeled bike well for 6 months or longer.

Getting Geared Up

Always wear an Australian standards (AS/NZS 2063: 2008) approved helmet and elbow and kneepads. Wrist guards are also recommended to be worn when riding the Ripstik and Sole Skate.Wear athletic shoes (lace-up shoes with rubber soles). Don’t ride barefoot or in sandals. Keep shoelaces out of the way of wheels.

Ready Your Razor

Make sure your scooter is road ready before you scoot. Always make sure the handlebars are secured. Adjust the steering tube to the right height and tighten. Tighten all bolts and make sure the steel tube, steel tube extension, and handlebars are locked in place before riding.

Start Slow

Gradually get the feel of your new Razor® scooter. Hold onto the handlebars at all times. Learn how tight a turn you can comfortably make. Get used to stopping, either by lowering one foot to the ground or by applying pressure to the cover over the rear wheel. Practice applying the brake at various speeds in an open area before riding with others.

Watch the Terrain

As with in-line skates, avoid water, speed bumps, sand, gravel and anything that could cause your front wheel to stop. Even a modest bump in the sidewalk can stop the front wheel. Better to ride around bumps than to take a spill.

”Extreme” Caution

With practice, you’ll get increasingly comfortable on your Razor®. You will see people on TV and maybe even people you know doing tricks and stunts. These are people that have been practicing scooters for a very long time. Don’t try something until you are ready. Avoid steep inclines and don’t ride too fast – you can lose control and fall. Skateboard parks are not designed for scooters. Never ride in traffic and watch your surroundings for pedestrians, bikers, boarders and skaters.

Caution: Assembly Warning

Read the owner’s manual inside the box before use. Keep your fingers and toes clear of the hinge when folding and unfolding your Razor® scooter. Ride Smooth. Periodically check that all screws are tightened. Check wheels for wear and tear and replace as needed. Keep your scooter clean by wiping with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust.

Check local laws and regulations to see where and how you may use your Razor Scooter.
