INTRODUCTION: RAZOR ECOSMART CARGO ADULT ELECTRIC UTILITY SCOOTER
THE RAZOR ECOSMART CARGO IS FOR ADULT USERS AND SHOULD ONLY BE RIDDEN CAREFULLY AND
RESPONSIBLY BY APPROPRIATELY MATURE AND RESPONSIBLE RIDERS AND PASSENGERS EXERCISING
CAUTION AND RESPECTING APPLICABLE LAWS.
The Razor EcoSmart Metro scooter has been part of Razor’s fifteen years of experience as a leader in mo-
torized scooter technology. Our original EcoSmart is now refreshed with many improvements, but this edition
retains Razor’s original chain-driven configuration.
This product is not a toy for young riders! Razor emphasizes, therefore, the importance of riders to understand
the risks associated with using literally any wheeled product around vehicle or pedestrian traffic and the spe-
cific risks of riding an electric scooter. Bluntly put, you could get hurt and your actions could cause injury to
others. You must be cautious, alert and take reasonable precautions to minimize such risks of falls, impacts or
other problems.
The user must be, and is, responsible for determining whether local laws permit use of the EcoSmart Cargo
in varying circumstances (there is no “uniform Federal law” in existence to establish universal riding con-
ditions). The rider must be, and is, responsible for acting maturely, carefully, and with respect for local
rules of the road when riding, and the rider must be, and is, responsible for assessing and minimizing effects
of potentially adverse riding conditions including darkness or impaired visibility, fog, rain, snow, hail, ice
or electrical storms, which increase dangers inherent in operating any scooter. The rider must be, and is,
responsible for adjusting riding behavior and braking distance to suit the weather and traffic conditions,
and also to recognize that riding in low visibility conditions decreases your ability to see and be seen,
especially on public streets and around vehicles or pedestrians. The Razor EcoSmart Cargo head- and tail-
lights may reduce such risks, and riders also are encouraged to seek to enhance their visibility/conspicu-
ity through use of higher visibility garments, lights or other reflective materials when riding in reduced
visibility circumstances. Razor absolutely recommends that any rider wear a proper helmet to minimize
potential head injuries.
Use of the EcoSmart Cargo scooter is recommended for mature riders – using age 18+ (the generally rec-
ognized age of “legal consent”) as a guide. Riders of the EcoSmart Cargo certainly must respect and adhere
to all locally applicable laws and rules applicable to the use of such products. And if you’re going to ride
near cars, be legal and be safe!
WARNING:
Riding an EcoSmart Cargo does present potential risks
and caution is required. Certain conditions may cause the equipment to fail
without fault of the manufacturer. Like any riding product, an EcoSmart
Cargo has inherent hazards associated with its use (for example, falling off or
riding it into a hazardous situation). Like any riding product, EcoSmart Cargo
can and is intended to move and it is therefore, of course, possible to lose
control or otherwise get into dangerous situations. Riders must recognize
that if such things occur, a rider 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 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 recommends
that you periodically review and reinforce the information in this manual
with younger riders, and that you inspect and maintain your teen’s scooter to
ensure their safety.
This manual contains many warnings and cautions concerning the
consequences of failing to maintain, inspect or properly use your EcoSmart
Cargo electric scooter. 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.
WARNING: Always check and obey any local laws or
regulations which may affect the locations where the EcoSmart
Cargo may be used. Keeping away from cars and motor vehicle
traffic provides the highest protection against risk of traffic-related
injuries, of course. For mature riders seeking to operate this product
as legally permitted for commuting applications, the increased
risks presented by traffic certainly emphasizes that the need for
caution, personal responsibility and compliance with local laws is
imperative and is the rider’s responsibility. Only use where allowed
and with caution.
WARNING: PARENTAL AND ADULT RESPONSIBILITY AND
SUPERVISION IS NECESSARY TO ASSURE USE BY MATURE RIDERS:
Because products, like EcoSmart Cargo, 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 CHILD, 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 child, and different age recommendations
are found within this category of product which are intended to reflect the
nature of the hazards and the expected mental or physical ability, or both, of
a child to cope with the hazards.
WARNING: NOT FOR RIDERS OR PASSENGERS UNDER AGE
18 OR HEAVIER THAN 300 LB TOTAL WEIGHT (136 KG).
DO NOT
EXCEED THE MAXIMUM RIDER PLUS PASSENGER/CARGO WEIGHT LIMIT
OF 300 lb (136 kg). Exceeding the weight limit could injure the rider and/or
adult passenger and damage the EcoSmart Cargo. Rider or adult passenger
