is not a toy and is intended for use only by persons who are, at a minimum,
completely comfortable and competent while operating the product.
Razor recommends that children under the age of 16 not be permitted to
use this product. This recommendation is based not just on age or weight
or height; it reflects consideration of expected maturity and skills as well
as physical size. The recommended rider age of 16 years or older is only an
estimate and can be affected by the rider’s size, weight, or skills – not every
rider 16 years old or older will be suited to the product. Certainly, any rider
unable to fit comfortably on the EcoSmart Metro should not attempt to ride
it, but
a parent’s decision to allow his or her teen to ride this product
should be based on the teen’s maturity, skill, and ability to follow
rules. Razor emphasizes that adults are strongly advised not to
disregard Razor’s recommendations or permit younger children to
ride the EcoSmart Metro.
Keep this product away from small children and remember that it
is not a toy and is intended for use only by persons who are, at a
minimum, completely comfortable and competent while operating.
Persons with any mental or physical conditions that may make them
susceptible to injury, impair their physical dexterity or mental capabilities
to recognize, understand, and follow safety instructions and to be able to
understand the hazards inherent in the use of any ride-on product, should not
use or be permitted to use products inappropriate for their abilities. Persons
with heart conditions, head, back or neck ailments (or prior surgeries to these
areas of the body), or pregnant women, should be cautioned not to operate
such products.
DO NOT EXCEED THE WEIGHT LIMIT OF 220 lb (100 kg). Rider weight
does not necessarily mean a person’s size is appropriate to fit or
maintain control of the EcoSmart Metro.
CHECK AND MAINTAIN PRODUCT CONDITIONS
Before use, check to confirm that covers and guards are in place and in
serviceable condition. Check that the brake is functioning properly, that
the tires are inflated properly and have sufficient tread remaining. The
product should be maintained and repaired in accordance with the
manufacturer’s specifications, using only the manufacturer’s authorized
replacement parts, and should not be modified from the manufacturer’s
original design and configuration.
ACCEPTABLE RIDING PRACTICES AND CONDITIONS
Do not activate the throttle unless you are on the EcoSmart Metro and in a
safe, outdoor environment suitable for riding.
Once the throttle is activated the EcoSmart Metro will move forward.
The normal powered top speed of this product will be approximately
15.5 mph (25 km/h), which can be affected by conditions, such as rider
weight, inclines and battery charge level. Avoid excessive speeds that can be
associated with downhill rides.
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. Do not touch the brake or
motor on your scooter when in use or immediately after riding, as these parts
can become very hot.
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 EcoSmart Metro is intended for use on flat, dry surfaces, such as
pavement or level ground, without loose debris, such as sand, leaves, rocks
or gravel. Wet, slick, bumpy, uneven or rough surfaces may impair traction
and contribute to possible accidents. Do not ride your product in mud, ice,
puddles or water. Watch out for potential obstacles that could catch your
wheel or force you to swerve suddenly or lose control. Avoid sharp bumps,
drainage grates, and sudden surface changes.
Do not attempt or do stunts or tricks. The EcoSmart Metro is not made to
withstand abuse from misuse, such as jumping, curb grinding or any other
type of stunts. Racing, stunt riding, or other maneuvers also enhance risk of
loss of control, or may cause uncontrolled rider actions or reactions.
Never carry passengers or allow more than one person at a time to ride the
EcoSmart Metro electric scooter.
Riding at night or when visibility is limited increases risks of accident or
injury. Should the EcoSmart Metro scooter be ridden in such conditions, use
of lights (not included) and additional measures to increase rider visibility and
scooter conspicuity are advised.
Never use near steps or swimming pools.
Do not allow hands, feet, hair, body parts, clothing, or similar articles to come
in contact with moving parts or wheels while the motor is engaged.
Do not touch electric motor or brake when in use or immediately after riding.
Never use headphones or a cell phone to talk or text when riding.
Never ride your product while under the influence of drugs
or alcohol.
Never hitch a ride with a vehicle.
The EcoSmart Metro electric scooter can operate more quietly than other
motorized products may operate. Use care when in the vicinity of pedestrians
or others who may have difficulty hearing your approach. Use handbell (not
included) to sound warnings when appropriate.
Never risk damaging surfaces such as carpet or flooring by use of an
EcoSmart Metro electric scooter indoors.
Refer to the section on safety reminders for additional warnings.
PROPER RIDING ATTIRE

helmet (with chin strap securely buckled), elbow pads, and kneepads. A
helmet may be legally required by local law or regulation in your area.

athletic shoes (lace up shoes with rubber soles), never ride barefooted or in
sandals, and keep shoelaces tied and out of the way of the wheels, motor
and drive system.
