NOTE: This manual contains many “Warnings” and “Cautions” concerning the consequences of failing to maintain, inspect or properly use your Pocket Rocket. 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. AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO RIDERS AND PARENTS: READ THIS ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING OR ALLOWING USE OF THE POCKET ROCKET, AND KEEP THIS MANUAL AVAILABLE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.This manual contains important safety information. For safety, 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 capable and able to safely and responsibly use this product. Razor USA recommends that you periodically review and reinforce the information in this manual with younger riders, and you are required to inspect and maintain your child’s vehicle to insure their safety. The recommended rider age is only an estimate, and can always be effected based upon a particular rider’s size, weight or skills. If the rider is unable to fit comfortably on the Pocket Rocket, don’t attempt to ride it. Keep this product away from small children and always understand that this product is intended for use only by persons who are, at a minimum, completely comfortable and competent riding a bicycle without training wheels. GENERAL WARNING: Riding the Pocket Rocket can be a hazardous activity. Electric vehicles can, and are intended to, move and it is therefore possible to get into dangerous situations and/or lose control and/or fall off. If such things occur you can be seriously injured or die. LIKE ANY OTHER MOVING PRODUCT,USING THE POCKET ROCKET CAN BE A DANGEROUS ACTIVITY AND MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH EVEN WHEN USED WITH SAFETY EQUIPMENT AND OTHER PRECAUTIONS. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK AND USE COMMON SENSE. • Always check and obey any local laws or regulations which may affect the locations where the Pocket Rocket may be used on public property. The Pocket Rocket is meant to be used only in controlled environments free of potential traffic hazards, and not on public streets or sidewalks. Do not try to ride your Pocket Rocket on public streets or in any areas where pedestrian or vehicle traffic may present a risk of collision or injury to yourself or others. Watch out for potential obstacles including pedestrians, skaters, skateboards, bikes, children or animals who may enter your path, and respect the rights and property of others. • Do not ride the Pocket Rocket in wet weather and never immerse the Pocket Rocket in water, as the electrical and drive components of the Pocket Rocket could be damaged by water or create other possibly unsafe conditions. • The Pocket Rocket is designed to perform best outdoors on solid flat, clean and dry surfaces. Wet, slick or uneven and rough surfaces may impair traction and contribute to possible accidents. Use only on flat, dry, level ground without loose debris, such as rocks or gravel. Do not ride a Pocket Rocket in mud, ice, puddles or water. Avoid excessive speeds that can be associated with downhill rides. Never risk damaging indoor surfaces such as carpet or flooring by use of a Pocket Rocket indoors.
• Do not ride at night or in impaired visibility conditions. • Always wear proper protective equipment, such as an approved safety helmet, elbow pads and kneepads. A helmet may be legally required by local law or regulation in your area, and should always be worn when riding a Pocket Rocket. Always wear shoes, never ride barefooted or in sandals, and keep shoelaces tied and out of the way of the wheels, motor and drive system. • The electric motor in your Pocket Rocket can become hot when in use. Do not touch the motor and handle the Pocket Rocket carefully. • Do not exceed the weight limit of 220 pounds (see warning on back page). • Do not attempt or do stunts or tricks on your Pocket Rocket. The Pocket Rocket is not made to withstand abuse from misuse such as jumping, grinding or any other type of stunts.

WARNING: REGARDING USE OF NON-RAZOR PRODUCTS WITH YOUR RAZOR POCKET ROCKET. The Pocket Rocket has been built to certain Razor design specifications. The original equipment supplied at the 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. Consult your retailer or call Razor prior to modifying or replacing any component with a non-factory specified product. WARNING: CHECK LOCAL LAWS REGARDING USE. Check local laws and regulations to see where and how you may use your Razor Pocket Rocket legally. In many states and local areas, riders are required BY LAW to wear a helmet. Check local laws and regulations regarding laws governing helmet use, age and vehicle operation in your area. TOOLS REQUIRED FOR ASSEMBLY • Bicycle-style tire pump for Schrader adult with experience in bicycle valve tires, with pressure gauge. mechanics. Some tools may be • 5mm and 6mm hex key wrenches. supplied, however we recommend the • Inflation valve extender/adapter use of mechanic’s grade tools. Use (supplied). the supplied tools only as a last resort. • Razor recommends assembly by an WARNING: Failing to properly adjust and tighten the clamps and retainers that affix the handlebars can cause you to lose control and fall. When properly adjusted, you cannot twist the front wheel out of line or move the handlebars out of adjustment. If you can twist or force these components to move by hand, readjust and properly retighten the clamp mechanisms.
2. Preparing for First-Time Use 2A. Un-box. Remove contents from box. Remove the foam separators that protect the various components from damage during shipping. Inspect the contents of the box for scratches in the paint, dents or kinked cables that may have occurred during shipping. The Pocket Rocket was 99% assembled and packed at the factory to prevent shipping damage and there should not be any problems, even if the box has a few scars or dents. But if there are, contact Razor USA, toll free, at (866) 467-2967 to resolve any problems. 2B. Handlebars. Swing the handlebars outward as shown. You may have to loosen the clamps to allow the bar to pivot on the fork.

Figures 2a and 2b. Positioning the handlebars.
Tighten securely. Using a 5mm hex key wrench, tighten both the left and right side handlebar clamps by turning the screws clockwise as shown in Figure 3. Tighten securely. When properly tightened, the handlebars cannot be twisted out of alignment.
Figure 3. Tighten the handlebar using a 5mm hex key wrench.
WARNING: Failure to properly tighten both sides may cause the handlebars to dislodge while riding and may cause you to lose control and fall. When correctly tightened, the handlebars will not rotate out of alignment under normal circumstances. 2C. Attach the fairing. Using the two button head screws with the shock-absorbing rubber washers, attach the fairing to the mounting points as shown in figure 4a and tighten. If the screws do not line up, loosen the mounting screw on the bottom of the fairing as shown in figure 4b to help slide it into position. Tighten all screws. 5

NOTE: Although we make every effort to keep our manual up-todate, if your Pocket Rocket does not look exactly this, then we’ve made improvements since this document was printed. Check out the Razor website: www.razor.com for technical updates on the latest service and adjustment procedures. 2D. Inflating the tires. The tires are inflated when shipped, but they invariably will lose some pressure between the point of manufacturing and your purchase. Using a bicycle style tire pump equipped for a Schrader-type valve, inflate the front tire to the psi indicated on the sidewall of the tire.
Figure 5a.
Figure 5b.
NOTE regarding the rear wheel: Inflating the rear tire requires the use of a special valve extender/adapter, supplied with the Pocket 6
Rocket at time of purchase. This item is concealed in the grip on the speed control side of the handlebar (figures 5a and 5b). To inflate the rear tire align the access hole in the drive sprocket with the tire valve as shown in figure 6. Thread the adapter completely onto the valve and attach the pump and inflate to the psi indicated on the tire sidewall. NOTE: The valve adapter must be removed immediately after inflating. Failure to remove the adapter will cause the inner tube and or adapter to be severed by the rear drive sprocket. Place the adapter back into the handelbar grip for later use. If you lose the adapter, a “valve stem extender” can be purchased at almost any auto parts store.
Figure 6.
Note regarding using an air hose at a gas station. The pressurized air supplies found at gasoline stations are designed to inflate high volume automobile tires. These systems are capable of instantaneously over-inflating the tires. If you decide to use such a supply to inflate your ties, make sure the pressure gauge is working prior to inflating the tires. Use very short bursts to inflate to the correct psi. If you inadvertently over-inflate the tire, release the excess pressure immediately. 2E. The brake. The Pocket Rocket is fitted with a hand-operated brake. To use the brake, squeeze the lever to increase the pressure on the brake until so you come to a smooth and controlled stop. The brake lever is fitted with a cable adjuster to compensate for cable stretch and/or to fine tune the lever movement to brake engagement. To adjust 7
the play, thread the adjuster in or out (arrows, Figure 7) 1/4 to 1/2 turn until the desired brake adjustment is attained. If the adjuster at the lever is threaded outward and the brake still has too much slack, use the auxiliary adjuster at the rear brake for additional adjustment.
Figure 7.
WARNING: The brake 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. Avoid skidding to a stop as this can cause you to lose control as well as cause damage the rear tire. 2F. Charging the battery prior to use. Your Pocket Rocket may not have a fully charged battery at the time of purchase. Therefore it is a good idea to charge the battery prior to use. The charging input, on/off switch and overload breaker are located under the deck at the front left hand side as shown in Figure 8.
Figure 8.
The charger has a small window with one LED or two LEDs to indicate the charge status (Figure 9). Refer to the illustration on the charger unit 8
for the actual “charging” and “charged” status indications for your model charger. The initial charge may take from a few minutes to up to 4 hours depending on the level of depletion. If your charger does not look like the one in figure 9, your unit has been supplied with an alternative charger. The specifications and charging procedure would not change, however.
Figure 9.
2G. Circuit breaker. The circuit breaker (next to on/off switch in figure 10) will automatically shut off the power to the motor in the event an overload condition is placed on the motor. An excessive overload, such as too heavy a rider or too steep a hill, could cause the motor to overheat. If the Pocket Rocket suddenly stops running, wait a few seconds and then push the breaker to reset the circuit. Avoid whatever conditions caused the breaker to trip and avoid repeatedly tripping the breaker.
Figure 10.
3. Safety Check Before Riding 3A. Loose parts. While straddling the Pocket Rocket, lift the front up one or two inches and let go so it can bounce on the ground. Does everything sound tight? There should not be any unusual rattles or 9
sounds from loose parts or broken components. If you are not sure, ask an experienced mechanic to check. 3B. Brake. Check the brake for proper function. When you squeeze the lever, the brake should provide positive braking action. 3C. Frame, fork and handlebars. Check for cracks or broken connections. Although broken frames are 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. 3D. Tire inflation. Periodically and regularly check the tire pressure and reinflate as necessary. If you get a flat tire, the inner tube can be patched or a new tube can be purchased from Razor. CAUTION: This product moves when used. Exercise caution and common sense when riding.
4. Maintenance and Repairs NOTE: Tires are subject to normal wear and tear. It is the responsibility of the user to periodically inspect the tires for excess wear. Check out the Razor website: www.razor.com for updates on the latest maintenance, repair and trouble-shooting procedures. ADJUSTING THE CHAIN NOTE: Turn power switch off before maintenance procedures. If the rear wheel makes loud noises or grinding sounds during the power-on condition, this indicates the chain is probably making the noise. This can be caused by the chain being adjusted too tight during assembly or if the chain becomes dry from lack of lubrication or loose from normal wear-and-tear. If the chain is too tight, or too loose (keeps coming off), then it needs to be readjusted. If the chain is dry, apply a lubricant such as WD-40 to the chain. To adjust the chain: 1. Loosen the axle as shown in figure 11a. 2. Loosen the brake anchor as shown in figure 11b. This is attached 10
with the small bolt in the long slot on the left side of the rear fork. 3. Tightening the adjusters clockwise tightens the chain, loosening the adjusters counter-clockwise will relax the chain tension. When loosening the adjusters, you will have to nudge the axle forward by tapping the wheel with your hand to relax the tension on the chain. Turn both adjusters the exact same amount, 1/8 to 1/4 turn at a time, to maintain the wheel alignment. Note: This system of adjusters is common to motorcycles and BMX bicycles. If your are not familiar with it or do not feel comfortable performing the adjustment, consult a qualified BMX bike or motorcycle mechanic. Chain tension: The chain should be “just not-quite snug” in other words, not taut or sloppy loose. BE CAREFUL NOT TO ADJUST TOO TIGHT. The tensioning system can easily impart too much tension and snap the chain or bend the motor output shaft. Turn the adjusters 1/8 to 1/4 turn at a time and recheck the tension each time. Rotate the chain to verify the tension at various places (see note below). NOTE: The chain will typically have a “loose-spot” and a “tight spot” corresponding with a particular rotational position of the sprockets. This is normal and common to all chain-driven vehicles due to run-out tolerances freewheel and sprocket. The chain should be adjusted to the ideal tension with chain in the tightest spot. NOTE: Proper chain alignment must be maintained.The wheel must not be skewed. If the chain is noisy, or rough running, check the lubrication, tension, and alignment of the sprockets, in that order. 4. Once the tension is good, tighten the axle and brake anchor bolt. Test run the Pocket Rocket. Re-adjust as needed.

Occasionally the rear wheel may need to be removed to replace a worn tire, chain or fix a punctured inner tube. Tools required: (2) 17mm open end or socket wrenches, (2) 8mm box wrenches, a 10mm box wrench. 1. Loosen and disconnect the brake cable anchor (figure 12). 2. Loosen and disconnect the brake housing anchor (figure 13). 3. Loosen the rear axle by loosening the axle nuts counter-clockwise (figure 14). 4. Loosen the chain adjusters about 3-4 turns. Be sure to loosen both adjusters and equal number of turns (figure 15). 5. Slide the wheel forward to slacken the chain and disengage the chain from the motor sprocket (your hands will get greasy doing this). 6. The wheel may now be removed from the frame. Reverse procedure to reinstall. Make notes of the part order, or refer to the parts breakdown on page 16, for the correct component order for reassembly.

5. Safety WARNING:Maintain a hold on the handlebars at all times. WARNING: not ride more than one person at a time. Never use near steps or swimming pools. WARNING: Keep your fingers and other body parts away from the drive chain, steering system, wheels and all other moving components. WARNING TO PARENTS: Kids need to be taught and be frequently reinforced of the importance of safe riding, the rules of the road and the importance of avoiding using the Pocket Rocket on streets due to dangers and hazards of traffic, especially motor vehicle traffic. Parents and children are urged to read and understand these safety tips together. Ride defensively. Assume that pedestrians and others are so absorbed in their own world that they are not paying any attention to you and that they will run you down or step out in front of you, all without any warning. Watch for obstacles such as pot holes, sewer grates, expansion cracks, and road or construction debris (such as nails or other foreign objects) that could catch your wheel or force you to swerve into traffic or lose control. Never ride with headphones or use a cell phone when riding. Never carry a passenger. Never hitch a ride with another vehicle. Riding a Pocket Rocket may be a hazardous activity and has inherent dangers that no amount of care, caution, instruction or expertise can eliminate. Certain conditions may cause the equipment to fail without fault of the manufacturer. Activities involving the use of electric vehicles carry the risk of injury or death.
