What is this Razor Scooter machine?

A Razor scooter is a type of small, lightweight, and portable scooter that is popular with children and teenagers. Razor scooters typically have a narrow deck with a handlebar at the front for steering, and are propelled by pushing off the ground with one foot. Razor scooters are designed for use on smooth, paved surfaces, and are not suitable for off-road use. They are known for their durability and affordability, and are a popular choice for children and teenagers who want a fun and easy way to get around.

It is a compact folding pro scooter that has been in existence since the year 2000. The product was developed initially by Micro Mobility Systems (MMS), and the manufacturers are JD Corporation. People of all walks love Razor scooters and use it worldwide.

Several other corporations are coming up with their brands, but the original idea was from MMS.

How To Fold a Razor Scooter?

You can do this in three easy steps. These are:

• Slide the grips on the outward direction.
• Push down the t-tube.
• Fold, pack it, and go.

The Procedure

• Release the locking levers

The levers keep the bike the way it stands before folding. It keeps the t-tube standing horizontally from the footgear. When you release these levers, the t-tube can then slide down for folding.

Place the razor scooter on an even surface before you begin the process. Step on it using one foot and apply pressure firmly as you put your hands to the handlebars. It is to prevent the scooter from moving when releasing the locking levers.

There is a specific way to fold the razor scooter, and that is the procedure that you should follow. It can be problematic if you do not do so.

Be careful not to get hurt by the moving parts. They may not appear to be harmful, but it is better to observe precautions.

• Push the release buttons

It is the next step. Do this once you have secured the scooter firmly. While at that, slide out the grips. Behind the handlebars are two small buttons.

Push one of them and pull the closest grip away. Do the same procedure for the remaining button. Again, pull the grip away from the rest of the scooter.

Some scooters can fold without removing the grips. However, you can do this by first removing the levers, but if it does not work, pull out the grips first.

• Open the clasp

It is a circular piece of metal that lies in the middle of the handlebars. Pull away the clasp from the scooter.

• Push the steering column

Apply some pressure to push it down. Do that for as much as the column can go. You can do this by releasing the clasp. Once you release it, it will allow you to push the column down.

You are now ready to fold the scooter. To begin, lower the handlebars. Hold the handlebars with one hand, and the other hand holds the steering column. Push the handlebars down gently but consistently. The steering column, will then, lower down, and join the main part of the razor. It will disappear in there. Close the clasp to keep the steering column in place.

You have now done the job, and you can store I for future use, or even travel with it. When you want to open it, follow the reverse procedure of folding it. It should be a direct reflection of the clamping process.
