Common Problems and Solutions for the Razor E100

The Razor E100 electric scooter is known for its durability and ease of use, but like any electronic device, it can encounter problems. Here are some troubleshooting tips:

The Scooter Won't Start

• Check the Battery: A common issue is a depleted or defective battery. Use a multimeter to check the voltage. If it's below 12 volts, consider recharging or replacing the battery.


• Inspect the Fuse: Locate the fuse near the battery compartment. If it’s blown, replace it with an identical one.

The Scooter is Moving Slowly

• Battery Issues: Ensure that the battery is fully charged. A battery past its lifespan may need replacing.


• Motor and Chain: Check for obstructions in the chain or wheel and ensure the motor is functioning properly.

The Scooter Stops Suddenly

• Brake Engagement: An overly tight brake can cause the scooter to stop. Adjust the brake tension if needed.


• Motor or Electrical Issues: If the scooter cuts off during use, it might indicate a malfunction within the motor or electrical system and might require professional servicing.
