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

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 [phone] 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.
• Bicycle-style tire pump for Schrader
valve tires, with pressure gauge.
• 5mm and 6mm hex key wrenches.
• Inflation valve extender/adapter
(supplied).
• Razor recommends assembly by an
adult with experience in bicycle
mechanics. Some tools may be
supplied, however we recommend the
use of mechanic’s grade tools. Use
the supplied tools only as a last resort.
TOOLS REQUIRED FOR ASSEMBLY
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.

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.

Figure 4a. Figure 4b.
NOTE: Although we make every effort to keep our manual up-to-
date, 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

7
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

8
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

9
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

10
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

11
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.
Fig 11a. Loosen rear axle by turning nuts counter-clockwise.

12
Tighten when completed in direction shown.
Fig 11b. Loosen the brake anchor screw.
Fig 11c and 11d. Tighten both axle adjusters equally, 1/8 to 1/4 turn until the chain is
properly tensioned.

14
Fig. 14. Loosen axle by turning nuts counter- clockwise.
Tighten as shown by arrows.
Fig. 15. Loosen adjusters.
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.
