    Perfect video. Bought on used for 15$. Previous owner said it wasnt working. I followed the video, tested all the leads. Everything was fine. Like said, all my kid had to do was push it a bit hard and it worked. Lol. Excellent video. Thank you

    Very nice review of component testing. Of course my batteries were bad after years of aging, but my biggest problem was that I didn't know about the kick off needed by the scooter to get the motor started. I feel dumb and happy at the same time. You have made my nephews very happy. Thanks again.

    • @erikswenson2659
      @erikswenson2659 Год назад +1

      i agree the last part of this video is the most valuable and should come first for anyone who knows basic troubleshooting. I had even tried starting the scooter by rolling it (albeit slowly) while applying the throttle. I was about to take everything apart and start all over again when I viewed this video (without thinking it was much help) and saw it through to the end. I then went out and tried again trotting along side the thing (it has a 120 lb weight limit that suggests it would be unwise for me to actually ride it), and the thing took off. Problem solved -- user error! Thanks for this video.

    • @Jodyfaye17

I didn't know you had to give it a push to get kicked over. Wow, can't wait to give that a try, my son and daughter have been dying to give this thing a try.

    • @hartfordboothe7466
      @hartfordboothe7466 3 года назад

      I had replaced the batteries (fully charging them separately before soldering the connections to them) and replaced the control unit (it hadn't worked before, with the old batteries, even with them showing to be fully charged) and it still wouldn't work. The instruction manual I found online (this was a second-hand freebie for my son, so no instructions with it) said that only the E100 needed to be up to 3 MPH before engaging. Maybe it's just the aftermarket controller, but this unit (E150) has to be rolling pretty fast (probably 3 MPH) before the motor will engage.

    • @nanettebarling1222
      @nanettebarling1222 3 года назад

      It's either kick it or change the throttle. Changing the throttle helped a lot. Then it works like a twist grip should, start slow and build up speed instead of it just being a toggle switch ON and OFF (I think it's best for kids) plus less strain on all the other parts of the scooter. Then you can put a key switch on it so it's harder to rip off.

In U K we can’t use them on the road or side walk (pavement) but family has a field, thanks again.

  • @harryhoople1684
    @harryhoople1684 7 месяцев назад

    The most frequent cause of Razor scooter failure is the batteries. If the batteries cannot be charged above 23V the controller will not function and the motor will not engage. Many owners think the batteries are OK if the switch lights up. No so! Measure them with a voltmeter. If the reading after charging is below 23V replace them. The 23V limit is there to prevent the batteries from deep discharging and irreversible damage.

    Awesome video! is there a way of manually checking if the controller is the problem?
    Also, i've found that the middle pin of the charger isn't working (the on/off switch doesn't work). is there a way to fix this?

    You are great!!! I'm just learning everything on my razor echosmart metro and Im having problems...the scooter used to go 12 miles now only 2 miles then low light comes on and scooter crawls home, at that point I test the 3 batteries they show 12.7 to 13v in series 38 volts....I charge it again and I get 2 miles then it goes dead. I have changed the batteries and charger twice, then recently I changed out the control module its only 6 months old and Im clueless. Im going to watch this video and see im missing something thanks

    Thanks for the great vid! I have a question. My throttle, brake switch, and batteries all check out. Controller clicks with throttle activation, but the motor won't start with a kick. When the throttle is switched on, there is no voltage going to the motor. Is the controller at fault? Hot wiring the batteries to the motor DOES operate the motor.

    Great video ! Just wish you told us in the beginning it needs a push to start. Took everything apart to figure out it’s all fine 😂
