How To Fix Razor Electric Scooter

Today I would like to share my little Do-It-YourSelf project that I had to do on a broken electric razor scooter that I got from my friends. The problem was that the batteries did charge, the motor worked, the on/off button light came on, but when you push the gas switch it wouldn’t move. Here is a couple of the solutions. Go and spend $30.00 online to buy the part and then wait for it to come and then replace it and then it may brake again. Or follow my instructions on how to make the scooter work without that annoying part. If you are going to follow my instructions and something still doesn’t work, or you mess something up, or you hurt yourself, or whatever happens that you didn’t expect, then it is your problem and your fault and I am not responsible for anything that may go wrong. If you don’t have common sense, then please leave this tutorial alone and please leave my website alone too, I don’t want you to hurt yourself looking at my website. Ok, lets get started. First of all, the only thing that part does is turns off the gas switch when you press on brakes, sounds useless to me.

The part number for that part is 229337. Well, lets get started. Unscrew the six little bolts that hold the aluminum plate that you stand on when riding the scooter. Now remember the way the soft padding is on those batteries. Carefully pull out the wires and loosen them a little. Unscrew that little black box with a bunch of wires sticking out of it. Cut off all of those wires as close to the little black box as possible. This black box is the broken part that we are going to throw away.

Now, using my wire diagram and the picture of all the wires visible try make the same connections on your scooter. The connectors that go to the front brakes switch and the front gas switch are suppose to be disconnected and left alone. Buy or Get one of yours if you have one, a heavy duty switch, which will work on a 12 volt battery, and make sure that there are only two connections for that new On/Off switch. That is going to be our gas switch, turn it on to drive, or turn it off to park. Also, get or buy two heavy duty wires, just like the ones on the scooter’s batteries or stronger and fatter. Make sure your wires will not burn or melt from a 12 volt battery.

Make your new wires go from the top of the steering handles and from your new switch down with the original wires through the bottom hole with original wires. Use my diagram to make sure that you connect everything right. When you are finished the only areas that I had to connect and cover with electrical tape are the three areas that are in green on the diagram.

Most of the connectors stayed where they were originally just in case you’ll still want to buy the new part and put it the way it was.

Do not use your original gas switch, it will burn from too much power going to it, because the switch has skinny wires going to it.

Well, now cover everything back like it was, charge, and enjoy. When you are done, the reset button, the charging connection, and the on/off switch will all work, and your new gas on/off switch will work too. So, now you know how to fix your scooter if it has the same problem as I did. Enjoy.
