Look for smooth surfaces to ride your Razor Scooter on. Because the wheels of the Razor Scooter are so low to the ground, it does not ride well on any terrain other than asphalt and packed dirt. Any other type of terrain (gravel, grass and loose dirt) will cause the wheels to bind. This will not only damage your Razor Scooter, but put you in danger of falling as well.

Place one foot on the baseboard. The baseboard is the board between the two wheels on your Razor Scooter.

Repeat the "push off" motion with your other foot until you have reached your desired speed.

Apply the brakes by stepping on the rear fender. Before you go off jet-setting around town, make sure you practice braking slowly and safely at various speeds.
