Steps to Fold a Razor Scooter

- Locate the latch in the center of the scooter deck near the rear fender. Lift up on the latch to release the folding mechanism.
- With one hand on the handlebars and one hand holding the rear fender, gently push the handlebars forward to fold the scooter in half. The folding joint will collapse inward.
- Press firmly on the folded scooter to lock it closed. The latch should automatically re-engage. Your scooter is now folded up for storage and transport!
