Razor E200 Electric Scooter: How to Properly Install Washers on the Back Wheel

Navigating the installation of washers on the Razor E200 Electric Scooter's back wheel can be a daunting task, especially for first-time users. Ensuring proper placement is key to maintaining your scooter's performance and safety. In this article, we'll walk you through a step-by-step guide to correctly installing the washers onto the back wheel of your Razor E200 Electric Scooter.

Step 1: Gather your supplies
To get started, make sure you have the following items on hand: 2 washers (included with your scooter purchase), a wrench or spanner, and possibly a rubber mallet.

Step 2: Find the washers
Locate the two washers that came with your scooter. There should be one small washer and one larger washer. The small washer will go on the inside of the wheel, while the larger washer will go on the outside.

Step 3: Remove the rear wheel
Using your wrench or spanner, loosen the nut that holds the rear wheel in place. Once this nut is loose, you can gently slide the rear wheel off the axle. Be careful not to lose any spacers that may fall off during this process.

Step 4: Install the small washer
Place the small washer onto the axle where the wheel previously was. The flat side of the washer should face the scooter, while the rounded side should face the wheel. This small washer serves as a spacer to help ensure your wheel spins freely without rubbing against the scooter's frame.

Step 5: Reattach the rear wheel
Slide the rear wheel back onto the axle, making sure it sits snugly against the small washer you just installed. This is when you may need to use a rubber mallet to gently tap the wheel into place if it's a tight fit.

Step 6: Install the large washer
Now, place the larger washer onto the axle on the outside of the rear wheel. The purpose of this washer is to evenly distribute pressure when you tighten the nut, ultimately preventing damage to the wheel or axle.

Step 7: Tighten the nut
Finally, use your wrench or spanner to tighten the nut back onto the axle. Ensure it's securely fastened, as this will help prevent wobbling and potential accidents while riding your scooter.

Now that you've successfully installed the washers on your Razor E200 Electric Scooter's back wheel, you can confidently ride your scooter knowing the wheel is properly positioned and secure. Enjoy the ride!
