How to Troubleshoot a Razor Go Kart
The Razor brand is generally known for its scooters, but the company also manufactures small electric go karts. If you are having problems with your Razor go kart, there are several things you can do that should help it work properly again. Troubleshooting the battery, the charging connector and the weight capacity should remedy most of the problems. You dont have to be a Razor technician to ensure your go kart stay in good working condition; its possible to check out any potential issues with little hassle and minimal knowledge of the go kart itself.

Charge the battery on the go kart for a total of 12 hours. If you do not charge the battery for 12 hours, the battery will die prematurely. If you are charging the battery for the first time, charge it for 18 hours. Recharge the battery if you are not getting power to your go kart.
2Check the connection on the charger. Run your hands up and down the charging cable. Make sure there are no frays or breaks in the wiring. If there are frays or breaks in the wiring, the battery will not be able to charge. This could also cause an electrical fire. Replace the charger if problems are discovered.
3Follow the battery terminal cables going to the motor. If the battery terminal cables are not tight on the battery, the motor will not be able to get power. Use a pair of channel locks to tighten the connection.
4Drive the go kart on flat surfaces. The go kart is not built for driving off-road and you will not achieve maximum speed if you do take it off-road. The go kart has the ability to reach 12 miles per hour but only if its driven on flat surfaces.
5Check the total weight you are loading into the go kart. Razor go karts can only support 140 pounds so if you have more than 140 pounds in the go kart, you will not be able to reach maximum speed.
