Plain-English summary
Razor USA LLC is recalling approximately 20,000 E300 electric scooters. The recall involves blue or silver scooters with barcodes beginning in 100620-03 through -09. The model number appears on the tube connecting the head tube to the deck, and barcodes can be found on the steering stem, battery tray, charger, and packaging.
