Razor Scooter Reset Button: Location Guide & Fix (E100, E300, Pocket Mod)

You are riding your Razor scooter. Suddenly, it dies.

The light on the switch goes out. The motor won’t spin. You try to charge it, but the light stays green.

You probably tripped the Circuit Breaker (Reset Button).

This little red (or black) button is designed to pop out and cut power if the motor gets too hot (usually from riding up hills or exceeding the weight limit). To fix it, you just need to push it back in.

But first, you have to find it.

Razor Reset Button Location List (Cheat Sheet)

Every model hides the button in a different place. Find your model below to stop guessing.

Razor Model	Reset Button Location	Does it have a Fuse?
E100 / E125 / E150	On the Battery Tray. You must look through the opening near the front wheel (under the deck) or unscrew the deck cover.	No (Internal Breaker)
E200 / E300 (Old)	Next to the On/Off Switch. Look for a small black rubber circle.	No
E200 / E300 (New)	Near the Motor. Look on the side of the battery box, near where the charger plugs in.	No
Pocket Mod (Vespa)	Under the Seat. Open the storage hatch. It is near the charging port.	No
Power Core E90 / E95	NO BUTTON. These models use a 30A Fuse inside the battery wires. If it dies, you must replace the fuse.	Yes (Glass Fuse)
MX350 / MX650 Dirt Bike	On the Plastic Body. Usually located near the On/Off switch or the main battery cover.	No
Crazy Cart	Next to the Charge Port. Located on the black plastic cover behind the seat.	No

How to “Reset” It Properly (The Secret Trick)

Many people push the button and say “It didn’t work!” That is because they are pushing it wrong.

Wait 5 Minutes: If the breaker is hot, the metal inside is expanded. It will NOT click back in until it cools down. Wait.
The “Click” Test: Push the button firmly.
- Did it click? Good. You reset it. Turn the power on and ride.
- Is it loose/wobbly? If it feels like a loose tooth and doesn’t click, it was never tripped. Your problem is likely a dead battery or a bad throttle, not the breaker.
Does it Pop Immediately? If you press it, start the scooter, and it “POPS” again instantly, your Motor is shorted or your Controller is fried. You need new parts.

“My Model Has No Button!” (The Hidden Fuse)

If you have a Power Core E90, E95, or some older E100s, you will not find a button.

These scooters use a generic automotive fuse (usually 30 Amp).

Open the Deck: Remove the screws on the footboard.
Find the Black Box: Locate the battery. Follow the Red (+) wire.
Find the Capsule: You will see a small plastic capsule on the wire. Open it.
Check the Fuse: If the metal wire inside the glass/plastic is broken or black, the fuse is blown. Replace it with a new 30A fuse from an auto parts store ($5).

When to Buy New Parts?

Battery: If the reset button isn’t popped, but the scooter is slow or dies in 5 minutes, you need new 12V 7Ah Batteries (Link).
Breaker: If the button is physically broken (plastic cracked) or won’t stay in, you can buy a “Replacement 7 Amp Reset Button” on Amazon for $8.

Our Analysis / Expert Opinion

At TechReal Repair, the Razor E100 and E300 series are the most durable scooters we service, but the “Reset Button” is the most misunderstood feature.

The “Circuit Breaker” Reality: Many parents think this button reboots the software (like restarting an iPhone).It does not. This button is actually a Thermal Circuit Breaker. It only pops out when the motor draws too much power (e.g., riding up a steep hill or exceeding the weight limit).

Diagnostic Trick: Press the button.
- If it clicks: It was tripped. You likely overloaded the scooter. Let it cool down for 15 minutes.
- If it feels loose (no click): It was not tripped. Your problem is not the fuse; it is likely a Dead Battery or a Faulty On/Off Switch.

The “Instant Pop” Warning: If you press the reset button, turn the scooter on, and it immediately pops back out the moment you hit the throttle, STOP. This indicates a Short Circuit in the motor or controller.

Expert Advice: Do NOT tape the button down to force it to run. We have seen melted wires and fire hazards caused by parents taping this safety switch.

Location Tip: On the Razor E100/E125, the button is often hidden directly next to the On/Off switch, but it is black-on-black and hard to see. On the E90 Power Core, it is sometimes located near the front of the deck, not the back.
