Razor MX650 Dirt Rocket Electric Motocross Off-road Bike - Yellow

The media could not be loaded. This video shows our daughter, 7 years old at the time, riding her MX650 for the first time last year. She has since gotten significantly better. It also shows the vast difference between this and a power wheels.I have ridden dirt bikes and street bikes for 20 years. From 80 cc dirt bikes, to 1,000 cc super-sports, to my current toy, a Honda CRF250L. I've ridden forest trails and even dragged knees at race tracks. I've rebuilt motorcycles from the frame up and performed countless services. I have experience with bikes. With that said, I could not be happier with this little Razor dirt bike.Most of the people complaining seem to expect this little bike to compete with the big boys in terms of quality and power. Take a look at your local Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki dealership and you'll find even the smallest 50 and 80cc dirt bikes are $2,000 or more, I looked again before buying this. This little Razor is 1/4 the price. Not much more than your cheap plastic power wheels. However, unlike your power wheels and other cheap plastic ride-on's in this price range which have plastic tires, no suspension, etc., this bike has it all, working suspension, rubber tires, long life, etc. Not to mention, no maintenance, no carburetor to mess with, no oil to change, the brakes are those off a bicycle. Everything is simple. Also, unlike buying a used dirt bike in this price range, this is new. You don't have to deal with the usually poor treatment of the previous owner.We bought this bike for our 7 year old daughter. The warnings and advertising for a teenager is a joke. The warnings actually say no younger than 16. I love how a 15 year old can drive on the highway in a car at 60mph, but by the warnings isn't old enough to ride this toy 15mph on grass. Even now at 8 years old our daughter has quickly has mastered the bike and could move up to something bigger. However, with that said, I do really enjoy riding this little bike myself. As does my wife. Its quite fun to just zip around the yard. Recently I have started riding it through the woods on trails where I ride my real dirt bike. I was very surprised about how well it performed. I was definitely pushing it well beyond its intended design, but it held up fine, even with my adult weight.My one and only gripe with the bike is the gearing. Its geared for riding across flat grass. It loses all power going up a hill. At least with my adult weight. It handles our daughters weight just fine. I plan to remedy this however with a larger custom rear sprocket. With that, this could easily be a toy for me as well as a good dirt bike for some legitimate trail riding.As for the power life. Again, not sure whats wrong with other reviews. We can ride this bike for hours with my daughters weight. For well over an hour with my adult weight. With a bigger sprocket to tax the motor less, I think it will be even better. As for ruggedness. This thing has already survived numerous falls and crashes. Also, like I said earlier, I've taken it on trails I take my real dirt bikes, with my adult weight, it has held up fine.Overall, this is one of the best purchases I've made. With all the cheap products out their these days, this has been a great experience.

Came quickly as Amazon orders always do. Packaging was perfect, no evidence of drops or crushing. Assembly was fairly easy, instructions were clear, took me about 20 minutes. The hardest part was lifting the box off the bike. Tires were pre-inflated. No tube or flat problems like I heard about in other versions of this bike. As a matter of fact, my son's mother purchased an MX350 for our 8 year's birthday at her home, and she had to drive an hour to get the tire fixed to save the day. After charging our MX650 for 18 hours, I took it for a ride around the neighborhood to make sure everything was working properly. I weigh about 175 and was surprised how peppy this thing is. My son has been riding this pretty regularly at our home for clips of 30-40 minutes, and I have only charged it 5 times since December. The battery has only so many charging cycles, so I'll let it get low before recharging it. He must have gotten 90 minutes out of the last charge. Highly recommend this bike. I felt an 8 year old didn't need the speed and danger of a real gas dirtbike. This thing has been fast and fun enough to keep his ADHD attention.Update November 2010: We have two of these, and both have been well used and still hold a 30-40 minute charge. Zero problems with the motors or tires too. Our boy took a few spills on his, got some gnarly scrapes, but that's to be expected. The kids don't run to use them as much as they did last December, because like any toy, this too gets old.Update September 2011: Both are still running! The kids are a little older now (12 and almost 10). The 12 year-old has become too tall (and mature :) to ride hers, so it's been passed down to the 10 year-old boy's buddies when they come over. They're not used as much as they used to be, so I feared the batteries would be shot. Not only do the batteries still hold a pretty decent charge, but I have NEVER, not once, filled the tires with air, and they're still in great shape! I may, for the first time, fill the tires to give them a little boost in speed. We moved to a more urbanish suburb with less dirt, so they're ridden on paved streets now when they're ridden. We've moved twice since we first got them. They've had a few minor spills, but no serious injuries to the bikes or kids (thank goodness). Bottom line, they've held up very well, still running excellent for a two year-old battery powered riding toy.Update October 2012: The kids are now almost 11 and 13, and they're both pretty much done with these things. Both the bikes still run! Original tires and batteries. Granted, the battery on one of them lasts about 20 minutes and the other a little longer, but the kids are bigger and heavier than they were two years ago, so that's to be expected. We sold them to someone for about $150 each for his kids, and they're very pleased. Overall, still 5 stars over our complete ownership. That's pretty darn good. Still recommend!

Bought this about 2 years ago for my then 10 yr old son and he still rides it all the time at age 13, though he is big on it. It handles the weight well.It was pretty easy to put together. Took me about 45 min, and I would not call myself handy. Good instructions. The bike is pretty heavy duty and overall good quality. Very quiet. Speed is acceptable for an 8-10 yo, but not pokey either. The plastic wheel fenders stood up to severe beating- jumping, wheelies, numerous crashes and wipeouts before one broke. It did not affect the bike performance 😄. Battery life lasts about 4 hours of constant use. Usually charge it each night. Great bike to learn how to ride “dirt bike” style and master basic skills without a clutch or gas motor.

I've owned quite a few electric mini dirtbikes... including the mx500. If you are looking for a great starter dirt bike this is your go to. I love the safety feature on the throttle. You can give it gas but also hold on at the same time. My boys and I all love it. Easy to assemble, long battery life, awsome shock, it runs nicely on rugged terrain and on road alike. After a full charge we got three hours of full blast use on some very hilly off road courses. I cant say enough good things about it. And if you are stuck between which to get out of the razormx500 and this one.... buy this one... its superior in every way. It also is alot bigger then it looks.My 12 year old is 5ft 4 and 140 pounds. 17 year old is 5ft10 and 150 and they both love this bike and can ride it nicely.I've only had it a couple days so will give a future update with longevity and how it does long term.
