Razor MX650 Dirt Rocket Electric Motocross Bike




The high-performance, electric powered Razor MX650 Dirt Rocket is ideal for teens (ages 16 and up) who want to enjoy an authentic dirt bike experience without breaking the bank. The Dirt Rocket’s powerful motor carries riders at speeds of up to 17 miles per hour–more than enough for most bumpy dirt trails–and can cruise for up to 10 miles (or 40 minutes) on a single charge. At the same time, the bike’s dual suspension and riser handlebars deliver a smooth and comfortable ride regardless of the terrain, so the fun isn’t restricted to flat pavement. As a final bonus, the Dirt Rocket’s variable-speed, chain-driven motor is extremely quiet, a marked contrast to traditional gas-powered motocross bikes.

Other details include 16- and 14-inch pneumatic knobby tires for a maximum power transfer, authentic dirt bike frame geometry, Supercross inspired design, and folding metal foot pegs. The MX650, which requires roughly eight hours to fully charge, offers a maximum weight limit of 140 pounds. It’s also backed by a 90-day warranty.

5 Stars A lot of fun, great price on Amazon
I purchased this for my 3 kids, 16, 14 and 11. It is the same size as the MX 500, but has a more powerful electric motor. The kids and I are having fun around the yard. We have not used it on any strenuous trails. It slows a little when pulling my 150 lbs up the steep grass hill in our yard, but otherwise runs great. It is easy to handle and fun. Just remember an electric motor has steady power output, so it is hard to get a real slow start for beginners - it tends to lunge forward as soon as the throttle is applied. The kids got used to it quickly, but it was tricky for the nervous one.

The box arrived on time, but was too heavy (approx 100 lbs) for the delivery driver to do more than get it out of the truck. Fortunately I was home and decided to assemble it right there. Assemble went well, but I needed an extra set of hands to hold the bike in position. Both the front wheel and handlebars need to be mounted, which was a little awkward. All tools are included, but the instructions were not very clear. The stickers were not put on well, but structurally and mechanically it is well designed and built. Overall we are really happy with it!

5 Stars Nice machine for my 9 year old
This is a well-built machine. My 9 year old son loves riding it. It’s plenty fast. Make sure you ride with a helmet, closed toe shoes, and long sleeves and pants. My son took a spill on the pavement when he hit a water puddle, and got pretty scraped up because he had shorts and a t-shirt on. I’m 220 pounds, and I took it for a quick spin and found it carried me quite handily. It’s easy to learn to ride, and you can ride for about 30 minutes total on a charge. It comes mostly assembled. It took me about 45 minutes to complete the assembly. Instructions are poor, but it’s easy to figure out from the pictures. This is worth the money, and I would recommend it.

5 Stars Razor MX650 Dirt Rocket Electric Motocross Bike
Overall very happy with purchase. Assembly was quick and easy. 14 year old is enjoying it, as well as 11 year old brother. 14 year old will be looking to upgrade size and speed soon. Lasts more than an hour per charge. Best to run battery down to 3% regularly before recharging fully (generally overnight for full charge).

4 Stars O.K. product
It seems well built as far as durability goes. I can’t give it 5 stars because there is a glitch in the electrical system. After riding for 25 minutes or so, the motor will cut in and out. There’s a battery indicator on the handlebars that still shows full when this occurs so battery life seems good as far as I can tell. Customer service promptly sent me a new controller, I haven’t had a chance to replace it yet so I don’t know for sure if that’s the problem, but they shipped it out right away without any hassle and I had it in about a week.

5 Stars the best bike ever!

5 Stars Great Dirtbike!!!
Just bought this for my 11 year-old daughter. Took about half an hour to get it together! And then off she went! She said it was the best present ever. Even my 13 year old son loves it!! Couldn’t be happier!

4 Stars My son loves this!!!!
My 8 year old son loves this dirt bike and he is the envy of the neighborhood kids. He has had it for about a month now and rides it every day all day; and we have no complaints. Be aware, this bike is pretty fast and should not be purchased if your child is not comfortable on two wheels. It was easy to put together and it pretty sturdy. It is a bit heavy but has a very sturdy kickstand. I would highly recommend this product.

5 Stars Awesome!
I was nervous about buying this bike for my 10 year old’s birthday, especially since the recommended age was much higher than his, but he loves it! Actually, we all love riding it (carries up to 175 lbs!). It being electric also make me nervous, but it’s awesome! I totally recommended it. I do think that he would have been too big for the smaller size motorbike recommended for his age, this one fits him perfect and the amount of power is not too much for him to handle.

3 Stars Fun for kids 8-18. Back tire gears wear FAST.
My son enjoys riding this dirt bike.

He got it for christmas, and rode it for about 1-2 months before it broke.

Evidently, the back wheel has the gears built inside.

When they go, the only way to repair it (since it’s all welded shut) is to buy another back wheel. ($37) The new wheel was easy to put on, only took 10 mins.

Maybe the last wheel was defective. I will update later if this new wheel goes quickly.

2 Stars Battery Issues
I bought one of these for my 6 year old. He used it for a year and loved it. It worked well. However, over the winter I stored it indoors in my basement to avoid freezing temps here in New England. When I brought it out in the spring, the battery would not hold a charge at all - completely dead. The only authorized repair center was too far away for me. I bought an exact replacement battery online for $75 and installed it. It worked, but the motorcycle only goes half as fast as it did before. I read some similar reviews elsewhere with someone going to the company for 4-5 more new batteries within days of purchasing a new bike before finding one that worked properly. My son won’t even ride it anymore because its so slow.

I’m not sure I would spent the money on this again knowing I will only get a years worth of use from it without investing more money in it just to keep it running.It is a toy after all. Very disappointed in the quality of this and all toys today. We took extra good care of this maintenance wise. Does anyone make anything that lasts or stand behind their products anymore?

5 Stars Great bike, but not for a 14 year old
My son, who is 6 loves this bike! He rides it all day every day until the battery runs dry.

My son is a small 6 year old, so trying to imagine a 14 year old is hard. I would not recomend this for an older child, my daugher is 12 and hardly fits.

It is a great bike, fun and sporty, fast enough for one who wants some spead, yet light and easy enough to handle.

5 Stars Razor MX350 Dirt Rocket Electric Motorcross Bike
Awesome !!! My son loves it !!! Rides it everyday !!! The battery even lasts for when he’s riding it !!!

I am glad I ordered it it is really a great product and a great deal !!!

4 Stars Grandson says it’s awesome
We purchased the razor in June and our 6yr.old grandson loves it. The only issue I have with it is the tires don’t hold up and to find replacement tires is impossible in stores I had to go on the internet. He wasn’t to happy that he couldn’t ride it over the weekend. Today the new tires came in the mail so i called him andhe was happy.

4 Stars Great little first dirt bike!
My 5yr old son who has been riding w/out training wheels since age 3 hopped on this bike and just took off! It goes just fast enough for him to love it and me to be nervous. It is powerful enough to get around good in grass and the battery lasts for a good hour or more of riding it. I would not buy it for a kid older than 10 though. It was a great transition from Power Wheels though!

5 Stars Awsome!!!-A kids Reveiw
This rocks! It goes fast and loses no speed when you turn unlike electric scooters. I raced my freind on her supossidly faster scooter, and i won every time! It charges fast and has alot of ride time. I frequently go between my friends’ houses and it plain out looks cool! If you are going to buy this for your kid, do it! They’ll love it! But make sure you get a helmet- full face completes the look of motocross.
