User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Great price
We love our trailer but the only thing is, make sure you are athletic and in shape before you purchase it. My husband has to attach it to his bike b/c I get too tired to trail the 2 kids around in it (they are about 30lbs each). I have to say that it is really roomy and lots of fun for the kids! It attaches to the bike easily and is easy to assemble, etc.

5 Stars Great Bike Trailer
I bought this trailer to carry luggage, not children, and it has worked out great! I went to Martha’s Vineyard for a weekend and was able to put my backpack and my wife’s backpack plus food items and more in the trailer and it worked great!

5 Stars For the Grandkids
I have not used the trailer because of time constrains. It will be used this coming weekend.

The trailer is just what I wanted.

From placement of order to receiving the item, there were no glitches. I rated the overall service as 5 stars.

Look forward to my next purchase.

5 Stars Great Deal, Great Price
I couldn’t be happier with this product. It works perfectly for our little one, and can’t imagine anyone spending the money on a name brand bike trailer when they could get this item for less than $100. I will say that the cloth seats and belts inside seem a little on the cheap side, but it works perfectly for neighborhood strolls. I would recommend this item to anyone on a budget who wants some quality outdoor bike time with their baby.

1 Star Very cheap materials
Though we were initially thrilled, we were not so happy when the first of the restraint straps broke within a few weeks of purchase. A few weeks later a second strap broke, rendering one side of the trailer unusable. Six months later, straps on the other side began fraying and snapping. Mind you, this was with infrequent use and with two children under the age of three–not really heavy or active kids. The trailer was kept outside in mild weather, covered and in the shade. Now (at just over a year of ownership) all of the straps have completely rotted apart and it is completely unsafe to put our kids in it. After reading through several of the other reviews, this is clearly a recurring issue.

Though we ultimately purchased the Instep Take 2 for less than $100 (on sale), I wouldn’t buy this trailer again for half the price. I’m all for saving a buck where you can, but this is a *complete* waste of cash.

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.

Features:

  • Twist-grip throttle acceleration control
  • Double crown fork
  • 16-inch (front) and 14-inch (back) pneumatic knobby tires
  • Folding metal foot pegs

User Ratings and Reviews

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!
i bout this bike with my money for 399.99 beacuse my cusin had one and i rode it.it sounds slow 17 mph when i rode it it the most fun ive ever had.it felt like it went 30 mph its not loud at all.the first time it charges for about 15 hours do that for a couple days then 10 then 8 and stay that way.im ten and about 4,8 and it fits me perfect.thank u amazon for puting the price sssssssssssssssssssssssssooooooooooooooooooo low.and razor for making 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?

User Ratings and Reviews

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.

Razor E200 Electric Scooter

Monday, August 10th, 2009

Razor E200 Electric Scooter




Cruise around the neighborhood in style with the Razor E200 electric scooter. Boasting an adjustable handlebar that adapts to riders of all sizes, an ultra-quiet chain-driven motor, and a handy twist-grip throttle accelerator, the E200 is the perfect device for teens and adults wanting to speed over to a friend’s house or head to the park. Unlike Razor’s E300S and E500S scooters–which offers a seated ride–the E200 requires you to stand while zipping through town. But standing in the E200 isn’t a problem thanks to the full-size deck and frame, which are custom designed for ages 12 and up. Once you’re on the move, the variable-speed motor ramps up to 12 miles per hour–fast enough to have fun, but not fast enough to be a menace on the street or sidewalk.

The long-life rechargeable battery, meanwhile, lasts for up to 45 minutes of continuous use per charge (with an eight-hour charge time), so you can easily cruise to the grocery store and back without running out of juice. Other details include 8-inch pneumatic tires for a smooth ride, a hand-operated rear brake, and such accessories as a pair of 12-volt batteries, a charger, and tools. The E200, which offers a maximum weight limit of 220 pounds, is backed by a 90-day warranty.

The buyer and rider of the E200 scooter are responsible for knowing and obeying all local, state, and federal regulations regarding the riding and use of scooters.

4 Stars Razor E200
We have had this for our Grandaughter now for several weeks and she loves it. It actually stays charged pretty well and she rides it all over. It arrived even earlier than it was supposed to in good shape and everything I needed to assemble it came in the box with it. It doesn’t run quite as fast as I thought it might, BUT, thats probably a good thing:)

Happy Grandpa

5 Stars Awesome
I am a 10 year old, and I think this scooter is awesome. It goes twice as fast as a regular bike. I’ve had so much fun on it that I rode it every day.

5 Stars Good Purchase
The Razor 200 is a well built machine with tires that will take the punishment of the rider.

4 Stars better than I thought
I was hesitant buying this for my 10 year old daughter, mostly because of negative comments from customer reviews. We have been happy with the scooter so far. The battery life is good and she loves riding it around the neighborhood. She tried riding it up a curb and knocked something loose, so now it makes a funny noise when she rides, but it still works.

2 Stars new motor
We got this approx. 3 weeks ago and already need to buy a new motor for this one and for the 300 model. My kids loved them until a new motor was needed. So I will be buying new motors and hope that they will last longer.
