4 Stars As advertized
So far so good. My fifteen y/o granddaughter is riding the heck out of it. I got it for her because I had gotten her ten y/o little brother a Razor 350 Dirt Rocket and it was just a little to small for her to ride. Oh, if your kid is a normal sized ten y/o, do not get the 350/400 Razor Dirt Rocket, get a 500/650 one.

5 Stars I bought a second one after testing
Fast to assemble. Better quality than expected. Halls a 240lbs 54 year old up hills with no problem. Holds a charge for weeks when unused. It is worth more than $400! The sale price is unreal. I bought a second one after testing for 1-1/2 months. Everybody loves to use it in my large family. It will go on grass fine. I hope this company builds a car they should have gotten the bail out money. Notice most reviews are Very Good who have the parts at set up. Us folks who got the good parts can’t say enough. These do what you hope they would. 900 watts is the way to go but keep in mind careless youth can get hurt on one. They are just fast enough to get into trouble.

5 Stars This is a GREAT buy!
It came the day after I ordered it - simple assembly, charged up quick, and has been great to ride. Handles hills, grass, rough ground with no problem - nice and stable, and plenty of power - this was a STEAL at $250!

5 Stars Super Fun!
I purchased this product at Sam’s Club recently and have enjoyed the scooter very much. It has a very good battery life, and the battery gauge on the top handle of the scooter is very helpful. It does take time to get used to the max speed of the scooter. I can use it for a lot of different things from recreation to transportation. In california at least, electric scooters follow the laws of bikes. This makes it easy for trips to the grocery store and such. It handles hills very well. This scooter is a great buy and I would definately reccomend it to anyone!

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

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.

1 Star Too pricey for junk…
I bought two of these. Description made it sound like a cool little scooter. Seemed kind of dependable out of the box, I’ve seen cheaper stuff. Anyway, one scooter did what I see a lot of people have experienced. It shut off just down the street. Had to stop - reset - push off and ride for maybe 100 feet - repeat! The other scooter ran good for short while, then same thing?!?! Also did’nt hold charge very long. Nothing near what the description states for battery, weight tolerance or speed. NOT WORTH PRICE!

4 Stars Razor Scooter
Really good scooter but would be nice if had more running time 45 minutes is small amount of time for a 12 hour charge

4 Stars Razor review
The E300s is a great and sturdy unit. The only set back is the battery life. Battery will last about 45 min on a good charge.

1 Star This is a terrible item
This scooter is NOT for heavier riders……maybe 120 lbs maximum. After only of a day’s use when new, our son, who’s 145 lbs complained that the circuit breaker kept popping. Contacting Razor resulted in essentially instructions to rebuild the rear wheel assembly. In doing so, I discovered that the brake was very tight and dragging badly. The chain was very, very tight as well. After rebuilding the entire assembly, with the TERRIBLE instruction manual, the rear wheel was freed up considerably. Still, when used again…..continual circuit breaker popping. The problem is most definitely that the motor is way too small to produce the required torque, and once it’s hot, the circuit breaker pops. It will NOT WORK well for riders over approx 120 lbs, in spite of what they claim. The item is reasonably well constructed, despite what the Chinese did on the brake and chain tension. Only a larger motor and battery would help the situation. I cannot recommend this product….it will be a frustration to own.

3 Stars Razor E300s
I bought this scooter for my son who is 10, but here is the problems i see. This is very heavy constructed scooter, but it is missing the little things. This scooter does not have any LED light indicator when the battery is running low, so u have to take a guess if you have a full charge or not. The battery does not last long either.

This scooter is not worth the money, I rather have Schwinn instead of this.

4 Stars Good bang 4 the buck
This model was $25.00 cheaper than the blue one( I know ,I’m so technical). It goes just as fast. I love the sound it makes when it is running.

4 Stars E200S Razor Electric Scooter
I bought this item a few years ago and it is still working great. It has giving my grand daughter many hours of enjoyment. Running at 12mph is not too fast and yet fast enough, the battery seems to last aprx 1/2 to 3/4 of an hour before you have to recharge. It was an excellent purchase and is made of high quality material and workman ship.

5 Stars Designed more for the older kids
I, as an adult, LOVED this scooter! I ride it all the time and have a blast every time. Unfortunately, Santa actually brought it for my 7 year old step-daughter who is absolutely terrified of it. She isn’t able to balance herself on it and it goes too fast for her. I think if she knew how to ride a bike without training wheels, she’d be able to ride this, too. I was hoping that this scooter would help her learn to balance so she’d be more willing to attempt to ride a bike but no such luck.

Bottom line, the scooter is a lot of fun. It’s just too advanced for younger children. Guess that’s why they say you should be 12 to ride it…

5 Stars A great scooter!!
This was a great purchase! My daughter loves it!! She is 8 and is 53 lbs. The seat is great. She kind of sits on it, just enough to lean. I will definately purchase one for my son next year.

5 Stars Great ride for the price!
Product was easy to assemble and get up and running. Daughter loved it and actually goes faster than I though it would. Seems to be a great product, especially for the reasonable price. Only negative is that the box came mangled from UPS and the throttle assembly housing was cracked exposing two wires. Did not notice the cracked piece at first. Called RAZR and they sent me a new throttle assembly.

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.
