Essentially a scaled-down motocross bike with an electric motor, the Razor MX350 Dirt Rocket is ideal for pre-teens and teens (ages 12 and up) who want to enjoy the dirt bike experience without breaking the bank. The Dirt Rocket's powerful motor carries riders at speeds of up to 14 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 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 12-inch pneumatic knobby tires for a maximum power transfer, authentic dirt bike frame geometry, and a retractable kickstand. The MX350, 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.

you'll wish you were a kid again This product is really amazing. Because of the quality and the sheer novelty of it, I think it is worth more than double the current price. The free shipping is over top since this is a large and heavy item.
It assembles quick and easily with the tools provided. You have to charge it up overnight before first use so manage expectations when the product arrives. But who are we kidding? Im over 200 lbs and I was riding that thing around the driveway while my kids were sleeping.
The product really flies. The suspension works well. The electric motor is silent operation, which you just can get used to because it is so fast. If your child can ride a bike without training wheels, they can ride this thing. But you will need some space. Its so fast, they will be expanding their horizons quickly.
And because it is so fast, you will need serious safety equip. Real helmets not bicycle helmets. You may want to consider shin pads and maybe wrist guards. If/when your kids fall off, they are going to get hurt. Thats part of motorcycling. The bike is heavy and if they are small, they might have a hard time getting it off of them when it falls over. My 35 lb 4 y.o. gets stuck under it. My 40 lb 5 y.o. has no problem.
Everyone in my neighborhood has the same reaction: I wish they had something like this when I was a kid. : 2012-02-11 11:29:02

Great for the price, not equivalent to a "real" dirt bike I got this for $200 delivered, bought it for my 4-yr old since hes still too short to touch the ground on my old Honda Z50R my first bike when I was a kid. For the price we paid it is actually built surprisingly well. History on my kid; he would ride with my on my Honda 50 and he would control the throttle, brakes and shifting while I managed the steering and balance and occasional parental override on the brakes, so he had a good feel for the controls before he got onto this Razor. So the first time he got onto this Razor he took right off! And he loves riding it! The motor has enough power to pull my 45# kid through mild grass and dirt dirt roads just fine, and even some mild woods trails. Mild hills are no problem, but it won climb steep hills or go through deep sugar sand by itself. The throttle is NOT variable, its on/off, but it starts off very smoothly so its not a jolt when he turns the grip, and he picked right up on bumping the throttle on/off to go slow. It only has a rear brake lever on the left handlebar and no suspension. But the battery goes easily for an hour of non-stop riding on a hard surface and top speed is around 15mph on hard ground. The brake lever is adult sized; the perch has the lever far enough from the bar to be comfortable for an adult or older kid, but my 4-yr old son has to take his hand nearly off the handlebar to reach out to the lever. But once he gets his hand on it he has no trouble pulling it in for small hands, adjust it so the engagement point is closer to the bar, and it is plenty strong to lock the rear wheel even on pavement. For general zipping around this is fine, but it won be good for teaching technical riding where a rider needs to keep his fingers on the brake lever at all times. As soon as you touch the brake lever it turns the motor off which is probably a good feature for beginning riders. The foot pegs are plenty wide, even for adults, and they fold up which is nice in a crash and weve had lots of crashes!. There is no suspension so the poor little guys get beat up pretty good on rough ground. My son isn standing when he rides yet so he likes to avoid the very bumpy areas. The chain is completely covered so theres no chance of the kids getting their pants or shoe strings caught in it. Its very light weight maybe 50# so when the little kids fall the bike isn hard to pick up and doesn squish them. The knobs on the tires are flat and square, similar to a trials tire, which means they have plenty of grip on hard surfaces. The seat height is low so little kids can touch the ground easily. Charging takes several hours, so once the battery goes dead its time to plug it in and go find something else to do for a while. You have to remove several screws to get to the battery, so even if you had a spare, swapping it while at the riding area would be a bit of a pain.
Pros: inexpensive, very light weight, soft forgiving but adequate power that won intimidate little kids, low seat height, reasonable battery life, fold up foot pegs, good build quality, nearly silent so the neighbors won complain.
Cons: no suspension, non-variable throttle, adult sized brake lever perch, not enough power for steep hills, long recharge time and swapping batteries takes too long to be convenient for the purpose of bringing extra batteries to extend ride time
Conclusion: If you want to figure out how into bikes your kids are before dropping $1500 on a real bike, or if you want to get a very small kid into the sport then this is a wonderful option. Despite the few short comings, this is a great bike for the price and my kid absolutely loves it. It won compete with a 50cc pee-wee bike from Honda, Yamaha, etc.., and probably won compete with an OSET electric $1000, but its less than 1/5 the price or the other bikes, at least 50# lighter than the gas bikes and definitely a good buy for the price. I suspect kids in the city will ride this thing until the wheels are worn off, but more serious aspiring off-road or motocross riders will probably outgrow it quickly. You get a lot of bike for only $200, so if this is your price point or if youve got a young kid just starting out then this bike is a good buy. : 2012-02-11 11:28:33
