Before delivery to 8 yr old, I had to test drive it to ensure it's stability & braking.
I'm in my mid 30's and weigh 180 lbs. This motorcyle took off. It has torque from 0-100. Suspension is great. Braking is great. The throttle is variable per input meaning you can give a pinch and it will only go a pinch, or you can give full throttle and it will launch all the way to top speed. My 8yr old drives this thing full throttle and has no issues, even as far as starting to do stunts like Pee-Wee Herman from the classic 80's film.
Battery life: around the neighborhood seems to be 1 hour+ around the neighborhood.
Up-hill, no issue with a child - struggles with adult, but with efficient maneuvering, will make it.
Speed: 17mph flat ground - adult or child
Off Road: fully capable
I have a 2 year old boy as well. He loves riding it with me when possible. That makes 205 total weight and no issues what so ever.
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!
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.
My son is only 7, but on the bigger size for his age, so it was hard to decide which model would fit him well. His friend had the small mx 350 and it was obviously too small, but this bike said its meant for kids age 16 and up (!!!).
After seeing it in a store, it was obvious how small this would be for a 16 year old. It's great for my son and I can see him fitting on it for quite a while. But, it's big enough and strong enough that his father can still ride it every now and then too, so it's not impossible for an older rider.
It does have power though and is noticeably faster than the mx350, but he quickly learned how to handle it and never had any issues controlling the dirt bike.
Overall, it's an amazing dirt bike for an amazing price - especially if your rider would need you to buy a gas station of your own if they had a real gas dirt bike!!
The recommendations for height and weight are safety measures on the company's part, but you know your kid better than they do and can be able to judge if they could handle the power and size.
I would post a picture but he is never still long enough to be any more than a blur! Lol
My husband and I can ride it as well as you can see, he's 6 ft.
Do not get this soaked aka wash your new bday gift. Even though it has a black box protecting the battery and wires it is not waterproof and has cracks. If you do... and you notice it clicks but doesn't move. You'll have to open it up and dry it off. It's a pain in the a$$, long story short mom to the rescue. Small puddles are fine just don't drowned the damn thing.
I put this together by myself, took about 20-30mins. It was pretty easy, I'd say the only hard part was getting the front tire on, that took me a hot min because the bike is heavy. You can't flip it on its seat because it will break/ stress the plastic. Well I guess you can but it might not look new afterwards.
It has a little shock system but nothing compared to gas or "actual" dirt bikes. My son likes to take it off jumps and it manages but definitely not recommend. It can't handle it. Little ramps sure, but when I say jumps. I mean my son jumped a flight of park stairs with it. 😳 Yes he survived, however, I think all the other moms started to ventilate. 😂
Anyways awesome gift. Goes about the speed it says. Battery life is accurate to description. Also has front and back brake.
Negative: Front suspension and front disk brakes are noisy. They are noisy no matter the weight(230lbs or 50lbs) on the bike.
Overall, kids love them around the house. Adults can use them if you want to go on mini trips...one for the adult one for a child. You will look goofy but will have as big a smile as your kid while riding.. Soon I'll have to buy another for my daughter. :)
SPEED: Clocked it at about 18 mi/h on flat street, with 190lbs on the bike. My kids pass me easily probably getting around 20mph
I'm very impressed with the MX650's quality. It is built to last, with a strong steel frame and rugged components. I'm sure it can take a beating for years and still go strong. Razor definitely put quality and durability first - it is refreshing to get a product that is well thought, well constructed, and built for frequent and long term use. Charging is a bit time consuming, but that's the nature of current battery systems.
If you're looking for a powered two-wheeler that is something more than a simple toy, but something less than a full-blown motorbike, and the intended user is in the large 8 year-old to a small 12 year-old range, I definitely recommend the MX650.
**UPDATE!!**
Believe it or not- this little machine is a BEAST!!! And believe me when I say that takes a lot coming from an ADULT. Yes. That’s right. I’m a very small frame, athletic AF adult female at 5”2’ and 105lbs.
ZERO SHAME in saying that although I drive an SUV, I haven’t forgotten my days spent dirt biking and skateboarding with my older brothers and have luckily stayed in pretty decent shape throughout the years (cue ^modesty^ haha!) in any event.. I knobs I’d expect a lot. And trust me when I say I took this little baby to a dirt canyon LOADED with jumps, turns, rocks and shale galore and it did exceedingly well for over an hour. I didn’t gauge the speed- but I was in the air at least 1/5 of the time and put this baddie through hell chasing after my nephews who are demons. Long story long- if it’s under $700 JUST BUY IT AND SMILE. You’re very welcome🙌🏻
Update: Still going strong after 4yrs. My 4yr old daughter is now asking for an electric bike of her own after being hiked by her older brother for the last two years.
Change the motor sprocket: This is a great upgrade! You lose a few mph top speed (hardly noticeable around the yard) but the improved acceleration and throttle response at lower speeds make me highly recommend it. The factory is 11 tooth, the replacement is 9 tooth- changing the gear ratio from 7.27:1 to 8:1. I'm not sure if it's sold on Amazon, but search for electric scooter part SPR-2509C
Stock batteries aren't very good: Use the factory batteries until they die and then replace them with something higher quality. I replaced the batteries on our used one with three quality SLA batteries (Interstate DCM0012 12Ah) These last longer and seem to deliver higher current than the budget batteries the bikes ship with. The factory harness is soldered to the battery terminals. Dorman sells 10 - 12 ga right angle connectors (Dorman 84172) that work great for the SLA terminals and are available on Amazon or at most auto parts stores.
The front fork isn't the best but it's lasted three years on the old one. The rear shock was clunking on the brand new bike when it arrived. We unscrewed the lower spring perch a few turns so that the spring tension lowered. This kept the shock plunger from rebounding and hitting the upper stop.
If you have decent electrical skills (being able to identify the positive and negative wires of the battery harness, splice, and solder) then you should upgrade to a pulse charger (like the Granite Digital Battery Saver) or microprocessor controlled battery charger (like Powerstream) The factory charging port runs through the motor controller and wouldn't work for me unless I used the constant amp charger it came with.
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.
It works great for the money however, we have had six of these and almost all of them die within 6 to 10 months
It’s still a lot cheaper than buying gas, powered one, and eliminate the smell of gas or getting burned by the carburetor
Shocked by look, looks like the real deal.
Shocked by power (heavy duty electric motor)
Shocked at ease of assembly, install front wheel, handle bar, front fender and front number plackered (all tools needed were included)
Shocked by assembly time 95% assembled ( it took 20 minutes to complete)
I have over a dozen razor products and never disappointed in performance, this motorcycle is the best of the lot. I ordered a 2nd one after I saw the finished product. I have 2 Quad 500's and been impressed by them. The kids play on them every day. I had 2 smaller motorcycles and the kids out grew them. This 650 is shockingly large and impressive.
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 was looking up something on Amazon and realized how long we've owned this and felt compelled to write the review as I've bought plenty of toys that didn't hold up over the years. It's not cheap by any means but it's definitely a long lasting toy.
I showed him a video of kids riding this razor and he loved it and his friend has a 500. I assembled it and had it charged for his party and he took off and his Nana nearly had to change her pants. It's great if moms don't want kids to have a gas powered motorcycle.
Now for the review. Assembly was pretty easy for a mechanic. Shouldn't be too hard for anyone. I did change the shock mounting hole, it has two, to raise the rear end up some and tightened the shock up a bit. Be careful installing the front wheel or you could bend the disk brake rotor. Brakes work well just a little flimsy on the rotors part.
Decals are cheap and placement needs improvement but kids won't notice that. The cap over the charging port is a nice touch.
Charging a 36 volt system takes a good while but if it is charged overnite it should last all day if not ridden too hard.
Speed is good 12 - 15 mph depending on terrain and going by my Honda 100 speedometer.
Fit and finish on metal parts is good and it cleans up easy. Don't hose it off too hard because it is electric.
If anyone needs to replace batteries, which should be a few years, be careful because the wires are soldered to the terminals.
You will need a good soldering iron to break them loose before you melt the battery.
I think Razor has a good product line and I am very satisfied with the MX 650!
My son has tried riding this after it rained and it doesn't ride as well as a traditional dirt bike. It gets stuck and unable to grip the ground to move. I would recommend this bike for a child who is just starting to learn to ride and is on a budget. One of the drawbacks is the weight but that is normal with any bike.
Bike is a little smaller than I thought. It will fit even a 7 year old who is really coordinated, and I’ve seen some 5 year olds who could possibly manage it. But just about right for a 9 to 11 year old. But sturdy enough, fast enough and fun enough for even an adult to ride. I’m lil over 6 ft and 220 lbs, and although I look pretty gangly riding on it, it still is very zippy and fun. And the two of them ride on it together no problem.
I would like to see a “Razor 750” or 850...something with bigger wheels and frame, speed lil faster, maybe 25mph.
Update - received the parts from razor in just about a week. Fast service. Everything works now and my kids love it. The only annoying thing is the front shoes are noisy. I plan to mod them anyways.
I would be interested in an adult model with 24/26" wheels and more power and a odometer. In the meantime, I may eventually convert my 26" mountain bike with a 1000w hub motor which gives me the advantage of pedaling up the steeper slopes.
My only issue which is significant and concerning is the shipping, ours arrived via UPS and both bikes had a rough delivery. I was missing the hardware for the number placard and there were scratches on the foot pegs and frame. I was able to use other hardware to assemble the bikes, the packaging is thick but it is a heavy and large box for UPS shipments.
Easy assembly
Nice looking
Good throttle response
Con-
I charged it the recommended time before the first use. Gave it to my son for his 8th birthday and after 15 minutes of use it just won’t move. Battery indicators say it full. Yes, I can take it apart and look at it over but just the same it didn’t last 15 minutes.
I will update after checking the connections.
Update: I troubleshooted the problem using YouTube. I had to take the seat and plastic off to get to the wire harnesses. Checked all connections and the fuse. It was a loose connection. Started right up after. But while I was in there I electrical taped all the connections to keep them secure and so that they are water tight. I also used seal tape to seal the “motor” cover to the frame to keep water from getting in this fall. Total fix time 2 hours . My son loves it and the battery time is close to an hour at full tilt. I’ll upgrade my review to four stars.
It rips with my 11 yr daughter (85 lbs). 24 mph flat paved road 15 mph in a mowed yard.
Suggest a pair of hard bar end plugs and hairspray in the hand grips. You get the plugs at a local bike shop for less than 5 bucks and the grips slide a bit on the handle bars. Quick-fix : take grips off bars, spray light amount of hairspray into the grip, slide grip back on (after installing the plugs). The grips will be more slippery (hour ish) but when that hairspray drys, they'll be stuck hard just like all those 80's bangs
My son is 7 and about 75 lbs and has no issues with the power. It did take a minute for him to learn to pick the almost 100 lb bike up on his own, but he’s a pro now.
It’s also big enough I can ride it (his almost 40 year old mom!) with no real power loss.
He did recently have an issue where the chain came off - the chain tensioner broke off the bike completely. The replacements are about $11 on Amazon, but the warranty company is sending a replacement immediately.
Front suspension is pretty bad for off road
I think the rsf is slightly better build quality and frame (and wheels for sure)
I also don’t like the handlebars I put the rsf handlebars on the mx and it’s way more comfortable for me
If you want an off-road e bike I’d recommend the new crf
I still have fun on it but I don’t take it off road which kind of defeats the purpose
Update: I bought this is 2022 and the summer of 2024, it stopped working. It looks as if it's charging, but when you go to pull the throttle back to make it go, it does nothing. Same thing happened to his friend's bike. So I advise to get the 3 yr warranty instead of the 2 year warranty
