Razor MX500 Red Dirt Rocket High-Torque Electric Motorcycle Dirt Bike for Adult

Arrived quick easy to put together my 10yr old could not wait till I got home and put it together on his own

I bought two of these at the same time for my 10 year old and 11 year old sons. They are small for their age, but the bikes are definitely not too large. The funny thing is that the bikes also didn't seem too small when I couldn't resist and took one for a spin in the backyard. I'm 135lbs and 5'9" tall and the bike handled me just fine. My sons love these bikes. Everyday when they get home from school they ride around our backyard until the battery indicator turns yellow (about 40 minutes). So far, they have recharged them overnight after each use, but the charger light turns green much sooner than the 12 hour recommended charge time. The bikes are heavy and very sturdy. My kids love running them up and down the small hills and dips and bumps in our 2 acre yard. They go about as fast as a vigorously pedaled bicycle, so I think the 15 mph top speed is about right. When I first opened the boxes and looked at the instructions, I groaned at the 30 minute estimated time to assemble, but it actually went very fast. All you have to do is attach the front fender, the handle bars and the front wheel. It was very easy, much to my relief. Overall I am very satisfied with this purchase.

I waited to do a review. We purchased in December as a gift for our son- it is almost May and this has been a great purchase. He truly enjoys this bike. His friends and cousins love it too! We have had a great experience.

Bought for my soon to be 7 year old for Christmas 2014. This arrived very quickly and was a breeze to assemble. Per the instructions I charged over night and then tried it out myself to make sure there was no issues with "Santa's toy". I'm 200 pounds and it carried me fine for the short time I rode it. I was more concerned about the brakes working properly, and the disc brakes front and rear do just fine. I then hid it and let it charge till Christmas day. When my son saw it, he flipped out and was so happy. I also looked at the Honda CRF50 but this bike was $350, the Honda was $1100! I figured let's see how his skills develop before buying hi a gas powered bike. My son took to it just fine and I predict this MX 500 filling the gap between a real gas bike for the next 1-2 years. I plan to skip the CRF50 and go straight to the CRF 70 in a couple years.This MX500 is very solid and so far has been rode several hours with no problems. By the time the battery indicates low on the handle bar monitor, my son is ready for a break. It charges back to full charge in a couple hours and off he goes again. I'd recommend this to anyone wanting to expose their child to two wheels without the gas motor investment. I really believe it'll bridge the gap between the intimidation of a gas bike and make it less scary once the child switches to gas. Love it. Nothing but good things to say so far... ST in NC.

My son received the 500 for christmas 2010 within 2 weeks the plastic chain guide cracked which holds the chain in place. Once cracked the chain falls off. I called and I have to say customer service is very good and they sent me out a new part ASAP. With the winter we had in the northeast he did not get much a chance to ride it much but with maybe a total of 5 hours on the bike the rear wheel and the chain would not connect to turn rear wheel, chain would spin freely around wheel. I looked up trouble shooting on line and it tells me the entire wheel at 60.00 plus shipping needs to be replaced. You cant just buy the part you need to buy the wheel, tire, and sprocket which is the problem. Again I called and because its within 90 days they sent it out to me no problem.It makes me wonder now whats next and now the 90 days are expired. I would think parts would wear with some good hours on the bike. He rides it on the street mostly. Though when it gets a little wet the motor stops working all together till it drys out. Not much of a dirt bike. But that can be corrected by some dw40 to displace the water.I am updating as of May 18, 2011 I am on my 4th rear wheel that the factory sent me. They last a few weeks then the bearing and clutch inside wheel has failed. I have to think they got a bunch of bad manufactured rear wheels. Customer service has been very responding and send the parts out at no cost but man its down more then my son uses it and I have to wonder when Razor will say to bad out of warentee no more parts. I wish the bike would work and keep working. My sons 90 lbs and he does not ride it hard.I believe the bikes are designed to run and then you need to order parts from Razor. The initial price for what you get is reasonable but they make it up on parts. But maybe its just been a bad start on my unit and this will run problem free for awhile. Personally if the wheel was not covered before I shelled out 100.00 I would have spot welded the wheel to the chain sprocket and fixed the problem for good. But let me see, maybe its just been bad luck. Like I said they do honor the warentee no problem and the people who answer the phones are very well trained on the product and try hard to speak clearly. Where they are located my guess China like everything else in manufacturing these days, but thats why its only 350 for the bike new.Final I hope last update to this review. After going through 4 bad wheel sprockets now receiving 5th rear wheel that razor has sent me no charge the last time I called in August 2011 I talked with supervisor who called me back twice and informed me that they had a bad run of rear wheel sprockets that did not hold up and this was off new batch of replacments the have now started receiving. So this last wheel I received had a different outside patters at the hub assembly on the outside then all the others if it is indeed a new setup to adress sprockets not turning wheels. I have had the same issue with this bike others have had. I will see if they corrected the problem. If not I will demand a full refund or new bike. Crazy anyone should have to deal with this.I will say as annoying this issue has been I have had no problems with razor standing behind it as I bought this back in December for Christmas 2010 and they continue to work with me sending 2nd day shipping them paying for it all. I will report back as to if this finally ends this problem.Dec 25 2011 all issues and problems I had with wheels have been resoved. Razor 4 months ago sent me new desiged wheel and its been working fine no problems at all, also the chain stays on with new wheel. I guess when wheel would hangup the chain would pop off all the time untill the wheel finally broke within a few weeks. Not anymore with new wheel designs. Razor stuck with me and did all you would hope from a company till they fix it and as you can read they stood behind their product.....It was annoying to go through but in th end a year later I am happy with bike.

Bike arrived as expected in a box and was very heavy. Only had to assemble the front number plate, handle bars and front wheel. This was easy and took ten minutes with the proper tools. I charged it for 12 hours as recommended and my son received it the next morning for his 7yr birthday. He is 4'6" and it is perfect size for him. Can't say enough about the quality and solid construction of this bike and it is plenty fast. He rode it for several days in a row, charges it after every ride and it hasn't died on him yet. Super fun and definitely would buy again.
