Razor MX650 Dirt Rocket Electric Motocross Bike Review



The Razor MX650 Dirt Rocket is not a mere kids dirt bike as it is touted out to be. It is more than a replacement bike for costlier gas powered dirt bikes. It is the latest in technology, the answer to all those who say that electric powered vehicles cannot match up to the power and performance of gas powered vehicles.

Age Limitation

The Razor MX650 dirt bike comes with a safety limitation of 15 years and above but this is only because the company has to adhere to national safety requirements. The dirt bike can in fact be used by kids from the age of 8 years and above. Furthermore, it can easily take the weight of a full grown adult and yet hit its high speed.

Performance

With a massive 650-watt electric motor drawing energy from two massive lead acid accumulators, the dirt bike can power down straight roads at speeds of 17 to 20 miles an hour. This is quite fast considering its target age group of 15 years. Not only is the bike fast but also a charming experience with dual front and back brakes, full suspensions and a variable clutch throttle response system that increases or decreases the speed with a tiny twist of the throttle. The bike even comes with large comfortable tires with a rugged off terrain finish to ensure that it performs as dirt bikes for kids should on dirt tracks.

Battery Power

Two large lead acid batteries provide ample charge to the massive 650-watt motor allowing a kid to drive it around for at least 45 minutes before it runs out of charge. The massive batteries take no more than 8 hours to charge and can be replaced later when they wear out. Because of the electric nature of the bike, it does not create any noise unlike its gas chugging counterparts.

Durability

Each part on this particular model of Razor is tested to the limit to ensure its long life. Unlike the previous two smaller variants of Razor, the MX650 comes with sturdier plastics and metal works. Moreover, a tougher suspension system ensures that the maximum weight that the bike can take is 220 pounds. Foot pegs made from highly durable metal ensure that the bike does not touch the surface even in major crashes ,which by the way are almost impossible considering the speed restrictions on the device.

Looks

Not only does the Razor MX650 outperform other electric dirt bikes for kids but also looks better than most. Being a scaled down version of the real thing, the Razor MX650 is a treat to the eye with racing decals and numbers emblazoned along its sides. When your kid rides down the neighbourhood on this tiny beast, he is sure to have heads turning at his wake.

Reviews On Razor MX650

For those in search of a bike that can suit smaller children, the Razor MX350 and Razor MX500 are ideal. The Razor MX650 is closer to the height and weight of an actual gas powered dirt bike and therefore not all kids below the age of 10 can use it. Even then there are reviewers who have said that small children have had no issues with this particular model.
“This is a great bike. My 11 year old son loves this bike and rides it almost everyday. The bike has a tremendous amount of power… (read more here: Razor MX650 Dirt Rocket Electric Motocross Bike Reviews)”
“My kids has rode this bike non stop since the day it arrived!!! I had to install the handle bars and front tire, i also checked over all nuts and bolts… (read more here: Razor MX650 Dirt Rocket Electric Motocross Bike Reviews)”
There are many reviews on the MX650 that give it a bad name on Amazon. However, speaking from personal experience, a few precautions can be taken to ensure that some of the issues suggested on Amazon never occur. For instance, the thing about batteries going dead occurs because the battery is a lead acid type accumulator. These batteries have to be continuously charged and if they are left uncharged for too long then the simply run out of life completely. The other issue is with the rear wheel assembly that seems to break off with many users. This may sound like a grievous problem but it mostly occurs because of faulty assembly. I did not face any such issues with mine after I made sure that the back assembly is fixed tightly into place while assembly. It has now been over weeks and I have yet to see the backside coming off as reported by a few Amazon users.

The rave reviews for the Razor MX650 give it a good thumbs up for performance and safety. In fact, some users have touted it as a great replacement bike for parents who are jittery of gifting a gas powered dirt bike to their children. With just 17 miles as top speed there is not much trouble that kids can get themselves into. When I personally drove my kid’s Razor MX650 after assembling it, I was amazed at just how rigid the construction was and how smoothly the motor pulled my weigh along. There should be no doubt in the minds of any buyer as to the safety and the sturdiness of this bike as it is one solid replacement for dirt bikes.
