Get your kids the perfect gift for all occasion with the Razor MX650 Dirt Rocket. The Razor MX650 Dirt Rocket is no mere toy bike, it an electric motocross bike; only, it is a scaled down motocross dirt bike that rides like the real thing. It’s recommended for teens above the age of 15, but can also be ridden by kids and pre-teens still in the middle of their growth spurt.
Powerful Motor
The Razor MX650 Dirt Rocket comes outfitted with a powerful 650 watt motor (chain-driven) with automatic adjuster for powerful yet surprisingly quiet operation. It can generate enough torque for uphill and off-road conditions and can take the rider up to speeds of 17 to 20 miles per hour, even through rough dirt trails.
Electric Engine With All the Works
The Dirt Rocket has two 12v (24v) sealed lead acid batteries system and it can cover up to ten miles on one charge alone. Running time may take 45 minutes up to an hour; it depends on the rider’s weight and the terrain features. Battery charging time will take around 6 to 8 hours, though you will need to charge it for 12 hours for the first time, as per the manual instructions.
Tough Bike
The MX650 Dirt Rocket has as very durable frame and shatter resistant fairings and fenders of made out of plastic that can take a few beatings and still keep on kicking. It’s large 16 inch and 14 inch pneumatic rugged tires are built for navigating the dirt road and other rough terrain features, while the metal foot pegs (foldable) make sure that the young rider doesn’t just throw the bike anywhere on the ground after use. Though the bike is recommended for ages 16 and up, any adult-sized rider can still feel at home in its motorcycle frame (seat height is 25”), and can carry any rider up to 220lbs.
Easy Rider
The bike’s authentic dirt bike frame design gives it that classic dirt bike feel and look, but it’s also designed to give as smooth a ride as possible. Its pneumatic knobby tires (front one measures 16 inches and the one at the back measures 14 inches, as well as its dual suspension and riser handlebars that are adjustable make for an ride whether on the pavement or off it. The rear adjustable suspension and the front inverted genuine motocross suspension fork will help you navigate the terrain with smooth efficiency, and the manual front and rear disc brakes makes sure that the riding experience is as safe as it is smooth.
No Sticky
The decals on the bike will peel off eventually, and will usually peel off more easily in with vigorous use. The bike is just as snazzy looking without it though that you won’t need stickers at all to enhance its aesthetics. Still, you could still opt to have a more artistically inclined friend to paint brush some funky art features if that’s your thing.

“Bought this Razor to replace a smaller one that was puchased two years prior. The smaller one outlasted my son’s constant riding and jumping. Very pleased with the new arrival. It’s fast, quiet, and is certainly standing up to the beating it’s taking!”

The Razor MX650 Dirt Rocket is a step up from the ol’ gas powered motorcycles of yore. Not only will you not be emitting gas fumes, you will also significantly cut down on noise. Your neighbors won’t even know that your kid (or you, for that matter) could be cruising around the neighborhood block, in a dirt bike no less. Definitely a good buy for anyone, and not just for your pre-teens. It comes with a 90 day warranty as well as a UL approved battery charger.
