Essentially a scaled-down motocross bike with an electric motor, the Razor MX500 Dirt Rocket is ideal for teens who want to enjoy the dirt bike experience without breaking the bank. The Dirt Rocket's powerful 500-watt motor carries riders at speeds of up to 17 miles per hour--more than enough for most bumpy dirt trails--and can cruise for up to 10 miles on a single charge. At the same time, the bike's dual suspension and riser handlebars deliver a smooth and comfortable ride regardless of the terrain, so your teen's 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 large pneumatic knobby tires for a maximum power transfer, authentic dirt bike frame geometry, a retractable kickstand, and a double-crown fork. The MX500, which requires roughly eight hours to fully charge, is recommended for ages 14 and over and offers a maximum weight limit of 175 pounds. It's also backed by a 90-day warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars SOOOO HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! March 27, 2006

A Kid's Review

Durability: 4.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 4.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

Ok here we go. I wrote that review on the Honda Minimoto Dirtbike.I said how it was not good and how I purchased the Go Kart and the Maxxi and they also had problems. Read that review, the title is "TRUST ME READ THIS". I said to myself you know what im going buy the Razor MX500 Dirt Bike. WOW WHAT A GREAT BUY!!!!!! This thing is durable, safe, and fun. I recommend it for ages 8-15 years old. However there are reviews for other razor products about the battery life. Yes the battery life is not good, IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW DIRECTIONS. I followed the directions and my MX500's battery is fantastic. To have a good motor and battery follow these easy steps...

1. Take MX500 out of box CAREFULLY!

2. Assemble in order of the directions (If you follow them it will be assembled in 20 minutes).

3. Turn MX500 on and JUST FOR ONE SECOND TWIST THE THROTTLE just to make sure it works. (Do not ride just a flick of the throttle just to check).

4. Charge the MX500 overnight or for 12 or more hours (The key is to charge it for 12+ hours)

5. Take the charger out and go ride

If you follow these directions given your MX500 will be perfect.

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT VALUE and FUN! April 25, 2010

By Sl Judge VINE™ VOICE

We have owned the Razor MX500 Dirt Rocket Electric Motocross Bike since February, 2010. It is used EVERY single day by my 55lb 11 year old. He loves it. The kids in the neighborhood love it. We have not had a problem with the battery life at all, but my son takes really good care of it and followed the directions exactly. Also, I might add, this is NOT difficult to assemble at all. The majority of it is assembled already. My 11 year old assembled it by himself!!! All we had to do was come in when he was done and tighten up the bolts. The one thing that I love about this "dirt bike" is that it is so quiet. Even though he is riding on an acre of property, we don't annoy the neighbors when he gets near their homes. It doesn't eat up the grass either!!
This is definitly a great product!

Update 10/2010: Our Razor dirt bike is still going strong and gets ridden EVERY single day! Just wanted to update my review now that more time has elapsed!

5.0 out of 5 stars MX500 Dirt Bike September 9, 2007

By W. Currier

I ordered this bike for my daughter (age 10) and she loves it. The bike arrived on time and the package was slightly damaged, but the bike was in perfect shape. One nut was missing, which I replaced. She has ridden it everday for the last few weeks and she enjoys it very much. I would recommend this bike.

A Kid's Review

My friend has it. A couple days ago i went to his house and tried it out. 3 words: IT WAS GREAT!!!! It's very smooth and silent, but a VERY good speed. (18 mph) It's very good for offroad but I wouldn't recommend riding it on mud or other slippery stuff, 'cause it might fall on your leg and it wieghs a lot! But here's how I rate it:

Fun: **************************

Toughness:***************

Fun:********************************

Fun:************************************

I also think it's good for younger kids to because my 9 year-old bro rode it too without a problem. It's really easy to control. Hope this info helped ya!

5.0 out of 5 stars It's the Bomb!! June 28, 2006

By Maasie

We purchased this electric dirt bike for our son's 13th birthday and it has been a big hit! The bike weighs about 105 lbs. so the most difficult part was getting it out of the box for me to do the minor assembly. Parents don't have to worry that their kids won't get exercise because they have ditched their bicycles because it only runs 45-60 minutes on a charge and takes at least 4 hours to recharge. This doesn't bother my son or his friends as the 45 minutes seems to be enough time to have fun before they are off to something else. I would highly recommend this for a 13 year old that is stuck between the "toy" age and the teen "clothing" age. In two more years he will be in drivers education so we felt this would teach him some of those basic skills of driving.

5.0 out of 5 stars My 9yo son LOVES this thing July 4, 2007

By Jared

First of all, get the full face helmet to go with it.
My son, Cade has ridden this thing every day since his birthday 2 months ago. Although their lawyers have rated this thing for 14 and older.. no 14 year old is gonna ride this thing. It is definitely for younger kids. It looks just like a little 50cc motorcycle and goes well on pavement and grass. It will go 18-20mph with my son on it. The battery life seems very adequate.
The knobby tires are great. They look like motorcycle tires.
Assembly was quite easy. It is mostly assembled. I just had to pop on the front wheel and a couple more simple things.
On ours, we couldn't get the front brakes to work. His back brakes stopped him just fine. I called the company and they sent me a new front brake assembly no hassle.
My son rides this daily and he lets his friends ride it. I have ridden it and I weigh nearly 200 pounds. It seems to hold up well. If it dies by the end of the summer. I will still consider it a great buy. He has thoroughly enjoyed it. Two hundred fifty bucks on Amazon with no shipping.
I will update on how this thing holds up this summer. Your kid will love this thing. Just keep an eye on them, 18 to 20 mph can cause a pretty good crash. Do NOT let them ride without a helmet!
