Razor MX500 Dirt Rocket Bike Electric Ride-On for Teens Ages 14+, 175 Pounds Max Weight, Red – 36-Volt Battery, up to 15 Mph, 40-Minute Run Time, Twist-Grip Throttle, Pneumatic Tires

Powerful, Quiet, and Surprisingly Durable — Perfect for Off-Road Fun As someone who enjoys outdoor rides but wanted something electric and compact for my daughter, the Razor MX500 Red Dirt Rocket has exceeded expectations. It delivers impressive power, quiet operation, and just enough edge to make you forget it’s not gas-powered. ⚙️ Performance & Speed Don’t let the "youth" label fool you — this bike packs a punch. It easily handles gravel, dirt, and small hills, and the chain-driven motor with high torque gives it real muscle. I clocked top speeds close to 15–17 mph, which feels fast when you’re riding something this nimble. 🔋 Battery Life On a full charge, I get around 35–40 minutes of continuous use, depending on terrain and rider weight. It takes about 8–10 hours to recharge fully, so I usually plug it in overnight. 🛠 Build Quality This isn’t a toy — the steel frame, dual suspension, and large pneumatic knobby tires make it feel like a real dirt bike. It’s stable, well-balanced, and absorbs bumps smoothly. The front and rear disc brakes also work great and give you solid stopping control. 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Who It's For Though marketed for teens, it comfortably supports up to 175 lbs. I’d say it’s best for: Teenagers 13+ who are responsible riders Adults under 170 lbs looking for funl off-road ride Beginners wanting an intro to dirt biking without gas or noise 👍 Pros Surprisingly powerful motor Smooth ride with good suspension Durable and well-constructed Quiet and environmentally friendly Great value for the price 👎 Cons Long charge time No headlight or reflectors (consider mods for visibility) Slightly small for taller adults 📦 Final Verdict The Razor MX500 is an outstanding entry-level electric dirt bike for anyone wanting thrills without fumes. It’s well-built, performs reliably, and offers just enough punch to feel exciting. Highly recommended for teens or lightweight adults looking to tear up the trails in silence.

An excellent first dirtbike. Get this one. Pretty much any kid can hop on this and have a good time. I reccomend it for the five or six year old to nine or so age group. The box says like 12 or 14, but thats just a big responsible company covering their arses. Its a great learner, because its just twist and go. All hand brakes, no foot controls, which is good when learning because your feet arent always on the pegs. It's a proportional bike for kids so its not awkward or clumsy it fits them right. Dont get any smaller razor dbike, they dont have suspension. This one is very much like a real bike, suspension, handling, disc brakes, etc. Electric, but power ramps up so you cant do a wheelie. Because its electric, it is a little heavy, but that keeps them from getting too much air as well. Hundreds of hours of fun, and zero injuries. If you crash in the grass, you weren't going real fast, and are pretty close to the ground, so it dont hurt much. Rated up to like 175 pounds (again i recommend it for the 45-90 pound kid range) but ive hopped on it (210#) to put it away, and theres no problems. Batterys are standard lead-acid closed cell, so they are safe and reliable. The charge only lasts a half hour or so which is the only downside really.

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!

I ordered this for my 6 yr old son. He is tall for his age - wears size 8-10. I wouldn't recommend it for an average size 6-7 yr old - the MX350 is more suitable. It needed minor assembly which required the help of a neighbor - 2 women - to assemble. 1 man can probably do it. The only problems I have is that some of the stickers were loose as if worn/used and the throttle grip looked dingy as if used (sold as NEW). The other problem is that after 20 mins of riding it would intermittently shut down. Razor repair center told me sounded like a bad connection or short. The problem presented itself a few more times, but quit happening prior to me getting it to the repair (they charge $25 just to analyze the problem). The battery holds it charge very well - 40-45 mins of constant riding. I suggest the full face helmet. The neighbor has the 350 & rides with a bike helmet & no knee & elbow pads. He has been scraped and bruised on the pavement quite badly in some of his crashes. It is worth the extra $ to get the helmet & pads. My son gets his homework done immediately upon getting home from school just so he can go out and ride his dirt bike.

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.

Easy to out together.

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.

fast and the product came undamaged

Great starter bike for kids

Stacked

I ordered two of these bikes for my grandkids age 8 and 10. They love them! Unfortunately something in the rear wheel wasn't right, but the customer service was great and new parts are on the way. Once that's fixed the kids can do some more riding. Note that although they're electric they aren't toys. It can get fairly fast so helmets and gear are a must.

A great little machine to learn on. Fits my 8 yr old perfectly. Have been getting about 40-45 mins run time on flat trail. Front brakes failed after 2-3 hours of use. Front suspension design is horrible-- knocks and rattles like its missing a lower bushing. In hindsight I wish I had spent $500 more for a real mini bike = much more enjoyment at the cottage.
