I got a Razor MX650 about 3 years ago. At that time I thought the bike was quite fun. Now that I am more grown up, I realize that this bike is rated for “Ages 16+”. In what world is a 16 year old, or older, going to go 17 mph with a battery life of around 35-40 minutes? I would highly recommend this bike, to 8 year olds. It does have good front forks and back suspension, and 600 watts is exceptional. I would prefer they specify that in the description of the bike, they may have. I don’t read things good enough. 17 mph is a good speed for a starter bike, however, I don’t see this bike fitting 16 year olds. Today, some 16 year olds have a Stark Varg. Overall, it’s a great bike, it’s a bit overpriced, and the rating is way past what age I think would comfortably use this bike.
The battery is not very good and it does not go very fast so I recommend a new 36v lithium ion battery. Not hard to set up. But I have had this bike for atleast 4 years now and it never brakes. This thing is so beat up and still runs great but if you do go off road with it the battery life runs out fast and it’s pretty slow. Overall bike is indestructible.
