Absolutely Obsessed With It

TL;DR:
This car is amazing fun, I recommend it 100%, just not as it sits at this MSRP.

To people who are handy at fixing things: Think of it like a tiny electric drift car. Drift cars eat tires. Drift cars break down. It is a high wear item, and it's going to be driven hard. You have to understand and be ok with this.
That being said. RAZOR. I WOULD NEVER PAY MSRP FOR THIS CART AS YOU BUILD IT TODAY. Why? Because it needs to many modifications to reach it's true potential.
1) You ALREADY make and sell the "puck" caster wheels. Everyone I ride with SWEARS by those puck wheels. They last MONTHS and we ride hard and go extremely fast. (23mph+, we're very modified). So, start using those pucks as the DEFAULT caster wheel, and you'll stop getting dragged for reliability.
2) Get with the times. Go with Lithium Ion battery packs. Lead acid is dead weight, with fun killing charge time (which would be ok if they actually lasted, but it's what 30-40m tops? 20 for a standard cart?). Every single person I know with any version of crazy cart (and that's A LOT of people) runs an aftermarket Lithium battery.
3) Make the "fat tire mod" OEM on XL. I run 4 Ply mini bike tires on my XL and they last 10x longer than the standard 200x50 scooter tires. If you're absolutely determined to stick with 200x50 for handling / legacy, at least use the knobby versions, they last 3-5x longer. And use the knobbies for the standard carts as standard as well.
4) Start using rubber grommets where the motor wire passes through the front fork. Lots of carts fail when that eventually breaks or shorts out, and most people have a hard time figuring out what's wrong. The "spring" around the wire is not tough enough for the job.
4.5) If you really want to make the ultimate crazy cart, implement an infinity headset! No more damaged wires, and greater stunt possibilities.

5) Include a headset wrench with the cart! Very few people own one, but it's a must have because tightening the headset is regular maintenance.
6) The aluminum casters are junk, sorry. Everyone is going to hit a crack or something eventually. They just shatter every time. Ship XLs with the beefy steel casters you already sell. They're not bulletproof but they're way tougher than the aluminum ones.
7) Consider using XT60 connectors for the batteries. Everyone uses that connector, it makes sharing packs 1000x easier. It just becomes plug and play.
8) BIG ONE HERE: Get rid of the chain tensioners. Seriously. Build a spacer for the motor if you have to. I deleted my tensioner and my cart is SO MUCH SMOOTHER AND QUIETER now. The plastic chain guide on the main gear prevents chain drops (I've never lost the chain since I deleted the tensioner).
9) Consider using M8 bolts instead of M6 bolts to hold the drive gear onto the wheel. The M6s are so easy to strip out or break off, I have to drill and tap wheels to M8 regularly. Bonus points if you can use the same head drive head as the casters so it's one less tool to carry for repairs. Most of us do not ride at home so we have to carry our tools with us in case of a problem.
10) Ten to make this a well rounded wishlist: PAD THE SEAT, PLEASE WE'RE BEGGING YOU. OR AT LEAST SELL A PADDED OPTION!
I love this cart so much and I'll never sell it, but before my durability modifications I spent more time fixing than I did riding it. People like me will never pay MSRP for these carts unless they're built to better standards. Until then, we just buy them cheap from people who are tired of the breakdowns and then fix them up to our standards.
The popularity of these carts has skyrocketed in just a few months. I ride with dozens of people and we have new cart owners every week. Built it better so we can justify buying new!

Terrible Wheel Design
on August 3, 2020

Verified Purchase:No
My son has a blast on his Crazy Cart Xl however after 2-4 charges the wheels are worn flat and we are buying a new set. We spend as much on wheels as we did for the cart. My son is only 80lbs, I would hate to see a larger person use it. VERY FRUSTRATING
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Poor tire design

If I was eating solely on fun I would give it a 5. We bought the crazy cart for my son and crazy cart XL for myself and we love them. The problem is they go through tires like CRAZY.... I have tried solid tires thinking they would last longer but you just wear them flat to the dimensions of the sproket.. (3 charges) another poor design especially since it is almost diameter of tire. To give this product a 5 they need to design/provide tires that last months, not days. Because of expense of tires you can plan to spend more money on tires than the scooters themselves

Wheels Don’t Last 1 Ride!
on July 31, 2022

from San Antonio, TX
We have had other Razor products with success so we splurged on the Crazy Cart XL. It’s been a total disappointment. The wheels much be changed out after each ride which is ridiculous and at this price OUTRAGEOUS. Do NOT buy this go cart. Te kids are constantly disappointed and I’m constantly trying to get them working,
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Drift Like the Pros
on June 9, 2022
Posted by: TB
from Santa Monica
Writing this as a counter argument to the people talking about the poor quality and design of the wheels, front and rear. If you don't use the drift bar, you will SHRED the tires. If you are sliding on a rough surface with cracks, rocks, potholes etc., you will SHRED the tires. Smooth pavement and manipulation of the drift bar to initiate and extend turning, sliding, spinning, going in reverse, etc is going to give you a much longer tire life. And always keep your front tire inflated to the right PSI (especially right out of the box) and check it regularly. People tend to hop on and start yanking, driving into curbs and over debris, and not using the drift bar, which puts a ton of shearing, lateral pressure on the wheels-- the key is finesse! And then you'll be smoothly sliding and properly drifting like the pros...
