Razor MX400 Dirt Rocket Electric Motocross Bike Review

Razor MX400 Dirt Rocket Electric Motocross Bike
Average Reviews:

You would expect the MX400 to be an improvement over the MX350 but having seen my son on both it was clear the old MX350 had a much better design.
The biggest problem with the new bike is that the front and rear suspensions have now been removed and the frame is rigid. So unless your child is only riding on the street, it's a very harsh ride to say the least. You can air down the tire to give you a little more chushion but it's a poor compromise.
The second problem is that the twist throttle is no longer variable speed. The throttle is now a twist version of a light switch. Again this provides very jerky movement of the bike and detracts from the fun a child has while using it.
My recommendation is to buy an older MX350 (if you can find one) or to move up to the MX500 until Razor get these items changed on their latest design. C'mon Razor, I know you can do better than this.

Cruzin Cooler 50-Series Coolagon Cooler Wagon/Trailer Review

This is the best gift I could have gotten for my husband. With his recent surgeries he wasn't able to go fishing, until the Cruzin Cooler was delivered. He immediately decided he needed the "trailer" to haul the extras needed for fishin' on the bridge. Everyone there now wants to know how to get one of these. Thank you so much, made his day.

Razor Ground Force Electric Go-Kart Review

I had a Power Wheels toy for my girls when they were 2 and 4. Now that my son was turning 4, I didn't want him driving around in a pink Barbie Jeep.
I went and bought the Ground Force but it is significantly faster - the Power Wheels tops out at 5mph (but also allows you to lock the speed to a max of 2.5mph), whereas the Ground Force has a max speed of 12mph.
I must say though, that I (a 40 year old man who weighs 165 pounds) LOVE this thing...It was fast, nimble and my neighbors got used to seeing me drive around the neighborhood. But, ahem, where was I? Oh yes, back to the kids.
My 6 and 9 year old daughters love this car since it is significantly faster than their old Power Wheel car. I was even able to take my 6 year old out with it when I went roller blading and she was able to keep up with me and then some (we went out for about an hour (so figure we went about 8-10 miles since we weren't going the full hour.
That being said, it is way too fast for my 4 year old...and even my 6 year old who knows how to drive was doing a series of figure 8's in the street at max speed and loving it...when she lost control and ran full speed into the curb...she was NOT a happy camper, although she wasn't seriously hurt.
The car does sit low though...so if a child were to run under an SUV...there is a very real chance the child could be seriously hurt though because their face would smack into the bumper...so PLEASE be mindful.
I allowed our friend's daughter who was 5 to drive the car in an very open field and she loved it...but ended up losing control as well and running into a play structure. She hurt hurt herself and broke the seatbelt because she panicked and went full speed into the structure...she wasn't seriously hurt...but I have definitely re-thought my stance about letting ANY child under 8 or 9 drive the cart by themselves.
Because there is no way to lock out the max speed...the children should be very carefully supervised. I do drive my 4 year old in my lap (and even drove him to pre-school one day in the morning (which he loved btw). Of course, I did look a bit stupid driving home in this go kart in the morning near the school...but my son was VERY excited! ;)
Please please be careful with this car with young children.

The Go-Ped Story Beginning in 1985, Steve Patmont, his wife Hannelore, and two sons Gabe and Tim launched Patmont Motor Werks, creators of the Go-Ped Brand of original folding motorized scooters. They began by building Go-Peds in their Pleasanton California garage for friends and family that just had to have one and it blossomed from there. Knowing the market opportunities were endless for their fun and safe, carefree design, the Patmont family secured a patent and began shopping their invention around to purveyors of yachts and personal aircraft as a light and portable alternative transportation device to extend transportation choices for various commuting and recreation uses.
The Patmont family introduced the patented Cantilevered Independent Dynamic Linkless Indispension (C.I.D.L.I.) in 2005. This revolutionary yet simple and extremely effective suspension system redefined the portable transportation market once again. Off-road enthusiasts and those simply wishing for a more comfortable ride can also experience the amazing benefits of these practical and portable Gopeds.
Today Patmont Motor Werks is the world leader in personal transportation and proudly produces the world's finest portable transportation devices out of it's "enlarged garage," a 70,000 square foot state-of-the-art production facility in Minden, Nevada. The Patmont family has kept PMW strong by constantly innovating new and improved products. In addition to an excellent selection of scooters and carts, the introduction of the ESR750 pure electric GoPed scooter line in 2003 offers a zero emission, environmentally-friendly transportation device for those wishing to reduce climate change, their carbon footprint, beat the rising prices of fossil fuel, and foreign oil dependence.

Razor Ground Force Drifter Kart Review

Razor Ground Force Drifter Kart
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I just got this for my kids, who are 5, 7, and 14. They love it! The 180 degree turns are fun, but it can also be controlled at slower speeds. My 5 year old isn't ready to go all out yet, and he uses the throttle lightly for a slower ride. It seems very safe as long as it's used away from traffic and obstacles. Definitely for paved areas, not grass.
Charge time is 12 hours, so it can only be used once a day in general. It was 40 degrees F today (about 4 degrees C) and we had it out for an hour. With downtime for changing riders, I'm guessing it lasted for about 40 minutes of ride time. Maybe it'll last longer in warmer weather.
It went noticeably slower with the 140 lb. 14 year old riding, but was still fun for him. Razor tends to give age recommendations that seem high. This is probably good for ages 5 - 12. Teens will want something more powerful.

From fun zones to pro tracks, go-kart racing is a stable of American entertainment. Now you can bring the fun home with you like never before with the Ground Force Drifter kart. Based on the original Ground Force, the Drifter offers such features as low-profile cast-aluminum wheels, a sturdy steel frame, and an upgraded rear axle for increased maneuverability. The kart's variable-speed, chain-driven motor, meanwhile, travels at speeds of up to 12 miles per hour, making the Drifter a force to be reckoned with.
The features that really set the Drifter apart, however, are the race-tuned chassis and super-slick rear wheels, which let you power slide through corners, throw fish tales, or perform fast 180s. Add in a thumb-trigger acceleration control and hand-operated rear brake and you're ready for a serious go-kart adventure. Other features include a pair of 12-volt batteries, which deliver approximately 45 minutes of drive time per charge; molded aluminum wheels and solid rubber tires; such safety features as a safety flag and durable bucket seat with a shoulder strap; and all the necessary tools for assembly.
The Ground Force Drifter supports drivers weighing up to 140 pounds and is backed by a 90-day warranty. It is designed for controlled environments free of potential traffic hazards and not public streets.
