starsEXCELLENT ITEM
My two sons, 6 and 8 absolutely love this go-cart. They ride it almost everyday. It is easy for them to handle, goes just fast enought to be exciting, and last for a long time. I would definitely recommend this go-gart!!!!!!!! It is also easy to assemble


starsRazor Ground Force Rules !
This is a great toy kart for kids ! We found a vacant parking garage and my son can drive as long as he wants. It's last about one hour per charge , but, he usually tires out before that.The kart is good for training kids for future gas kart racing. Is fast enough for them to experience the fun of speed, but not too fast that they can get hurt badly. There seemd to be two types out there though. One is belt driven one is chain. I'm not sure but I think the chain driven one is better. The belt one may have been breaking too many belts so they went to a chian setup...Not sure though, the reason for the two types.


starsGreat product!
I have bought two of these for mine 9 years. They love! We have not had problems at all with neanche of they. After it I debit 2 hours work for over an hour. Happy with my purchase.


starsExcellent option to a Power wheels vehicle!
This shaver goes Kart is the perfect option to the feeding small wheels guides over because it is not of plastic and it does not go until 15 mph and the chargeable king battery is excellent. That is my before, however my friends have 2 of whom they are more than year. Both grip loads completes and is guides to you from boys 11


starsGreat product . . . so far
I purchased the Razor Ground Force as a Christas gift for my girlfriend's two boys, ages 7 & 9. They have been absolutely loving it, (and have named it Herbie)! It has plenty of pep and has been running for about an hour on a full charge. We're hoping that run time continues after more battery use. It's been taking around four hours to recharge the battery, which is better than the six hours predicted in the literature. I had read reviews that said the steering was stripping on earlier models. It's apparent that Razor has remedied this problem by redesigning the steering assembly. I don't think it'd be possible for the newly designed steering to strip. We have noticed that the right rear tire (on the drive wheel) has been wearing down fairly rapidly. But (and this is key) ordering replacement parts from Razor's Web siteRazor Ground Force Electric Go-Kart seems very simple and affordable. A new wheel is $16. The unit is quite compact but not particularly uncomfortable for even a ... ehem ... 40-year-old to ride. It fits easily in the back of my girlfriend's Subaru Wagon (even sideways) for convenient transport to a safe parking lot/race track. At this moment, I can highly recommend the Razor Ground Force!


starsRazor Ground Force Electric Go-Kart
I am sad to say that I am not very happy with this item. It is built well and looks nice, but it will not hold a charge for more than 15 minutes. My son was so happy to get the go-cart on Christmas morning...only to be disappointed every time he tries to take it for a ride. We have the razor pocket rocket for our older son and it is wonderful. The charge lasts a few hours - a much better buy!!!


starsdisappointed mom



starsKids too big for a jeep will love this!
My son nearly eight years was elemosinando Saint for portargli one jeep electrical worker for Been born them. After the hours of search still I could not justify to buy that one for a child its due age the format and the speed. It is concluded me on the purchase that the shaver electrical worker Goes - Kart preferibilmente and was the perfect choice. He says old 10 years and he increases, but he handles it perfectly. He has the possibility to go 12 mph and must be used in one limited zone of traffic. Moreover I have bought the full helmet of correspondence of the face, that it was large pure. Saint has made an enormous blow with this!


starsGreat go-cart!
My loves of 6 years it. He is large! I would not obtain it for the older kidskin... poichè is enough small.


starsGreat go kart - has held up very well for us
It has bought this go kart nearly 1 year makes for last NATO them. My sons have guided the daylights from this go kart, really a sure hard use. He is supported well and continuous to being a blow. The articles of maintenance of the braces are demands, especially if your kidskin turn hard or sbucciano outside on the kart of and. The rubbers will carry outside, but they are easy to buy (ebay) and to replace (if I can make it, anyone latta). To moreover others from 2 parents are felt me who make this to go - kart same that the drive chain can be broken off, but he is moreover repairable. Just like a normal automobile, there will be a sure periodic maintenance especially if your kidskin guide it hard like the mine. But the kart of and he really has exeeded my expectations and the fact that hour is calm flight around to cul-de-sac the 1 year more subsequently, after that all the hard use, means that definitively we have obtained our value of the moneies from it. The good ones kart, would suggest.


starsAwesome kart, but get extra chains
I have bought this for mine 7 and 9 years and love it. It is peppy for the price and it even holds the mom from the 125 pounds with the sister of 3 years (even if we are cramped). Since it is therefore low to the earth, we have passed through 2 chains (comes with a supplement), pricipalmente because of one irregular private road. If the superficial guided ones on the flat ones, you would not have this problem. We have had to replace the module of control $18,00 that was not too much difficult for my excellent practical husband (a tester of volt and some tools have made the job). Definitively I would buy still this. You cannot strike the price for a kart of and.


starsFun Go Kart for kids
I got this Go Kart for my son's 12th birthday. It looks small. He likes it! He says, "Mom it is fast, thank you for the present!" I looked all over for a go kart for my son that wasn't too small or too big for him. It doesn't back up and makes wide turns, but he is getting use to it now. He doesn't like to wait for it to charging the battery. He rides it quite awhile before the battery goes down. His dad even rode it and he loves it too!He said"They never had something like this when I was a kid." I highly recomend this go kart!


starsPretty good product for the money
I have bought this for my son of 8 years for its birthday. It loves and so as to make all kidskin of the vicinity. It is worthy the moneies but I am not previewing them to the last one too much along without some added expenses. The rubbers are carrying enough quickly outside. We have not had some problems with the battery still. It seems to make to work a much time. The direction is not large but once that you obtain used to it, it is very well. I love that the center of gravity for this goes - kart is therefore low and heavy. My son goes enough fast and no small wheel has never left the earth on a turn. In a generalized manner, it is a good graceful product for the moneies.


starsGreat go-kart
My son of 9 years has saved on its own moneies in order to buy this goes - kart. Up to now he loves them. I have had a friend who has bought a different shaver goes - kart and have had problems to load the battery. We have not had some problems with that one at all. All it has worked large, it is sturdy and it was easy to join. My son uses it nearly every day.


starsRazor Ground Force Electric Go-Kart
I have bought this for my daughter of 8 years and it loves it. Electrical worker goes good for a Kart. One what that I do not appreciate is the direction has game in the small wheel and has a spin beam much large one when it goes slow, except that one is large a small Kart.


starsFantastic little go-cart
We are a lot pleased with this product. We have bought for ours 7 years and is avendogli therefore much divertimento with. It was easy to mount and it seems to be quality much high one. You notice I pray that definitively wished to always watch your child. The undercarriage of and is much bottom to the earth so as to it could not be easy affinchè the automobiles sees it. It comes with a small flag but the shaver must render the small flag the much longest one - high says 8 feet.


starsGreat toy for the kids
I bought this item 4 weeks ago for my 11 year old, and he loves it, all his friends ride it ranging from 80lbs to 125lbs and they get good speed out of it. rated at 12 mph and it seems to do that. I rode it 210lbs, and it's slower but still no problem.

it looks really small when you get it out of the box, but once you put your feet on the front rail, it's not that small. Its very low to the ground, so you have to have the flag on. but you can't turn it over, so much safer than the ATV's. i bought a second one for our 6 year old last week, and it works great again.


starsTotal Hit with the kids
My son got this when he was seven and he is now nine and it is still a hit with him and his friends. An average size child can use this even when he is twelve or so. It's easy to manouvre, only thing it does not have a reverse mode but he manages manually.

Great buy, go for it for your kid. He will love you for years to come.


starsNice Kart
It has bought that first of the these last summer. The kidskin have fought over it the entire summer... Are reasonably fast, low to the earth, length MUCH stable one and reasonable of the operation on a single charge, still greater kidskin can guide on this. Not one single wound last summer. It has bought the second to Passover. Kidskin still that they have an explosion. A lot I am strange that this is not sold in many placed to you, the performances to estimate the relationship are MUCH good ones.


starsMy kids love it, but minor problems
We have bought 2 for our boys. They love, but we have had some secondary problems. Both are introduce to you in 1 - 2 days after using. The first one was a battery that does not seem to be held the relative charge. It would guide for 5 min. and the gokart it would slow down and have to be recharged. According to problem it was with the other gokart. According to day, the chain (than guides the strap), it has been broken off and fallen they give. The shaver of the company was really good approximately the transmission of the battery of the rimontaggio and the chain, however it has occorr approximately 3 weeks in order to receive the chain that means my son was without its gokart during this time! Eventually this is the extremity to our problems.


starsGreat Entertainment
My 8 year old daughter had her heart set on buying a power wheels Escalade as she began to save her money for the purchase. As the time got closer we knew we needed to come up with something more for her age and size. When we found the Razor go cart online, we were excited to read all the reviews and how well it went over with the kids alike. Now that we have it, we are very pleased with it. We have two daughters 6 and 8 and although the 6 year old needs reminders to hold the throttle half way instead of full on, they both love to drive their go-cart. Many of the neighborhood kids come out whenever the girls take it for a spin. The Razor has a smooth ride, it is quiet, it goes as fast as we would want it to go, any faster it would be scarry, the battery does last longer than the 45 minutes stated, the turning radius is a little tight but the girls are learning to adjust their timing. To drive it in wide open spaces like a black top is the most fun for the girls or on curvy paths at the park. We are very pleased with our purchase and thinking of buying a second one but as of now it gives the girls good opportunities to share and learn to be considerate of eachother's time. My younger daughter does complain of dizziness after riding it for about an hour, but she is probably prone to motion sickness in general. We highly recommend this product for kids in this age range as well as having an adult (oh shucks) drive it with the younger kidos. Enjoy!


starsWonderful
My just love of kidskin this goes - kart (not to point out kidskin of the vicinity). I love that it is low to the earth, much difficult one to upset over. The spin is not the better thing, but it remains loaded more long with the 45 minuteren declares to you. Typically, it has feeding in order nearly 1 1/2 hours. It takes the least room in the garage and is much easy one to love of charge.I absolutely it. F.Y.I. My kidskin are 9 and 7.


starsRazor Ground Force
This is a very fun cart.
It's a hit with all of the neighborhood kids.
The only thing I would change is to improve breaking, it takes too much force, (hand strength,) to stop the vehicle effectively, even with the brake properly adjusted. I'll keep working on it.
Otherwise, it's great fun.


starsGreat item
This was a great buy we live in a court so this was a wonderful gift for my 4 year old son he rides around in circles and loves to play with it. Not to mention all of the neighbors come out to play. The only thing i didnt like about this item was the fact that the brakes are on the steering wheel which makes it difficult to brake for my son. He has learned a way around it because if you let go of the gas trigger it will slow down pretty good not a complete stop so my son has learned to gauge the amount of room he will need before the car will stop completely. I really in all like this go kart better then the power wheels because you dont have to take the battery out to charge the car.


starsGreat time for kids
We ordered the items on December 12th hoping for a Christmas delivery. Upon checkout we were told that the items would most likely not be here till end of January. Since the best price (a savings of 112.00, we needed two)was through Amazon, we decided to make a cute card and tell the boys they would recieve it after Christmas. The NEXT week, both of the razor go carts were delivered to our house! We are so thrilled with Amazom and Razor. 5 +++++ Stars!!!


starsGO GO RAZOR
I bought this for my son and he enjoys it greatly, unfortunately, it stopped working after 6 months and I don't know where to send it to get it fixed. It doesn't take it's charge anymore so I am wondering if I need to get a new motor after 6 months for his go kart. This was great when it worked, but it didn't work for long.


starsGreat, but definitely not for kids under 8
I have had a giocattolo of the small wheels of feeding for my girls when they were 2 and 4. Hour that my son was turning 4, I have not wished it that it guides around in one jeep indenting of Barbie. They have gone to buy the force to the ground but he is meaningfully faster - the advanced parts of the small wheels of feeding outside to 5mph (but moreover it allows that blocchiate the speed to a maximum of 2.5mph), while the force to the ground has the maximum speed of 12mph. Must say however, that LOVE of I (one man of 40 years that hung 165 pounds) this thing... that he was fast, nimble and mine vicinoi I obtain used to see to guide it around to the vicinity. But, the ahem, where he was I? The OH yes, of new to kidskin. My daughters of 6 and 9 years love this automobile since are meaningfully faster of their old automobile of the feeding small wheel. I could even eliminate mine 6 years with it when they have gone fin of the seam and could continue with me and then some (we have exited for approximately an hour (so as to the figure we have gone approximately 8-10 miles since we were not going the complete hour. That being said, it is too much fast sense for mine 4 years... and mine 6 years that that knows to guide it was even making a series of figure 8 in the way to the maximum speed and loving it... when has lost the control and has made to work the complete speed in the edge... he was not a happy camper, even if has been damaged seriously. The automobile is based low however... therefore if a child had to work here under a SUV... it is a probability that the much real child could be damaged seriously however because theirs make smack in the bumper... therefore SATISFY is conscious. I have allowed the daughter of our friend who was 5 in order to lead the automobile in a field much open and he loved it... but they are concluded to me on control losing also and working in a structure of the game. It has damaged hurt same she and it has broken the seatbelt because she has let to take from the panic and entered complete speed in the structure... that it has not been damaged seriously... but definitively I have rethought my position approximately leaving ALL the child under 8 or 9 lead the undercarriage alone. Since not there is sense to block outside the maximum speed... the children would have to be watches a lot to you with attention. I guide mine 4 years in my turn (and it has even guided it to the preliminary training a day to the morning (that it loved the BTW). Naturally, I have observed one aims stupid who guides to house in this goes close kart to the morning to the school... but my son A LOT has been excited! ;) You want I ago pray attention with this automobile with the children in young age.


starsGreat ride!!!
My eight year old son is in love with this go-kart. It's fast enough and easy to handle. The kids in our neighborhood can't ride it enough.


stars NaNa a hit with grandkids!!!!
I have bought both mine grands this and-undercarriage and they love it, they were large watching to guide them the place.It everywhere are easy to handle long and easy to operate.Keeps it loads with we have thought, we are a great turn!!!!


starsAnother Bummer
I purchased this and the mini chopper bike for my boys for Christmas 2004. The chopper bike never worked right and the company gave me the run around. The go kart ran longer by months but the battery never stayed charged for more than 30 minutes. The belts have broken numerous times. My son would rather ride his power wheels than the mess with the go kart. Now it does not run at all. My 3 year old sits on it and pretends she is going somewhere. WHAT A WASTE ON MONEY AND A BIG DISSAPOINTMENT. To make matters worse the company does not stand behind thier product and continue to sell the hunks of JUNK!!!!


starsGo Kart-ing
I have obtained this for my last NATO them of the son. To really it is enjoyed it. Ndemnity goes hardly on hills and it is not therefore fastly that it is frightful. It is 7, high 5 feet and 100 pounds and it it works well for he. That works than paved earth the more well flat. Great turn on the giocattolo for thats of the too much large child the hour for the type classic plastic turn of perego of the thorn of the battery on cars/motorcycles. We have not had problems with this article.


starsWorks great for us!!
In the first place outside of I have not bought this for it are planned use. It is for the dad. The kidskin guide Powerwheels and have wished something (little expensive) to chase them within. To weigh 220 pounds and this moves it 9 mph on levelled earth. Emailed the shaver, estimates the GroundForce for 120 # because of the format of wheel/frame (the scooters larger uses the same one controller/motor arranged and estimates 220 #). that I they guide on levelled earth flat - the hills are do not go with me in it. He seems durable up to now and fact as the giocattolo of all the kidskin - she is not a professional goes kart and the price reflects it. That saying I do not have difficulty with it at all, my old drives from 3.5 years it (much fast one) - but it is a good ones driver. That is large for all the kidskin that can handle with ability 12v a Powerwheel. From the purchase it I have replaced - for the performances only - the regolator with a model 36v, added to an other battery 12v and motors it exchanges you for a 750w and hour we have a sure divertimento (hour outside resembles to an just plan of science) but advanced parts around 25 mph with me that I guide. PLEASANT.


starsDon't buy unless you have extra time and money
I have bought this I go undercarriage in the month of May 2005. My kidskin have not obtained to even guide them in order an hour before that the strap was broken off. An additional strap has been stored in the undercarriage so as to we have replaced that broken one, we have recorded the tensionamento and we have left kidskin to still guide. Of new, nient' other an hour more subsequently, the strap is routes still. I have called Razor and have transmitted a strap of the rimontaggio that has assumed the direction of an hour in order to put over because you must take apart the small wheel and the axel posterior. Two hours after the repair it, has still broken off itself. Called Razor, strap still transmitted of the rimontaggio, still. The strap STILL changed, HAS BEEN STILL BROKEN OFF! Called Razor a last time and has been said to that they transmitted one new strap but we would have to pay after $5.00 every strap. It has been said to that they could not take to undercarriage back.In my opinion, here were something evil with the gear of the strap. Therefore less that you have the time and moneies to spend on this article, NONLO BUYS! One is being based in our shed and has had place from July.


starsFun for a short time
We noticed when we got this gokart that the tires were not in very good alignment. There was no way to align the tires. The tires don't have a lot of tread on them and now they are really worn after just a few months. Now our Razor gokart won't turn at all when my son rides it. Even though he's turning the steering wheel, it continues to go straight. It's not able to make corners at all and sits in our garage after just a couple of months of play.

The charger has been fine for us. No problems with the battery. They recalled all the older models of this gokart, but seemed to have gotten all the bugs fixed when we bought ours in May 2005. We ran the battery down and charged it each time we used it. The tires though keep us from using it. Proper alignment and replacements would probably make it a favorite toy again.

It was a great toy for a little while.


starsFun Go-Kart!
I have bought this giocattolo for my son of yo 9 and it loves it. The only claim that we have is that it does not exceed grass very well, but with rubbers many small, we have really not previewed it to. We have not had some problems with the battery and the loader as others have. My son highly would suggest it!


starsRazor refuses to stand behind products
If you are unsure about purchasing this item, I urge you to please read some of the reviews on other Razor products. You will find numerous complaints about this company. After reading all the problems people have had with other Razor products and chargers, I can't believe they continue to sell their crappy products. We spent over a hundred bucks on a Razor Electric Scream Machine for my son last year for Christmas. He's ridden it maybe 5 times since then, because the charger fails after a few uses. After tracking someone down at Razor (their customer service sucks as bad as their products), they sent us a new charger. Used it once, then that quit on us. Tried to get our money back, but they said they will only reimburse for taking it to a repair shop. What a pain, what a disappointment, what a waste of money. Don't expect them to stand behind any of their products. They don't have anyone at their company to talk to when you call. You must leave a message, and wait for them to get around to calling you. By the way, the Electric Scream Machine is no longer on the market. They make their money selling their defective products, then pull them from the shelves knowing they're defective, but won't refund a dime to their customers.


starsAmazing Toy
Listen i have had 7 electric vehicles and no matter what anyone says about the tires the durability of this toy, its a lie. I think this is the coolest ride out there and if your going to look for something for your child for his or her birthday or christmas this is the toy to get. Believe me i have more expierience i also own a dirtbike.


starsPoor quality kart!
Sprec I do not pray your moneies on some articles of the shaver. The batteries will not work for along [... ].


starsDissatisfied Mom & Disappointed Son
The kart of and it will not hold hardly loads - if I debit 1 hour or during the night if. We live on the 9 house cul du sac and my son cannot not turn around to the cul du sac before that functions from feeding. A lot is disappointed! I am putting myself in contact with the shaver and eventually they will know to repair this problem.


starsGreat ride, but tires wear out fast.
My son loves this thing, but with therefore space to the ground low the drive chain attacks to times to hits. The rubbers have lasted to it approximately a month with that the guide nearly every day. I have added a switch to it so as to hour has inverse. Easy, but hard graceful to convince a space to the open to the inside of the cover of the motor in order to mount it. Hour they are on the look outside for new rubbers. Eventually I can obtain real rubbers inflatible. Anyone has seen is some?


starsQuit after 4 weeks
Kart bought for the old daughter 8yr. It loves. The relative divertimento in order to guide it however has rinunciato after 4 weeks. It seems that the module of electronic control has been gotten out of order. Relative not the switch.


starsGreat Fun for All Ages!!!
That is a fantastic product! I have bought one of these for mine just use, having hoped that it transported an adult. Easy to mount, durable construction, cutting design, much clean and calm one to work. It easy inserts in the log much small of my civic Honda and is large divertimento to guide in the parking lottery on the job during mine lunch interval. Therefore as well as divertimento that I have bought two more - to run and like gift for a friend. All and three work to them very well, if worked from a child or an adult. Also adult skeptics who have guided this extremity in on that he laughs foolishly like the scholars! Naturally, ago to work little more fastly when the driver he is a child 8-year-old, but has been abundance of divertimento for all. Also with the riders until 180 pounds, or pendii the delicate rampicanti, I have still to release the switch. They are beyond high six feet and I can insert easy in the kart, even if an anchor little legroom would be welcome (famous: The three karts that I have bought have a drive chain, but the newest models use a rubber strap preferibilmente, so as to your distance in miles can vary.) I cannot wait for the shaver in order to begin to sell true one version of adult-format of this product. Sure drive!


starsGREAT BUY!!!
We bought this go cart for my 5 yr old son for Christmas & it is a hit!! The only problem we have had is trying to explain to him that he can't ride it in the rain or the dark!!! He rides it every single day until the battery dies & has for the past 2 months without getting sick of it at all. It is a great toy, worth every penny!!


starsLots of Fun for the kids...
My 2 kids went in together and bought this go-cart with their Christmas money, and I have to say, this was the best toy they have everbought. My daughter is 10 and my son is 5 and they both have a blast on it. It took my son a little while to get used to steering it and controling the throttle, but after about an hour he mastered it.

I highly recommend it


starsneeds better drive belt
The shaver goes - kart it is lotteries of divertimento for mine 7 years. Sure one is much had it is center of low gravity. However, the strap of too much hard drive is fragile sense along. It has had need of frequent recordings (to tighten), that it was rather easy affinchè me made, but finally the strap has been broken off after only some weeks and I could not find a rimontaggio to the warehouse that I have bought it give. Finally I have bought two new ones from the Internet to $15.00 every more franking $7.00. Task that a drive chain has been a sense the much best one to go, or to perhaps make an additional resistant strap rather than flimsy thin one that comes with the Co-kart-kart. In more, I have thought that "the seat belt" (that it is virtually useless) offered a possibility dangerous to obtain the wound in on in the posterior small wheel if in use and I would not have not to be put on the and-kart.


starsBattery Charger didn't work for me
The great experience before the time outside, but from then the battery is not loaded. I think suspicion the caricabatteria or the connections to the inside of the battery in if. The caricabatteria is supposed to flash during charing but the exposures one constant green light. Disappointment and a headache in order to correct. Lotteries of divertimento when it works.


starsVery Pleased
I have bought the undercarriage of and for my old son from 5 years for Been born them far away, it has been outstanding..speed on a hard surface {road} is at least like fact publicity to and my son enjoys it very. Highly suggested.


starsWOW
I was also on the fence due to the negative reviews. However, I ended up purchasing one as a Christmas present for my 6 year old. I have to tell you, this is one great toy. We live on a slightly steep grade and the Ground Force is able to easily pull the hill. The battery lasts at least 40 minutes even with this punishment. I would have to guess that the max speed is 15 mph easily. This is also one tough toy. The steel frame takes a real beating from my child and continues to perform.

All in all, this is one of the best toy purchases I have made and I think it will be around for a long time to come!




starsBattery Wires cut off
We bought this Go-Kart for my 8 yr old son. Since there isn't anything else out there on the market for his age range. We gave it to him Christmas morning. He went outside and rode it for maybe 30 min and it all of a sudden stopped working. Of course the manual doesn't have any sort of section that says troubleshooting. So we thought maybe it was the circuit breaker that had to be reset. Went to reset it and you can't even see that there is a push button under all the plastic so we proceeded to take the back cover off to see the problem. So it wasn't the circuit breaker but the battery wires has been sheered off right flush to the battery by the metal battery holder. There are a ton of wires under that cover that were all zipped in together but the problem was the way the manufacturer put the battery in facing that metal wall there was no room for the wires. If that go-kart goes over a bump, it knocks the wires against that metal plate and it won't be long before they completely get cut off. We took the battery back to the store we got it at and they gave me another battery out of another razor. We're going attempt to put the battery in with the wires facing the other direction towards the motor and only hope the motor doesn't get too hot and burn them. I had a very unhappy little boy on Christmas day. and it does suck that you can't buy extra batteries for this or that they can't make it last longer then 45 minutes. Also another negative is that it doesn't have revearse. Its too heavy of a toy for my 8 yr old to be lifting it and pulling it so he can go forward all the time. I think the manufacturer needs to make some major adjustments.


starsGREAT! Very good value for the price!!!



starsOutstanding FUN -- need better manual
Our son received this for his 9th birthday and LOVES it. Unlike the review below, he had no problem acheiving 12+ mph.

If you're used to the Peg Perego electric toy ride-ons, this is very different. It's very solid throughout, mostly metal with hard plastic. There aren't any bells and whistles, just a variable speed forward throttle (no reverse) and brake, both of which work extremely well. This is a real go-kart: very low to the ground for tight cornering. The battery is built in, and with a very simple plug for charging -- but the trade off is that you can't stock multiple batteries for longer play time. Our son usually gets near the advertised 45 minutes of play time before recharges, and there is a nice indicator on the steering wheel warning of low charge.

You will need a fairly large smooth area (like a parking lot) for your kid to use this go-kart. It doesn't take bumps well being so low to the ground. The kart is small, so can fit in minivans/SUVs/wagons for transport.

Assembly is simple for those who are mechanically inclined, made challenging only by the poor manual (more on that below). You put the steering wheel on (it requires a plastic inset on top and bottom and to make sure the bottom bolt is very tight) and put the seat on (may require taping down the wires under the seat). Add the flag and you are done.

The one negative is that the provided manual is a joke, and Razor's customer service tells me that a new one is being written. I suspect that the relative lack of availability of this model (at least one national retailer has discontinued it) is due to the poor manual quality. When I say "joke", it is really LOL humorous. The mechanic who wrote it clearly was unhappy that any assembly was being left to the end user. It has comments like "use the provided tools only as a last resort" (they are actually fine) and a suggestion that you find a "real" mechanic to assemble it. It contains unhelpful advice, such as warning you the kart moves while in use, while not mentioning the need for plastic inserts with the steering wheel. The worst is that there is no discussion of the use of the product after assembly, such as what to do if the circuit breaker trips or how to maximize battery life (the customer service tells me that the battery should be used up before recharge, and that it should not be plugged in for more than 6 hours).

So, if you feel uncomfortable with a poor manual, I suggest delaying purchase of this until is fixed. Otherwise, this toy is outstanding.





starsWhat a Dud! Very Disappointing!!
I have bought this for mine 9 years like gift in birthday advance payment. We were waiting for a autoalimentata battery we go - kart for he to along so as to a lot we have been it excites in order to obtain this to you. To put it was with one cracks: the least parts to join. We have inserted during the night the loader so that he was waited for it the day following for. The next morning directs outside to the private road in order examining it outside. The thing would not go fastly at all. It has gone THEREFORE slow! Jeep of Barbie of mine the 5 years it has gone more fastly than this thing. I have thought that perhaps it was because my private road was too much irregular so as to we have packed it in on and we have taken it to an open lottery and secluded of parking in order to try it here. The same thing. It begins gradually towards the slow and then rampicante outside in on in the speed. It has not never obtained to the 12 mph that it has exact. Still not wishing to throw hardly in the napkin still, I have thought that perhaps my son was too much heavy for it (those was not also close to the maximum weight of 115). (BTW: They have changed spec. on this thing 4 times that are begun towards the outside to be able to hold 220lbs and hour that is down to 115lbs.) Therefore I have had my test of 5 years it outside. The same thing. The thing has taken in order always to the movement and when finally it has developed a sure speed that you have worked from room and that you have had to turn and would lose the momentum and must begin once again. It terrible it. I have tried for a week or therefore still the hope that was not completely loaded just and then finally I have given it in on and I have given back of new to the warehouse. Ché DUD!


starsWell built FUN
My only experience with this was in the store without a fully charged battery but this seems like a well built fun machine. I was comparing this to the new power wheels go-carts which are equally as much fun for the kids (I also rode this, I am 150lb adult) The advantage to this is the speed is variable, can accomodate all sizes of riders, all steel construction, easy to get batteries. Since the drivetrain is based on an electric scooter there shouldn't be any problem with the gears going bad like my sons power wheels. Also has good brakes. Not as cool looking as the formula one looking power wheels but I think this is faster and better built. Front wheels did slip on the slick floor but should be fine on concrete or asphalt. I am thinking of buying one of these or the bladez gas powered go-cart so I can have fun with my son! Overall this is a Fun machine!
