BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.

We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.

It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.

If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

Bottom line

The Razor Dirt Rocket SX500 is an electric dirt bike advertised for riders 14 and older. Buyers instead recommend it for children from seven to 13. Smaller adults may enjoy the platform for modifying it into a pit bike. Most owners are pleased with the ease of use and the motor's adequate power, which isn't overwhelming for younger riders. However, many buyers complain about batteries failing shortly after purchase, and the warranty lasts only 90 days, leaving them on the hook for costly replacements. Nonetheless, buyers who don't experience issues feel the Razor Dirt Rocket SX500 is great value.
