Bottom line

The Razor Dirt Rocket MX650 is a mini electric motorcycle, advertised for ages 16 and over. Parents purchase them for their children, and adults enjoy modifying the pit bikes with after-market kits. The compact bike rides well over pavement, dirt, and grass in testing. However, reviewers advise avoiding serious off-roading because of its noisy, cheap brakes and suspension, along with its low torque. Many buyers report serious electrical failures and stripped rear hubs within the first year, and unfortunately, the short warranty doesn’t apply. Overall, buyers can agree that the Dirt Rocket MX650 is great fun while it lasts.

Nonetheless, [there’s] not a lot to complain about. It held through. We did some good beating on it, too. The battery doesn’t last too long, but that’s what you can expect. It’s just an old-school DC 36V.

[It’s] not the most quality front fork, but it provides what it needs when we’re ripping around the yard or going down the street. This is not made to be a hardcore dirt bike.

The acceleration on this thing is not too shabby, either. It feels fine; it gets up and goes pretty good. It gets up to top speed pretty quickly for a 36V 650W bike.
