 Excellent product for the price! Jun 08, 2010
We ordered this product for our daughter, who is almost 5. Her daddy had been wanting to purchase some type of ride-on toy, such as a 4 wheeler. We went with the Razor Dune Buggy because it was low to the ground, which we thought would be a little safer for a beginning rider. The product arrived promptly, was mostly charged when we took it out of the box. We have had no problems with it, and the thumb throttle is easy for young riders to master. My only complaint would be that there is no reverse, so if she gets herself in a jam, it is a little bulky to pull out and turn around. As I said our daughter is not yet 5, and maybe a little tall for her age, but she fits the dune buggy just right. She loves it, and is upset on days when it is too rainy to ride. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a ride on toy for those graduating from the small battery operated quads, etc that only go 2 mph. We are extremely happy with our purchase so far, and have had it for nearly a month.

 Don't order razor products!!!! May 06, 2010
The Dune Buggy arrived, got charged and........... worked for 10 minutes. We located a Razor Service Center and waited for 3 weeks on a part. When the part arrived, it turned out that Razor got it wrong and had shipped the wrong one. We had called the Razor customer service line various times and all they refer to is their: we can only do troubleshooting or order parts motto. By the time the correct part eventually arrived, the return policy with Amazon had expired. And, guess what: the Dune Buggy got fixed by the Service Center, got charged up and.............does NOT work again. I am now faced with another trip to the Service Center, have them diagnose the problem, wait 10 business days for the hopefully correct required part just to see the Razor's warranty expire on us within another month.
Razor is not helping at all !!!! Stay away from ordering it online. Find the Dune Buggy in a store where you can return it, if it should be faulty ! My kids are super disappointed and so am I, since I spent $350 just to find the buggy at a Razor Service Center.

Excellent Gift, but not for recommended age of 13 May 04, 2010
I bought this for my 5 year old, and it is perfect for this age group. 5-8 would be ideal. They recommend only for 13 and up, but while it would be fun for them, it may be a little slow. I think they recommend for older ages to avoid law suits... It's ideal for the smaller kids, especially if they have out grown the 5 mph rides and are looking for something with a little more kick (probably around 8-9 mph on flat street), quick, but not like you can't catch up to it or anything like that a smooth job is about the speed. It has a throttle, so if the child wants to go slower until he builds up his confidence it can do that as well, which will be about 15 minutes later. It is very sturdy and strong, runs great on grass, roads, hills... I have no issues with battery life, my son get's tired long before it runs out of battery, but then he's on it again the next day. Be careful with parked cars as this is truly the most dangerous aspect. It is very low to the ground. Lastly, there is a brake, but it's pretty hard for smaller children to pull, but don't worry once they let of the throttle it comes to a complete stop pretty quick, within one adult car length. It's loads of fun, I wish I could ride it.
Awesome! Apr 22, 2010
My kids 7 & 9 earned the money to buy these buggys and they love them. They drive all over the grass and hills in our yard. I would highly recommend this product.
Perfect gift for a young boy !! Feb 21, 2010
I bought the Razor Dune Buggy for my 8 year old son for Christmas. I looked at other dune buggies but was not at all interested in gas powered ones (way to smelly and dangerous). I was looking for something that did NOT look like a toy (no Fisher Price plastic ride-on electric motorcycle type stuff). But I also did not want something that was too powerful. This Razor buggy is perfect. It goes fast enough to give him a thrill but not so fast to make me worry. It charges up overnight and he can ride it for 45 minutes which is plenty of time. From the picture of the buggy it looks short, like your child's knees will be bent when riding it. Turns out, it fits him just fine (he's average height for an 8 year old), he is perfectly comfortable on it and his knees are not bent too much and they are not in the way of the steering wheel. We've owned it for 2 months and love it. IMPORTANT THING TO KNOW: if the weather is going to be below 32 degrees outside at night you can't leave it outside (or even in the garage). Below-freezing temperature drains the battery life. So we store it in the utility room in the winter at night. It weighs about 70 pounds (not light!) so moving it into our utility room at night is a little cumbersome. It's worth it though b/c he loves it. You can't put a price on his delighted laugh everytime he rides it!
