The Razor Pocket Rocket miniature electric bike is actually a scaled down version of an actual street bike which has been designed and built particularly for children, particularly those who love the thrill and excitement of revving up and zipping round.

This electric bike may be miniature in size but this thing can move - it can reach speeds of about 15 mph, and I have it on authority that it can get to 20 mph going down hill! However, it does have variable speeds controlled by a twist grip throttle. It is just as well that it sports big 10 inch pneumatic tyres which guarantee a smooth ride. Noise is also kept to a minimum due to the chain driven motor and there is an all important hand operated brake.

You will discover that the Razor Pocket Rocket is powered using 2 x 12 volt batteries which do hold out well when charged, the manufacturer states that charging for between 4 an 6 hours will give 45 minutes running time. Others I have talked with say they charge the batteries over night and the kids can ride on and off for a full day without losing power.

The most disagreed about fact about the Razor Pocket Rocket is the age range for which it is best suited. Razor USA recommends this miniature bike for youngsters age 13 and over, but, this age seems to be debatable as many tall, older with the result of pain to the legs and knees. There are many who would argue that this miniature bike is more suited to the 8 to 9 year old age range, but I also am aware of children as young as 5 riding this electric bike. I am of the opinion that you know your child and his/her capabilities best, as long as there is adult supervision and the area in which they are riding is safe and traffic free they will most definitely have hours of fun.

One good point about the Razor Pocket Rocket miniature electric bike, even with all the likely scrapes and crashes is that it seems to survive pretty well, so good on durability and I an led to believe that spare parts can be bought relatively easily. Another positive advantage for all of you who shy away from any technical stuff, this miniature bike requires very little assembly.

Something which is necessary with this toy is a good helmet, knee pads and elbow pads for safe, injury free riding.
