That's right, WoW! I purchased through a store because I found one nearby that had one in stock. We pulled it out of the box Christmas Morning to find it-- COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED! I didn't break the news to my eager 8 year old son that he'd have to wait all day for the battery to charge. I decided to read the instructions first. The very first line under charging instructions read, if the battery isn't already fully charged--:o Huh? Why would the battery be fully charged? Curious, I flipped the switch to on, lifted the back wheels and pressed the throttle. That's right! The battery was fully charged. Isn't Santa thoughtful. It ran full throttle the entire 45 minutes and made one 8 year olds Christmas the best ever. His mom was very happy too! It runs in the yard on the street, and steers great. I want to take it back to the store so I can buy it again! Really though, what a delight. 5 stars

And we've had a few of them. I have read many complaints about Razor and their customer service. Fortunately, my experience has been very positive. This is the fourth razor ride on toy that I've purchased and they have all performed wonderfully. My kid's pocket ROcket is almost 4 years old now, and is still working well on the original battery.

ANyway, THIS KART IS AWESOME! In addition to arriving fully assembled, and charged up, this thing does everything it claims. It's got great torque, crawls right through mud and over bumps and uphill, and is a very well constructed little buggy.

Like the MX350, I would prefer a footbrake, because my 3 year old can drive this thing, but can't squeeze the hand brake. OH well, he's younger than the recommended age so this is on me. THe motor provides more than enough " engine braking" anyway to bring the thing to a pretty rapid halt when you let off the gas.

I am verypleased in every way with this buggy.

Only notes:
The flag is Black, and really should be orange, and perhaps taller.

The tires are not the same ones pictures above. THey have a weird kind of mixed tread that is street ready in the center, with really aggressive treads on the sides. We'll see how long they last. Kind of cool, just not what I expected given the pic.

All the kids in teh nneighborhood seem to think it's fast, but my kids have been riding these kinds of toys since before they could walk, and this one could maybe use a higher top speed. But to sacrafice a bit of speed for what is pretty incredible torque is a worthy tradeoff.

For the price, there really isn't a better toy for a little kid.

My boys are 3 and 5 and are just in heaven with this car.

Battery lasts them full throttle for about an hour. 5 stars

After having a "real" Dune Buggy years ago, I purchased two Razor Dune Buggies for my grandchildren for Christmas (6 1/2 and 8 yrs old). The order was delivered much faster then expected and the only thing I had to do is add a little air to the tires and charge the batterys.

The Buggy is belt extremely well and because the tires have groves for off road riding, it moves over grass and smooth surfaces much better then other ride on toys. The hand controls were easy for the kids to operate and the 6 1/2 yr old had no problems at all. And "yes" it definitely travels FAST enough!

I believe a child over 10 yrs old would probably be too large to ride comfortably, but the Buggy would probably carry them easily any way. The battery lasted a good 45 minutes or more, and ran full throttle most of the time.

There are many-many safty factors built in and the Manual gave good safety rules and advice. This also was very important to me AND the kids.

I've purchased other Razor products, and as usual Razor didn't let me down. Great product.......great service.......and this grandma even rode it and for a few minutes became a kid once again. Go for it......... 5 stars

My sons, ages 7 and 8, absolutely love this thing.

The Razor Dune Buggy is battery powered and charges up fairly quickly. I also was very pleased that it's not too fast; my sons actually go much faster on their bicycles and I think the Dune Buggy is easy to keep up with as a parent at a slow jog. The low center of gravity helps keep all four wheels on the ground at all times (read: they've never been able to flip it). :)

Drawbacks are minor, but important to note. The motor does produce an audible sound yet it cannot be heard from within a car. It is so low to the ground that cars will have difficulty seeing it, so to solve this it comes with a tall flag that installs on the back of the Dune Buggy.

You should also consider that the accelerator is not a pedal, it is actually a thumb lever on the steering wheel, so it is important that your child can manipulate a hand brake and a hand accelerator at the same time. I will say that all the kids on my street who have ridden it (between 6-9 yrs. of age) got the hang of it fairly quickly.

It has no key. There's a power switch on the back that the kids can flip on at anytime, so if you want to lock it down, you'll have to manually disconnect the battery cable (very easy to do).

Finally although it is called a "dune buggy", it is best suited for sidewalks and roads. The kart struggles to move up any incline on grass (it's obviously not AWD) and the narrow tires destroyed my new lawn quite nicely lol. Hard-packed dry dirt would be ideal terrain for this kart.

The best part was purchasing this on Amazon.com. The kart arrived in one big box, entirely pre-assembled, and the battery was pre-charged. I literally signed for the package and the kids were driving it in less than five minutes.

If your kids are a bit older and have the need for speed, this isn't your kart, yet if you want something for younger kids that is relatively safe, eco-friendly, and reliable, the Razor Dune Buggy is highly recommended. 5 stars
