Razor Ground Force / Drifter Seat Review

Product Overview
Replacement seat for the Razor Ground Force Electric Go Kart and the Razor Ground Force Drifter.
This was my first purchase on Amazon.com. I have to say that I am very happy with their service. Item was shipped out very fast and they had the lowest price and best shipping rates that I could find. I was equally impressed with the quality of the dune buggy. The wheels have bearings instead of bushings which reduce friction and last longer. The welds are very nice, Unlike many ride on toys that have poor welds that break even when not under stress.
I have purchased other brands that have plastic wheels and they just spin when going up the smallest incline. The air filled rubber tires get plenty of traction, Although they are not like the ones in the picture. The tires have a slightly smooth traction area with knobbies on the side edges. I was also pleased that it came assembled, Just attach the flag pole, Charge and go. It took the full eighteen hours for it to charge, Just as the attached charging instructions stated. The charge lasts about thirty-five to fourty minutes running in thick grass and small hills.
It is not as fast as some of the other ride on toys but it doesn't slow down as much when under a load like the others. My daughter is six and has no troubles reaching the controls and just loves to ride it. The motor,chain and batteries are covered so your child wont get their hands/fingers caught in the sprockets. I also like the fact that it has an adjustable seat belt.
The things I didn't like about it is that it has a hard plastic seat (Could use some cushioning). Also the shock is pretty much useless as it doesnt absorb anything due to the ultra firm spring, I pressed down on the back of the buggy to see if it had any spring action and I probably would have bent the back frame bar before the shock compressed. I wish it had the ability to go faster, Like a switch that would let you select Hi/Low speed so as your child became more confident you could switch it to go faster.
All in all I would recommend this product over any of those plastic wheeled pieces of junk!.
I bought both the ground force, and the drifter - so I am going to give a comparison.
My boys (6 and 7) prefer the drifter. Being able to spin that thing around really gives added pleasure. Now they don't want to really ride the non-drifting ground force. One other difference is the drifter is able to turn with a much tighter radius. So that makes it more maneuverable in tight turns from the street to the sidewalk, etc.
I wish I had just gotten two drifters. However, if I had gotten two ground forces, I bet the boys would have been happy not knowing what they were missing.
This is an awsome scooter that I love riding. When I first rode this scooter, it only took 5 Minutes to get use to. Here's the positives and negetive in this reveiw. (+)For Positive and (-)For Negitive and (=) for Nutrial(things that dont bother me but can be implimented).
(+)Nice Grip for this scooter
(+)Easy To Get use to
(+)Really good portability
(+)Really cool drifting[Meaning you can literally drift while going straight and turning]
(+)Alot of creativity when riding this
(+)Alot of duribility
(=)The price
(=)The chance of falling of(I really recommend a helmet for everyone riding this)
(-)There's no brake's on it
(-)There could of been more griptape on this
All and all I love this scooter. Im 16 and this is a such a recommended scooter

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.

My son got this for his 8th birthday, and he loves it! Assembly was a snap, since almost everything was already put together. The manual (as others have said) is a joke - they've changed the design of the cart since the manual was written, and the updates aren't in the printout (or on the web site). There's conflicting info about how to charge the cart too - but I figure it should just be treated like any other rechargeable battery. You'll need a large smooth paved area for this cart - it doesn't work too well on uneven or rough pavement, and though it can go through packed gravel, I don't think it's a good idea. So far it's been quite durable, keeps a charge for a reasonable amount of play - we feel it was a good purchase and well worth the money.
Bought this for my 5 year old son who has a LARGE head (already in Men size hats) and while it was a bit too big he quickly grew into it. He completely loved the helmet and it seems to offer good protection for him. The only thing they could have added was the shield and that is simply for the "cool" look- as my son tells me.
I rate this highly and would highly recommend it.

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.
