I saw the Razor Crazy Cart online and it looked like a fun outdoor vehicle. Once it came home I was so very pleased with it. Although it is not very flashy or fancy looking, it is sooooo much fun. It is a very sturdy and well built vehicle. The metal is very strong, the wheels are of great quality. The steering wheel is not flimsy and handled ever twist and turn with ease. It was surprisingly faster than I thought it would be.
The box that it comes in is quite large and it is surprisingly heavy. From the pictures I saw online I could not tell how large it was. When we opened the box I was relieved to see that there was hardly any assembly required. All I had to do was screw the steering wheel into place. Once this was done I thought i would just charge and go. Not yet! Turns out that you are required to put air into the tire first before the first time you take it out. So make sure you have a good tire air pump before you try to operate.
The location for the charger is very convenient and it charges as advertised. Once it was charged taking it outside was a little tough for my 12 year old son. It is, as I mentioned before, quite heavy so it was a little hard moving it around the house to get it outside. Once we got it outside it took some getting used to. Learning how to spin, drive and maneuver took about 30 minutes though, so there is a short learning curve. Once you learn to operate, it is a totally fun experience. I couldn't get my son off of it. He stayed on for over an hour.
The Crazy Cart mode is soooo fun. The cart never felt like it would tip over! Really is one of the best carts we have owned. The weight limit says 140lbs, but I went on it and I am a little heavier than that ;-) The cart is so low to the ground I can see why it supported my weight. I would be more cautious with younger kids as a 7 year old may be tempted to try this. I am not too sure I would recommend that because it does go pretty fast.
Suggestions:
-Only operate it on flat, level surface.
-DO NOT OPERATE DOWN A HILL! There are NO BRAKES. Which means, it slows down when your foot is off the accelerator. So if you are coming down a hill, the momentum can and will carry you with no good way to stop. It did not feel safe doing that.
-Use a helmet at all times!!! It goes pretty fast, so if you hit a bump you want to be safe!
-Adult supervision is strongly suggested! If it starts to go really fast, and adult may be able to stop this safely in motion. Just be careful because the metal on this thing is pretty hard and you dont want to hurt your shin! I wouldn't recommend another child trying to stop it, they might get hurt.
Other than that, it was a very fun and safe ride! Although the price is a little high, I think it is worth it. It seems so sturdy I think we will have for years.
