    Wouldn’t it be great if Razor just made them like this so parents didn’t have to modify them? 30min of run time is pretty lame…

    Hey, I just bought a razor MX 350 off of Facebook marketplace and it seems to be that when I lift the back end up the tire spins fine and the throttle works.except there is some little noise, I think it's from the chain but other than that it's fine but whenever I go to Drive it/ sit on it, it doesn't move and I know I'm not over the weight limit because I'm about 110 pounds. Do you have an idea on what it would be?

      There are tons of good commercial options that are turn-key, gas or electric. It's more if you WANT a project. Sometimes it ends up costing more to go custom. Depending on how old your son is and if he'd enjoy learning and doing the project with you it can be a fun route.
