Product Description:
This ride-on pony is a toddler's perfect first horseback ride. As kids bounce up and down, the wheeled pony's legs start rolling, so kids can really go for a ride! Horse also comes with safety brakes, which are activated when the seat is held down continuously. Riders can simply press down on the left ear to hear life-like galloping sounds; or press on the right ear for whinnying and snorting sounds. The pony's tail even swings side to side as your child rides along. Handlebars located on the pony's head make steering easy, and a tight four-foot steering radius provides a controlled ride. Pony is perfect for active play both indoors and out. Requires three "AA" batteries, included. 32"L x 13"W x 32"H. Holds up to 150 lbs.

What We Think

Fun Factor:

Durability:

(what this means)

The Good: Toy is sturdy; provides outlet for physical activity.

The Bad: Toy is somewhat heavy; brake is not intuitive or quick to use.

In a Nutshell: Adorable, child-sized riding pony moves with your child's movements, offering plenty of physical, imaginative fun.
At a Glance

Ages: 3 to 6 years
Requires: 3 AA batteries (included)


A brake lever tightens the pony's wheels.
Plush, Cute, and Sturdy
The pony is much like an oversized stuffed toy, with its plush body, longhaired mane and tail, and its friendly eyes. Our child tester loved just petting it, let alone riding it. Beneath its plush fur is a hard, sturdy body that's heavy enough to support to even larger children. It wears a permanent saddle, and the metal, adjustable footrests -- which the toy's instructions call "stirrups" -- have rubber grips for extra security. They're attached to the horse's body with a heavy-duty, permanent metal bar. This toy is definitely built to last. Grip handles are located at the base of the pony's head, and its four hooves are fitted with hidden wheels.

To make the pony move, the child sits in the saddle and places her feet on the footrests. By alternating a sitting position and standing up onto the footrests, she makes a bouncing action that causes the pony's legs to splay out and then come together, making the pony roll forward. Bouncing smoothly and continuously will make the pony continue to roll forward. The child can steer the pony using the handlebars. A brake lever is located at the right handlebar. It can be ratcheted up or down to loosen or completely tighten the pony's wheels.

Imaginative Fun That Comes With a Workout!
In these days of rising childhood obesity, we're happy to have found find an innovative toy that's powered by a child's sheer physical exertion, rather than by remote control or batteries. (Yes, this toy takes 3 AA batteries -- but only to create its sound effects. Squeeze its ears, and it will neigh and make trotting sounds.)

The Giddyup 'N Go Pony offers plenty of fun physical challenges: the rider is challenged to master the bouncing action that makes the pony go, and she must maintain balance while driving and steering at the same time. The pony is built for both indoor and outdoor use, which expands its versatility and gives kids the opportunity to go outside and play.

Some Wise Precautions
But whether the pony and rider are inside or out, make sure an adult is always on hand. For safety reasons, the pony will not roll backwards, and because of its weight and height, only an adult can lift and move it away from "dead ends" or other obstacles. Smaller children will definitely need some help getting in and out of the saddle. And even though the horse has a break, it's not intuitive or quick to use -- so you'll want to keep a watchful eye to ensure that pony and rider don't stray off into steep or otherwise hazardous territory.

If you keep these precautions in mind, your little adventurer can have plenty of fun imagining rustling up cattle, chasing down outlaws, or riding off into the sunset.

Features:
  • As you bounce up and down, your pony's legs move and you really go for a ride
  • Galloping sound - press the left ear to activate. Whiney & snorting sounds - press the righ ear to activate
  • Tail swings side to side as the child rides the pony. Handlebars are located on the pny's head make steering easy
  • Tight 4 feet steering radius. Safety brakes included. Perfect for indoors or outdoors
  • Makes physical activity fun - kids exercise while having a great time!

Giddyup N' Go Pony
The pony is a great toy for little ones. It's a little on the heavy side, but my little girl loves it. It's plush and soft enough for them to have a great time, even with all the metal. Great Product.


does not go very well
It looks cool but it needs a lot of space to move. It does not go backwards. It is heavy so if it gets stuck you need to lift the whole thing up. It is an interesting idea that needs to be refined.


Giddyup N' Go Pony - great product!
The order arrived immediately - even before an email was sent saying it was being shipped! The product didn't take much to put together - the directions were easy to follow and it was clearly labeled. The pony is safe and sturdy and my child loves it. It is great for developing motor skills and keeping little ones active inside during the long winter. It really is just an all around cool toy.


Fun and Excercise all in one
We bought this for my 3yr old son for Christmas this year. An while i can understand other parents concerns about safety. We are now into the New Year and have had no issues in that regard to date. And the novelty is yet to wear off, the body of the horse feels really nice, though the hair and reigns leave something to be desired. Because of the design of the horse, he gets a work out everytime he rides it without even realizing!

And while this can easily be used indoors, if it's in a very small space you will have lots of getting up to turn it around over and over, that is the only negative thing i can say about it.

I think it was an excellent buy! he gets up every morning still wanting to go to it and every afternoon as he gets home! I have no problem recommending this toy to anyone thinking of buying it.


My grandkids love it!
The horse arrived promptly and safely. It is very easy to assemble and extremely life like. When you press each ear the sounds are great and make our twin-2 year olds laugh. They learned quickly how to make the horse move. It's a great toy!

Amazon.com Product Description:
The high-performance, electric powered Razor MX650 Dirt Rocket is ideal for teens (ages 16 and up) who want to enjoy an authentic dirt bike experience without breaking the bank.

At the same time, the bike's dual suspension and riser handlebars deliver a smooth and comfortable ride regardless of the terrain, so the fun isn't restricted to flat pavement. As a final bonus, the Dirt Rocket's variable-speed, chain-driven motor is extremely quiet, a marked contrast to traditional gas-powered motocross bikes.

Other details include 16- and 14-inch pneumatic knobby tires for a maximum power transfer, authentic dirt bike frame geometry, Supercross inspired design, and folding metal foot pegs. The MX650, which requires roughly eight hours to fully charge, offers a maximum weight limit of 140 pounds. It's also backed by a 90-day warranty.

Dont Waste Your Money
Operated 4 times since Christmas -Battery is gone / dead !! Battery cost 9.00 plus shipping
Razor Customer service sucks!!
Should have known better when the first unit arrived with a bent frame!!


GRATE BUT
I love this bike only reason i gave it 4 starts cause it should have head lights ;) and it should go faster then 14mph at least 20
This is very heavy duty i tested my self over the bumps and everything.


Lots of fun
I have a 7 year old that I got the blue one for, an 8 year old that I got the red one for and a 10 year old that I got the yellow one for. They all love them. They don't destroy your yard and they stay charged for a long time. The red one and the yellow one are about the same size so if you are having trouble deciding which one to get I would go with the yellow one. It goes a little bit faster but my eight year old has no problems riding it. Seem to be well built. I figured it was a nice stepping stone to the real thing! My kids have to wear pants and helmets when riding.


Well worth the price and sized for younger than 16
We received the Razor MX650 in excellent condition in 2 days from ordering using the Amazon Prime 2 day shipping trial. The carton was double boxed so the contents could not be determined from the plain brown box eterior (great for birthday present deliveries that have to arrive when the kids are home from school!) The motorcycle was easy to assemble though it did require 2 people to attach the front wheel (one to balance the bike- the other to feed the bolt through the wheel). The bike is a great step up in power from the Razor MX350 that we already own and is perfectly suited in terms of speed and power (it is quick even with a 190 lb rider) to go along with the 110 cc ATV that we have for driving on our land. The bikes' seat is on the short side (for the recommended 16 year old) but is perfect for my 9 and 11 year old sons. My wife (5'4") and 14 year old son (5'9") also are accomodated nicely. All of the kids have been riding gas/electric bikes for several years and the speed is easily handled with a little riding experience. Overall an outstanding buy and I would not shy away from recommending this bike for younger riders as long as they are properly instructed and supervised until they learn the proper caution.


Two months later, still VERY pleased.
Came quickly as Amazon orders always do. Packaging was perfect, no evidence of drops or crushing. Assembly was fairly easy, instructions were clear, took me about 20 minutes. The hardest part was lifting the box off the bike. Tires were pre-inflated. No tube or flat problems like I heard about in other versions of this bike. As a matter of fact, my son's mother purchased an MX350 for our 8 year's birthday at her home, and she had to drive an hour to get the tire fixed to save the day. After charging our MX650 for 18 hours, I took it for a ride around the neighborhood to make sure everything was working properly. I weigh about 175 and was surprised how peppy this thing is. My son has been riding this pretty regularly at our home for clips of 30-40 minutes, and I have only charged it 5 times since December. The battery has only so many charging cycles, so I'll let it get low before recharging it. He must have gotten 90 minutes out of the last charge. Highly recommend this bike. I felt an 8 year old didn't need the speed and danger of a real gas dirtbike. This thing has been fast and fun enough to keep his ADHD attention.

illegal
Do not buy this! I am 14 years old and I saved my money for 3 months to buy this. I finnaly ordered it and was extremely excited! I assembled it, charged it, and the next day, I rode in my neighborhood. A cop drove buy and got out of the car and told me that it was illegal to ride those. It got impounded and I had to pay a 0 plus 0 dollars to get it back. Now, I have spent a grand total of 0 and I have a useless dirtbike in my garage. Dont buy!!!! There Illegal in almost every state!!!


just brought one hoping that its worth it
waiting to receive the mx500 dirt rocket cant want to ride it and have fun !!!!!


Neat Electric Bike
We bought this bike for our 9 year old daughter. It was easy to assemble but did have a bent rear caliper bolt that was damaged in shipping. The charge last much longer than I thought it would. It is much faster than I thought it would be. I would suggest a motorcycle style helmet for any rider because of the speed. We are happy with our puchase and would purchase another Razor product.


What a great toy
I highly recommend getting one, it is pretty cool and it can hold your weight and manouver very well.


EXCELLENT VALUE and FUN!
We have owned the Razor MX500 Dirt Rocket Electric Motocross Bike since February, 2010. It is used EVERY single day by my 55lb 11 year old. He loves it. The kids in the neighborhood love it. We have not had a problem with the battery life at all, but my son takes really good care of it and followed the directions exactly. Also, I might add, this is NOT difficult to assemble at all. The majority of it is assembled already. My 11 year old assembled it by himself!!! All we had to do was come in when he was done and tighten up the bolts. The one thing that I love about this "dirt bike" is that it is so quiet. Even though he is riding on an acre of property, we don't annoy the neighbors when he gets near their homes. It doesn't eat up the grass either!!
This is definitly a great product!
