Razor Dirt Quad 24V in Blue: Kids Electric 4-Wheeler Review

This review covers the blue listing of the current Razor Dirt Quad, the updated version of Razor’s 24V kids’ quad, for riders 8 and older who weigh up to 120 pounds. It adds a forward/reverse switch and has a parent-controlled high/low speed switch (up to 8 mph on high, 5 mph on low), and Razor rates it for up to 80 minutes of riding per charge on low (up to 40 on high).

It has a 350-watt chain-driven motor, a twist-grip throttle, a hand-operated rear disc brake and 12-inch air-filled tires. The same quad also comes in red, and that listing has its own red Razor Dirt Quad 24V review. Let’s look at what Razor’s specs and owner’s manual say about it.

This blue listing is the updated Razor Dirt Quad, which gives young riders a quad-style ride on a 24V electric powertrain, now with a forward/reverse switch.

Designed for riders 8 and up and up to 120 pounds, it reaches up to 8 mph on high or 5 mph on low, set by a parent with a switch under a screwed-on cover.

Its twist-grip throttle, hand-operated rear disc brake and 12-inch pneumatic tires make it easy for kids to control on flat, smooth ground.

The powder-coated steel frame and shatter-resistant plastic fairings add durability for backyard adventures.

Razor says it’s not an ATV and not for rough terrain, and it rates the quad for up to 80 minutes of riding per charge on the low setting (up to 40 on high).

Design and Build Quality

The Dirt Quad’s specs show why it suits young riders. Its powder-coated tubular steel frame carries riders up to 120 pounds, and the quad measures 40 x 22.5 x 31 inches assembled and weighs 89.1 pounds, a size that doesn’t intimidate new riders. It can also be stored standing on end.

Feature	Benefit
Shatter-resistant plastic fairings	Stand up to everyday bumps and scrapes
Forward/reverse drive switch	Lets riders back out of tight spots
Adjustable-height riser handlebars with soft rubber grips	Fit growing riders and give a secure hold
12-inch pneumatic (air-filled) tires	Grip and cushioning on flat, smooth ground

The design balances durability with kid-friendly operation: a twist-grip throttle, one brake lever and a forward/reverse switch. It has a front brush bar and a rear grab handle, and the parent-set high/low speed switch gives parents peace of mind while a new rider learns.

Performance and Features

Three performance features stand out on the updated Dirt Quad.

First, its 24V battery system (two 12V, 7Ah sealed lead-acid batteries) is rated for up to 80 minutes of continuous riding on the low setting and up to 40 minutes on high. Second, the 350-watt, chain-driven motor reaches up to 8 mph on high and 5 mph on low, striking that sweet spot between excitement and safety that parents appreciate and children won’t outgrow too quickly.

Two speeds plus forward and reverse make it easy to match the ride to the rider.

Third, the forward/reverse switch lets riders back out of tight spots instead of pushing the quad around, and the variable-speed twist-grip throttle gives ATV-style control.

Combined with the hand-operated rear disc brake, it lets kids manage their own speed. The shatter-resistant plastic fairings and powder-coated steel frame add durability. Razor says the Dirt Quad is not an ATV: ride it on flat, smooth surfaces only, not on rough terrain such as rocky trails or sand, or on wet or icy ground.

This quad lets young riders taste freedom while developing confidence.

Safety and Security Measures

When considering a quad for kids, safety features should never be an afterthought. The Dirt Quad has a parent-controlled high/low speed switch (8 mph or 5 mph) that lets parents set a limit based on their child’s experience, and Razor recommends that riders learn on the low setting.

The speed switch sits under a screwed-on cover, so only an adult with a Phillips screwdriver can change it.

The quad’s sturdy steel frame, with a front brush bar and rear grab handle, adds protection, and its air-filled tires help keep it stable on flat, smooth ground.

The hand-operated rear disc brake stops the quad, and applying it cuts power to the motor through a brake cut-off switch. In reverse, Razor says to look behind you and to practice first in an open area free of obstacles.

Razor also says riders should wear a helmet with the chin strap buckled, elbow pads and kneepads, and lace-up shoes, and should ride only on private property or closed courses, never on public streets or sidewalks, and never at night. Its electrical system is certified to the UL2272 safety standard.

These safety measures strike a balance between protection and freedom.

Who It’s For

The updated Dirt Quad is aimed at kids who are ready for a real quad-style ride.

Razor built it for riders 8 and older, up to 120 pounds, one rider at a time.

The controls are simple: a twist-grip throttle, a single hand brake and a forward/reverse switch, and the low setting gives new riders a gentler start.

As an electric quad it’s quieter than a gas quad and has no fuel or engine oil to deal with; upkeep is mostly charging, tire pressure, brake adjustment and chain lubrication.

The trade-offs: a full recharge takes up to 12 hours, it runs on sealed lead-acid batteries rather than lithium, and it’s meant for flat, smooth ground rather than trails.

Run time is rated at up to 80 minutes on low and 40 on high, and it varies with rider weight, riding conditions and stop-and-go riding.

Kept to flat, smooth ground, as Razor advises, its child-appropriate speeds create the perfect balance of freedom and safety.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Battery Replaceable if It Stops Holding a Charge?

Yes. The Dirt Quad runs on two 12V, 7Ah sealed lead-acid batteries, and Razor publishes a battery replacement guide for this model on its support site. Razor says to use only the batteries it specifies.

What Are the Age and Weight Limits for This Quad?

Razor recommends it for riders 8 and older, weighing no more than 120 pounds, one rider at a time. These limits aren’t arbitrary: exceeding them may compromise performance and safety.

How Long Does the Dirt Quad Take to Fully Charge?

No need for charging anxiety. The first charge takes 12 hours and later charges up to 12 hours (Razor’s recommended maximum is 24), so plugging it in overnight means it’s ready for tomorrow’s adventures.

Is the Razor Dirt Quad Suitable for Riding on Sand?

No. Razor says to use the Dirt Quad on flat, smooth surfaces only and names sand as terrain to avoid, along with rocky trails and wet or icy ground. Loose sand also makes the motor work harder, and Razor’s manual says an overloaded motor can overheat and blow the fuse.

Are Spare Parts Easily Available for Repairs?

Razor’s support site lists Dirt Quad repair guides for the battery, brakes, chain tensioner, charger port, controller, forward/reverse switch, inner tubes, motor, power switch, rear axle, speed switch and throttle, and replacement parts and service go through Razor’s parts site and its authorized service centers.

Conclusion

To sum up, the updated Razor Dirt Quad pairs a 350-watt motor, an 8 mph top speed and 12-inch air-filled tires with a forward/reverse switch and a parent-set high/low speed switch, with up to 80 minutes of riding on low. Like training wheels on the path to bigger machines, it balances fun with safety and power with control, as long as it stays on the flat, smooth ground Razor recommends.
