Razor Rip Rider 360

Razor Rip Rider 360; by Razor, recommended ages 5+, Weight Limit: 160lbs, MSRP $99.99.

The Razor Rip Rider 360 rides like a combo tricycle and a sit and spin. Basically, it is a ride around whip it, that carnival ride that spins you around at every turn.

It's definitely not for the weak-stomached rider or observer because this little trike goes fast and spins even faster!

It is uniquely designed with spinning caster wheels on the rear, similar to those on the Rip Stick. So you pedal, pick up speed and whoosh. The Rip Rider was dreamed up by a 12 year old kid. Not just any kid, but the child of Carlton Calvin, Razor's CEO. You can really tell a child had some input in the design because it is made for thrills.

This Razor is made with drifting and spinning action in mind. The Crew loved the buzz of the ride! We even had a few excitement-seeking Moms who were willing to give it a whirl.

We found that Rip Rider 360 works best on flat surfaces. It seemed a bit out of control on inclines, not that the Crew minded all that much. The more they rode it the better and braver they got. It is definitely not your preschooler's trike. We absolutely recommend full protective gear, including knee, elbow and head gear. Some were tempted to stand on it for a little extra thrill but we reminded them that there is a seat for a reason (scooters are for standing on.)

All in all, reactions ranged from wahoo-ing to "...Ye-es, that's so cool!".

Razor Rip Rider 360 features rear, dual-inclined caster wheels for resistance-free drifting and spinning action, welded steel frame and fork, adjustable handbrake, rubber grips, double crown fork design, front wheel with pneumatic tire, 3-piece crank, and MX-Style handlebar. When it's assembled it weighs about 20 lbs. (nice and light), and measures a compact 38" x 24" x 24".
