The Razor Rip Rider 360 may look like an oversized tricycle, but the tricks that you can do with it makes it a hot toy for any child. My almost 7 year old son has been testing out the Razor Rip Rider 360 and disturbing me by suddenly turning into a miniature teenager with phrases like “check out that sweet trick I did”. The Rip Rider 360 allows for an insane amount of maneuverability without sacrificing safety and is a 2009 Parents Best Toys pick.
Razor Rip Rider 360 Safety and Durability
I have all boys so toys have to be extremely well made to last more than 5 minutes at our house. I was able to get a glimpse of the quality of the Razor Rip Rider 360 while I was putting it together. First of all, let me just say that I am rarely the one to put things together in our house. I am not good with details and I hate following directions but my 6 year old son seems to have inherited my lack of patience and he wanted the Razor Rip Rider 360 put together as soon as it showed up on our doorstep so I gave it a shot. I was thrilled that it wasn’t nearly as difficult to put together as I thought it would be and it came with step by step illustrated instructions (perfect for 6 year olds and ADD moms). Assembly took about 15 minutes and while putting the Rip Rider 360 together I was impressed by the strength of the steel frame and the multiple points of attachment to create a stable base and limit injuries if one screw falls out (which seems unlikely considering how tightly they go in).
The Razor Rip Rider 360 has a weight limit of 160 lbs. (which sadly I am slightly over. Must get back to that diet.) so it can easily take abuse from my boys, who tend to jump on things. My husband is jealous that they don’t make one in his size because it really is a throwback to the old Big Wheel bikes that he always wanted as a kid. I confess, I did sit on the Rip Rider 360 even though I’m over the weight limit just to see if it could handle it. The frame didn’t flex at all and I honestly think if my legs were shorter it could probably handle me. I don’t see the stickers lasting long around my kids, simply because most stickers rarely do, but that in no way affects the functionality of the bike.
Razor Rip Rider 360 Functionality
My kids didn’t need any prodding to start testing out the Razor Rip Rider 360. My 6 year old and 4 year old (who is a little young for the recommended age but still rides it without a problem) could play on the thing for hours. While the Rip Rider 360 can be used as a bike to get from point A to point B, its real appeal is the tricks it allows kids to do. The rear castor wheals allow for extreme maneuverability. My heart jumped a few times watching my kids twist the wheel going full speed to spin the Rip Rider 360 but the bike is extremely stable and so far we haven’t had any spills. My kids have loved riding the Rip Rider 360 back and forth and making sharp turns so they can drift.
It’s really one of those things you have to see to get a feel for it.
