When your kiddo wants to roll with the “big kids” then you know he or she is ready for the Razor Dirt Quad. This electric miniature off-road four-wheeler is just the ticket for adventure and sport. It has all the features you expect in a bigger machine, like heavy-duty suspension and shocks.

Is it a chariot? Is it a buggy? The Power Wheels Wild Thing is definitely a wild thing! It goes forward, backward, or spins in a circle. Battery-powered and controlled with dual joysticks, the Wild Thing features wide tires for multi-terrain travel and an extra-wide seat for those crazy drifting maneuvers.

Don’t you love those crazy rides at the amusement park that spin around so fast? Then you’ll love the “Turnado” battery-powered ride-on (you can tell your kids you bought it for them, but it’s rated for riders up to 150 pounds, so have a go!) It’s the wildest ride on four wheels.

You don’t have to live in the desert to appreciate how much fun a dune buggy can be. The Razor dune buggy is perfect for a kiddo’s first multi-terrain vehicle. A 350-watt motor powers the low-profile chassis with knobby pneumatic tires to handle whatever ground you’re covering. Recommended for ages 8+.

When you’re looking for top-drawer toys for 8 year olds, you will win when you choose the Razor Pocket Mod Miniature Euro electric scooter.

This is NOT your baby’s tricycle. First off, the Razor Power Rider 360 electric tricycle is a Razor so you know it’s cool. It’s a powered unit, so you know it’s going to be fast. It has three wheels so technically, it’s a tricycle—that drifts, spins, and races up to 9 MPH.

Razor just got serious about low-profile vehicles with the Ground Force Drifter Fury. It has slicks just like big-time dragsters that allow for maneuverability that’s out of this world, including sick drifting action. It even has a spark bar for awesome sparking effects as riders race up to 12 MPH.

The Razor Crazy Cart Shift really is crazy! Designed for younger drivers to ride low to the ground, the Shift is easy to steer in any direction. Kids can drift, or spin a full 360 degrees. The power core technology and in-wheel hub motor keeps it simple to operate and essentially maintenance-free.

EzyRoller is the name and an apt description of this awesome ride-on. It’s the most fun you’ll have without bells and whistles. The beauty of the EzyRoller is what it does NOT have… it doesn’t have batteries, pedals, handlebars, or any chance of boredom. Foot-powered and steered by foot, it couldn’t be easier!

What would you call a “Boardless Skateboard”? It’s not “skates” or at least not skates that you may have used as a youth. No key, no adjusting, no inline wheels, but every bit of the fun and athleticism of advanced skates, skateboards, or RipStiks in two simple circles self-propelled by foot power.

The Razor E100 Glow electric scooter is everything you want a scooter to be – fast, fun, and flashy! Yes, cool blue lights activate with turning the throttle on this super-quiet and super-cool ride. With speeds up to 10 MPH and the tough design you expect from Razor, Glow is the way to go.

When you’re talking about innovation in ride-on electronics, you’re talking about the Razor Hovertrax 2.0 Hoverboard. The self-balancing “smart” scooter is better than a skateboard, more fun than a regular scooter, more challenging than riding a bicycle, and just plain cool. Sport collided with technology and delivered this awesome machine.

Sleek. Stylish. Speedy. The Razor E125 electric scooter is all that, and more. A powerful chain-driven motor will have your youngster moving on down the road. With performance features like a twist-grip throttle and front caliper braking, along with an adjustable height handlebar, this will be a favorite for years to come.

The Razor E300S is the top of the line electric scooter. The removable riding seat, super-sized deck, and wide pneumatic tires make it a comfortable ride. Powered by a chain-driven motor, it’s designed for performance with a top speed of 15 MPH. This is the luxury model scooter you’ve been looking for.

E200 from Razor is everything you expect an electric powered scooter to be. Full-size deck, pneumatic tires, rear caliper braking system, and chain-driven motor. This may be the ultimate discovery in your search for toys for 8 year olds. Getting from “Point A” to “Point B” has never been this much fun.

The Pulse Performance electric scooter is built for durability with ultra heavy-duty stem, frame, and rise bars. The chain-driven motor lets this baby cruise up to 8 MPH with a deck wide enough for comfort and a rear brake for easy stopping power. They’ll outgrow it before they can wear it out!
