The Rad Rod’s distinctive style pays homage to the classic garage-built ‘rat rods’ with its rugged appearance and lowered hot rod stance. This design influence led us to incorporate other inspired choices, such as grippy front wheels, slick rear wheels for drifting, and a hand-operated, paddle-style accelerator and brake that enables high-performance maneuvers like powerslides and burnouts. – Ian Desberg, Razor’s Vice President of Design and Development

The Rad Rod’s adaptability is a standout feature, allowing parents to customize the experience according to the rider’s skill and confidence levels. A top speed limiter switch empowers parents to select the appropriate maximum speed for their child: either 10 mph (16 km/h) in the “HIGH” setting or 7 mph (11.3 km/h) in the “LOW” setting.

The rechargeable 24V sealed lead-acid battery system offers up to 40 minutes of uninterrupted use, while the quiet 150-watt chain-driven motor guarantees at-home karting enjoyment.
