We've been airing this commercial at work for about three weeks...

I looked up the details, it's only rated for a rider of less than 140lb. Grrr.

I wonder what a 2-stroke from a yard trimmer could do in the thing...

Oh good, all the little kiddies will be tuned up for their license at 16 and wondering why they have so many tickets.

Those weight restrictions are over rated because of the lawyers. You can easily ride it. As stated in the ad "ride within your limits".

That looks like too much fun for kids. Better buy one for the nephew and keep it at my place so I can "supervise".

Not gonna get one for my daughter. I would rather she got a real kart and go to the track. Not get herself splattered on the front of the first non driving SOB that drove down her street when her mom wasn't looking.

Makes me want to build one with small turf tires and rip around my acre of land. Rallycross karting.

I was just wondering how it works. Looks from the color of the tires that it's got a different compound on the rear (prob'ly harder) than on the front.

We were actually thinking of a late-night series on the bottom floor of our parking garage..

I've always thought parking garage rallies would be a riot.

Actually, I'm kind of warming up to your rallycross idea...

MSRP of $299.99. We can build faster ones for less. How about a Challenge class?

In reply to friedgreencorrado: You are right, the back wheels are made of hard plastic and the front wheels are soft rubber. This is so that the tires do not wear out quickly as they obviously take a lot of punishment from all the drifting...:). You can read a fully review at http://razordrifter.org

Boy, this thing looks fast with all the motion camera work and fast cuts. In reality, it's probably good for five miles an hour.
