Why not give your kids big and small what they really want this holiday season ... fun? Here are some great gift ideas with electric rides for little ones to adults from Razor.

The Razor E-Punk electric-powered micro bike is super compact and totally portable, perfect for rolling and ripping around the playground, or bustin' a ride to a buddy's house. With a rigid steel frame, 8" pneumatic front tire, and speeds up to 9 mph, it's an epic ride on a micro bike.

The new Power A5 is an upgrade to the 2018 Power A2. With adjustable handle bars and a new color, the Power A5 gives older kids and adults a great lightweight, foldable scooter option with speeds up to 10 mph; a run time of up to 40 minutes; and a distance of up to 6.5 miles.

This unique, foot-activated, electric-powered scooter amps up your ride, hitting speeds of up to 10 mph for up to 25 minutes of continuous ride time.

With the all new Crazy Cart Shift, younger kids can drive, spin, and drift like never before. Designed to be fun for riders of all skill levels, the Crazy Cart Shift's simplified drift system automatically engages so that riders can keep both hands on the wheel while focusing on steering and throttle control, just like the professionals.

Sure, you could keep this big-kid fun trike to yourself, but everyone knows that fun is funner with friends. Bust out the Razor Drift Rider electric drift cycle, find an open space, and, with one twist of the throttle, you're in the zone. When the 100-watt motor kicks in, you kick out for some crazy free-styling drift action at speeds up to 9 mph--and with up to 40 minutes of continuous power, there's plenty of time for everyone to take a turn.

The MX350 Dirt Rocket is a scaled-down, battery-powered electric moto-cross dirt bike for off-road racing. Large, knobby tires, twist grip throttle, hand-operated back brake, and chain-driven motor deliver top-notch performance. This scaled down, electric powered dirt bike is a fun way for younger riders to live out their off-road fantasies.

Cruise in style with this Euro-style inspired Pocket Mod. Featuring a high-performance, chain-driven electric motor and a vintage-inspired body, this beauty can reach speeds of up to 15 mph. The scooter also teams a pair of 12-inch pneumatic tires with a rear suspension system to ensure a comfortable ride. Other features include a retractable kickstand, variable-speed acceleration, a padded seat with hidden storage space, and a built-in battery that travels for up to 10 miles on a single charge. Fast enough for a quick trip to the corner store or a fun ride in the country.

Go green with the EcoSmart Metro Electric Scooter. Its pneumatic tube tires on spoke wheels let the rider experience unparalleled comfort and undeniable convenience. It includes a standard replaceable bicycle seat that you can adjust to a desired height for a personalized fit. This electric scooter has a top speed of 18 mph and can hold a charge for up to 40 minutes. It also has a bamboo deck. The frame features a powder-coated finish, which keeps it as new as when you first got it. Plus, the hip decals are pretty sweet.
