The verdict
The Burromax TT250 (VoltRipper Score 79, ~$299) is the value standout of the budget kids' minis — a ~$300 bike that ships with front and rear suspension, a rear disc brake, and a two-speed 7/14 mph selector, the kind of hardware the cheaper Razor minis leave off. That's why it earns a 79 — higher than the ~$250 Razor MX350 and MX650 (both 72), and higher even than the pricier lithium TT750R (76). A quick note on that: the VoltRipper Score weighs value and fitness-for-purpose, not raw capability, so a cheap bike with a real chassis can out-score a faster, pricier one. The TT250 is the case in point.
The honest framing: this is a genuinely good budget mini held back by one thing — its battery. It runs a heavy sealed-lead-acid pack, so range is modest and charges are slow. Everything else is better than the price suggests.
Who it's for — and who should skip it
Buy it if you have a 6–10-year-old and want the most bike for ~$300 — real suspension, a disc brake, and a low-speed mode to start them safely. The 150 lb rider limit means it grows with the rider and a light adult can shake it down.
Skip it if you want fast charging and more range — the SLA pack is the weak point, and the lithium TT350R fixes exactly that for more money. Skip it too if easy big-box availability is your priority; the Razor MX350 is the more ubiquitous (if less capable) pick.
What you actually get
The TT250 runs a 24V / 250W motor off a 24V (2×12V, 7Ah) sealed-lead-acid pack — 168 Wh — through a chain, topping out at 14 mph with a two-speed selector that drops it to about 7 mph in low mode. The chassis is the story: hydraulic front forks and an adjustable rear mono-shock, a rear disc brake, and 12.5-inch knobby tires. Burromax claims up to 12 miles at a 100 lb rider, and the SLA pack wants roughly an 8-hour charge. It weighs about 54.6 lb with a 21-inch seat.
Where it wins, where it costs
Where it wins: the chassis for the price — full suspension and a disc brake at ~$300 is unusual, and the two-speed selector plus a 150 lb limit make it a bike a kid grows into rather than out of. That combination is why it tops the budget minis on our Score.
Where it costs you: the sealed-lead-acid battery. It's heavy, ~12 miles is a light-rider claim (a bigger kid sees less), and an ~8-hour recharge means one real ride per day. Burromax is also a smaller brand than Razor, and the rear disc's actuation (hydraulic vs cable) isn't stated on the product page.
Safety and age
The TT250 is rated from age 6, and at 14 mph in high mode it's genuinely quick for a small child. Start in low mode (7 mph), keep a helmet and full gear on every ride, supervise, and keep it off-road — like every bike on our board it's not street-legal (why). The two-speed selector is the safety feature here: use it.
How it compares
| Bike | Price | Top speed | Battery | Suspension / brakes | Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Burromax TT250 | $299 | 14 mph | 168 Wh SLA | Full / rear disc | 79 |
| Razor MX350 | $249 | 14 mph | 24V SLA | None / rear drum | 72 |
| Burromax TT350R | $649 | 17 mph | 240 Wh lithium | Full / rear disc | 76 |
| Burromax TT750R | $995 | 26 mph | 475 Wh lithium | Front / hydraulic | 76 |
Read the table as a ladder: the TT250 is the value floor — the most chassis for the least money. Step up to the TT350R for the same bike with a lithium pack (faster charge, more range), or to the TT750R for a genuinely faster 26 mph machine. Against the MX350, the TT250 wins on hardware and loses on availability.
Bottom line
The Burromax TT250 is the best-value rung of the budget kids' minis — real suspension, a disc brake, and a two-speed learner mode for ~$300, which is why it scores a 79, ahead of the cheaper Razors and even the pricier TT750R on our value-weighted Score. Its one real limit is the sealed-lead-acid battery; if slow charging and modest range bother you, the lithium TT350R is the fix. Ridden in low mode with a helmet and supervision, it's a lot of first mini for the money. Choosing across ages and budgets?

FAQ
Is the Burromax TT250 a good electric dirt bike for kids?
For the money it's one of the best-value budget kids' bikes we track — a ~$300 mini that comes with front-and-rear suspension, a rear disc brake, and a two-speed 7/14 mph selector, hardware the cheaper Razor minis skip. It's rated from age 6 with a high 150 lb rider limit, so it lasts past the toddler stage and a light adult can even test it. The catch is the battery: it's a heavy 24V sealed-lead-acid pack, so range is modest (~12 miles claimed at a light rider) and recharges take hours. If you want the same bike with a lithium pack, that's the TT350R.
Burromax TT250 vs TT350R — what's the difference?
The TT350R is the same idea with a lithium battery, and that's the whole difference: lighter, ~3.5-hour charge (vs ~8 for the TT250's SLA), ~20 miles (vs ~12), and 17 mph (vs 14), for roughly twice the price (~$649 vs ~$299). Buy the TT250 if budget is the priority and short rides between long charges are fine; buy the TT350R if you want faster charging, more range, and a bit more speed and will pay for the lithium pack. Both share the full suspension, rear disc, and two-speed setup.
How fast is the Burromax TT250 and what age is it for?
It's rated from age 6, with a two-speed selector: about 7 mph in low mode and 14 mph in high. That low mode is what makes it a sensible first real mini — you start a young or new rider slow and open it up as they're ready. The 150 lb rider limit means it isn't outgrown in a single season. At 14 mph it's genuinely quick for a small child, so supervise, start in low mode, and match the speed to skill.
Burromax TT250 vs Razor MX350 — which is better?
The TT250 (~$299) is the more capable bike, the MX350 (~$249) is the more available one. Both are 24V minis around 14 mph, but the TT250 adds full suspension and a rear disc brake where the MX350 has neither (no suspension, a rear drum), which is why the TT250 scores higher (79 vs 72). The MX350 counters with Razor's ubiquity — it's on Amazon, Target, and Walmart everywhere, with the deepest parts network. Pay ~$50 more for the Burromax if you want the better chassis; buy the Razor if easy availability and support matter most.
