Electric Kids Dirt Bikes

[XXshawnXX]

I don't know if this topic has been covered yet but I am looking for reviews and insights on Electric kids dirt bikes?

I remember as a young dude, the thing that hurt the most was a bacon leg from crashing and the motor falling directly on my leg. I want to try and avoid that as much as possible with my kids.

Does anyone have their kids on any electric dirt bikes that they can share opinions on?

I know GasGas makes one that may be a bit tall for the kids but it's only like 61lbs compared to a crf50 which is 110lbs, Razor makes one (bleh?), I don't know who else?

Am I the only one that finds it ironic that GasGas makes anything electric?
(....and sorry, I'm no help. Both of my kids grew up riding motorcycles with engines and did just fine)

Interested! I've had my eye on an Oset 12.5 for quite a while, seems like a great low-key introduction to motos.

The new ktm is supposed to be out later in the year, though I'm sure it'll be pricey.

If its anything like all of their other bikes, It wouldn't shock me if they were $4,500

What has kept you from pulling the trigger? they seem to be fairly reasonable on pricing.

Their gas 50's are already that much. I don't know how much you feel like tinkering, but of all the dirt electric conversions that would be fairly easy and affordable, this wouldn't be too bad.

My daughter (5yo) *just* learned to balance on her pedal bike. I told he once she practices a bit more she'll get a motorcycle.

My 2 y/o has been on a strider for almost a year and his 4 y/o sister has been off of training wheels for about a year and they want to go ride with me. My little dude has short legs though so putting him on a bike with pedals will have to wait for a year or so. The kids and wife are camping right now and I get fun little pictures of her "Trail drawings" for when she gets a dirt bike...

I figured it would be fun in the neighborhood or camping for them but don't know if the two year old will grasp the concept of the throttle just yet? I think my daughter is ready but we'll see. I found an Oset at Motopia in San Rafael for a reasonable price. Heard the GasGas won't be available until closer to 2020.

I have been looking at them but everywhere you look they are sold out.

I've heard great things about the Ossets.

Stacyc is great. Got one for my kid when he was three and still hauls ass on it. Just upgraded to an xr50, he's five now

Where do you take your kid to ride?

 

[Pmd220]

Electric bike = anywhere, park, sidewalk... we also take it to Carnegie
xr50= carnegie

Interesting idea, electric "bicycle" on a motocross track. It is strange but I feel more comfortable sending a mountain bike on a big jump than my dirt bike.

Pulled the trigger on the OSET 16.0 I almost caught my face leaking when I saw how much fun she was having.

I had the same reaction when my girls first rode; the look on their faces of ..... wheeee!....freedom...
