Our Team Tested The Best Electric Motorcycles For Kids And Teens In 2026

If you're looking for an electric dirt bike for your kid, it‘s important you get one you can rely on. These affordable options are incredibly durable.

Note: Prices were correct at the time of writing.

The dirt bikes I review in this article are simply fantastic (and make great gifts). But if your kids aren’t quite ready for a full-sized dirt bike yet, check out our Best Ride-On Cars for Kids guide. It features some fun, beginner-friendly options. Both dirt bikes and ride-on cars are ideal for kids who tag along on range days or outdoor trips. They give them something fun to do, while you’re practicing, setting up or taking a break.

Now that brings us to the main event. I’m talking about my ultimate ranking of the best dirt bikes for kids. Hope you enjoy reading it.

1. Razor MX650 - Best Electric Dirt Bike for Trails

KEY TAKEAWAY:

Makes maintenance dramatically easier than our gas dirt bikes.

RIDING EXPERIENCE:

After twenty years of riding bikes, I can officially say that I’ve tried out pretty much every bike on the market. Not only have I tried out trails through forests and hit the pavement at race tracks, I’ve taught myself everything about these bikes, from how to build them from the frame to how to service them. In other words, I know bikes.

BEGINNER EXPECTATIONS:

After reading all the reviews, some partially negative, I’ll come out and say it clearly, of course this isn’t going to compare to dirt bikes worth thousands of dollars. This baby is a quarter of the price, so adjust your expectations accordingly, but don’t lose hope entirely. So far, this electric bike is one of my favorites, and for a lot of reasons. With an electric bike, the maintenance is so much easier. You don’t have to change the oil, the brakes are so much simpler (think an actual bicycle) and there’s no carburetor. Seriously, this really can’t be more simple. A lot of used bikes cost this price, and this one is brand new, so keep that into consideration, too.

AGE RANGE:

I bought this for my eight year old daughter, despite the warnings that say this can’t be used for kids younger than teenagers. It’s really not that complicated, and I stand by the fact that it’s not meant for just teenagers. Think about it. This is safer than a fifteen-year-old driving an actual vehicle. So yes, even though it's designed for teens, this is the perfect dirt bike for 8 year olds. Moreover, based on my neighbor's experience with her kid, I can confidently say that this option can definitely pass also as a serious electric dirt bike for 10 year olds.

ADULT RIDING:

While I bought this for my kid, I admit, I love this thing maybe just as much, if not as much, as her. And I ride it just as often. I’ve tested it on the same paths I bring my actual dirt bike and seriously have zero issues.

HILL CLIMBING:

It is important to note that the gear for this bike is designed for flat ground, so when you try to take it up a hill, it loses most of the power. However, that might just be because I weigh more than my daughter. When she goes uphill it loses a little bit of power, but not nearly as much as when I do it. Fortunately, I know how to fix this so I can ride uphill (new rear sprocket for those wondering).

BATTERY LIFE:

I’ve read some reviews that the power sucks, but that hasn’t been my experience. My daughter can ride it for hours, and even with my weight, it still goes over an hour.

BOTTOM LINE:

It gets the job done, and is super rugged and has a durable exterior that has to withstand both me and my daughter falling off. One hundred percent, this thing is worth it.

2. Hiboy DK1 - Best Electric Dirt Bike with Speed Modes

KEY TAKEAWAY:

3-speed modes make this feel safer for younger riders.

BUILD QUALITY:

Talk about good quality! Some of it is indeed plastic like some reviewers have mentioned, but the outside frame is straight metal and it feels great. So it really is great for playtime, for adults and kids haha! The durability is just great, and it has no issues hitting those potholes or tree roots. I only wish I had a bike like this when I was a kid!

EASY ASSEMBLY:

Setup and assembly went super smooth, too. You just have to insert a few bolts and then you’re good to go.

REALISTIC DESIGN:

It’s super sleek and nice to look at. It looks like a real motorcycle and is awesome at teaching kids how to balance and steer.

MOTOR POWER:

I really liked that there were three-speed modes so it couldn’t go too fast, and those who were less experienced could go slower. You’ll need it, too. The bike was a lot more powerful than I expected, seriously. When I was putting it together, I hit the throttle too hard and it left a mark on my floor, so just be careful with that!

BATTERY LIFE:

I love how long the battery lasts, just over ninety minutes! It takes about five hours to charge, which really isn’t bad when you consider that other bikes can take an entire night to charge up. If it didn’t die, I’m pretty sure my kids would never get off it, so I actually really like that it’s electric. A gas powered one would get way too pricey with how much my kids like it.

BOTTOM LINE:

It’s durable, sturdy, has one of the longest battery lives (much longer than I expected) and has some really great safety features that really make me not have to worry about my little boy going crazy on this. The 300 W capacity and the design of it really make this stand out against cheap models. It’s one of the best bikes for the younger kids. Highly recommend it!

3. Razor MX350 - Best Electric Dirt Bike for Beginners

KEY TAKEAWAY:

My nephew picked this up surprisingly fast for his first dirt bike.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS:

I’m so happy I went ahead with this purchase for my nephew. Delivery was a lot faster than I expected, which was awesome, and from the outset, it has a sleek design, and just looks great in general.

EASY ASSEMBLY:

Took less than half an hour to set up. So, yeah, it really is super effortless to put together.

TOP SPEED:

The speed maxes out at fifteen miles an hour, which is not bad at all. It essentially means that I don’t have to worry about him going too fast.

BATTERY RANGE:

As an electric motocross bike, it’s rechargeable, which is so much easier to use. The battery lasts just under ten miles, averaging about 8 or 9, depending how long you charged it for. So it can last long enough to ensure a return trip home (just make sure to measure the distance in advance). And it's really super easy to charge. I don’t like it going down below fifty percent battery, so I recommend you charge it full at night since it takes a while to recharge.

SAFETY GEAR:

If you’re concerned about safety, I’d suggest going all out with a helmet, pads, and starting slow.

MOTOR POWER:

Powerful motor that has no issues riding up steeper hills and lasting for longer rides.

FAMILY TESTING:

My nephew loved it so much, I got one for my kids too. I personally tested it, and it's so stable and well-made, so I can safely state that this is an electric motorcycle for 10 year olds, and maybe even 12 or 13 year olds. Of course, it depends on the height and weight of your kid. Our 10 year old loves riding through the hood, and does it in style now.

BOTTOM LINE:

Overall, it’s low maintenance compared to a gas powered bike, so it’s also a lot cheaper to keep in good condition. My nephew loves this thing so much, and has learned a big lesson about responsibility (especially after the first night when he forgot to charge and it was going to take a longer ride to show it off to his friends. He never forgets to charge it now.) He also had to learn about safety in order for me to let him use it at full speed. He takes it really seriously, which I love, and I’m glad to have an opportunity to show him the importance of responsibility. This is a great beginner friendly electric motorbike, and I highly recommend it for the kiddos (and the adults who haven’t grown up!).

4. Razor RSF650 - Best Electric Dirt Bike for Pre-Teens

KEY TAKEAWAY:

Arrived almost fully assembled and was ready-to-ride in minutes.

PRE-TEEN RIDERS:

Even thought this is advertised for ages 16 and older, this is the perfect electric dirt bike for 12 year olds. Let me tell you why. With four kids, I knew I needed a good quality bike to keep them entertained. And when I say I have a lot of bikes, take my word for it. We have bikes for the tracks, for the road, for the forest, and all different sizes, too! Now when it comes to my younger kids, this electric bike is the best possible one I’ve found so far. By the way, my kids are 7, 9, 12, and 13 years old.

DELIVERY EXPERIENCE:

Shipping was super fast by Amazon, and it even let me set up a time frame to make sure it was delivered even when I needed it to. The box was in perfect condition too!

MINIMAL ASSEMBLY:

It’s a few hundred bucks more than my 2-stroke 47cc, but trust me when I say that it’s worth it. Why? Because when it’s delivered, it’s pretty much already assembled. You just have to connect the handlebars, and there you go! I mean it, you just had to slide in the handlebars which was easier than it sounds. Everything else was already put together. It only took like ten minutes to open out of the box and set up. And the brake handles were already installed and set up nicely, which was an added benefit.

RIDER WEIGHT:

It has a weight range between 50 to 200 pounds. I mean not really, but that’s how much my son and I weigh respectively, and it still worked for both of us. It can be a little jerky for the lighter riders, but I don’t really see any other downside. It’s all positives, really.

AGE RANGE:

Based on my experience, this is the perfect electric motorcycle for 12 year olds, and also for 13 year olds. Now, keep in mind that it does ride faster for lighter kids, and can take a little bit of weight gaining speed for heavier folk like me. My 14 year old son, for instance, was able to drive it at full speed and had no issues with the suspension and shock, it worked smoothly and just as it should.

BOTTOM LINE:

Razor really created a good looking bike and it performs so well. Brakes are solid, wheels are smooth, and suspension is great. So it’s really a great tool to teach kids how to balance and steer if they ever want to eventually ride on a real motorcycle. Just remember that although it’s small, it’s still a machine, so make sure you wear pads and a helmet!

5. HYPER GOGO EL7 - Best Electric Motorcycle for Small Kids

KEY TAKEAWAY:

I liked being able to raise the speed gradually as my kids got more comfortable riding.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS:

This electric motorbike exceeded my expectations! My two sons think I’m the coolest mom on the block now. They’re so in love with it and I love seeing how much fun they have!

ASSEMBLY NOTES:

The video goes with the manual, so just keep that in mind. There were some extra pieces that I still can’t figure out where they go, but I’d rather more than less!

TIRE & BODY DESIGN:

The directional tires are cool, but make sure you focus on the rotational arrow. The little gas tank thing comes off if you crash but it’s not a big deal.

SIZE & FIT:

It looks tiny at first, but my kids are both just under fifty inches tall and it fits them just fine! I think they have about another seven or eight inches before they outgrow it but for now it fits perfectly!

SPEED SETTINGS:

I love the speed settings so much. When they first started playing on it, we started with the slowest setting, which worked great on flat ground and short grass. The middle setting was better for them for climbing hills, and the fast speeding was for extra fun!

BATTERY LIFE:

Battery life was super great too. In nearly forty five minutes at the lowest speed, we lost about one battery notch, although the faster you go, the faster you’ll lose battery so just keep that in mind! Assembly was super fast, but definitely watch the video to give you extra help.

BOTTOM LINE:

Overall, my kids love this so very much, and I really couldn’t be happier. They’ve both started telling everyone else at school and now other parents are asking me about it, and I’ll definitely send them in this direction. I really can’t recommend this bike enough!

6. Razor MX350 - Best Budget Electric Dirt Bike

KEY TAKEAWAY:

The low seat height makes this easier for younger kids to control.

FIRST BIKE:

I decided to go all out with getting my son his own bike. This one was advertised as an electric dirt bike for 13 year olds. Honestly, it’s super durable and stable. My son already knew how to brake and use the throttle on my bike, while I dealt with the balance and steering, so he picked this baby up really easily.

BEGINNER FEATURES:

I’s great for beginners, but you’ll need something a little more upgraded if you want to do technical riding. Specifically, if you lightly touch the brake lever, the motor will shut off completely like a kill switch, and I think this is good for newbies.

PERFORMANCE:

The powerful motor is great through uneven terrain, hills, and even wooden trails and dirt paths. Just be mindful of super steep hills, it won’t work as well. There’s no real suspension, so it does get a little banged up if it falls, but that’s not terrible, because there’s a rear brake which definitely helps. However, my son is still taking it easy so avoids bumpier areas. Another thing, I like that the chain is covered so it can’t rip his clothes when he rides. And I also love that he can reach the ground when he sits on the seat, since it’s low, as that was the main reason I bought it for him.

LIGHTWEIGHT BUILD:

This bike is about fifty pounds, so it's light enough that when he does inevitably fall, it doesn’t crush him.

BRAKE REACH:

I have another son who's four years old. The brake is better suited for an adult, so it might be better suited for older children, as my four year old has to remove his hand to actually grab the lever. Once he manages to grab it, though, he has no problem holding onto it. You can adjust part of it so it moves a little closer, and I recommend that for the kids with smaller hands.

BATTERY LIFE:

The battery is simply amazing. It lasts over an hour non-stop moving. And with a top speed at 15 miles per hour, you really can’t beat that! Now, charging takes a few hours, so I recommend plugging it in overnight when the kids are sleeping.

PROS:

• Affordable

• Lightweight

• Power that is ideal for younger kids

• Perfect seat height for shorter kids

• Good battery

• Foldable foot pegs

• Durable build

• Very quiet

• Tires have a pretty good grip

• Rear wheel can lock on pavement

CONS:

• Lacking suspension

• Brake perch is better suited for adults

• Low power for steeper hills

• Recharging can take a while

• Swapping battering requires tools

BOTTOM LINE:

This is a great beginner bike if you’re not entirely sure how passionate your kids will be. I recommend it as a good starter before you drop thousands on what some of these projects can cost. It’s a great value for the cost, and I can see the whole neighborhood enjoying it. And the good news is that, by the time your kid outgrows it, you’ll know if his passion is real enough to spend the big bucks on a better quality, long lasting bike meant for more advanced riders. Great for the price point and younger kids. Definitely recommend!

7. Razor MX400 - Best Electric Dirt Bike for 7 Year Olds

KEY TAKEAWAY:

I liked that the motor cuts power if kids hit the brake and throttle together.

FAMILY RIDING:

My seven-year-old has been wanting to follow in his dad’s footsteps (he rides a Harley), so we decided to start him with a beginner bike, and this was a perfect starter option. I wanted him to understand the importance of taking care of his own things, so I bought this electric bike as a reward/teaching tool. Plus, I really wanted him to learn how to ride a motorbike! He’s about as adventurous as they come, so this was perfect for that purpose.

SAFETY FEATURES:

There’s no clutch, but I like that both the throttle and brake are on the correct side as a gas powered motorcycle, making it an easy transition. I like that as a safety feature, there’s a cut off that comes in when the throttle and brake and hit at the same time. Often, when a beginner rider panics, they usually react by hitting the brake and throttle at the same time, so this kill switch is a way to help them from hurting themselves.

PROS:

• As an electric bike, maintenance and upkeep is so easy. You don’t have to pay for gas, don’t have to change the oil, no carbs or plugs to fix or maintain.

• Because there’s no real engine, there's no parts that will get super hot and burn my son’s legs.

• For a seven-year-old it goes super fast, and you don’t really need more speed than this!

• Battery lasts a solid amount of time for a good run time.

CONS:

• I’m not a huge fan of the basic on and off switch that operates as a throttle. I don’t think it’s the greatest for beginners, however a controller and throttle bought after the fact could fix this issue, but this is really personal preference.

• Since it lacks a suspension, it’s super bumpy to ride off the pavement.

• I still feel like it’s a bit fast for a kid of my son’s age. A sprocket change could add extra torque for hills, while also limiting the fastest speed.

BOTTOM LINE:

Maybe I’m being a little picky with the cons, but that's just because my husband rides motorcycles. For a first electric bike, this one really does what's needed, and what’s most important is that my son loves it! So this really is an excellent option if you're looking for an electric dirt bike for 7 year olds. I mean, for the price, and how much my kid loves it, it’s awesome. Maybe it takes a bit of time to charge, but I just do it at night and that works. So as a first bike, it’s everything I was looking for and more.

8. Best Choice Ride On - Best Ride-On Motorcycle for Toddlers

KEY TAKEAWAY:

The realistic lights, sounds & styling really sold my son on it.

SHIPPING & DELIVERY:

It shipped really fast, and the packaging was amazing. I had to change the delivery location a day before I got it, and customer service was fast, and delivered it to where I needed it in time.

MISSING PART:

The one I got was missing a bolt, but it still worked just fine! Nonetheless, I contacted customer service. They asked for a photo, and shipped the missing bolt. I got it three days later.

EASY ASSEMBLY:

It wasn’t even hard to assemble. I’m an average sized woman who works out maybe three days a week and I put it together in under an hour.

SIZE & FIT:

My three year old is average size for his age and he loves this thing. I was nervous it wouldn’t fit him, but he sat perfectly on this bike. I think he will definitely have a few extra years on it since even my nine year old daughter can ride it, which is awesome because now I know what to get her for her Christmas.

FEATURES:

It has real, working lights, a siren (which can annoy parents, but it's worth it!), and even a radio! Yeah, he plays the same song on repeat, but his smile supersedes that.

EXPERIENCE:

My son was so happy when I gave him this bike, now all he wants to do is ride it, even in the snow! We’ve compromised with letting him ride it around inside until the snow melts, but it works great even inside. He loved it so much, I bought another for a cousin who also has a three year old. She says she put training wheels on it so that her son would have more balance, and it worked perfectly. She says she wishes it had a reverse button, but that’s okay! She reckons it will be good for her son for another two years.

PROS:

It goes slow enough that I don’t have to run after him, but fast enough that he still has fun. I do think we're pushing the limit for the age range, but it works great. It was also in his favorite color.

MINOR CON:

My son’s finger hurt from pressing the button after about an hour, but he may have been hitting it too hard.

BOTTOM LINE:

What a great value, for real! It really looks like an actual motorcycle and arrived in great shape. And, also, it’s durable, and has a speed that matches how fast I walk. Really happy I went with this bike. So this really is a wonderful option if you're in the market for an electric dirt bike for 3 year olds. It could also work well for 5 and 6 years olds, and even nine year olds (if they're not too big). However, if you're after a gift for teens who’ve outgrown these smaller bikes, our Best Hoverboards roundup features more advanced rides they might be into. I actually got one of those scooters for myself.
