For most 8-year-olds, the Revvi 18-Inch is an excellent starting point. It’s lightweight, easy to handle, and features adjustable speed settings, making it a great fit for kids just stepping up from smaller bikes or looking for a bit more independence.
At 9, many kids are ready for a bit more performance. The Amped A20 is a solid option, offering a punchier motor and responsive handling. It’s ideal for kids who already have some experience with balance bikes or want to explore off-road riding.
At age 10, many children are ready for a more capable bike without going too large. The Revvi 18-Inch continues to be a top choice, thanks to its sturdy frame, adjustable ride height, and moderate power output. It’s ideal for kids who are growing but not quite ready for a full-size model. If your child is getting a bit taller and braver, the Stomp Ebox 1.6 is a fantastic choice that offers slightly more performance!
For 11-year-olds, the Revvi 20-Inch is a perfect upgrade. It offers more room, a larger frame, and increased power for kids who are becoming more adventurous. It's a great stepping stone toward full motocross-style bikes.
At 12, confident riders often benefit from top-tier performance. Both the Amped A20 Pro and Stomp EBOX 2.0 deliver advanced features, stronger motors, and larger frames, making them ideal for older kids with experience.
Most electric balance bike models in this collection offer speeds between 20–30 km/h, with multiple settings so parents can adjust based on their child’s skill level.
Absolutely, when the right bike is chosen for the child’s size and experience, they’re very safe. All our models have speed limiters, strong brakes, and stable designs. Always pair them with the right safety gear and supervision.
