RFN Warrior Electric Balance Bikes have won design awards in several countries and continue to be an industry leader. Future riders are proud to be an official retailer of these bikes, offering unrivalled technical support, the best prices and fast delivery in the UK.

The RFN Warrior is an increasingly popular collection of electric balance bikes, thanks to the ease of an all-electric option compared to the likes of a Yamaha PW50, how much kids love the design of these bikes, and the parental safety settings that provide peace of mind. The range comes in different models, with the RFN SX E-400 catering for riders aged 3 and above, whilst by the time you get up to an RFN Warrior SX -E700 R you have a top speed of 21.5mph with a sizeable frame.

Are you looking for the best electric dirt bike for your child? The RFN Warrior range is a great place to start. These lightweight, all-electric balance bikes are specifically designed to aid young riders trying to build balance, throttle control and confidence. As a parent, you'll be pleased to know that all of the RFN Warrior models are comparably lightweight, have parental speed modes and a magnetic kill switch which stops the bike if your child does fall off. Here's an introduction to each model, with age guidance and stand-out features.

RFN Warrior SX-E400; the best starter for ages 3–5.

If you or your child is a bit nervous about this decision, then its likely the RFN Warrior SX E-400 is the best choice for you. It offers a lovely gentle learning curve for parent and child, with three speed settings (5/8/15.5) mph strong mechanical brakes and solid front+ rear suspension this is a really approachable package. This bike is on the smaller side, hence we usually sell it to parents of kids who are between the ages of 3-5 years old. The seat height is 460mm and the bike is an impressive 18kg, making it ideal for smaller kids.

RFN Warrior SX-E500; a bike for more confident children to grow with.

The minimum seat height of the SX E-500 is 30mm higher than the previous model, at 490mm and the bike only weighs an extra kilogram. Once again there are three speed modes, but these are (9/13/18) mph which means the starting bar is higher. That said, the beauty of these speed controls is that each one is quite distinct and I'd argue, the perfect step up from the previous. The result is that the RFN Warrior SX E500 is a bike your child can really grow with. Once again it has a removable battery that charges within a few hours and will last for a good 75 minutes of excitable, thrilling riding. The safety features remain paramount to the bike. This is a bestseller with RFN and you can really see why as it looks amazing, and can be enjoyed for years. We've compared it positively to the PW50; there aren't many better compliments. If your child is reasonably confident and around the ages of 4-7 then this bike is a fantastic option.

RFN Warrior SX-E700 R; more headroom and hydraulic brakes.

For confident kids who’ll benefit from extra braking and headroom, the SX-E700 R introduces front & rear hydraulic discs (140 mm) and a higher-capacity 36 V 7.4 Ah battery (still 2–3 hour charge time). Speed modes step up to 9.5 / 15.5 / 21.5 mph with a 500 W motor (700 W peak), while the 490 mm seat height, 19 kg net weight and 14" Al-Mg wheels keep the bike approachable. Range remains up to ~11.5 miles / ~75 minutes depending on rider, terrain and mode.
