24 INCH KIDS EBIKES
We are huge fans of electric bikes. We have had electirc commuter, cargo and mountain bikes for years now...and we love them. Mid drive bikes are the bees knees for torque and ride feel especially in the world of mountain biking. Some companies are now making lighter weight bikes for kids which opens up longer and farther bike adventures.
Rocky Mountain Reaper Powerplay 24
A 120mm/130mm full suspension mid drive ebike for kids! 40 NM 300W peak motor in a reach adjust and chainstay adjust chassis that also fits 26 inch wheels. We are testing this bike as we speak!
Weight: 41.5 lbs | MSRP: $4600 US | Min/Max Rider height: 4'2-4'7 | Where to buy: Rocky Mountain dealer
Woom Up 5
A cross-country hardtail with 250Wh battery and 250W motor capable of 55NM of torque. The premium Fazua battery/drive system is the best we have seen in a kids specific ebike. Mid drive and 36 lbs, the bike is manageable for kids to do epic adventures. 11 speed NX drivetrain, derailleur with a clutch, 80mm travel suspension fork and 130mm cranks round out the build. A longer wheelbase than normal woom bikes, the extra weight and 66 HA make it a very stable ride. OUR FULL REVIEW HERE
Weight: 36 lbs | MSRP: $3800 US | Min/Max Rider height: 50-57" | Where to buy: Woom
Turbo Levo SL Kids
Very refined hardtail for the kiddos. The specialized SL 1.2 motor with 50 NM of torque and a 320 Wh battery packs a lot of punch for kiddos and families in search of longer single-track and higher more elevation in their family outings. A 100mm RS Reba fork, dropper post, and hydraulic disc brakes make this a very capable XC touring machine. Great 2.35 inch wide tires, 365mm reach and 66 HA. The sweet spot for sizing is the 48-56 inch height range.
Weight: 37 lbs | MSRP: $3800 US | Min/Max Rider height: 48-60" | Where to buy: Specialized
I’m anxious to hear how you like the Rocky Mountain. My kids have the commencal e-bikes and have had a blast on them but really need full squish. How are they so far?
It’s pretty great but only 40 NM so it’s equivalent (at full power) to around adult trail mode when climbing if you have a full fat ebike…
