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. The use case for these are more cross country or singletrack family fun missions that are long and/or cover huge elevation gains. For pedal and plunge (Enduro) riding with the kids where full suspension is needed, the better set-up is an ebike for mom/dad, nice light weight pedal full suspension bikes for the kiddos and tow ropes.
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

Turbo Levo SL Kids
Very refined hardtail for the kiddos. The specialized SL 1.2 motor with 5o 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.
