Best E-Bikes for Kids: Top 6 for Young’uns

The C1 from Himiway is an well-made, fun, all-round bike for children aged 4-12.

With 16″ fat tyres, it’ll comfortably handle the family off-road bike rides as well as the more uneven surfaces. And, with three speed settings of 7, 13 and 15 mph, it’ll do so reasonably -but not too- quickly, meaning they can keep up with the parents and the older siblings.

It’s also safe too. With a solid and reliable hydraulic braking system supported by an additional electronic braking system, you can be comfortable in the knowledge that your child’s bike is working to protect them.

And it’s made with great components too. With a lightweight aluminium frame that’ll easily stack in the back of the car alongside a versatile seat design to suit all behinds, it’s a great investment for an e-bike for a younger child. At under $800, it’s a pretty reasonable price too, especially considering it could last them up to 8 years.

The Haibike AllTrack Kids e-mtb is designed to provide younger riders with the necessary power and support to conquer any hill and enjoy long rides without feeling fatigued.

It’s got some excellent premium features, such as the Yamaha battery and drive unit which combine to give you 60 Nm of torque and a maximum speed of 20 km/h. Fast enough to keep up with the family, but not too fast as to be unnecessarily dangerous.

With 24″ wheels, it’s a bike for kids roughly aged 10 and up, but it will easily see them through a few years. And when we say see them through, we mean it. It’s made of some solid components, particularly the HardFour aluminum 6061 frame and SR Suntour XCR Lo forks, which will comfortably be able to handle what your kids can throw at it.

There’s no getting around the fact that it’s an investment, yes, but if you’re looking for a premium e-bike for your kids to get them to fall in love with cycling, then look no further.

The Woom Up 6 is the perfect pre-teen electric mountain bike. It’s built with high-quality materials and offers a smooth and sensitive support system from the motor that’s sophisticated yet child-friendly.

It features a Fazua drive system with a combined motor and battery unit making it compact and ultimately reducing the weight. The whole package is subtly integrated into the frame, giving it less of an ‘e-bike’ aesthetic.

Outside of the electric aspect, it’s got a super-light aluminum frame with butted hydroformed tubes for strength. It’s also got some neat features, such as the kink in the top tube for safe and easy dismounts.

For off-road riding, it’s hard to ask for more. With adjustable suspension forks that can easily be tuned for the day’s conditions, as well as having the bonus of a lockout function for uphill climbs.

Easy to operate, safe, and pretty rugged; what’s not to like?

The Hiboy BK1 Electric Balance Bike is designed for toddlers between the ages of 2 to 5 years old, who are developing their balancing and riding skills, as well as their coordination.

The best thing about the balance bike is that it eliminates the need for stabilisers, helping a toddler to learn the necessary cycling skills from an early age.

Its 100W motor allows the kids to enjoy power-assisted speed, capable of reaching up to a maximum speed of 9 mph, and has a max range of 6 miles.

It has an anti-slip handle and foot pedal, ensuring that the child can stay on the bike while riding it. The bike features classical brake levels on the front wheel and an e-brake on the rear motor wheel that helps the child stop the bike quickly.

Despite being an electric bike, the Hiboy BK1 Electric Balance Bike only weighs 8 kg, making it easy for the youngest riders to use the bike without power, like a regular balance bike.

The F-Play 26″ from Mondraker is a bike specifically built for teenagers leaning towards off-road and trail riding.

The F-Play 26 features a lightweight and durable STEALTH EVO aluminum frame, and also incorporates Mondraker’s Zero Suspension System, providing 120mm of suspension travel both at the front and rear for smooth riding.

With a focus on user-friendly design, the F-Play 26 comes with a one-piece bolt-on upper link, an integrated internal non-removable battery, making it convenient for young riders to handle and maintain the bike.

The F-Play is also equipped with an X-Fusion 02PRO R rear shock and X-Fusion Velvet RL 26 fork, offering excellent control and adjustability.

In terms of components, the F-Play 26 is equipped with reliable Sram Level brakes for confident stopping power. The drivetrain features Sram SX Eagle components, including the derailleur and shifter, offering smooth and accurate gear changes.

All things considered, it’s a pretty excellent bike for the price.

For any teenager looking for an e-bike that will see them all the way through to adulthood, look no further than the RadRunner Plus; the ultimate in utility.

The bike is equipped with a 750W motor that offers incredible power, allowing you to cruise up hills with ease, and a massive 48V Lithium-ion battery that delivers a range of up to 45 miles on a single charge, so you can travel further, faster.

The comfortable and customisable passenger seat and backrest feature make this bike perfect for running quick errands or cruising with friends and family. It’s also easy to adapt and subsequently cycle as if it were a cargo bike, making it incredibly practical for students.

It features a 7-speed freewheel, making it easy to adjust to slopes and a full-color LCD display that allows you to easily track your speed, distance, battery life, and other important information.

Whilst it’s too powerful for younger children, for most responsible teenagers this would be an excellent choice for an electric bike that in some instances can even replace the need for a car.
