Buying a childrens dirt bike goes wrong in one of two ways. Either the bike is too big and the child cannot reach the ground, or it is too quick and the child either panics or outgrows the speed within a season. A dirt bike for kids is not a scaled-down adult bike, and the gap between a good fit and a bad one shows up fast. Both are avoidable if you size the bike to the rider and pick a power level you can control.
Think of this page as a parent's workflow for any childrens dirt bike. It walks through sizing, the four power tiers we stock, speed limiters, battery maths, protective gear and where children can legally ride. All specs and prices come from the product pages, and anything about road or park rules is a pointer to your state authority, not legal advice.
Start with the rider, not the bike
Product listings for any kids electric dirt bike give an age range, but children of the same age vary enormously in height, weight and confidence. Treat the listed age as a starting filter, then check the physical fit.
Check inseam and standing reach
Stand your child against a wall in socks, measure from the floor to the crotch, and compare it with the seat height on the listing. A child who sits on the bike should be able to put the balls of both feet on the ground, with the knees bent a little. If only the toes touch, the bike is too tall for confident low-speed control.
Handlebar reach matters too. Arms should be slightly bent when holding the grips, not stretched. Some bikes adjust, some do not, so check the listing before you buy.
Why age alone is a poor guide
Our youth range shows how wide the listed ranges are. The EDBA Moto 50 is listed for ages 3 to 6 with a 30 kg rider limit. The OSET 20.0 runs from ages 6 to 14. The Razor MX650 is listed for ages 13+ with a maximum rider weight of 81 kg. Those are manufacturer figures, so follow them, and if your child sits near the edge of a range, talk to us on the contact page before you order.
Matching power to your child's skill
Motor wattage is a rough guide to how hard a bike pulls, though battery, gearing and weight change the real feel. Here are the four stocked youth bikes in this guide, ordered by tier from gentlest to strongest. Each one is a different answer to the same question: how much power is right at this stage of learning?
| Bike | Price | Motor | Top speed | Listed age | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EDBA Moto 50 | $1,290 | 250W | 6 km/h | 3 to 6 | 14 kg |
| Razor MX650 | $899 | 650W | 18 km/h | 13+ | 32 kg |
| OSET 20.0 Racing Junior | $4,290 | 600W | 15 km/h | 6 to 14 | 22 kg |
| Torrot Motocross Two Junior | $3,690 | 1,500W | not listed | not listed | 32 kg |
The Torrot listing gives power, battery and weight but no top speed or age range, so ask us before buying it for a specific child. Browse the full range on our kids electric dirt bikes page or the wider kids electric motorbike category.
Tier one: toddler starter
The EDBA Moto 50 is a walking-pace bike. At 6 km/h and 14 kg, it suits a first ride on a flat lawn. It also has a parental remote kill switch and key lockout, so an adult can stop the bike instantly and stop anyone starting it unsupervised.
EDBA Moto 50 Beginner Kids Electric Motorbike (Ages 3–6)
The safest starter electric motorbike for toddlers aged 3–6. 250W motor, 6 km/h max speed, and foam-padded frame with parental remote kill switch.
Tier two: confident beginner
The Razor MX650 is the budget entry to a proper motocross layout, with a 650W motor and an 18 km/h top speed. It uses a sealed lead-acid battery, which is heavier and less energy-dense than lithium, and the listing quotes up to 45 minutes of ride time. That makes it an affordable first bike for an older child who wants motocross geometry.
Razor MX650 Electric Kids Dirt Rocket
Australia's most popular kids electric motorbike with 650W motor, 18 km/h top speed, and real motocross geometry for riders aged 13+.
Tier three: controllable skill builder
The OSET 20.0 Racing Junior is a trials bike. It weighs 22 kg, has a lithium battery and an infinite variable speed dial, and lets a parent set the maximum speed. A low top speed of 15 km/h does not make it basic, because trials riding rewards balance and throttle control.
OSET 20.0 Racing Junior Electric Trials Bike (Ages 6–14)
World-leading electric trials bike for juniors aged 6–14. Lightweight 22kg, near-silent motor, and infinite variable speed control.
Tier four: quick-swap and app controlled
The Torrot Motocross Two Junior has a 1,500W motor and a 48V 10.4Ah quick-swap battery. Speed and power are set through a Bluetooth parental app, so the same bike can start tame and be opened up as the rider improves. It is the most powerful youth bike in this group, so it needs the firmest supervision.

Premium European electric motocross bike for young riders with parental smartphone speed & power controls.
Speed limiters on a kids electric bike
A limiter only helps if you actually use it. Before the first ride, set the lowest speed or power mode, ride the bike yourself in a clear area, and only raise the limit after your child can start, stop and turn smoothly.
The controls differ by bike:
- EDBA Moto 50: parental remote kill switch plus key lockout.
- OSET 20.0: a variable speed dial plus a parent-adjusted maximum speed.
- Torrot Motocross Two: Bluetooth app limiter for speed and power.
- Razor MX650: the listing does not mention a limiter, so rely on supervision and clear rules.
Raise the limit in small steps, and only after a full session without a fall or a panic stop. Write down the setting you used so you can return to it quickly. A childs e bike with instant torque feels very different at the top setting than at the bottom, and children rarely tell you when they are out of their depth.
What the battery numbers mean
Battery capacity in watt hours (Wh) is volts multiplied by amp hours. It tells you how much energy a pack stores, and it is the fairest way to compare bikes with different voltages.
- EDBA Moto 50: 12V x 7Ah = 84 Wh
- OSET 20.0: 24V x 20Ah = 480 Wh
- Torrot Motocross Two: 48V x 10.4Ah = about 499 Wh
- Razor MX650: 36V x 12Ah = 432 Wh, in a heavier lead-acid pack
Listed ride times tell a clearer story than capacity alone. The OSET lists up to 3 hours, while the Moto 50 and Razor list 60 and 45 minutes. Real run time depends on rider weight, terrain and how much throttle the rider uses.
Lithium packs need sensible charging habits. Charge on a hard, clear surface, never leave a pack charging overnight unattended, and stop using a pack that swells or smells hot. The Queensland Fire Department publishes plain guidance on charging and storing lithium-ion batteries, and Battery University explains how charging habits affect pack life.
Protective gear and supervision for a childrens dirt bike
Gear is not optional on a dirt bike, even a slow one. A fall from even a small electric bike at walking pace on gravel still scrapes skin and knocks heads. A sensible kit for any child (or any childs electric bicycle rider on a dirt track) on an off-road bike includes:
- A properly fitted helmet that suits motorcycle or off-road riding.
- Goggles or eye protection.
- Gloves with palm protection.
- Boots that cover the ankle.
- Long pants and a long-sleeved top, with knee and elbow guards.
Whether you choose a bigger bike or a smaller one, our accessories range includes riding gear, and a good fit matters more than the badge on the helmet. Check that the helmet does not rock side to side and sits low on the forehead.
Supervision means an adult within sight and earshot, every ride. Teach the basics first: how to mount from the left, how to hold the grips, how to squeeze the brakes progressively and how to stop the motor in an emergency. Agree rules before the first session, such as where the boundaries are, what the stop signal is and when the battery gets checked. Younger children should ride only on flat, clear ground away from driveways, dams, fences and livestock. Keep sessions short, because tired children make more mistakes, and call time on the ride when concentration starts to slip.
Where a childs dirt bike can be ridden
Off-road electric dirt bikes are for private property and designated off-road areas. Do not assume a childrens dirt bike is allowed on footpaths, roads or in public parks. Rules depend on the model and on where you live, so check with your state authority. The NSW Government e-bike page and the Victoria Police e-bike safety page are good places to start, and our overview of e-bike laws in Australia points you to the right authority.
A quick shortlist: dirt bike for kids by age and confidence
Use this as a quick decision path, then confirm the fit on the listing:
- Ages 3 to 6, first ever ride: the Moto 50.
- Early primary, learning balance and control: the OSET 20.0 Racing Junior.
- Older child who wants a motocross layout on a budget: the Razor MX650.
- Confident rider who needs room to grow: the Torrot Motocross Two.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best kids dirt bikes for a first-time rider?
For a first ride, look for a low top speed, light weight and an adult-operated stop. The EDBA Moto 50 (ages 3 to 6) and the OSET 20.0 Racing Junior (ages 6 to 14) both give parents control over speed. Pick by your child's age, size and confidence, and compare the full list on our kids range page before you decide.
How much is an electric dirt bike for sale in Australia for a child?
Among the bikes in this guide, prices run from $899 for the Razor MX650 up to $4,290 for the OSET 20.0. Premium factory youth bikes cost more, such as the KTM SX-E 5 at $7,990. Orders over $1,500 ship free, and the 10% discount applies when you pay with crypto or PayID.
Is a miniature electric bike the same as a kids dirt bike?
Not always. A miniature electric bike can mean a small fat-tyre e-bike with pedals and 16 inch wheels, while a youth dirt bike usually has motocross-style suspension and no pedals. Check the wheel size, seat height, controls and listed rider age before choosing, since the two types ride and handle very differently.
Where can I find electric minibikes for children?
Browse our electric mini bikes category, which lists small bikes by price, power and battery, then compare with our kids dirt bikes. Read each listing for the rider age, weight limit and whether the bike is made for private property only. If you are unsure, contact us with their age and height and we will help narrow it down.
Is an electric dirt bike safer than a petrol one for a child?
Not automatically. An electric motor is quieter and the bikes here have no clutch or gearbox to manage, which can usually make learning easier, but instant torque catches new riders out. Safety comes from sizing, speed limits, protective gear and supervision, whatever the power source.
