Search for an electric mini dirt bike and you will find at least three different machines wearing the same label. Some are toddler trainers, the sort of kids electric bike that crawls along at walking pace. Some are scaled-down motocross bikes with a lead-acid battery. Others are 16 inch fat-tyre e-bikes with pedals, a 48V battery and a price over $2,000.
This guide sorts those groups out, then compares the four stocked minis in our range on power, battery energy and price. You will also find notes on who each bike suits, the road-compliant versus off-road choice on Ampd Bros models, and where small electric bikes can be ridden.
Three things "mini" can mean
Retailers use the word loosely, and plenty of shoppers type electric minibikes into search when they really mean a small youth bike, so check the spec sheet before you trust the label. In practice you will meet three types:
- Toddler and early-years minis: very light, very slow, built around parental controls. The EDBA Moto 50 is the example in our range.
- Mini motocross bikes: a small frame with motocross-style geometry and a throttle, usually no pedals. The Razor MX650 fits here.
- Mini fat-tyre e-bikes: 16 inch wheels, pedals or a throttle, a bigger lithium battery and sturdier build. The ACE Mini and ACE-X Mini PRO are in this group.
Each group answers a different question, and a childrens electric dirt bike with motocross styling is a very different purchase from a pedal-assist fat-tyre minibike. so the cheapest option is only the best deal if it fits the rider. If you are weighing minis against bigger youth bikes, our childs dirt bike options by age and price guide covers the next size up.
Four electric mini dirt bike options side by side
Here is how the four stocked options compare, using the specs on each product page. Energy is volts multiplied by amp hours, which gives watt hours (Wh).
| Bike | Price | Motor | Battery | Energy | Top speed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EDBA Moto 50 | $1,290 | 250W | 12V 7Ah | 84 Wh | 6 km/h |
| Razor MX650 | $899 | 650W | 36V 12Ah sealed lead-acid | 432 Wh | 18 km/h |
| ACE Mini | $2,390 | 250W continuous | 48V 15Ah | 720 Wh | 25 km/h pedal assist (road-compliant model) |
| ACE-X Mini PRO | $2,990 | 250W continuous | 48V 15Ah | 720 Wh | 25 km/h pedal assist (road-compliant model) |
Our electric mini bikes category lists the full range as stock changes.
Razor MX650: the budget mini motocross bike
At $899, the Razor MX650 is the lowest-priced bike here. It has a 650W motor, an 18 km/h top speed and a 32 kg frame, and the listing quotes up to 45 minutes of ride time. The age rating is 13+ with a maximum rider weight of 81 kg, so this is a small bike, not a bike for small children. The sealed lead-acid pack is heavy and holds less usable energy per kilogram than lithium, which is the trade-off for the price.
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+.
EDBA Moto 50: the walking-pace trainer
The EDBA Moto 50 is listed for ages 3 to 6 with a 30 kg rider limit. It runs a 250W motor and a 12V 7Ah battery, tops out at 6 km/h and weighs 14 kg. A parental remote kill switch and a key lockout are built in, so an adult controls when it moves, and a foam-padded frame is listed as part of the safety package. It is the right pick for a first lap around the backyard, and the wrong pick for a child who already rides confidently.
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.
ACE Mini: a miniature electric bike with pedals
The ACE Mini is a 16 inch Ampd Bros fat-tyre e-bike with a 250W continuous motor, a 48V 15Ah battery and a listed range up to 60 km. It has 65 N.m of torque, two-piston hydraulic brakes with 160 mm rotors, a 730 mm seat height and a fixed single speed. The listing includes parental controls and a 120 kg maximum load, so a bigger teen or smaller adult can ride it too. Frames come as step through or step over, with six colours.
ACE Mini Electric Bike (48V 15Ah / 250W)
Ampd Bros mini electric fat bike with 250W continuous, 48V 15Ah, range up to 60km.
ACE-X Mini PRO: more gears and suspension
The ACE-X Mini PRO adds a Shimano Altus 7-speed drivetrain and dual front and rear suspension, and lifts the seat height to 770 mm. The motor, battery, torque and brakes match the ACE Mini. The extra $600, the difference between $2,990 and $2,390, buys gears and suspension rather than more power or range, so ask whether your rider will use them. See the ACE-X Mini PRO listing for colours.
ACE-X Mini PRO Electric Bike (48V 15Ah / 250W)
Ampd Bros mini electric fat bike with 250W continuous, 48V 15Ah, range up to 60km.
What you get per dollar
Price alone hides how much battery you are buying. A simple illustration divides each price by its energy in watt hours:
- Razor MX650: $899 for 432 Wh is about $2.08 per Wh, in a heavy lead-acid pack.
- ACE Mini: $2,390 for 720 Wh is about $3.32 per Wh.
- ACE-X Mini PRO: $2,990 for 720 Wh is about $4.15 per Wh.
- EDBA Moto 50: $1,290 for 84 Wh is about $15.36 per Wh.
The Moto 50 looks poor on that measure, but it is built around safety features and a very low speed, not capacity. The ACE bikes carry far more energy than the others, and the fat-tyre frame and pedals are part of what you pay for. Watt hours also do not account for motor power or weight, so use them as one input, not the whole decision.
Which mini suits which rider
Use this as a starting point:
- Ages 3 to 6, first ever ride: the Moto 50, with the kill switch in an adult's hand.
- A teen who wants a motocross feel on a budget: the Razor MX650.
- A confident child or teen who wants pedals, range and a lithium battery: the ACE Mini.
- The same rider who also wants gears and suspension: the ACE-X Mini PRO.
The stocked list will change over time, and so will prices, so always read the live listing. None of these is a substitute for fitting the bike to the rider, and whichever electric mini dirt bike you shortlist, a dirt bike for kids should always be matched to height and weight first. Check seat height, weight limits and listed age on each product page before you buy. Our kids electric dirt bike checklist turns that process into nine questions, and the sizing and safety guide explains fit in more depth.
Road-compliant or off-road: choose at purchase
The ACE Mini and ACE-X Mini PRO are available as a 250W road-compliant model, with pedal assist limited to 25 km/h and the throttle limited to 6 km/h walk assist, or as an off-road model for private property only. The choice is made at purchase and cannot be modified later. Add your frame, colour and model choice in the order note at checkout.
Rules vary by state, so check before you pick the road-compliant option, and keep in mind that the off-road model is not intended for any public road, path or park. The Queensland Street Smarts e-bike page and the NSW Government e-bike page set out the current rules for those states, and our e-bike laws overview points to the other authorities. Ampd Bros supplier terms apply to those bikes, including delivery by Toll Ipec with signature required.
The Razor MX650 and Moto 50 are recreational bikes. Keep them on private property and designated off-road areas.
Safety on small bikes
Small does not mean safe. Smaller wheels also drop into holes and ruts more easily than full-size wheels, so scan the ground before every ride. A mini bike has a short wheelbase and quick steering, so it reacts fast to a mistake.
Gear and supervision for every children electric bike
Basics for any rider include:
- A properly fitted helmet, gloves, boots and eye protection.
- Long pants and a long-sleeved top.
- An adult within sight and earshot for younger riders.
- A flat, clear riding area away from driveways, dams and livestock.
Battery care
For batteries, charge on a hard surface, never leave a pack charging unattended and stop using one that swells or overheats. The NSW Government lithium-ion battery page has plain guidance, and the Wikipedia overview of the pit bike explains how small off-road bikes grew out of motorsport paddocks.
Where to ride a miniature electric bike
Plan your riding spot before you buy. Backyards and acreage are the usual answer, and some clubs and off-road parks allow children's bikes with their own rules on age and gear. Ask the venue first. Public paths and roads are a separate question and depend on the model and your state. For a wider look at small off-road bikes without a petrol engine, read our pit bike guide, and browse fat tyre e-bikes and the kids electric dirt bike range to compare.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes an electric pit bike different from a mini bike?
A pit bike is a small off-road motorcycle, traditionally petrol, and the electric version swaps the engine for a battery and motor. Mini bikes cover a wider group, from toddler trainers to 16 inch fat-tyre e-bikes. Compare motor power, battery energy and wheel size on the listing rather than relying on the name.
Is there an electric dirt bike for sale under $1,500 for a child?
Two stocked options fall under $1,500: the Razor MX650 at $899 and the EDBA Moto 50 at $1,290. The Razor is listed for ages 13+ with an 18 km/h top speed, while the Moto 50 suits ages 3 to 6 at 6 km/h. Pick by rider age and size, not by price alone.
Is an electric bike safe for a six-year-old?
Safety depends on the bike and the supervision. The EDBA Moto 50 is listed for ages 3 to 6, tops out at 6 km/h and has a parental kill switch. Always use full gear, ride on flat clear ground and keep an adult close.
How much do electric dirt bikes for sale at mini size cost?
Stocked minis in this guide run from $899 to $2,990, and each listing shows its own power, battery and rider details. Larger youth bikes cost more, such as the OSET 20.0 at $4,290. Orders over $1,500 ship free, and paying with crypto or PayID takes 10% off.
Can my child ride an e-bike on the road?
Not by default. The ACE minis come in a 250W road-compliant version with pedal assist limited to 25 km/h, but you must choose it at purchase and check your state rules. The Razor MX650 and EDBA Moto 50 are for private property and off-road areas.
