My first e-dirtbike
Austrian off-road motorcycle legends KTM know that little rippers grow into big rippers, so getting them onto one of the brands iconic orange liveried bikes as soon as possible is the best way to get that brand loyalty burned into their DNA. The STACYC E balance bike is KTM’s answer. Yes, an e-balance bike, in 2021 anything with wheels can be e-powered! These 16in wheeled, tig welded alloy bikes use a twist throttle Li-ion battery power to propel the bike in three modes; low/training (8km/h), med/transitional (12km/h) and high/advanced (21km/h). At 9kgs, the STACYC is about manageable for most kids to lift after laying it over. They run for an hour with a 45–60-minute quick charge – perfect duration for a young body. KTM are smart to deliver the real feel (and thrill) of throttle fed moto power in a safe, manageable and authentic way. Oh to be five again…
Here’s a neat video by www.vitalMX with a first account of why e-striders area great first moto experience.
