What STACYC or KTM bike should I buy for my child?
The best bike depends on your child’s age, inseam, and riding experience. As a general guide:
- Ages 3–5: 12eDRIVE models
- Ages 4–8: 16eDRIVE models
- Ages 8–10: 18eDRIVE models
- Ages 10–12: 20eDRIVE models
- Adults: 20hDRIVE
Use the “Shop by Age” sections on this page to match your rider to the correct bike.
How do I know if my child fits the bike?
Fit is more important than age alone. Check:
- Inseam: Feet should comfortably reach the ground while seated
- Weight limit: Most youth models support up to 75–115 lbs depending on bike
- Seat height: Should allow a slight knee bend when seated
If your child is between sizes, it’s usually better to size up for longer use.
Do STACYC bikes have training wheels or pedals?
No. STACYC bikes are electric balance bikes with no pedals or training wheels. They are designed to teach:
- Balance
- Steering
- Throttle control
- Braking
This helps kids progress faster into real riding skills.
How long does the battery last?
Most STACYC bikes run:
- 30–60 minutes per charge (youth models)
- Up to 25–35+ miles (adult 20hDRIVE depending on riding mode)
Runtime depends on:
- Terrain (flat vs hills)
- Rider weight
- Speed mode used
How long does it take to charge the battery?
- Youth models: 30–60 minutes
- Larger models (18e/20e): up to 1.5–3 hours depending on system
Can I buy extra batteries?
Yes—and it’s highly recommended.
Extra batteries allow:
- Longer ride sessions
- Faster turnaround at events or trail rides
- Continuous fun without waiting to recharge
Are STACYC bikes safe for beginners?
Yes. STACYC bikes are designed specifically for progression and safety:
- Low seat height for stability
- Multiple speed modes
- Controlled acceleration
- Easy-to-use brakes
Parents can start riders in training mode and progress as skills improve.
Can I return a STACYC bike if I order the wrong size?
No. STACYC bikes are non-returnable, so it’s important to confirm:
- Age range
- Inseam fit
- Weight limit
