Our verdict

An electric balance bike for early riders with speed settings and a throttle for assist on demand. Battery life is short as listed, and the minimum height figure looks unclear.

Overview

Gliding on two wheels without pedals, a young rider on this electric balance bike steers and uses a throttle for powered assist on demand. A rigid aluminum frame carries the battery and a drum brake.

Speed settings give room to grow with the rider, and the throttle only adds power when asked. The limits are the short listed battery life and a trail-use label that fits oddly with a small rigid frame.

Who it's for

Parents of beginners within the listed age span get an electric balance bike with battery and charger in the box. Families looking for pedals, or for long rides, should look elsewhere because the listed run time is short.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Several speed settings
  • Battery and smart charger included
  • Throttle assist on demand
Cons
  • Short listed battery life
  • Minimum height unit looks odd
  • Rigid frame, no suspension
  • Electric parts have a short warranty

Performance notes

A throttle on demand gives powered assist only when the rider asks for it, while the rigid frame and composite wheels pass ground texture to the rider. Run time depends on the battery capacity and the speed setting, and the listing states a short figure.
