It gets my 7yr old about 12 miles of single track, which is plenty for a 7yr old attention span. 45 minutes brings it to full and he's ready to go back out. He progressed leaps and bounds over his KTM mini.
I agree! These kids are learning so much faster on an electric bike as it is easier to control and keeps the momentum up when the gas bikes might not be able to. Enjoy The Ride, Jared
I’m 15, I want to buy one just to have fun with. A fun little break from the big bikes, quiet, fun, and I can do wheelies and hop off curbs in the street.
Hi Jared, Yeah, I'm just down the Interstate in Pa at Rte. 89. We, my grandson and I just got out yesterday (Tues.) for a short ride and it is still very muddy out there. Hopefully soon it will start to dry up. Thanks for the videos. LaVern
They seem decent for riding around the house. Problem is, sometimes my boys do that for multiple hours at a time. Electric is way more convenient for my wife, if they ride when I'm at work, and I will never miss working on a little 50cc carb. I think I'd buy one if the battery was hot swappable.
Very true! They are great for being quiet around the house and also the simple maintenance. But like you mentioned I couldn't stand the fact that it took so long to charge and the batteries are not swappable. If I could swap the batteries I wouldn't care how long it takes to charge but when the little guy wants to ride for another few hours this bike ends up getting parked..
YOU ARE A LEGEND HELPING EVERYONE KNOW WHAT WE WERE ALREADY THINKING. Im happy to watch you nick name "Guinea Pig" lol. Keep the vids coming. Stay safe
Hey Good Morning, thanks for watching our videos! I don't think its possible to get that long of run time out of them, especially if the kid is racing this bike I think it could even drop down to 30 minutes with a faster more aggressive rider behind the throttle. Thanks, Jared
@@3SeasRecreation my son will be doing more trail riding and field land speed riding. It’s a shame the battery can’t be changed out for additional ride time. Thanks for the reply 👍🏻
Good Morning, thanks for the comment! I have been able to wash this bike like a normal motocross bike without any issues. I am just cautious around the electrical components like I normally would be. I also dry it with the air compressor after as well. Thanks, Jared
@@3SeasRecreation okay right on brotha. Thanks for letting me know about your experience with the bike. We have a ton of racing this season and a local track opened a kid's track so we'll be riding a ton too. Everything looks pretty clean until they water the tracks lol.
According to another UA-cam repair you can kill the motor with water ($1k). There is a gasket and bearing that needs to be replaced occasionally to keep it water tight. Also I’d keep the pressure washer out of the motor.
@Mitch Shepherd thanks for your comment. My 5 year old will be on the EE5 now from the Oset MX 10 while my 7 year old has graduated to the Cobra FWE and Husky T65. I ended up grabbing the water plug for the EE5 from Nihilo. Lots of other parents were experiencing water errors and it was from pressure washing the bike at the bottom of the battery, there is an air vent there. My goal is to get my 5 year old onto a gas bike sooner than later.
That's always problem with electric vs petrol & same in RC. Electric better & faster until it goes flat under an hour (husky Ee5 was double the price of the TC 50 mini 23 I purchased.) Cost scared me away+ thought of replacement battery costs

Glad to see you making videos jared!
Thanks! Enjoy the ride, Jared
Was that croom in the intro?
Good Morning yep we had this bike at Croom in FL! Enjoy The Ride, Jared

Thanks for watching! The plus side is that our next generation should be good mud riders! Enjoy, Jared
We run it on mode 6, and it lasts 12 mins max. Full race speed.
nice video would you know if it can do river crossing or upto what wading depth

thats a pretty fast charge!

The newer one as in EE2 is way better because you can switch the battery. I suspect there will be a new bigger one soon..
Oh wow that’s sick! I was bummed that wasn’t an option on these ones… Enjoy The Ride, Jared
Thanks for the informative videos. Can you get 2hrs out of a charge?

My son trail rides his on mode 3 and we get a little over 2 hours on a full charge.
My son has the EE 5, no issues with pressure washing?

I agree with your assessment, I ended up selling the Husky over the winter as it didn't work for a long day of riding. Enjoy the ride, Jared
NEVER pressure wash it! Big mistake there.
Nah, the pressure washer is just fine. Just don't get too close to the critical components.
