For a teen, the Windone RS5 is the electric dirt bike we would pick: listed for ages 13 and up, with three speed modes, a 1,080 Wh battery and a UL 2272 certified electrical system (per the Amazon listing). For a smaller teen, the YOFAST 2600W fits riders 3.94 to 5.91 ft, weighs 95 lb and carries a 2-year warranty.

Every pick lists an age, a rider limit or speed modes. Picks were compared on those, on battery certification and on top speed; CPSC's ATV safety guide advice on gear and supervision applies to every off-road machine.

Only bikes whose listings give an age, a rider range or speed limiting made the list. They were then compared on certification, top speed and warranty.

Choosing a teen's electric dirt bike

Speed modes

A teen's first bike should have a low mode. Droyd caps at 15 mph in its first mode; the Razor MX500 tops out at 15 mph. Fast bikes like the 38 mph QuietEase suit teens with riding experience.

Fit

YOFAST publishes a 3.94 to 5.91 ft rider range. A rider should be able to reach the ground with the balls of both feet and the bars without stretching. For gas alternatives sized to teens, see the best pit bikes.

Battery certification

CPSC staff advise only third-party certified devices and chargers. The RS5 lists UL 2272; YOFAST lists a UL-certified battery. Charge with the supplied charger only; the battery calculator shows minimum charge times.

Gear and supervision

CPSC's ATV advice is to take a training course and wear a helmet, eye protection, boots, gloves, long pants and long sleeves. Fit the helmet first: how to choose a dirt bike helmet.

What to skip

Skip adult bikes with no age line and 45+ mph top speeds for a first bike, skip passengers, and skip riding unsupervised on unfamiliar ground.
