Buying for a teenager

Two bikes they'll actually want to ride

Moped-styled, fat tyres, a proper bench seat rather than a saddle. These are the two in the range built for a younger rider — and the parts that matter are the brakes and the battery, not the styling.

Both ship 95% assembled with a 30-day home trial, so if it isn't the right one you have a month of real riding to find out.

Not sure which suits your rider? Call and tell us their age and your province — two minutes, honest answer.

Before you decide

How fast does each one go?

The Streetrod assists to 32 km/h and the Street X to 45 km/h. Every model's figure is on its own page in km/h. If you want a lower ceiling than the bike ships with, call before you order rather than assuming it can be changed later.

What are the rules where we live?

Minimum riding age, helmets and whether a bike counts as a bicycle at all are set province by province, not nationally, and they differ on motor power and assisted speed. Check your own province before you order — or call us with the model, your rider's age and your postal code and we'll tell you what we know.

Is a helmet required?

In most provinces yes, and for younger riders very often yes regardless of the rest of the rules. Wear one anyway. Both of these are quick off the line and a new rider finds that out at the first green light.

How does it arrive?

To your door, roughly 95% assembled. Handlebars and pedals are the usual jobs — 20–30 minutes with the tools in the box.

What if it isn't right?

There's a 30-day home trial. Ride it on your own streets, not a showroom floor. If it isn't the one, call us — and if the other model is the answer, we'd rather move you onto it than take the bike back.

Tell us their age and your province.

The rules for younger riders differ across the country, and we'd rather spend two minutes on the phone than have you find out after it arrives. Real people, weekdays 9–5.
