Kawasaki, the brand most recognized for its sports-focused motorcycles, announced the 2023 Elektrode, an off-road electric dirtbike for children. The bike is engineered for stability and balance to introduce new riders to the hobby of off-road biking. With wide, textured wheels and three adjustable speed modes, the bike situates itself as an excellent option for young riders.
The 2023 Elektrode boasts a 250W brushless motor, premium disc brakes, a 2.5 hour battery life, and a lightweight frame with a low center of gravity that allows riders to remain stable and secure while steering. This bike marks a first-ever for the automaker as it enters the children's electric biking industry.
One notable aspect of the Elektrode is that, despite its 2.5-hour battery life, the battery can be charged from any outlet, meaning it can be fully charged simply by plugging it into a car battery. This means that children can recharge their dirtbikes even while on camping trips.
