WE WENT ELECTRIC!⚡️| Torrot Electric Kids Motorcycles

- Our riding family is growing, and to help support our little riders, we brought two Torrot Electric Kids Motorcycles into the garage. Norah, our 8 year old, is on the Torrot Motocross One. While Liam, currently 9 years old, is on the Torrot Motocross Two. The electric kids dirt bike market is just starting to take off, and now that I've seen how my kids react to these bikes, I'm excited to watch electric motorcycles bring in an entirely new group of parents and riders.
Norah was hesitant to ride Liam's old PW50 when I knew she was capable, so I had her riding a Stacyc 16" for the past year and a half. Even after that much time balancing and twisting a throttle, she wouldn't ride the PW50. I decided to test a theory that she was just more comfortable on an electric bike, and so far that theory is proving true. She has flourished on the Torrot MX One. She jumps on the bike and rides herself dizzy in circles, only taking a break for food and water, or to play in the dirt. Now that I've seen how well she transitioned to the Torrot from the Stacyc, I believe these are the perfect next step for young riders after they have outgrown their Stacyc.
Liam is in that weird spot where he needs to be riding his KTM 65 more, but he's not thrilled with learning how to use a clutch. The Torrot MX Two, even though a bit smaller than his 65 two stroke, is giving him a bigger dirt bike to ride than the PW80 he was on. The confidence he is gaining riding at higher speeds is necessary as he continues to grow and ride bigger, more powerful, dirt bikes. Now that I've seen him riding it for the past four months, I wish the MX Two was the same size as other 65cc bikes on the market. It seems to fit right in-between the 50cc and the 65cc bikes. As the electric kids dirt bike market grows, this might be a misstep. We'll have to wait and see.
The KTM SX-E5 and the Husqvarna EE 5 look to be electric kids race dirt bikes. The Torrot MX One and MX Two, along with the introduction of the Honda CRF-E2, look to be bikes targeted at non-racers. The price point is a good bit lower than the Austrian brands, but they also look to be higher quality than the Chinese Electric Motorcycles. For the bigger kids, Stark Future has recently introduced the VARG, which looks to pick up where Alta Motors stopped.
The future isn't here yet, but the electric motorcycle market is growing quickly. Regulating the rules around racing will be important, and so will the ecosystem to support these bikes. The technology will move fast, and that will be hard for some. The powersports industry doesn't move fast, and they are typically wary to quick changes. Hopefully no one gets left in the dust created by these new bikes and new technology.

Those motorcycles are awesome also tell Liam I said hi
You have little riding buddy's!
They are the best ones I could ask for!!!
Really good video! Useful info, far better than the official Torrot videos and most others I’ve seen about Torrot so far.
Awesome video. I’m new to dirt bikes but love the outdoors. Looking for an activity I can share with the wife and kiddos. Looks like things are going in this direction.
Electric dirt bikes are going to make it a lot easier for outdoor enthusiasts to become dirt bike enthusiasts. It's been awesome to watch my youngest transition from scared to ride to asking me to take her riding. I think your family will love the sport!!!
It will be cool to see the electric technology Implemented into enduro bikes in the future. Great video Woody🔥
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video and excited to see where this electric dirt bike world takes us!!!
I’am amazed why you never said how long the charge lasts and how long to charge them ..that so important to point this out and even in the comments no one asked 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
You make a valid point. The amount of ride time can vary drastically on how the power settings are set and how the child rides. If it's at set to 100% power, and the child is full throttle in sand, you'll get less ride time than a child at 50% power who rides on hard packed dirt.
As for charge time, it seems to be about 2 hours for full-charge time if close to empty.
Good review. My grandson has a off brand cheapo and he loves it. One of these maybe the next step.
These would be the perfect next step from an off brand electric motorcycle.
Keep up the good work buddy. This is great. Holding it down for the Rad Dads out there!
🤘🏻🤘🏻 Doing my best!!!
I’m thinking to get the mx3 we are going don to the shop when it’s in stock! Can’t wait!
The MX3 looks SICK! I would love to get one for Norah as she is close to outgrowing the MX2. Liam is about to get on a KLX 140 or CRF 150. Let us know what you think of it once you have it in hand!!!
That was awesome!! your kids are the best :)
Thanks Lady!!!!! They enjoyed making this video WAY more than I thought they would!!!
@@SeatTime They are the new stars of SeatTIme!!
@@littlemissbrappypants I've got the grey hair covered. They can bring a little bit of youthful energy!
Looks like the neighborhood my sister lived in in Stillwater OK.
Suburbs North of Dallas, they all look the same 🤦🏻♂️
How are these holding up two years later?
We still have the MX2, which we're about to sell. We sold the MX1 about a year after making that video. Our youngest then moved on to the MX2. She's now outgrown the MX2, which is why we're selling. For her, they have been a GREAT way to get her on two wheels. Liam enjoyed the MX2 while he fit, but he's grown a lot and is on a CRF 150F now.
@@SeatTime thank you!!
How tall is your son in this video? Considering picking up a Moto 2 for my son. He started off on a PW50, then XR50, and we just got a PW80. However, he much prefers the silence of my Ultra Bee, and I think he might like this bike. Looks like a lot of ground clearance, but I’m not sure if he’ll outgrow it too soon. He’s about 52” and 60 lbs.
Electrics are the future. My son has been riding since 3 started on PW50. He now has a TTR-110E. I can't get him on it. He rides his moms Segway X-160 I can't get him off it. Its basically his bike now. Possession is 9/10 of the law. We have two Segeays X-160 & X-260 and KTM Freeride E-XC. Stark Varg is on order..
🤣 love the possession statement, and you are correct 🤣! I’m guessing the lack of noise and lack of vibration helps younger kids from being intimidated?!?!
@@SeatTime lack of heat too. That's a big deal no one wants to get burned
Another Solid Point! Has Stark updated y'all on timing for the Varg delivery?
@@SeatTime yep my Varg is confirmed now. I have a delivery date. Had to compete with Santa Clause. Santa won Stark is due 26 Dec 2022
@@lboughto So Epic! Looking forward to them being in the States next year so I can try to throw a leg over one!!!
I need one for Beckham!!
The MX One is the perfect bike to get after a 12" Stacyc!
What’s the RRP on the MX One?
MX One: $2949
MX Two: $2999
My 8 year old son has an Razor MX650 and complains it doesn’t have enough torque and isn’t fast enough. The 2 may be what we’re looking for.
The Torrot's are PERFECT as the next step forward for your kiddo!
Took one for a ride, awesome bikes, but ended up buying a Mototec 1500w pro dirt bike. Goes much faster 21-22mph stock. Can be upgraded to 72V. But not near the quality of these.
Keep us in the loop on how it works out for you!!! Enjoy #GettingSeattime!!!!
So after few months now had upgraded Mototech controller and grips etc. more power I am 175lb, I can easily jump a small hill, it’s about 33-35mph top speed this is with 48V stock battery, can go up to 40+mph w/72V
how much
2949/2999 $
plus tax and medical bills ?
I don’t get it they never had to pedal? No pedals ever? Oh what the kids are missing but to each parent their own choices.
You're making judgements when you don't see the full picture. We ride MTB's and Dirt Bikes. We got these to help Norah on the dirt bike side of things. For us, #GettingSeattime is all forms of two wheeled adventures 🤘🏻🤙🏻
DooDoo 🤣🤣🤣 💩
