E-MTBs for Kids, but not here.

Bike makers at Eurobike will be targeting kids from 11 years old or even 8 years old in one case as a new e-MTB market with reduced power. I think that's great news.

But in the excessively governed UK that can't happen because we have a ridiculous 14 years minimum age limit. The fun will be reserved for the mainland European kids but denied to ours.

8 yrs old, 'Off road'?

Trouble is that most will have to use a road to get to where they can off-road. That's why the law is a pain, I can't see bike dealers risking selling the kids versions here while the law is as it is.

This is one best spec kids emtb I've seen. Lot lighter than factory middrive versions with excellent components. Replace rear wheel with normal one and you have excellent bike for racing.
