A Tennessee YouTuber bought the cheapest electric dirt bike on Amazon to see if the hype was real, but found many surprises, and not all of them were good.
The cheapest electric dirt bike on Amazon costs around $1,300-$1,400 and immediately came with some odd quirks, like strange fasteners and bright green bolts.
The inexpensive electric dirt bike might be purchased by parents for their kids, and the YouTuber pointed out some design issues that could make it potentially dangerous for children.
It certainly doesn’t seem like an adult setup, but he had fun building and operating the electric dirt bike, even if it was best suited to a teenager.

What’s the cheapest electric dirt bike on Amazon like?
This Tennessee YouTuber decided that he wanted to see what the cheapest electric dirt bike on Amazon was like and how it drives, so he filmed a long video review.
He ordered it for around $1,300-$1,400 and wasn’t expecting a huge amount of bang for his buck, especially as it came from a company he’d never heard of before.
When it first arrived, it came out of the box with messy cables, odd fasteners, and strange, big green bolts; the YouTuber also thought brands should bundle a full-face helmet with any e-dirt bike.
The e-dirt bike arrived with a basic tool kit, but the spanners bent, and he needed to mess with the bar alignment and lever angle to make it rideable for him as a full-sized adult.
It looked as though the brand expects kids to mod the dirt bike, because it came with a removable 48V 20Ah lithium pack, up front controller, and a proper 420 chain.
There were many surprises
The YouTuber thought that the bike was built for the size of a teenager, but if it was for a child or teen, the front axle relies on one nut and had no threadlocker included, so it could be seen as potentially dangerous.
After he got it up and running, he decided to unplug the brake-cutoff so that he could use the throttle and brakes simultaneously, but the bike defaulted to Eco mode, which is appropriately kid-friendly.
When he was concluding his honest review of the Amazon e-bike, he said that it should be treated as a dirt bike for kids, but definitely watch your children if you buy it for your child.
