I think that's true but haven't been able to verify. I did hear from Lectric today that you can disable the throttle, which is really the biggest concern. If there's no throttle and I limit him to pedal assist then it seems like it will minimize the major risk.

Statistics. While they can be valuable they don't offer the whole picture. Using that logic we should never leave the house. The amount of children who die in car crashes (where they are just passengers) is much higher. I'm just offering a counterpoint. I understand the concern but I also...

Fair point, I suppose. Not sure I'd use that logic to make the determination, though. There are plenty of 7-10 year olds getting on 4-wheelers and dirt bikes. I'd probably be ok with him on one of those as well, depending on the reliability of the equipment. What I'm getting at, really, is more...

Certainly not a bad point. I know there are inherent risks. What I'm wondering is, are there logical ways to mitigate those risks? My son has been using an electric (mini?) Segway, capable of 11 Mph, for the past year. It's not a direct comparison but it's part of my overall consideration.

Heard back from Lectric. Lowest seat position is 24.5"

He's a pretty tall kid for his age. Probably closer to the height of an average 8-9 year old. Does anyone know if the 31.75" listed on this site for "minimum saddle height" is accurate for the lowest seat position of the bike?

I have a 7-year-old son who I would like to put on an electrically assisted bike so that he can keep up when we go on rides as a family. I've often wondered if this was safe to do and also wondered if there was a bike out there that could work for both a child and an adult (for better resale and...

I'm really curious to hear what this Community thinks about the Stark brand and their latest bike, the Stark Drive Torque Max. I've been loosely following them for the past few months and am also becoming increasingly intrigued with the idea of an electric bike. I'm American but am living in...
