KUBERG
Kuberg Free-Rider
$3499
Unplug the Xbox, strap on your dirt helmet and boots, and go for a ride! Created specifically for teenagers, the all-electric, off-road-only Free-Rider is equipped with long-travel, downhill-mountain-bike-type suspension and 20-inch wheels that are capable of handling moderate motocross-style jump landings. A compact, powerful, lightweight motor delivers strong acceleration and a claimed top speed of 34 mph. According to Kuberg, maximum range for the Free-Rider is 31 miles. A full recharge takes approximately one hour.
Kuberg Cross
$1499
No gas, no oil, no hot exhaust pipe, no kickstarter, very little maintenance, and, maybe best of all, no noise. That's a pretty good description of the Cross, Kuberg's midsize all-electric motocross bike. Intended for younger riders who already have a little bit of two-wheel experience under their kidney belts, the Cross delivers instant torque for quick acceleration out of tight corners and up dirt hillsides. Like all of the smaller Kuberg models, the reasonably priced Cross can be picked up by most five-year-olds and carried or transported upside down. All Kubergs are built in the Czech Republic.
Kuberg Trial E/Start
Okay, the Trial E is intended for grade-school-age trials riders, but, thanks to its heavy-duty, steel tube frame, this tough little rock-hopper will support adults weighing as much as 220 pounds. That means you, Dad! A 990-watt electric motor delivers smooth, linear torque for snappy acceleration—just what junior needs to tackle steep hillsides and boulder fields. A magnetic kill switch is standard, and a five-step power button modifies the bike’s performance to suit your child’s progress. Also available: The Start, with a seat height of just 16 inches, is ideal for preschoolers learning to ride.
