MotoTec Gazella 500W Kids Electric Dirt Bike

Rear-only braking is common on budget kids' bikes because it is cheaper to implement. A rear brake alone cannot match the stopping power of combined front and rear braking — physics dictates that braking force shifts weight to the front wheel, where more traction is available. Front and rear disc brakes on the Gazella provide shorter stopping distances and better control at 16 mph, which matters when young riders encounter sudden obstacles.

The 2x12V 12Ah (24V total) battery pack removes from the frame and has its own charging socket. You plug the charger directly into the battery, separate from the bike. This means you can charge the battery at a desk, in a cupboard, or anywhere with a standard outlet — without needing to bring the bike indoors or find a plug near where the bike is stored.

The Gazella has three speed modes: 5 mph, 10 mph, and 16 mph. Modes are selected with a physical key — the child cannot change the speed ceiling without parental involvement. The twist-grip throttle is variable within the selected mode, so the child still has control over acceleration within the ceiling you have set.
