Dualways, the leading distributor of road-legal and off-road ATVs, off-road bikes and children’s electric bikes, has teamed up with AMPED for a new, larger-framed, e-powered kids balance bike.

Dualways launched its hugely popular AMPED A10 e-powered kids balance bike last year and has now expanded the range to include the all-new Amped A16, the first bike of this genre to feature a fully integrated rear hub motor. This new design means that the power is instant, creating less drag, no noise and very low maintenance.

The A16 not only bridges the gap between conventional youth balance bikes and motorcycles, but provides a stepping stone for young wannabe bikers to get a feel for controlling a bigger machine with a choice of two-speed settings; Eco and Boost mode. In Eco, the A16 is limited to 7.5mph. On Boost the bike is limited to 12.5mph.

On the safety front, the A16 is fitted with a rear disc brake to give excellent stopping power with the slightest input from the rider.

The A16 features an easily-removable 18V, 5.2Ah lithium-ion battery and is suitable for children aged five and over.
