What Orion Electric Balance Bike is Right for My Kids?

Hit the track with the Orion Moto Canada electric balance bikes, designed primarily for children/beginners 12 and under—now carried at all Martin Motor Sports locations. These bikes are equipped with an electric motor, battery, and an electric assist system, allowing riders to control their speed and balance.  

The Orion electric balance bike makes it easier to:  

(a) learn how to ride,  

(b) develop coordination and balance, 

(c) dip into motocross riding, and 

(d) have a thrilling and eco-friendly mode of transportation. 

If your child is struggling to get on two-wheels or is looking for a fun way to try motocross riding, these bikes are the answer! 

Are The Orion Electric Balance Bikes Safe to Ride? 

Yes, all Orion electric balance bikes are designed to meet the highest safety standards. Your child can enjoy a safe and fun ride, however, wearing protective gear (e.g., helmet, knee pads) and understanding their own personal limits is recommended to maximize safety and prevent possibly injuries from activity.  

At What Age Should You Start a Balance Bike? 

The Orion electric balance bikes are designed to fit a range of riders. Models such as the E12X and E12S can suit riders as young as 2 years old.  

A frequently asked question about balance bikes includes: “is a 4-year-old too old for a balance bike?” And the answer is no! The difference between a regular balance bike and an electric one is that Orion’s different models can provide fun throughout their entire childhood. Age 4 can be just the beginning; your child can continue to ride these bikes until they are 12 years old! *Sized accordingly of course.
