The short answer
If you are buying a kids dirt bike for Christmas, start with the 50cc gas mini at $300, or $350 total with a helmet. Shipping is free to all 50 states, and same day pickup in Tempe is the local option. For a teen rider, look at the Sykeruns X5 at $975 and the Sykeruns X7 at $1350. We are a family owned mini moto and ebike club in Tempe, Arizona.
Order early if the bike has to ship
No delivery date is promised on a shipped bike, so leave a buffer if the bike needs to be there for Christmas morning. Our gift guide walks through gift timing in full, and our online buying guide covers what to check before you order. If you live near Tempe, same day pickup skips the shipping wait, and our Phoenix guide covers local pickup for the gas bike.
Pick the bike by rider, not by the holiday
The 50cc fits most young riders. It is a 50cc two stroke with pull start, it is automatic with no gears and no clutch, and it suits ages about 5 to 13 with a 170 lb max rider weight. Top speed is 32 mph, and a speed limiter lets a parent set it slower while a child learns. Our how fast guide explains the speed in full.
Fit comes before age. Use the size guide and the age guide to check the rider you are buying for, and use the cost guide to see the full price picture. Colors are black, blue, green, red and yellow, and black and blue are the colors parents ask for most.
For an older rider who has outgrown the 50cc, read the teen electric guide and the X5 vs X7 guide before you pick between the X5 at $975 and the X7 at $1350.
What to have ready before Christmas morning
- A helmet that fits well. The $350 total covers the bike with a helmet, and the safety gear guide covers the rest of the gear a young rider needs.
- Fuel mixed the right way. The 50cc runs on gas mixed with oil at 25 to 1, and the fuel mix guide shows the mix step by step.
- Time to set the bike up. The bike is about 90 percent built, with the front wheel and handlebar to fit with included tools and a video. The setup guide walks through it, and setting it up before the big morning means the first ride is not rushed.
- A legal place to ride. Every bike here is off road only with no title, and the Arizona riding guide names legal spots near Phoenix and Tempe.
After the bike is open
Start slow and keep the first ride short and calm. The first dirt bike experience guide covers day one, and our buying guide answers the questions parents ask us most. Every bike comes with 1 year parts support through the manufacturer. When you are ready, browse the 50cc collection for younger riders or the electric collection for teens and adults, and order early so Christmas morning is about riding, not waiting.
