Same bike since 2018. Thousands of kids learned to ride on a Ride 10". Three things make it the bike Aussie families keep coming back to.
Steel frame. Sealed bearings. Replaceable parts for everything that wears. The Ride 10" launched in 2018 — same model, same build only a facelift since. Plenty of households are on their second or third kid riding the same bike. Big brother to little sister. Cousin to neighbour. The bike stays. That's the point.
Most kids learn balance bike-style — feet down, no training wheels. But not every kid is ready for that on day one. The Ride 10" ships with proper training wheels included, free, in the box. Use them for the first few sessions, then take them off when the kid's ready. No upsell, no extra purchase, no trip back to the bike shop
Mode 1 caps the bike at a gentle 8 km/h — the speed where a 3-year-old can build confidence without getting thrown. When they're ready, flip to Mode 2: 14 km/h, full power, the speed of a fast jog. The mode switch is positioned where small fingers can't reach by accident. The call is yours, not theirs.
A first electric motorbike that's actually built for tiny riders.
There's nothing quite like the moment a two-year-old realises they can drive themselves. Twist the throttle, off they go. The Zippi Ride 10" is built around that moment — and the thousand moments after it where they get a bit braver, a bit faster, a bit more themselves.
Most kids electric motorbikes start at age 5 or 6. The Ride 10" starts at age 2. That's not a marketing claim — it's an engineering choice. We built this bike around the smallest riders we could safely build for, and it's worked for thousands of Aussie kids since 2018.
The frame is sized for a two-year-old's reach (440mm seat height, fixed — kids this size don't need an adjustable seat, they need one that doesn't move). The included training wheels keep the bike upright while your kid learns the throttle and brake without the added challenge of balancing. Two speed modes — 8 km/h low and 16 km/h high — let you keep the bike at toddler-pace until they're ready for more.
The bike10-inch wheels, steel frame, 250W brushless motor with chain drive, rear hand brake (disc), twist throttle. 23 kg total — solid under a 2-year-old, light enough for the car boot.
Training wheelsIncluded. Bolt on, bolt off. Most parents keep them on for 6-12 months, then remove once the kid has the controls down.
Battery + charger24V (2x 9Ah lead-acid, built into the frame). 60-90 minutes ride time per charge. 2-3 hours to charge. Plugs into a regular 240V power point.
ColoursBlue, Red, Yellow, Orange, Green, Pink, Purple. The kid picks. (You'll be told the answer.)
We're two motorcycle families behind Zippi — Toby, Carmen, Laura and Mark. We built every bike in the range for our own kids first. They rode prototypes for two years before we sold a single Ride 10" in 2018. Eight years on, the same bike is in the same lineup — because it works.
When something goes wrong (it happens — kids are kids), you email an Australian family that owns Zippi bikes themselves. Spare parts ship from our Tasmanian warehouse. No call centre, no Shenzhen middleman.
The catchphrase is plain English: raise balanced kids. Bikes are how we do it.
Specs may evolve between production runs — the bike you receive will match or exceed what's listed here. Real-world ride time depends on rider weight, terrain and how hard they're hammering the throttle.
Bikes ship 90% assembled. Allow 15–30 minutes from box to first ride. All tools included.
Numbers are riding-fit guides — the inseam where most kids ride confidently, not the absolute minimum or maximum.
