It gets my 7yr old about 12 miles of single track, which is plenty for a 7yr old attention span. 45 minutes brings it to full and he's ready to go back out. He progressed leaps and bounds over his KTM mini.
Very true! They are great for being quiet around the house and also the simple maintenance. But like you mentioned I couldn't stand the fact that it took so long to charge and the batteries are not swappable. If I could swap the batteries I wouldn't care how long it takes to charge but when the little guy wants to ride for another few hours this bike ends up getting parked..
@Mitch Shepherd thanks for your comment. My 5 year old will be on the EE5 now from the Oset MX 10 while my 7 year old has graduated to the Cobra FWE and Husky T65. I ended up grabbing the water plug for the EE5 from Nihilo. Lots of other parents were experiencing water errors and it was from pressure washing the bike at the bottom of the battery, there is an air vent there. My goal is to get my 5 year old onto a gas bike sooner than later.
I agree with your assessment, I ended up selling the Husky over the winter as it didn't work for a long day of riding. Enjoy the ride, Jared
We run it on mode 6, and it lasts 12 mins max. Full race speed.
We recently got one! My son is 5 & We put a lowering kit on it! He’s doing so good on it!
Good Morning, thanks for the comment! I have been able to wash this bike like a normal motocross bike without any issues. I am just cautious around the electrical components like I normally would be. I also dry it with the air compressor after as well. Thanks, Jared
Definitely washable, I even talked to Husqvarna about it and they specified only to not direct the pressure washer jet directly on any electrical connectors by the motor, throttle, and mode selector. I put a ziplock bag over the throttle and mode selector when I wash mine, but otherwise wash it in the same way I do any of my other bikes
We rode for hours on one charge. Set on ride mode 3, mostly part throttle, and decent dirt will yield really good range
Good Evening, thanks for the positive comment! This little guy is 48" tall and we lowered the bike for him.. I would say your boys height would be perfect for the stock height and not having to lower it. My older son also rode the bike (10 years old) and he is 59" tall. My 10 year old weights 75 lbs...I did notice the battery drained faster with him being bigger and also a better more aggressive rider... As the weather gets better here in Western New York we will be doing more reviews on this little bike!
Glad it helped you! I just raised it back up actually as we raced at a full sized MX track with it setup like I did in the video, then I wanted to try it at full height and the shocks adjusted to the “sport” settings to see if I did anything different. My boy didn’t seem to ride any different, so setting it up to where your kid is comfortable is probably the best option
Thanks for watching! That’s what I was hoping to achieve with creating these videos as these are amazing bikes. I have ours on the lowest setting in stock form, but further lowering can be accomplished by purchasing the lowering kit, which will make it low enough for a pw rider. Now that my boy is on the EE, I feel the PW50 was almost potentially dangerous because of how hard he was pushing it to make it do what he wanted it to do. Minimal suspension, minimal power, and low ride heights all created roadblocks to him learning the proper technique
We stick to mode 3 on our home tracks as they’re small. We can get about 45 minutes or more on 3. We raced it this past weekend on a full sized MX track on mode 5 (fastest, but without regen braking) and it only used between 30-50% of the full charge. Essentially it works like this: Mode 1 (slow): probably all day Mode 2 (backyard speed): a few hours Mode 3: 45 minutes to an hour riding at speed Mode 4: not sure, never used it Mode 5: designed for racing, which are from 10-25 minutes. I’d say 30-minutes if not wet and muddy
So far on mode 3 it’ll do 45-minutes to an hour, which is riding pretty aggressively on a track too. For trails, I’d say it would last a bit longer. On the faster modes I believe it’s designed to last about the length of a race, 20-30 minutes
