Kids’ Electric Bike Safety: Everything Parents Need to Know

Hi, I’m Paul, the owner of Kubbi. Safety is non-negotiable for me — and it’s built into how I choose every model we stock. Below is the exact checklist I give parents before their child’s first ride, with direct links to the bikes I recommend.

1) Choose the Right Bike (Safety Starts with Fit)

2) Gear Up Every Single Ride

Make protective kit a habit from day one:

  • Helmet (properly fitted)
  • Elbow & knee pads (especially for new riders)
  • Gloves (grip + hand protection)
  • Closed-toe shoes (no sandals)

3) Pick Safe Places to Ride

Start on smooth, flat ground — gardens, quiet parks, or dedicated tracks. I strongly recommend adult supervision for all younger riders.

4) Pre-Ride Safety Check (Takes 60 Seconds)

  • Tyres: Inflated and free of cuts.
  • Brakes: Firm and responsive.
  • Battery: Charged, secure, and connected.
  • Bolts & bars: Nothing loose, bars aligned.

5) Speed Modes & Progression

Use the lowest mode first, then step up as skills improve. The Kubbi Mini and K4 keep things beginner-friendly; the K7 Pro and K10 Pro offer more headroom once control is solid.

6) Post-Ride Care = Ongoing Safety

  • Wipe down frame and contact points.
  • Recharge after each session.
  • Check bolts and brake feel weekly.

My Quick Recommendations

FAQ

Which model should my child start on?
If they’re new to powered bikes or on the smaller side, begin with the Kubbi Mini. If they’re growing fast or already confident, look at the K4 or K7 Pro. Older, stronger riders can consider the K10 Pro.

How do I keep my child safe as they improve?
Stick to speed modes, raise difficulty slowly, and keep up the pre-ride checks. As confidence grows, bikes like the K7 Pro and K10 Pro provide room to progress.
