Everyone remembers their first bike! Mine was a battered old Honda Scrambler, the decals had long peeled off, the engine coughed loudly and it'd only start on alternate Tuesdays.
After a quick whip around it’s fair to say none of the bikes from the AMS teams’ early years were quite as cool as KTM’s new 12eDrive and 16eDrive balance bikes.
These power-assisted machines are the perfect entry-level platform for the smallest riders with big aspirations. The twist and go throttle gives the rider the raw instincts of motorcycling and is sure to have them hooked for life.

KTM has released two models of the eDrive balance bike. The KTM 12eDrive is the ideal starter for kids who are growing every day. It has a low 33cm seat height allowing kids to learn to push, balance and coast before engaging the 3 staggered power modes. At just under 8kg, the bike can be handled easily by most young riders.
The KTM 16eDrive has slightly bigger wheels and more power than its smaller brother making it ideal for taller riders or those with more ‘miles’ under their belt.
