BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.

We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.

It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.

If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

Bottom line

The Hiboy DK1 is a kids' electric dirt bike with a 300W motor. Parents appreciate the measured acceleration and three speed modes, which make it safer for beginners. However, the bike can struggle on hills with bigger children riding. In testing, the DK1 handles mixed surfaces, though the tires wear quickly. Buyers complain about quality control issues; however, those who reach Hiboy praise the support. Electrical failures are unfortunately quite common, but buyers still feel the Hiboy DK1 is good value.

Hiboy DK1 Electric Dirt Bike Review

You can see it doesn’t quite have enough power to make it up the hill by itself all the way, but on level ground it does pretty well.

It’s exactly what you want as a parent because it’s super awesome, but it’s not so awesome that they’re going to get hurt on it.

The bike also comes in at an affordable price compared to a lot of its competitors, so you’re getting a lot of good features packed into this thing for the price.

It should be a little bit less intimidating for him as well without all the sound, and we don’t have to worry about mixing gas or anything.

Hiboy DK1 Electric Dirt Bike | Off Road Test and Range Test

Overall, I’m extremely impressed by the riding performance and range of the DK1. This isn’t an electric dirt bike that’s intended to compete with the likes of electric dirt bikes from Honda and KTM that cost thousands of dollars more.
