  • Testers from ages five to eleven report a good fit.
  • Parents appreciate how the locked 15mph top speed and five speed levels accommodate riders of different skill levels.
  • An expert verifies the top speed at 22mph.
  • Reviewers relish the throttle’s quick response but smooth, gradual acceleration.
  • The display is easy to read and provides more information than other kids’ bikes.
  • Testers say the knobby 16” tires provide good traction on varied surfaces.
  • In testing, the ARC-I climbs steep hills with riders up to 100lb.
  • Reviewers are impressed by the bike’s durability after crashing.

7 reasons not to buy

  • Reviewers say the manual leaves out assembly details.
  • An expert complains that the stopping distance is long.
  • Testers say the slow acceleration may become boring for experienced riders.
  • Lighter riders find the suspension stiff, and the fork isn't adjustable.
  • The slow 1.5A charger yields lengthy charge times of around eight hours.
  • The 54lb bike may be too heavy for young children to pick up when dropped.
  • Several test bikes arrive with rubbing brakes.

Bottom line

The Tuttio ARC-I is a kids’ electric dirt bike for ages five to thirteen (4’ to 5’ tall). However, the bike performs best for riders under 11 years old and under 100lb. With a lighter rider, the bike can climb steep hills. Parents are happy with the selection of speed levels, which top out at 22mph. The mechanical disc brakes and full suspension work adequately for the price, with the understanding that it is a budget build. Overall, parents find the Tuttio ARC-I good value compared to other kids' e-dirt bikes.

Tuttio ARC-I First Ride & Test. Does This Electric Bike Work as Well as It Looks?

It has great balance. When I was on the single track I thought it was so easy. I was able to jump, go across slippery bridges, [and] I could go up pretty big hills with the power.

Tuttio ARC-I Review! The Ironman of E-Bike!

I like the suspension. I like how it feels good when you’re riding it, especially on the road. I like the power because we just made it through some sand.

Tuttio – ARC-I – 750 Watt Electric Dirt Bike – Unbox, Build, & Maiden Run

As you can see, you’re looking at a pretty non-intense acceleration, and that’s important if you’re wanting to keep your kids from getting in an accident. And that is with unlimited speed, we’re pretty much at the max speed [unlocked].

I Bought the Ultimate Electric Dirt Bike for Kids!

So, Tuttio advertises 22mph in mode 5; [that’s] accurate! It’s one of the very first e-bikes I’ve tested that actually goes the advertised speed.

I Bought a Fake Tuttio

… at the start, it has like no torque. The throttle is very snappy, and it is pretty safe at night since you got that big headlight and those LEDs with the back taillight.
