7 reasons not to buy

VICTRIP markets the X9 for kids aged 6 to 14, but an 11-year-old finds the bike too small.
The brake levers aren’t reach-adjustable, and a six-year-old struggles to reach them.
A parent finds assembly challenging, especially installing the brake caliper and folding footpegs.
The X9 doesn't have lights.
At 50lb, young riders struggle to lift the bike when dropped.
The slow 1.5A charger takes around five hours to charge the battery.

Bottom line

VICTRIP’s kids’ electric dirt bike, the X9, strikes a good balance between safety and speed. Kids enjoy the quick yet controlled acceleration, strong climbing power, and plush seat. Parents appreciate the lockable speed modes, but assembly is challenging, and the brake levers sit too far out for small hands. Also, the bike is advertised for kids aged 6 to 14 (or 39” to 60” tall), but older kids in the age range find it small. While the X9 could use some improvements, experts agree it offers good value.

VICTRIP X9 Kids E-Bike Review | It Ain’t All Good

Level 1 expert

Overall, I’m super satisfied with this bike. He’s able to ride it safely… [But] the distance from here to the brake is pretty far out. I would prefer some adjustment just so he didn’t have to reach for it so aggressively.

Best Budget Electric Dirt Bike for Kids & Young Teens: Any Good? (Review)

Level 1 expert

I’m actually surprised the suspension is doing as well as it does, even with a big guy like me. It’s still got some bounce and it’s not bottoming out at all, which [is] pretty shocking.
