One of the best ways to get a youngster started on motorcycles is an observed trials bike. Speeds are low, which increases safety, and a young rider can practice in a backyard that is modest in size. With the TRS On-E Kids trials bike, it makes home-riding even more practical, as it uses a nearly silent electric powerplant. Thanks to the use of many bicycle components, weight is kept to a minimum.

Although designed for riders from six to ten years old, the On-E Kids motorcycle is a sophisticated machine.

There is multi adjustable power modes, with a range designed to work for everyone from an inexperienced trial rider to an expert competitor. These will be fully variable pots that make fine adjustments easy and suitable for every type of rider.

The motor cranks out 24 ft-lbs of torque, which is impressive for a motorcycle that weighs just 55 pounds, and performs so competently.

The monocoque frame is made of cast aluminum, as is the swingarm. Suspension travel is nearly four inches at the front and 4.5 inches in the rear. The suspension has damping adjustments, as well as spring-preload adjustment for the DNM shock, which gets help from linkage.

Shod with Rebel XBike Trial block-pattern tires, the 20-inch front wheels will easily roll over most youth-level obstacles.

Braking is by Shimano, with MT400 hydraulic calipers working on a 160mm disc on each wheel.

Practical for use by novice trial riders, or the most highly accomplished young trials competitors, the TRS ON-E Kids.
