The Amped A10 is one of the most popular electric balance bikes on the market, helping children learn how to ride at an early age to teach them the fundamentals and basics of riding a motorbike.


So no wonder it quickly became a popular bike on the market!


Amped is now back with their latest electric balance bike, the older brother of the A10 which sees many new and exciting features.


Enter the Amped A16.


In this article, we’ll be taking a look at some of the exciting new features the Amped A16 has to offer!

Fully Integrated Rear Hub Motor


The Amped A16 is the first electric balance bike to feature a fully integrated rear hub motor.


This means that power is instant and in turn, creates less of drag has very little to no noise coming from the bike itself and is low maintenance which is perfect for Mums and Dads who aren’t very technically minded when it comes to fixing bikes!


The A16 is ideal for riding on dirt trails, or smooth surfaces where the bike can really perform to it’s maximum ability!

Rear Disc Brake


The new rear disc brake allows for total responsiveness when applying the brake. When your child is riding around on an electric bike, one of the most important factors is their own safety.


You don’t need to worry here as the rear disc brake is excellent and sharp allowing for a complete stop, even with the slightest touch the brake is super responsiveness which is excellent in case your child needs to stop immediately and safely.


The A16 rear disc brake really is a breaking system like no other!




Eco & Boost Modes


For a relaxing walk in the countryside, while your little one rides around on their brand new A16 bike, Eco mode is the best option.


Reaching speeds of up to 7.5mph it’s ideal for younger children who are just getting used to their new bike and who have never ridden an electric bike before. The Eco mode allows your child to learn the basis before stepping up to Boost mode!


Boost mode is limited to 12.5mph and is ideal for when your little one is ready to take the next step up. It almost becomes a brand new bike!


As they can speed away on long, straight flats, getting to grips of controlling the bike, pushing it to its limits! Although this is better suited for children who are more experienced on the bike and have been riding for months if not years!

Reviewing The Zero 10 & Gotrax G4 Electric Scooters



Recently we’ve been reviewing our range of quad bikes that we have on our website.

But this week we thought we’d take a break and review adult electric scooters instead.

And in this article, we’ll be taking a look at the Zero 10 and Gotrax G4 electric scooters.

As always, we won’t be comparing the two scooters against each other but instead, taking a look at each of the features that both electric scooters have to offer to help you make a better decision when it comes to buying an electric scooter.

Zero 10 Electric Scooter

The Zero 10 electric scooter starts from a 1000w powerful motor and leads up to a 2400w motor. It really depends on what you’re going to be using the scooter for which will ultimately impact which one you decide to go for.

With an optimal range of 70km with a top speed of 48km/h, it really is a great electric scooter for any occasion and is a true workhorse scooter.

The shock absorbers in the front steering column and the rear twin hydraulic suspension allow for an all-round fantastic ride that’s both smooth and offers precision handling.

So it may come as no surprise then that the Zero 10 is the electric scooter rivals are trying to beat, but the Zero 10 keeps on outperforming competitors and remains on top.

The Gotrax G4

The Gotrax G4 is the bigger brother of the former GXLV2 and whilst the GXLV2 proved to be a popular electric scooter amongst our customers, Gotrax came back and upgraded their scooter and launched the G4 with so many new and exciting features.

Gone is the 250w motor found on the GXLV2 and in comes the 300w motor that powers the G4. With optimal speeds of 25km/h and a range of up to 45km, the G4 is fun and exciting to ride!

Other features include a fully built-in digital lock, IPX6 level of water resistance and large 10-inch wheels that add durability and stability while riding.

All in all, this is a great electric scooter to ride that has seen numerous upgrades compared to its predecessor and will no doubt surely be as popular as the GXLV2.

Reviewing The New Releases: The Ranger 50cc And T-Max 70cc


With the release of the new Ranger 50cc and T-Max 70cc junior petrol quad bikes, we thought it’d be a great opportunity to look at some of the key features that these quad bikes have to offer to help you make a decision when buying one.

The Ranger 50cc Petrol Mini Quad Bike


Fun, fast and reliable, the Ranger 50cc mini petrol quad bike takes everything a quad bike should have and improves on it.

With an easy setup and start, you can pretty much ride this bike right out of the box!

The easy pull-start, improved carburettor and overall improved reliability mean that this is one quad bike you should seriously consider buying!

Let’s take a look at some of the key features of this bike.

Higher Grade Wheel Bearings

These give the quad bike and wheels much longer life and can handle the weight of your children as they continue to grow and get older.

This saves costs as you won’t need to find and fix a replacement.

Terrain

The Ranger 50cc is suitable for concrete, tarmac and mild off-road use such as gravel paths and flat grass. But this doesn’t mean that this is any less fun, you’ll see how much enjoyment your child will have riding one of these.

Rear Axle Safety Cover & Strengthening Bar

The last thing you want is an unstable and unreliable quad bike that is hard to ride and difficult to handle.

With the rear axle safety cover and strengthening bar, this allows for a smooth ride and handling for the rider.

The cover protects children from the moving parts and keeps them safe whilst riding the bike.

T-Max Roughrider 70cc Kids Quad Bike


One of the most loved quad bike brands on the FunBikes website, the T-Max is back again and this time they’ve released the Roughrider 70cc kids quad bike.

With a 70cc 4 stroke single-cylinder engine, a hydraulic rear disc brake and a push-button start, it provides everything your child wants in a quad bike.

And with safety features including a riders safety lanyard and a restrictable throttle, you can remain in control of the power and speed, ensuring that your children stay safe while riding.

Let’s take a look at some key features.

4 Stroke Single Cylinder Engine

The powerful and reliable 4 stroke single-cylinder engine that has featured in many T-Max models is back and just as good!

Fully robust, the engine starts via a push button with a fully automatic rev n go transmission and runs on unleaded petrol.

All in all delivering a product that is safe, simple and fun.

Restrictable Throttle

All parents naturally worry when their children start riding bikes, motorbikes and quad bikes. But with this restrictable throttle feature, you remain in control the whole time on how fast or slow the bike goes.

And your child won’t even notice anything different, they’ll still feel as though they are riding really fast and will continue to have hours of endless fun on the T-Max 70cc quad bike.

Riders Lanyard

Continuing with the safety theme, just to put parents’ minds at ease, the T-Max 70cc comes fully equipped with a riders lanyard.

This means that the rider can instantly “kill” the power of the bike by pulling the lanyard. And brings the bike to a safe stop.

Everything You Need To Know About The Brand New Kaabo Range


Everything You Need To Know About The Brand New Kaabo Range

With the brand new Kaabo range soon to drop at FunBikes, we couldn’t be more excited to see our customers ride around on these fantastic electric scooters.

Mostly available in two colours, red or black, we’ve got a wide range of models and variants for you to take a look at.

From the lowest model spec the Kaabo Mantis, to the top of the range Kaabo Wolf 2, we know you’re in for a treat!

Whether you’re a beginner or a pro, these scooters are perfect for everyone, regardless if you’re just starting our, or you’re a seasoned pro.

Let’s take a look at three of the most common features you’ll find across all these scooters and why they’re so good.

Speed

Really, it depends on which model you choose to go for, but all of the Kaabo electric scooters are impressively quick and can take on inclines, challenging terrain and other obstacles that you put in its way.

But looking closer at the different types of speeds:

Mantis 800w - Top speed 50km/h with an optimum range of 55km

Mantis 2000w - Top speed 60km/h with an optimum range of 70km

Mantis Pro 2000w - Top speed is 60km/h with a huge optimum range of 90km

Wolf 2 26AH - Top speed is 80km/h with a huge optimum range of 100km

Wolf 2 35AH - Top speed is 80km/h with a huge optimum range of 150km

We can clearly see that Kaabo aren’t messing around when it comes to the speed of their scooters! Even the Mantis 800w is 50km/h which is more than enough to get from A to B in a decent amount of time!

And as you go further up the models, the more serious the scooters are, the Wolf 2 35AH model tops out at 80km/h and we know for a fact, there’s plenty of fun to be had with that amount of speed!

But it comes down to what you’re most comfortable with and how you will use your Kaabo electric scooter.

Braking

It’s hard to ignore the braking features available on these scooters.

The lower spec models have a Cable Operated and E Brake system on the Mantis 800w and for the 2000w a Semi Hydraulic and E Brake system. Impressive and responsive enough to bring the scooter to a complete stop without much effort from the rider.

But the higher-end models, from the Mantis Pro 2000w and up feature full hydraulic front and rear disc brakes, with the renowned "minimotors" controller which allows for extra advanced functions such as ABS, and regenerative braking.

This is exciting because when riding at such high speeds, the increase in the wheels locking up and causing a potential risk are decreased due to the ABS and regenerative braking system included in the scooter.

All in all, you will feel the scooter respond to you as you want to stop, it’s fully responsive so you can brake without much effort.


On Road / Off Road Tyres

Available on the Wolf 2 is the option for on-road and off-road tyres.

Depending on what you will be using your electric scooter for, we think this is a great feature giving riders the option to select which scooter and tyre type they would prefer.

Wanting to ride on smooth tarmac or go to a skatepark and try out some tricks? The on-road tyres have got you covered!

Looking to test the limits of the scooter and go riding on some dirt trails? Then the off-road tyre is more for you.

Whichever you choose, you’ll see how durable and sustainable these tyres really are!

Get Your Kaabo Electric Scooter Today

With so many great features, so many models - 5 to be exact with 9 different variants, it can be hard to choose the right Kaabo scooter for you.

But consider who it’s for, how they will be using it and you’ll already start to form an idea of which scooter would be most suited to the rider.

But don’t hesitate, we’d strongly advise on beating the rush and getting your brand new Kaabo scooter online from FunBikes today!

What Makes The M2R Dirt & Pit Bike Range Special?

M2R Racing bikes are a great option for all children who want to start riding their own bikes.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner, an intermediate or even an expert, there’s a bike for you from M2R Racing.

But what makes these bikes so special?

Why are they so popular?

We’ll be taking a look at some of the different models available, including the KMXR, KXF125 and then RF ranges to see why we believe they’re so popular.




4 Stroke Oil Cooled Engine

The M2R Racing bikes feature a YX Motorsports 140cc 4-stroke oil cooled engine.

The gearbox has been designed with a racing pattern in mind, purely for performance reasons. Effortlessly go from neutral at the bottom then 1-2-3-4 gears up.

And for quick restarts the engine is kick-in-gear, this is better because rather than having to shift and find neutral, your bike can be started in gear.





Vented Brake Discs

When you’re riding at high speeds you need to stop quickly.

That’s why with a vented brake disc, these bikes are so responsive and sharp when touching the brake.

Fitted at the front is the same twin pot hydraulic brake you’ll find on the spec supermoto race bikes, including a 220mm heat dissipating vented wavy front disc.

The rear brake is also hydraulic, a single pot, which is again coupled up to a vented 190mm wavy disc.

All in all, M2R bikes are so responsive to braking that even the slightest touch can slow your bike down.

Toned Gripped Seating

The last thing you want when riding your bike at top speed is to be sliding up and down the seat, struggling to maintain control of the bike and be comfortable.

Taken directly from motocross, these M2R bikes have a toned gripper seat included at no extra cost.

So when you’re taking a corner at speed, you can remain in one position, giving the rider full control over the bike at all times.

Furthermore, the material used keeps the rider comfortable and supported as they ride the bike.

We offer financing on all M2R Racing bikes, to make it easier for you to spread the cost without having to pay the full amount straight away.

We have all the different M2R bikes mentioned in this article for you to buy today, so take a look online and choose the right bike for you.
