A 50cc Engine Optimized for Learning and Performance – The Heart of this Kids Dirt Bike
The 50cc 2-stroke engine of the NRG50 RS is a concentration of technology designed to offer progressive power and immediate torque, without sacrificing reliability. With 9 HP and an automatic transmission, this kids dirt bike eliminates the complexities of shifting gears, allowing your young rider to focus on riding and fun. Air cooling and kickstarter ignition simplify maintenance, as detailed in our expert maintenance guide. The 1:20 gasoline-oil mix is optimized for clean combustion and increased engine longevity. For parents concerned with performance, this block-engine exceeds 350W to 1000W electric models in terms of torque and autonomy, as explained in our electric vs thermal comparison. A 1.3 L tank offers sufficient autonomy for sessions lasting 30 to 45 minutes, ideal for young riders.
Up-Side Down Suspensions and Hydraulic Dampener – Comfort and Control for a High-End Kids Dirt Bike
The NRG50 RS stands out with its Up-Side Down oil-pressured front suspensions and hydraulic rear dampener, rare equipment on a kids dirt bike that ensures optimal shock absorption. These premium components, usually reserved for adult models, offer exceptional stability on rough terrain and precise handling, even at high speeds. The inverted fork reduces vibrations transmitted to the handlebar, limiting arm fatigue and improving riding comfort. At the rear, the adjustable dampener adapts to the child's weight (up to 75 kg of useful load) for homogeneous behavior. These technologies, combined with a 220 mm ground clearance (good ground clearance), allow for easy obstacle passage while protecting the chassis. To prolong the lifespan of these components, refer to our suspension maintenance guide.
Ultra-Resistant Frame and Chassis – A Structure Designed to Last and Grow with Your Child
The NRG50 RS frame is made of high-strength steel, with reinforced gabelbrücken (gabelons) and handlebar fixings to withstand impacts and intense solicitations. The frame geometry, with a 960 mm wheelbase and a 730 mm seat height, is studied to offer a perfect balance between maneuverability and stability, essential for young riders in training. The lightweight alloy wheels (14" front, 12" rear) and 60/100-14 and 80/100-12 tires ensure optimal adhesion on all terrain, from sand to hard tracks. The high-end fairing design reduces weight (43 kg dry) while protecting mechanical components. To adapt this kids dirt bike to your child's growth, the handlebar position (610 mm width) and footpegs (380 mm spacing) offer a comfortable space. Find our advice on choosing the ideal size.
Hydraulic 2-circuit Braking System and High-performance Exhaust – Safety and Sound for a Premium Kids Dirt Bike
Safety is at the heart of the NRG50 RS, with a hydraulic 2-circuit braking system: front disc brake and hydraulic rear brake. This configuration offers progressive and precise braking power, essential for preventing wheel lockup and falls. The hydraulic calipers reduce the effort required on the levers, allowing small hands to brake effectively, even in emergency situations. The oversized exhaust with a deep and characteristic sound adds a sporty touch while optimizing gas evacuation for constant performance. To complement safety, we recommend our guide on mandatory equipment (full-face helmet, gloves, back protection) and our safety tips for 6-10 year olds. At XtremRS, each kids dirt bike is delivered with a 12-month manufacturer's warranty and dedicated technical support to answer all your questions about maintenance or settings.
1. Is this Nitro Motors NRG50 RS dirt bike suitable for a child? At what age can it be used?
Yes, this dirt bike is specifically designed for children. It's a "midi" model with a 50cc engine, ideal for young riders. We recommend this model for children aged 8 to 14 years, depending on their size and experience. However, it's essential that the child wears complete safety equipment (helmet, gloves, back protection) and is supervised by an adult.
2. What is the actual power of this dirt bike? Is the 6.6 kW engine too powerful for a child?
The engine develops 6.6 kW (approximately 9 HP), which is powerful for a 50cc engine but remains adapted for controlled use by children. This model is equipped with an automatic transmission, which simplifies riding (no clutch or gears to manage). However, we advise:- Limiting the first uses to flat and secure terrain.- Respecting safety guidelines (maximum speed of 31 mph, but adjustable via a restriction kit if necessary).- Training the child in basic riding skills before letting them ride alone.
3. Is this dirt bike homologated for road use? Can it be legally ridden in France?
No, this model is not homologated for road use in France. It's designed exclusively for off-road use (private terrain, circuits, closed roads). To ride legally on public roads, a homologated model (with license plate, lighting, etc.) would be required, which is not the case here. Attention: Using it on public roads exposes you to fines and confiscation of the vehicle.
4. What maintenance should be done for this dirt bike? Does the 2-stroke engine require special care?
Yes, a 2-stroke engine requires regular maintenance to ensure its longevity. Here are the key points:- Oil-gasoline mix: Strictly respect the 1:20 ratio (1 part oil for 20 parts gasoline). Use a high-quality 2-stroke oil.- Drain and lubricate: Regularly check the oil level in the dampers and Federbein (oil-pressured front suspensions).- Cleaning: After each use, clean the dirt bike (dirt, dust) to prevent corrosion, especially at the chain and hydraulic brakes.- Brake fluid check: Check the brake fluid and wear on the pads every 3 months.- Air filter: Clean it after each off-road session in dusty terrain.
5. Are the "Up-Side Down" suspensions and Federbein suitable for children?
Absolutely! These high-end suspensions offer several advantages for young riders:- Stability: Inverted front forks (Up-Side Down) reduce vibrations and improve handling, even on rough terrain.- Comfort: The Federbein absorbs shocks better than basic systems, reducing fatigue for the child.- Adjustability: These suspensions are often adjustable in pre-tension, allowing them to be adapted to the child's weight (up to 75 kg of useful load).This equipment, usually reserved for adult models, brings safety and durability for intensive use.
6. What are the shipping costs for this dirt bike? How long should we expect for delivery?
For this dirt bike (category "vehicle"), shipping costs are free from orders over 500€. Since its price exceeds this threshold, shipping is free.- Delivery time: Expect 5 to 8 working days after order confirmation.- Modalities: Delivery is made on appointment to ensure someone is present to receive the package (the dirt bike is shipped in a box, dimensions: 1155x380x605 mm).- Assembly: A pre-assembly is done at the factory, but a final adjustment (wheels, handlebar, etc.) may be necessary (allow 30 minutes with the provided tools).
7. Is this dirt bike loud? The "deep and characteristic sound" mentioned may be a problem in residential areas?
The NRG50 RS indeed has a louder sound than basic models, thanks to its large exhaust. This can be an advantage for children who enjoy the sporty aspect, but also a constraint:- Sound level: Approximately 90-95 dB (similar to a lawn mower), which can be disturbing in urban or residential areas.- Regulation: Even in private terrain, some municipalities limit noise pollution. We recommend checking local rules and avoiding prolonged use near homes.- Solution: There are optional silencers (not provided) to reduce noise, but this may slightly affect performance.
8. Can we adjust the maximum speed of 31 mph for a beginner child?
Yes, it's possible to limit the speed via two methods:1. Mechanical restriction kit: A restrictor can be installed on the carburetor to reduce power (available as an option from some retailers).2. Adjusting the oil-gasoline mix: Slightly increasing the oil ratio (e.g., 1:18 instead of 1:20) reduces engine power, but this is not recommended for long-term use.Attention: Any modification must be done by a professional to avoid voiding the warranty or damaging the engine.
9. What safety equipment is essential for this dirt bike? Where can I find it?
Safety is paramount for a kids dirt bike. Here's the minimum required safety equipment (not included with the vehicle):- Full-face helmet (ECE 22.05 or ECE 22.06 standard), ideally with a visor.- Reinforced gloves (arm and hand protection).- Back protection or jacket (with shoulder and chest pads).- Knee and elbow pads.- Riding boots with ankle protection.- Reinforced pants and jacket (abrasion-resistant fabric).You can find this equipment at motorcycle/motocross specialists or on our website (safety equipment category). Note: Safety equipment is not covered by the warranty (normal wear and tear).
10. What is the consumption of this dirt bike? How long can we ride with a full tank (1.3 L)?
Consumption depends on riding style, but on average, a 50cc 2-stroke engine like this one consumes approximately 2.5 to 3 L/100 km.- Autonomy: With a 1.3 L tank, the child can ride 40 to 50 km before needing to refuel.- Tip: Always carry a spare oil-gasoline mix for long sessions, especially on demanding terrain (hills, sand).- Attention: Don't let the tank empty to avoid damaging the fuel pump.
11. Is this dirt bike easy to transport in a car or trunk?
Yes, but this depends on your vehicle. Here are the box dimensions: 1155x380x605 mm (Lxlxh), for a weight of 50 kg (gross).- Compact cars: The dirt bike will fit in a SUV or hatchback (e.g., Dacia Duster, Peugeot 3008) with rear seats folded.- City cars: Difficult without partial disassembly (wheels, handlebar).- Alternative solution: A lightweight trailer or a bike carrier (with dirt bike attachment) is ideal.Tip: The box is designed to be handled by 2 people (weight distribution).
13. Is this dirt bike suitable for off-road competition (kids motocross)?
This NRG50 RS model is an excellent choice for beginners in competition thanks to:- Powerful engine (9 HP) for a 50cc.- Hydraulic brakes and Up-Side Down suspensions (performance close to pro models).- Robust frame (reinforced gabelbrücken and lenkerschellen).However, for intensive competitive use, we recommend:- Adding a protection kit (frame, cylinder).- Regular maintenance (more frequent oil changes, brake fluid checks).- Checking the competition regulations (some competitions require specific modifications).
14. What is the difference between this model and an electric dirt bike for kids?
