The Coyote VX Mini Dirtbike for Kids: Designed to Dominate Terrain with Style and Safety
Give your young rider a premium motocross experience with the Coyote VX Mini Dirtbike 49cc, specially designed for children aged 6 to 10. This model combines controlled power, durability, and sporty design for thrilling yet safe rides. With its 2-stroke 49cc engine (1.6 kW) and a top speed of 40 km/h, this gas-powered mini dirtbike is perfect for learning the basics of riding while having fun on tracks or private terrain. At XtremRS, we selected it for its premium quality: steel frame, aluminum components, and refined finishes for exceptional durability. Ideal for demanding parents seeking reliability, performance, and enhanced safety.
Easy Start and Automatic Clutch: A Stress-Free Mini Dirtbike for Kids
No more struggling with starts! The Coyote VX features an aluminum Easy-Pull starter designed for small hands, ensuring smooth and effortless starting—even for children. Its automatic clutch (chain transmission) eliminates jerking and simplifies riding, making it perfect for beginners. The 3-speed system with adjustable throttle limiter (drossel) allows power to be tailored to the rider's experience, ensuring smooth progression. XtremRS Tip: To extend clutch life, regularly check chain tension and lubricate it after every ride (see our 49cc maintenance guide).
Sport Exhaust and Controlled Sound: Thrills Without Compromise
The Coyote VX's stainless steel sport exhaust delivers a powerful yet compliant sound while optimizing engine performance. Its compact, lightweight design reduces vibrations for enhanced comfort. Warning: Like all gas-powered mini bikes, a precise oil/gas mix (1:25) is crucial to prevent exhaust clogging. At XtremRS, we recommend using premium 2-stroke oil and cleaning the exhaust every 10 liters of fuel consumed (details in our complete guide).
Monoshock Rear Suspension: Comfort and Stability for Young Riders
The inverted (Upside-Down) front fork and Monoshock rear suspension of the Coyote VX absorb shocks with remarkable precision, even on rough terrain. This setup, typically found in high-end models, offers:
- Better road handling thanks to a lowered center of gravity.
- Progressive adjustment to adapt to the child's weight (up to 60 kg).
- Enhanced durability with sealed joints and corrosion-resistant materials.
XtremRS Expertise: Check shock pressure after each session and adjust preload based on terrain (explanations in our 6-10 years buying guide).
Front/Rear Disc Brakes: Maximum Safety for a Kids' Mini Dirtbike
The Coyote VX is equipped with hydraulic disc brakes on both front and rear, a rarity in this category that ensures precise and progressive braking. The aluminum calipers and vented discs (∅140 mm) provide optimal heat dissipation, even after repeated braking. For parents:
- Check pad wear every 500 km (minimum thickness: 2 mm).
- Bleed the hydraulic system annually to prevent air bubbles.
- Teach your child to modulate the rear brake to avoid lockups (see our safety tips).
Reinforced Swingarm and Chain Transmission: Unmatched Durability
The heat-treated steel swingarm and #420 chain transmission (with integrated guard) of the Coyote VX are built to withstand intense stress. Unlike low-end models, this system minimizes power loss and reduces breakage risks. XtremRS Tip:
- Check chain tension monthly (ideal slack: 10-15 mm).
- Lubricate with specific motocross chain oil after every rainy ride.
- Replace the chain and sprocket every 2,000 km to prevent premature engine wear.
Our maintenance guide details these steps.
1.6L Tank and Optimized Range for Extended Sessions
With its 1.6-liter tank, the Coyote VX offers approximately 1.5 hours of riding at full charge (depending on riding style), far exceeding most mini dirtbikes on the market. The quick-release cap and transparent gauge system allow for easy level checks. Warning: Always use fresh fuel mix (do not store for more than 30 days) and avoid fuels with more than 10% ethanol. Good to know: The tank is positioned low for optimal center of gravity, improving stability.
Ergonomic Handlebar and Safety Kill Switch: Total Control for Young Riders
The height-adjustable handlebar (590 mm from the ground) and non-slip grips of the Coyote VX are designed for a firm, fatigue-free grip. The emergency kill switch (wrist strap) instantly cuts the engine in case of a fall, an essential safety feature. XtremRS Recommendation:
- Adjust handlebar height so the child's arms are slightly bent.
- Check the kill switch cable before each use (replace every 2 years).
- Equip your child with reinforced gloves for better grip.
3-Step Speed Limiter and Compliance: A Mini Dirtbike for Every Skill Level
The Coyote VX offers a progressive speed limiter system (adjustable via the throttle grip) to limit speed to 20, 30, or 40 km/h. This feature is ideal for:
- Beginners: Start at 20 km/h to master the basics.
- Intermediate riders: Move to 30 km/h after 10 hours of practice.
- Advanced riders: Unlock 40 km/h on secured tracks.
Important: This mini dirtbike is not road-legal (for private tracks or circuits only). At XtremRS, we provide a CE compliance certificate and a 12-month warranty (parts and labor), along with a dedicated customer service to help you choose suitable tracks near you.

1. From what age is the Nitro Motors Coyote VX Mini Dirtbike suitable for a child?
This Mini Dirtbike is designed for children, but there is no legally defined minimum age. However, considering the seat height (59 cm from the ground), maximum supported weight (60 kg), and power (1.6 kW / ~40 km/h), we recommend use from ages 6-8 under adult supervision. It is essential that the child can maintain balance, reach the controls (brakes, throttle), and understand safety instructions. For younger children, a less powerful model or a non-motorized bike may be more suitable.

No, this Coyote VX DLX Mini Dirtbike is not road-legal. It is strictly for off-public-road use (private land, closed tracks, dedicated trails).
