Overview

Introducing the 2017 Kuberg Start, a vibrant entry into the world of minibike-cross designed specifically for young riders eager to embrace the thrill of motorcycling. With its sleek lines and eye-catching white and red color scheme, the Kuberg Start not only captures the essence of adventure but also serves as a reliable platform for children aged 5 to 10 to learn the fundamentals of riding. As an electric minibike, it excels in safety and ease of use, making it an excellent choice for parents looking to introduce their kids to the sport in a controlled, environmentally friendly way. At the heart of the Kuberg Start is a robust electric motor that delivers 1.34 horsepower, providing a perfect balance of power and control. With a top speed of 24 km/h (14.9 mph), young riders can experience the excitement of speed without feeling overwhelmed. The 1-speed gearbox simplifies the riding experience, allowing kids to focus on mastering their skills without the distraction of shifting gears or managing a clutch. The air-cooled system ensures consistent performance, while the lightweight chassis, tipping the scales at just 21 kg (46.3 pounds), contributes to nimble handling and easy maneuverability, empowering riders to tackle curves and obstacles with confidence. The Kuberg Start is loaded with features that make it stand out in the minibike market. Its steel double cradle tube frame is powder-coated for durability, ensuring it can withstand the rigors of off-road riding. The bike is equipped with expanding drum brakes at both the front and rear, providing reliable stopping power that inspires trust in young riders. The spring fork front suspension and rear spring setup offer a comfortable ride, absorbing bumps and ensuring stability on uneven terrain. Additionally, with a seat height of just 390 mm (15.4 inches), the Kuberg Start is perfectly sized for smaller riders, making it an accessible choice for budding motorcyclists. **

Pros

  • Safety features: The electric motor and drum brakes offer a smooth, manageable ride, minimizing the risk of accidents.
  • Durable construction: The powder-coated steel frame is built to last, ensuring that the bike can withstand the rigors of off-road riding.

Cons
