STACYC 16H DRIVE is the perfect stepping stone for young riders aged 4 and up who are ready to transition from balance bikes to their first powered ride. With a sleek design, durable construction, and a whisper-quiet hub motor, this model delivers a safe, confidence-building introduction to electric riding.
Designed for children with an inseam of 45.6 cm (18″) or more, the 16H DRIVE grows with your child. It can be used as a standard balance bike in non-powered mode to build coordination, before progressing to powered riding with twist-throttle control. Three selectable speed modes allow parents to tailor performance to skill level — letting little riders learn throttle control and balance at their own pace.
Powered by a 360 W brushless hub motor and a 20 V max lithium-ion battery, the STACYC 16H DRIVE offers up to 75 minutes of run time per charge. Its 16×3.0″ pneumatic tyres and cable-actuated rear disc brake ensure smooth control and stability, while the Inactivity Safety Shut-Off automatically cuts power after 60 seconds for added safety.
Weighing just 14.5 kg with the battery installed, the 16H DRIVE is easy to handle for young riders and features ergonomically shaped footrests for comfort. It shares the same 20 V max battery platform as other STACYC models, providing easy battery interchangeability and quick charging. With improved durability and intuitive controls, it’s the ultimate confidence-booster for kids discovering their passion for two wheels.
