French manufacturer YCF has introduced their very own electric balance bike range, designed in-house, including a 12-and 16-inch option.
The YCF Electric Balance Bike range is designed to introduce kids to motorcycles with two available models: 12-inch and 16-inch. Inspired by BMX designs, the bikes feature brushless motors for a smooth ride and come with a simple on/off switch, twist throttle with battery level indicator, and three selectable power modes (low, medium, fast) located on the motor casing.
The 12-inch model includes 12-inch wheels, a lightweight aluminium frame, a 170W motor, and 2x 24V 2.6Ah batteries. The 16-inch model features 16-inch wheels, a 250W motor, and 2x 24V 5.2Ah batteries. Both models come with a spare battery and a static stand.
Available in five colors—Red, Blue, Orange, Purple, and Green—the YCF Balance Bike range is expected to be released in November 2024.
