By the numbers
A serious first e-moto for young riders. Real motorcycle components — hydraulic suspension, hydraulic brakes, moto-style ergonomics — not the toy-grade parts common at this price. Three progressive ride modes let riders grow into the bike instead of outgrowing it.
MX-tuned hydraulic suspension
120mm hydraulic fork and 65mm hydraulic shock, tuned by real racers with beginners in mind. Stays predictable over small chatter and absorbs hard hits without bottoming out. This is real motorcycle suspension scaled for a youth rider — not the cheap springs found on most kids' bikes.
Hydraulic DOT brakes, front and rear
190mm hydraulic disc brakes on both wheels. Real motorcycle stopping power and lever feel — not the cable-actuated mechanical discs typical at this price point. Teaches young riders proper brake control from day one. Built to handle the full 45mph top speed.
Three modes that grow with the rider
4.5kW peak power, but governed by three selectable ride modes. Mode 1 caps at 25mph for first rides. Mode 2 opens to 35mph as confidence builds. Mode 3 unlocks the full 45mph when they're ready. Parents can dial in the right amount of power for the right stage of riding.
Full moto seat and ergonomics
Premium foam seat with tear-resistant grip fabric, designed for real riding position changes. 28" seat height, 44.4" wheelbase, 11" of ground clearance. Riders can shift forward and back the way they'd ride a full-sized bike — building the habits that translate to bigger bikes later.
A real moto-style dirt bike for the next generation of riders
Most kid-sized electric dirt bikes are either underbuilt — weak motors, cheap suspension, plastic parts that crack — or they're scaled-down toys with no real off-road capability. Phase I is neither.
It's built by a motorcycle company that's been in the racing world for generations, with the actual engineering and component spec that implies. Real hydraulic suspension. Real hydraulic brakes. Real 4.5kW peak power. Real moto geometry.
We carry it because when parents ask us "what's a real first dirt bike for my kid," this is the most honest answer we can give.
Serious quality at an entry price
The Phase I is Forged 78's smaller-sized entry point into real e-moto riding. Built for smaller riders and beginners who want quality components without paying for a full-sized bike.
45mph top speed handles most trails without feeling underpowered, and under $2,000 is genuinely rare for a bike this well-spec'd — most bikes at this price cut corners on suspension, brakes, or motor.
Not the right bike for taller riders or anyone chasing maximum power. It's noticeably smaller than a Sur-Ron Light Bee or Arctic Leopard XE Pro S — if frame size or higher speeds matter to you, those are better calls.
