The upgraded Husqvarna STACYC 16eDrive electric balance bike for kids 4–8 is now available in NZ from BOYDS Motorcycles, featuring a new high-output brushless motor.
Husqvarna has brought a new level of fun and progression to the junior market with the release of the STACYC 16eDrive, a purpose-built electric balance bike designed to give young riders their first real taste of throttle control. Created and engineered in the USA by industry veterans, the STACYC range has quickly become the go-to stepping stone for kids who want to move beyond push bikes and toward real off-road riding.
The latest version features Husqvarna’s all-new High-Output Brushless Motor, delivering more torque, quicker response and stronger low-end pull than the original 16eDrive. With 20% more power and 10% more efficiency, the upgraded drivetrain allows confident young riders to explore more challenging terrain while keeping things safe and predictable.
Built for kids aged 4–8 years and weighing under 30 kg, the STACYC is incredibly lightweight at just 9 kg (including battery). The frame is constructed from TIG-welded, heat-treated aluminium, rolling on 16-inch composite wheels with pneumatic tyres for proper off-road traction. A 43 cm seat height ensures a comfortable fit for growing riders.
Youngsters can select from three power modes depending on their skill level:
- Low/Training: 8 km/h
- Medium/Standard: 12 km/h
- High/Advanced: 21 km/h
Run-time varies from 20–50 minutes depending on mode and terrain, and the battery recharges in as little as 45–60 minutes, meaning minimal downtime between sessions.
With its blend of durability, performance and safety, the Husqvarna STACYC 16eDrive is shaping up to be the perfect present for budding bikers — especially those who want to develop balance, throttle control and confidence before moving onto a petrol-powered mini bike.
The new STACYC Youth Electric Balance Bikes are available now from BOYDS Motorcycles, making them an ideal Christmas or birthday gift for the next generation of Kiwi riders.
