GPOWER 50cc Dirt Bike vs MotoTec Demon 50cc Kids Dirt Bike

The MotoTec Demon is the better starter bike. Its 2-stroke engine, automatic transmission and adjustable throttle limiter make it easier for a young or nervous rider, and the chromoly frame with front fork and rear mono shock soaks up bumps the GPOWER's simpler setup will not. The GPOWER counters with a 4-stroke engine that needs no fuel mixing, a higher 25 mph top speed and a 165 lb weight limit, so it suits a taller, heavier or more confident rider. Owners rate the GPOWER well overall, but the MotoTec's suspension and speed limiter are the features that matter most for beginners.

• Choose the GPOWER if your rider is older, taller or heavier, wants a faster 4-stroke bike, and you would rather not mix oil into the fuel.
• Choose the MotoTec Demon if you want a lighter, easier starter bike with real suspension and a throttle limiter you can dial down for a new rider.
