Vida is charging ahead in the electric mobility game with a bold new entry: the DIRT.E K3. It’s not just any mini electric bike—this one is built specifically for young riders aged 4 to 10 years, combining safety, adaptability, and dirt-ready fun.
With adjustable sizing, smart riding modes, and a durable build, the K3 aims to be the perfect first bike that grows with your kid. Let’s look into what makes this off-road electric motorcycle so unique.
Design
The DIRT.E K3 has all the right proportions to look like a real off-road bike—but in a kid-friendly package. The short overhangs, raised seat, and balanced stance make it feel rugged and authentic. But here’s the cool part—it’s not one-size-fits-all. The K3 uses an adjustable sizing system that changes the bike’s overall dimensions as your child grows.
Here’s how the sizing breaks down:
| Size Stage | Length (mm) | Saddle Height (mm) | Wheelbase (mm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small | 1181 | 454 | 751 |
| Medium | 1264 | 544 | 834 |
| Large | 1342 | 631 | 912 |
So, one bike lasts for years—no need to upgrade every time your child hits a growth spurt.
Power
At the heart of the K3 is a hub motor rated for 10A continuous and 20A peak, producing about 0.68 hp and a strong 39.1 Nm of torque. That may sound modest, but for a lightweight off-road e-bike, it delivers just the right amount of grunt. It provides linear torque delivery, meaning no sudden jolts or jerks—just smooth acceleration, perfect for building confidence.
This makes the K3 ideal for learning basic throttle control while still feeling exciting enough for some backyard dirt fun.
Modes
Vida knows that every young rider is at a different stage in their journey. So, the DIRT.E K3 comes with three riding modes that parents can toggle between to control top speeds and performance:
| Mode | Top Speed (km/h) | Ideal For |
|---|---|---|
| Beginner | 7–8 | First-time riders |
| Amateur | 16–17 | Confident learners |
| Pro | 23–25 | Experienced young riders |
Parents can regulate performance even further via the Vida mobile app. It’s great peace of mind knowing you can keep things under control until your child is ready to level up.
Battery
Powering the K3 is a 48V NMC Li-ion 21700 battery with a 360 Wh capacity. It’s removable, which means you can easily take it indoors for charging—a big plus for urban families. Charging from 20% to 80% takes around 2 hours with the standard portable charger.
The full charging process depends on the ambient temperature, but the system is designed for simple home charging through a 230V socket. VIDA has chosen not to offer a fast charger, focusing instead on battery health and long-term reliability.
Braking
Safety is key, and the K3 doesn’t cut corners. It comes with a 160 mm flat disc brake at the rear, which offers controlled and predictable braking power. The front brake is optional and available as an accessory, letting parents choose the level of braking complexity depending on the child’s skill level.
Other safety features include:
- Magnetic lanyard kill switch – disconnects power if the rider falls
- Impact-absorbing components – built to withstand minor crashes
- Kid-sized brake lever – easy to grip and operate for smaller hands
Build
The K3 uses 16×2.4-inch tyres at both ends, built for grip and durability across different terrains. With a Modular PDC frame, the bike stays stable even as the frame scales in size.
The tyre pressure should be at least 7 PSI, with the max limits marked on the tyres themselves. Combined with a well-tuned frame and proper stance, the K3 gives your kid a stable ride—even when things get a bit bumpy.
Tech
The K3 isn’t just about mechanics—it’s smart too. Parents can use the Vida app to apply performance restrictions, adjust ride settings, and keep tabs on battery status. The electronically controlled throttle ensures smooth input, and there’s a focus on simple maintenance with features like:
- Over-moulded wiring harness
- Accessible charging port
- Modular parts for easy upgrades
