The DS67 49cc Mini Dirt Bike: Kid-Sized Adventure, No Compromises
Discover the DS67 49cc Mini Dirt Bike, designed to offer young riders an authentic dirt bike experience, combining safety and thrills. With its 2-stroke 49cc engine and design inspired by professional models, this mini dirt bike is the ideal entry point to introduce children (from 6 years old, under supervision) to the joys of off-road riding. At RiderProShop, we have selected this model for its robustness, ease of use, and high-end features rarely found on machines in this category.
Mini Dirt Bike: Disc Brakes for Optimal Safety
Safety is our top priority. The DS67 49cc features a front and rear disc brake system, a rarity on entry-level mini dirt bikes. These brakes offer progressive and reliable braking power, essential for learning speed control with confidence. We recommend that parents emphasize the importance of anticipatory braking, especially on descents or loose surfaces. Expert Tip: Regularly check the wear of the pads and discs (every 10 hours of use) to maintain optimal efficiency.
Easy Start: An Easy Starter for a Frustration-Free Mini Dirt Bike
Forget about temperamental starters! The DS67 49cc is equipped with an aluminum pull Easy Starter, designed to be shock-resistant and easy to use, even for small hands. This system reduces the effort required and minimizes the risk of false contacts. Good to Know: Always use a quality 2-stroke gasoline/oil mixture (1:40 ratio) to extend engine life.
Sport Exhaust: The Sound That Inspires Champions on Mini Dirt Bikes
The sport exhaust of the DS67 49cc not only offers an aggressive look but also optimizes engine performance while producing a characteristic sound that will delight young riders. Made of durable steel, it is designed to resist corrosion and mud splashes. Caution: As with any mini dirt bike, we advise against non-approved exhaust modifications, which could alter performance and void the manufacturer's warranty (2 years on the engine from Nitro Motors).
Chain Transmission: Robustness and Simplicity for Your Mini Dirt Bike
The chain transmission of the DS67 49cc combines reliability and ease of maintenance. Protected by a reinforced plastic casing, the chain is less exposed to dirt and impacts. For maximum longevity, we recommend cleaning after each ride (with a dry cloth and mild degreaser) and light lubrication (motorcycle chain spray). RiderProShop Tip: Check chain tension every 50 km – excessive play can damage gears and reduce performance.
Kill Switch and Not-Aus: The Mini Dirt Bike That Thinks of Everything
The DS67 49cc features two essential safety systems: a handlebar kill switch (instant engine stop) and an emergency stop cord (Not-Aus) attached to the rider's wrist. These devices allow the engine to be stopped immediately in case of a fall or loss of control, a feature we consider non-negotiable for a mini dirt bike intended for young riders. Recommendation: Train your child to use these systems in a stationary situation before riding.
3-Level Throttle Limiter: A Mini Dirt Bike That Grows with Its Rider
Thanks to its 3-level throttle limiter system (adjustable via the throttle grip), the DS67 49cc adapts to the rider's developing skills. Start in "beginner" mode (limited to 25 km/h), then gradually move to intermediate and "expert" modes (up to 50 km/h). This progressive throttle limiter is validated by our technicians to provide safe learning. Note: Maximum speed also depends on the rider's weight and terrain conditions – always prioritize full protective gear (full-face helmet, protections) before increasing power.
Front Suspension and Rear Shock Absorber: The Comfort of a Real Mini Dirt Bike
Don't be fooled by its size: the DS67 49cc features front telescopic fork suspension and an adjustable aluminum rear shock absorber (spring preload). These components effectively absorb shocks on rough terrain, reducing rider fatigue. Terrain Tip: For jumps or very technical courses, slightly increase the rear shock preload (+1 turn) to avoid "bottoming out" of the suspension. RiderProShop offers additional spring kits to adapt the bike to the child's weight (feel free to contact us).
1. What is a mini dirt bike like the NITRO MOTORS DS67? Who is it for?
The NITRO MOTORS DS67 is a mini dirt bike (or dirt bike) designed specifically for children (hence its name "Kinder Dirtbike"). With its 49cc 2-stroke engine and compact size (8-inch wheels), it is ideal for young beginner riders (generally between 6 and 12 years old, depending on size and experience). It allows for an introduction to motocross or off-road riding in complete safety, thanks to adapted features like the 3-level throttle limiter (to limit speed) and the Not-Aus system (emergency stop).
2. Is this mini dirt bike street legal? Can it be legally ridden in France?
No, the DS67 does not have street-legal status. It is exclusively for private use on closed terrains (tracks, gardens, private paths). In France, to ride on public roads, a motorcycle must be registered, equipped with lighting, turn signals, etc., which is not the case here. Its use is therefore strictly off-road.
3. What is the maximum speed of this mini dirt bike? Can it be adjusted?
The announced maximum speed is approximately 50 km/h, but it depends on the rider's weight and conditions. To adapt the power to the child's experience, the DS67 has a 3-level throttle limiter system (adjustable via the throttle grip). This allows for progressive speed limitation (e.g., 20 km/h in beginner mode) and increases as skill improves.
4. What type of fuel does this bike use? How is the mixture made?
The 2-stroke 49cc engine runs on a gasoline/oil mixture. Here are the recommendations:- Gasoline: Unleaded 95 or 98 (avoid E10 if possible).- Oil: Quality 2-stroke oil (e.g., Motul, Castrol TTS).- Ratio: 1:40 (i.e., 2.5% oil – e.g., 25 ml of oil per 1 liter of gasoline).⚠️ Important: Shake the mixture well before refueling to avoid lubrication problems. The tank has a capacity of 1 liter, providing an autonomy of about 30-45 minutes depending on use.
5. Is the bike easy to start? How does the "Easy Starter" system work?
Yes, the DS67 is equipped with an aluminum pull "Easy Starter," designed to be simple and robust:1. Ensure the contact is on (key in "ON" position).2. Gently pull the starter cord (like a lawnmower) until you feel resistance.3. Release it to return to the initial position, then pull energetically to start the engine.💡 Tip: If the engine is cold, use the manual starter (without forcing) and avoid jerky movements. Once warm, starting will be easier.
