What is a BMX bike? What does BMX stand for?

A BMX bike is a type of bicycle specifically designed for performing stunts and tricks, or for racing on specialized dirt tracks. They typically have smaller frames and wheels compared to standard bicycles, allowing for better maneuverability and control. BMX is an abbreviation for “bicycle motocross,” reflecting the sport's origins in imitating motocross racing with bicycles. BMX bikes are popular among riders who enjoy freestyle riding, including performing tricks in skateparks or on street obstacles, and those who participate in BMX racing competitions.

What is an electric BMX bike?

An electric BMX bike combines the classic BMX frame and style with an electric motor for added power and speed. It's designed for riders who want the agility and maneuverability of a BMX bike with the assistance of a motor for easier hill climbs, longer rides, and a boost of speed when needed. Electric BMX bikes often feature wider tires for added stability and grip, making them versatile for various terrains, including both trails and urban environments.

Can I ride an ebike off-road?

You can certainly ride ebikes off-road, but certain types of ebike will perform better than others. Taking an electric beach cruiser off-road, for example, isn’t a great idea. If you want to ride an ebike off-road, look for an electric BMX bike or a fat tire ebike. These styles of ebike are designed to navigate obstacles and handle rough, uneven terrain like mud, dirt, and gravel.

What are the advantages of an electric BMX bike?

The main advantages of an electric BMX bike over a normal ebike lie in the design and intended use. The BMX frame offers superior agility and maneuverability, ideal for tricks, jumps, and navigating obstacles. Its sturdy construction and extra-wide tires also make it more capable on rough terrain and trails. While a normal ebike prioritizes comfort and performance on paved surfaces, an electric BMX bike combines the thrill of BMX riding with the convenience of electric assistance, catering to riders seeking a blend of adrenaline and practicality.

What are the disadvantages of an electric BMX bike?

Electric BMX bikes do come with some drawbacks compared to normal ebikes. These are minimalist, performance-focused bikes, built for technical tricking. That means they’re less comfortable for long rides than other models—like electric commuter bikes—due to their smaller frames and focus on maneuverability over ergonomics. Their design, while great for tricks and jumps, is also not as ideal for carrying cargo or attaching accessories like panniers, baskets, or racks.

How fast do electric BMX bikes go?

Our Joe Rev Electric BMX Bike can reach a top throttle or pedal-assisted speed of 20 mph. If you pedal hard enough (or the hill is big enough) then you can certainly go faster than this, but this is the fastest speed that the electric motor will aid you in reaching. Keep in mind that federal ebike guidelines cap top legal street speeds at 28 mph. Ebike laws will also vary by state, county, and city.

What's the maximum electric BMX bike range on a single charge?

Electric BMX bike ranges vary based on manufacturer, terrain, and the level of pedal assist you use. Our Joe Rev can travel up to 48 miles on a single charge.

How long does it take to fully recharge an electric BMX bike battery?

You can expect around three to six hours to fully recharge an ebike battery, although charging times vary. The good news is that, unlike many ebikes, our Joe Rev's integrated battery can be charged both on and off the bike! Keep your ebike battery in good health by storing it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and partially charging the battery periodically during longterm storage. Consult your owner's manual for more tips to maximize battery life.

How big are electric BMX bike motors?

Our BMX ebike, Joe Rev, has a 750W planetary-geared hub motor, powered by a 48V/500Wh LG21700 lithium-ion battery. This motor is capable of reaching speeds up to 20 mph, offers five levels of pedal assist, and can power the bike for up to 48 miles on a single charge. Joe Rev is tested and certified to UL2271 and UL2849 standards.

How heavy are electric BMX bikes?

Electric BMX bikes are naturally heavier than traditional BMX bikes, due to the inclusion of an electric battery and motor. Our Joe Rev BMX ebike weighs 56 lbs.

Do electric BMX bikes have pedal assist or throttle?

Not all electric BMX bikes have both pedal assist and a push-to-go throttle, but Joe Rev does. It has five levels of pedal assist, a “walk” mode, and a thumb-operated throttle, capable of powering the bike up to 20 mph.

What brakes do electric BMX bikes have?

The best electric BMX bikes feature disc brakes. Disc brakes provide superior stopping power and modulation compared to traditional rim brakes. This is crucial for the high speeds and aggressive riding style associated with BMX bikes.

Do BMX ebikes have a weight limit?

Weight limits for BMX ebikes will vary by manufacturer. Joe Rev Electric BMX Bike has a recommended weight limit of 350 lbs.

Do electric BMX bikes have suspension?

Traditionally, BMX bikes (even electric ones) do not have suspension. Instead, they’ll feature a rigid frame and front forks, usually made of steel. This is because suspension adds weight and complexity, which can hinder the bike's agility and responsiveness, which is crucial for tricks and technical maneuvers.

What is the frame material on electric BMX bikes?

Like a normal bicycle, most electric BMX bikes will feature steel or aluminum frames. Aluminum is lighter and steel is heavier, but stronger. Our Joe Rev has a bit of both, a rigid steel fork for durability, and a 6061 aluminum frame to minimize weight.

Do electric BMX bikes have lights or fenders?

Like traditional BMX bikes, BMX ebikes are designed for tricks and agility, so they usually don’t have lights, fenders, or other accessories, as these just add weight and bulk. Fenders can get in the way during spins and jumps, and lights can be damaged upon impact. These accessories also add complexity and potential points of failure on a bike that’s meant to withstand rough handling. The minimalist design keeps the bike light and responsive, prioritizing maneuverability over practicality.

What size are electric BMX bike tires?

BMX ebikes will have slightly larger tires than most standard ebikes. The tires on our electric BMX bike, Joe Rev, are extra-wide, measuring 27.5” by 3”.

What colors do electric BMX bikes come in?

Our Joe Rev Electric BMX Bike is available in three colors: Matte Black, Chili Pepper, and Matte Feather Gray.

Where can I ride an electric BMX bike?

You can ride an electric BMX bike on nearly any surface. The 27.5” x 3” extra-wide tires, mechanical disc brakes, and steel forks are designed to give you power, precision, and control for tricking on all terrains.

The legality of riding electric bikes is another question. In the United States, this varies by state, sometimes by county or city. Some states classify ebikes as regular bicycles. Others consider them a motor vehicle, akin to a moped or electric scooter. In Alabama, for example, you can ride an ebike on roads, but not on sidewalks and bike paths. In Arizona, you can ride an electric bike on sidewalks and bikeways, as well as on roads. Check the laws in your city and state before you ride.

Can I ride electric BMX bikes on the street?

Electric BMX bikes can certainly be ridden on the street, though they won’t be as versatile as electric city bikes or as fast as electric commuter bikes. However, as noted above, it really depends on the laws of your city and state. Check out the People for Bikes state by state Electric Bike Laws to learn more about the laws where you live.

What are UL 2849 and UL 2271 certifications?

UL 2849 and UL 2271 are electric system certifications provided by the independent safety science company UL Solutions. UL 2849 is a certification for the entire ebike. It “provides fire safety certification by examining the electrical drive train, battery, and charger system combinations in ebikes, evaluating components including the drive unit, battery, battery management system (BMS), interconnecting wiring, and power inlet.” UL 2271, meanwhile, specifically focuses on the lithium-ion batteries within the bike. All current-gen retrospec ebikes, including our Joe Rev Electric BMX Bike, are both UL 2849 and UL 2271 certified, meaning they’ve been tested and approved by a UL-accredited lab.

What should I do to maximize the battery life of my electric BMX bike?

Consult your owner's manual for specific recommendations on maximizing battery life. Avoid storing the battery in extreme temperatures, moist environments, or direct sunlight. Try not to completely drain it before recharging. Other tips include storing batteries with a partial charge and maintaining this charge periodically, and keeping batteries clean and dry.
