Which Electric Bike Is Best For A Rider Between 105cm And 120cm?
This is a key height range because many riders are too tall for the smallest 12” bikes, but not quite ready for larger 18” or 20” youth electric bikes.
If the rider is completely new or still building confidence, the Revvi 16 and Amped A16 are the safest places to start. Both are manageable, easy to ride and well suited to younger riders stepping into electric bikes for the first time.
For most riders who already have a bit of confidence, the Revvi 16 Plus is the strongest overall recommendation. It gives a more capable feel than a basic starter bike, without jumping too far into performance bike territory.
If the rider is already confident and wants more speed, the Amped A16 Pro is the more performance-focused choice. For a premium lightweight option, the STACYC 16eDRIVE Brushless is also worth considering.

For most riders between 105cm and 120cm, a 16” electric bike is usually the best starting point. It keeps the bike manageable, easy to control and confidence-inspiring.
Some riders closer to 120cm may be able to manage an 18” bike, especially if they are already confident. However, for newer riders, jumping too big too soon can make the bike feel harder to control.
- Closer to 105cm: Revvi 16 or Amped A16
- Closer to 110cm-115cm: Revvi 16, Amped A16 or Revvi 16 Plus
- Closer to 120cm: Revvi 16 Plus, Amped A16 Pro or possibly Revvi 18 for confident riders
Why Height Matters More Than Age
Age is helpful, but height is usually the better starting point when choosing a kids electric bike.
Two children of the same age can be very different sizes. A correctly sized bike helps the rider reach the ground, stay balanced and build confidence much quicker.

For newer riders: choose the Revvi 16.
For best value: choose the Amped A16.
For most riders wanting the best all-round progression bike: choose the Revvi 16 Plus.
For confident riders wanting more performance: choose the Amped A16 Pro.
