Important Sizing Note
Height is an excellent starting point, but it should not be used on its own. Rider confidence, experience, strength, intended use and ability to manage the bike’s weight and power are just as important. A nervous 145cm rider may be better suited to a more manageable bike than an experienced 138cm rider.
Which Electric Bike Is Best for a Rider Between 135cm and 150cm?
This height category includes a broad mix of riders. Some may be stepping up from a Revvi 18 or Amped A20, while others may already have strong throttle control, braking confidence and off-road experience.
For a steady rider who wants a larger but manageable bike, the Revvi 20 remains one of the best places to start. It provides more room and stability without making an immediate jump into a more aggressive performance platform.
The Revvi 20 Plus suits riders who like the familiar Revvi format but want considerably more performance and longer-term progression than the standard Revvi 20.
The Amped A20 is a strong-value option for general riding, while the Amped A20 Pro remains our strongest all-round recommendation for confident riders who want more power, hydraulic brakes and improved suspension.
More experienced riders may be ready for the Amped A18 Comp or Amped A20 Comp. These are more performance-focused full-suspension bikes and make the most sense for riders who already have good balance, throttle control and off-road confidence.
The STACYC 20eDRIVE Brushless offers a premium lightweight alternative for families who value electric balance-bike handling and rider development over outright power.
At the higher-performance end, the Sur-Ron Hyper Bee and selected EBOX V3 or EBOX Dragster models may suit experienced riders who want a considerably more capable machine. These should not be treated as direct beginner alternatives to the Revvi or Amped youth ranges.
The aim is not simply to choose the biggest or fastest bike available. The best bike is the one the rider can control confidently while still having enough room and capability to progress.
Which Bike Should You Choose Within This Height Range?
- Steady or developing rider: Revvi 20 or Amped A20
- Confident rider wanting stronger all-round performance: Amped A20 Pro or Revvi 20 Plus
- Experienced off-road rider: Amped A18 Comp or Amped A20 Comp
- Premium lightweight option: STACYC 20eDRIVE Brushless
- Experienced rider wanting serious performance: Sur-Ron Hyper Bee or selected EBOX models
Riders approaching 150cm may also benefit from comparing the separate 150cm+ electric bike collection, especially if they are confident, experienced and need a larger chassis.
Youth Electric Bike or Compact Performance Bike?
There is a significant difference between a youth electric bike such as the Revvi 20 or Amped A20 Pro and a compact performance machine such as the Sur-Ron Hyper Bee or an EBOX model.
Choose a Youth Electric Bike If...
- The rider is still developing confidence
- Manageable weight is a priority
- They are moving up from a smaller balance bike
- You want progressive speed and power
- The bike will mainly be used for recreation and general off-road riding
Choose a Performance Bike If...
- The rider already has strong off-road experience
- They have confident throttle and braking control
- They can manage a heavier and more powerful machine
- They want more serious suspension and performance
- The bike will be used in suitable private off-road environments

Shop EBOX BikesHow to Choose Between These Bikes
The bikes in this category vary considerably in size, weight, power and intended use. A rider between 135cm and 150cm may physically fit several different models, but that does not mean every option will be equally suitable.
The safest approach is to match the bike to the rider’s confidence and experience rather than choosing purely by maximum speed or power.
Steady Progression
Choose the Revvi 20 or Amped A20 for riders who need a larger bike but still benefit from manageable performance.
Confident All-Round Riding
Choose the Amped A20 Pro or Revvi 20 Plus for confident riders wanting more power and longer-term progression.
Serious Off-Road Progression
Choose the Amped A18 Comp or Amped A20 Comp for riders with good throttle control and previous off-road experience.
High-Performance Riding
Choose the Sur-Ron Hyper Bee or selected EBOX models only where the rider already has the experience to manage considerably more performance.
Why Height and Confidence Matter More Than Age
Age can provide a rough guide, but height and confidence are normally more useful when choosing a larger youth electric bike.
Two riders of the same age can differ significantly in height, strength and experience. One rider may be comfortable on a full-suspension performance bike, while another may progress more safely and confidently on a lighter, steadier model.
A correctly sized bike should allow the rider to:
- Reach the ground comfortably enough to balance and stop
- Control the handlebars without feeling overstretched
- Manage the bike’s weight at low speed
- Use the throttle and brakes smoothly
- Maintain a stable and relaxed riding position

Should You Buy a Larger Bike to Grow Into?
A small amount of growing room can be sensible, especially for a rider who is close to 150cm and already confident. However, buying a bike that is significantly too large or powerful can make the rider less comfortable and slow their progression.
Consider Sizing Up If...
- The rider is already confident
- They have previous electric bike experience
- They can reach the ground safely
- They can comfortably manage the bike’s weight
- They are approaching the top of this height category
Stay With the Smaller Option If...
- The rider is nervous or inexperienced
- The larger bike feels intimidating
- They struggle to reach the ground
- They cannot comfortably control the extra weight
- They are still developing braking and throttle control
Riders close to 150cm who need a larger chassis should also compare our 150cm+ electric bike collection.

Frequently Asked Questions
What electric bike is best for a rider between 135cm and 150cm tall?
The best option depends on confidence and experience. The Revvi 20 suits steady progression, the Amped A20 offers strong value, and the Amped A20 Pro is our strongest all-round recommendation for confident riders.
Is the Revvi 20 suitable for riders over 135cm?
Yes. The Revvi 20 is a strong option for riders between 135cm and 150cm who need a larger but manageable electric bike. It is particularly suitable for riders moving up from the Revvi 18 or another smaller youth model.
What is the difference between the Revvi 20 and Revvi 20 Plus?
The Revvi 20 is the steadier and more manageable option. The Revvi 20 Plus offers considerably more power and specification, making it better suited to confident riders wanting stronger long-term progression.
Is the Amped A20 Pro the best overall option?
For many confident riders in this height range, yes. It offers a strong balance of size, performance, hydraulic braking, suspension and value without moving straight onto a much heavier performance bike.
Who should choose the Amped A18 Comp?
The Amped A18 Comp is best suited to riders who already have good balance, throttle control and off-road experience. It offers a more serious full-suspension setup than standard youth electric bikes.
When should I choose the Amped A20 Comp?
The Amped A20 Comp makes sense for taller, more confident riders who want a larger and more capable full-suspension bike. It is not normally our first recommendation for a nervous beginner.
Is the STACYC 20eDRIVE Brushless suitable for this height range?
Yes. It can suit riders between 135cm and 150cm who want a premium, lightweight electric balance-bike platform rather than a heavier performance-focused machine.
Is the Sur-Ron Hyper Bee suitable for a 135cm rider?
Potentially, but only where the rider has suitable experience and can comfortably manage the bike’s weight and performance. The Hyper Bee is considerably more powerful than typical youth electric bikes and should not be treated as a beginner model.
Which EBOX models suit riders between 135cm and 150cm?
Suitability varies by model and rider experience. Selected EBOX V3 and Dragster models may fit this category, but they are performance-focused bikes and should be considered based on seat height, weight, power and the rider’s ability.
Should I choose based on height or age?
Height is usually the better starting point, but confidence, strength and riding experience are equally important when choosing larger and more powerful electric bikes.
What if the rider is close to 150cm?
A confident rider close to 150cm may also benefit from viewing the 150cm+ collection. A steadier rider may still be better suited to one of the more manageable bikes on this page.
