What Age Is the Amped A24 Comp For?
The Amped A24 Comp is typically best suited to confident older riders and teenagers aged around 10–16 who need the biggest, fastest and most capable electric bike in the Amped range.
What age child can ride an Amped A24 Comp?
The Amped A24 Comp is generally best suited to confident riders aged approximately 10–16 years old, with a recommended rider height of roughly 150–180cm.
Rider height, strength and previous experience matter far more than age alone. The A24 Comp is a large 24-inch performance bike with a 1500W motor, 2000W peak output and speeds of up to approximately 31mph.
It is intended for riders who have already developed reliable throttle, steering and braking control and who genuinely need more size than the Amped A20 Comp .

Where does the Amped A24 Comp sit in the range?
The A24 Comp is the flagship model in the Amped Comp range . It sits above the A18 Comp and A20 Comp in physical size, motor output, battery voltage and overall off-road capability.
Height matters more than age on the A24 Comp
Age provides a useful starting point, but the A24 Comp is too substantial to choose from age alone. A suitable rider should combine the correct physical fit with confidence, maturity and previous powered-bike experience.
Rider Height
The strongest general fit is approximately 150–180cm. Riders below this range may struggle with the height, weight and overall scale of the 24-inch chassis.
Physical Strength
The rider should be able to support, steer and reposition the bike without becoming physically overwhelmed when stopping, turning or riding slowly.
Riding Experience
They should already have reliable throttle and braking control and feel comfortable riding a capable electric bike over suitable off-road terrain.

Who is the Amped A24 Comp best suited to?
The A24 Comp should suit riders who:
- Are typically around 10–16 years old
- Are approximately 150–180cm tall
- Are confident and experienced on two wheels
- Already understand powered-bike throttle control
- Can use hydraulic brakes progressively
- Have outgrown an 18-inch or 20-inch electric bike
- Need more space than the A20 Comp provides
- Want maximum Amped size and performance
- Will ride on suitable private off-road terrain
- Will use appropriate protective equipment
- Will ride under responsible supervision
Consider a different model when:
- The rider is below approximately 150cm tall
- They are nervous or inexperienced
- They cannot support the bike securely
- They still fit the A20 Comp comfortably
- They are learning basic throttle control
- They have only ridden normal pedal bikes
- The bike is being chosen mainly for future growth
- They need a lighter and more agile platform
- The A20 Comp already offers sufficient performance
How powerful is the Amped A24 Comp?
The Amped A24 Comp uses a 48V 1500W alloy brushless rear hub motor with peak output of up to approximately 2000W.
It is powered by a removable 48V 10Ah lithium battery and can reach speeds of up to approximately 31mph, depending on rider weight, terrain, battery charge and riding conditions.
The larger 24-inch Kenda fat off-road tyres provide a more stable and substantial riding platform, while the full-suspension setup helps the bike remain composed over suitable tracks and uneven ground.
Its specification includes a DNM front suspension fork, FASTACE rear suspension and front and rear hydraulic disc brakes, giving the A24 Comp the component level expected from the flagship Amped model.

What is the difference between 36V and 48V?
Smaller Amped models such as the A18 Comp and A20 Comp use 36V battery systems. The A24 Comp steps up to a 48V system to support its larger motor, increased peak power and more substantial chassis.
Well suited to smaller and lighter Comp bikes, delivering strong off-road performance in a more manageable package.
Supports the flagship model’s 1500W rated motor, 2000W peak output and stronger performance for larger and more experienced riders.
Amped A24 Comp speed modes explained
The A24 Comp includes three selectable riding modes so its performance can be introduced progressively rather than giving the rider immediate access to maximum speed.
Controlled Introduction
Intended for becoming familiar with the larger chassis, throttle response, braking and low-speed handling in a controlled area.
Stronger Progression
Suitable once the rider consistently demonstrates smooth acceleration, controlled steering and reliable braking.
Up To 31mph
Intended only for experienced, properly equipped and closely supervised riders using a suitable and controlled off-road area.
Maximum speed will vary according to rider weight, terrain, tyre pressure, battery charge, gradient and riding conditions.
Can parents limit the A24 Comp’s speed?
Yes. The selectable riding modes allow the bike’s performance to be introduced in stages as the rider becomes comfortable with its size, weight and throttle response.
The first sessions should take place in the lowest available mode on a large, flat and controlled surface. Higher modes should only be introduced when the rider can accelerate, steer and stop consistently without panicking.
Is the Amped A24 Comp suitable for beginners?
The A24 Comp is not designed as a first electric bike. It is the largest and most powerful model in the Amped range and is primarily intended for confident riders progressing from smaller powered bikes.
A tall rider with extensive pedal-bike, mountain-bike or motorcycle experience may adapt quickly, but they must still learn the throttle response and weight of the A24 Comp gradually.
For most riders who are new to powered riding, the Amped A20 Comp will be the more manageable premium option.
- Begin in the lowest riding mode
- Use a large, flat and controlled area
- Practise smooth throttle application
- Practise releasing the throttle before braking
- Learn controlled starting and stopping
- Introduce rougher terrain gradually
- Increase performance only when control is consistent
- Use a properly fitted helmet and protective equipment
- Provide responsible supervision throughout
Is the Amped A24 Comp too powerful?
It may be too powerful for a nervous, inexperienced or physically small rider. Its 1500W rated motor, 2000W peak output and top speed of up to approximately 31mph place it well beyond a basic electric balance bike.
For a tall and experienced rider, however, the A24 Comp provides strong long-term progression and significantly more capability than the A20 Comp.
The riding modes, hydraulic brakes and full suspension help make the performance more controllable, but they do not replace good judgement, correct sizing or responsible supervision.
How to check whether the Amped A24 Comp fits
A suitable rider should appear naturally positioned and remain capable of controlling the bike when stationary, moving slowly, turning and braking.
Check foot contact
The rider should be able to place their feet down securely enough to support the bike when stopping. Tiptoe-only contact may indicate that the A24 Comp is currently too large.
Check handlebar reach
They should reach the handlebars naturally without stretching, locking their arms or leaning excessively forward.
Check brake reach
The rider must be able to reach and operate both hydraulic brake levers while maintaining a secure grip on the handlebars.
Check overall control
Ask whether the rider can support, steer and reposition the bike without assistance. Physical fit matters even before the motor is switched on.
Does the rider need to place both feet flat on the ground?
Both feet do not necessarily need to sit completely flat, particularly for an experienced rider. However, they should have secure enough ground contact to stabilise the bike confidently when stopping.
A rider who can only touch the ground with the very ends of their toes, struggles to keep the bike upright or needs assistance every time they stop is unlikely to be ready for the A24 Comp.
Can a ten-year-old ride an Amped A24 Comp?
A tall, physically strong and highly experienced ten-year-old may suit the Amped A24 Comp, but most riders of this age will be better matched to the smaller Amped A20 Comp .
The rider should be close to the lower end of the recommended 150–180cm height range, already confident on powered bikes and capable of managing the A24 Comp’s substantial 24-inch chassis.
Can an eleven-year-old ride an Amped A24 Comp?
Yes, a tall and experienced eleven-year-old may suit the A24 Comp, particularly if they are around 150cm or taller and have already outgrown a smaller electric bike.
Smaller or less experienced eleven-year-olds should still compare the A20 Comp, which provides serious performance in a more manageable 20-inch package.
Can a twelve-year-old ride an Amped A24 Comp?
Yes. Twelve years old can fall within the suitable age range for the A24 Comp, provided the rider is tall enough, physically capable and already confident with powered off-road riding.
A rider around 150–165cm may fit the bike well, but the final decision should still be based on their ability to support, steer and stop the bike securely.
Can a thirteen-year-old ride an Amped A24 Comp?
Yes. The A24 Comp can be an excellent choice for a confident thirteen-year-old who is approximately 150–175cm tall and has progressed beyond smaller electric bikes.
At this age, the larger wheels and stronger chassis can provide useful stability, space and long-term riding potential without immediately moving to a full-size adult electric motorcycle.
Can a fourteen-year-old ride an Amped A24 Comp?
Yes. Many fourteen-year-old riders will sit naturally within the A24 Comp’s intended size range, especially if they are around 155–180cm tall.
For riders who have outgrown a 20-inch electric bike and want a larger, more substantial off-road platform, the A24 Comp can offer an excellent balance of size, performance and manageability.
Can a fifteen-year-old ride an Amped A24 Comp?
Yes. The Amped A24 Comp is well suited to many fifteen-year-old riders, particularly those who remain within the approximate 150–180cm height range.
Its 24-inch wheels, full suspension and 2000W peak output provide enough capability to remain exciting for experienced teenagers while retaining a more compact feel than many full-size electric motorcycles.
Can a sixteen-year-old ride an Amped A24 Comp?
Yes. A sixteen-year-old can ride the A24 Comp provided the bike remains a comfortable physical fit and is used in an appropriate off-road environment.
Riders approaching or exceeding 180cm may begin to find the chassis compact and could be better suited to a larger adult-focused electric bike. However, riders who prefer a lighter and more agile platform may continue to enjoy the A24 Comp.
Can an adult ride the Amped A24 Comp?
Some smaller adults may physically fit the Amped A24 Comp, particularly those within the approximate 150–180cm rider-height range and below the recommended maximum rider weight.
However, it remains a youth-focused electric bike rather than a full-size adult motorcycle. Taller or heavier adults may find the riding position cramped and the chassis too compact for comfortable long-term use.
Riders seeking a larger adult-focused electric bike should also compare the Sur-Ron electric bike range and Electro & Co electric bikes .
How long will a child fit the Amped A24 Comp?
The recommended rider-height range of approximately 150–180cm gives the A24 Comp useful growing room for riders entering near the lower or middle part of that range.
A rider beginning around 150–160cm may use the bike for several seasons, depending on growth rate, riding style and personal preference. A rider already approaching 180cm may have less physical room to grow.
Because the A24 Comp is already the largest Amped model, it can provide a longer useful lifespan than the smaller A18 Comp or A20 Comp when it is chosen for a rider who fits it correctly from the start.
