GT54 top speed and range: how fast and how far each Riding’times GT54 goes

GT54 top speed, model by model

The GT54 is a mini and pit size electric dirt bike, with a 14 inch front and 12 inch rear wheel. Riding’times sells it in two power levels, and each comes as a 15 mph Safety Edition too.

• Riding’times GT54: 40 mph, from a rear hub motor rated at 2,000 W peak with 214 lb-ft of torque and a 48V 32A controller.
• GT54 Pro: 50 mph, measured without a rider, from a rear hub motor rated at 3,000 W peak with 249 lb-ft of torque and a 60V 40A Fardriver controller.
• GT54 Safety Edition: up to 15 mph, with a geared rear hub motor factory-limited to 750 W.
• GT54 Pro Safety Edition: up to 15 mph, with the same 750 W factory limit and the Pro’s 60V battery and controller.

Maker figures, checked September 2026. Real range and speed depend on rider weight, terrain, temperature and riding mode.

Read the Pro’s 50 mph with care. Riding’times measured it without a rider, so expect less with someone on board, and less again on climbs or soft ground. The GT54’s 40 mph carries no such note. For the full comparison of the two power levels, see GT54 vs GT54 Pro.

What slows a mini bike down

A small bike with a big motor is still sensitive to load. The GT54 family is rated for riders up to 220 lb, and the closer you get to that limit, the more the motor has to work.

• Rider weight: a light teen and a full-size adult will see very different speeds and range on the same bike.
• Battery level: voltage falls as the pack empties, so top speed usually drops toward the end of a ride.
• Ground: hard-packed dirt is fastest. Sand, mud, grass and climbs all cost speed.
• Cold: a cold lithium battery delivers less power and less range.

For newer riders, the top speed matters less than how the power comes in. The Safety Editions keep the full-size brakes and suspension but cap the speed at 15 mph, which makes them a calmer first bike.

GT54 range: up to 62 miles

Riding’times gives every GT54 a maximum range of up to 62 miles. The GT54 listing calls 62 miles (100 km) its maximum claim, and its spec list also gives 60 miles. The GT54 Pro and both Safety Editions are listed at up to 62 miles.

Energy per mile is a fair way to compare. Spread over 62 miles, the GT54’s 1,296 Wh works out to about 21 Wh per mile, and the Pro’s 1,500 Wh to about 24 Wh per mile. Both figures assume gentle riding. Full throttle trail riding uses far more, so real range can be a fraction of the maximum.

Battery and charging

• GT54 and GT54 Safety Edition: a removable 48V 27Ah lithium battery (1,296 Wh) with a 54.6V 3A charger.
• GT54 Pro: a 60V 25Ah lithium battery (1,500 Wh) with a 67.2V 3A charger.
• GT54 Pro Safety Edition: a removable 60V 25Ah lithium battery (1,500 Wh) with a 67.2V 3A charger.

Riding’times does not list a charge time for the GT54 family. Use only the supplied charger, charge on a hard surface away from anything that burns, and stay nearby while it charges. Our guide on how to charge an electric dirt bike covers storage and winter care.

If the bike loses power or the battery stops charging, switch it off and follow the Riding’times manual. Battery, controller, brake and wiring repairs belong with a qualified technician, and our warranty page explains what is covered.

Weight, seat height and who it fits

• Net weight: 106.5 lb for the GT54 and GT54 Safety Edition, 102.5 lb for the GT54 Pro and GT54 Pro Safety Edition.
• Seat height: 27.2 in on all four.
• Rider height: 4 ft 2 in to 5 ft 9 in.
• Max load: 220 lb.
• Size: 59.8 x 26.4 x 39.8 in.

The low seat is the GT54’s biggest selling point. At 27.2 in, most teens and many smaller adults can put their feet down at a stop, which builds confidence on a first bike. Riding’times lists the GT54 for teens and youth and the GT54 Pro for adults, and both share the same frame and fit.

Riders taller than 5 ft 9 in or heavier than 220 lb should look at the full-size GT73 instead. Our sibling guide to GT73 top speed and range covers it the same way, and electric dirt bike sizes shows how to check seat height against inseam.

Brakes and suspension at speed

Every GT54 stops with hydraulic disc brakes front and rear, plus an e-brake that cuts motor power. The GT54 and GT54 Safety Edition use an inverted aluminum fork and a rear shock. The GT54 Pro and GT54 Pro Safety Edition use an adjustable hydraulic fork and a rear shock, so you can tune the front end for the rider’s weight.

All four run 60/100-14 front and 60/100-12 rear tires, an LED headlight, a taillight and turn signals. For riders who move up to the Pro’s 50 mph, the adjustable fork is the more useful upgrade.

Where to ride and what to wear

Every GT54 is for off-road use only. Ride on private land with the owner’s permission, at riding parks and tracks, and on trails open to off-road motorcycles. Lights and turn signals do not make a bike road legal. Our guide to where to ride electric dirt bikes covers the options.

At 40 or 50 mph, a mini bike needs full gear: a full face helmet, goggles, gloves, boots and body armor. Our guide to electric dirt bike safety gear lists what to wear.

GT54 price band and how to pay

All four GT54 models currently sit under $1,000, in the $500 to $1,000 band. Prices change with sales, so each product page shows today’s figure.

See the whole line on the Riding’times brand page and the rest of our electric dirt bikes. Every GT54 costs well under $2,000, so you can use Pay in 4 at 0% APR on orders up to $2,000, or a monthly plan with Affirm, subject to approval. Every order ships free to the lower 48 states.
