GT54 vs GT54 Pro: Riding’times mini dirt bikes and their Safety Editions

Four GT54 bikes, one frame

Riding’times builds the GT54 as a mini and pit size electric dirt bike, and sells it for teenagers and adults. It comes in two power levels, and each power level has a Safety Edition.

• Standard: the Riding’times GT54 and the GT54 Pro.
• Safety Editions: the GT54 Safety Edition and the GT54 Pro Safety Edition.

GT54 price, top speed and range

Here are the figures most riders search for. Prices change with sales, so we give bands; the product pages show today’s price.

• GT54: the $500 to $1,000 band. 40 mph top speed. Up to 62 miles as Riding’times’ maximum claim, and 60 miles in its spec list.
• GT54 Pro: the $1,000 to $1,500 band. 50 mph, measured without a rider, so expect less with someone on board. Up to 62 miles.
• GT54 Safety Edition: the $500 to $1,000 band. Up to 15 mph. Rated for 60 to 62 miles.
• GT54 Pro Safety Edition: the $1,000 to $1,500 band. Up to 15 mph. Up to 62 miles.

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

Range ratings come from gentle riding. Trail riding, climbs, soft ground and cold weather all use more energy, as our guide to electric dirt bike range explains.

What the Pro changes

• Battery: the GT54 has a removable 48V 27Ah lithium pack (1,296 Wh). The GT54 Pro has a 60V 25Ah pack (1,500 Wh). Both use 21700 cells.
• Motor: both use a rear hub motor. The GT54 peaks at 2,000 W with 214 lb-ft of torque. The GT54 Pro peaks at 3,000 W with 249 lb-ft.
• Controller: a 48V 32A unit on the GT54, and a 60V 40A Fardriver sine wave unit on the GT54 Pro.
• Throttle gears: three on each. They top out at about 16, 22 and 40 mph on the GT54, and about 15, 28 and 50 mph on the GT54 Pro.

The 60V system is the main difference. It is what lifts the Pro’s top gear by 10 mph and its peak power by 1,000 W. The first gear on both is close to 15 mph, so a newer rider can start at the same calm pace on either bike and step up later.

Suspension, frame and weight

• GT54: an inverted aluminum fork with a rear shock. It weighs 106.5 lb.
• GT54 Pro: a hydraulic double wishbone fork with adjustable damping, and a rear shock. You can tune compression and the rear shock to change how the suspension feels. The frame mixes A3 carbon steel with PA66 reinforced plastic, and the bike weighs 102.5 lb.

The Pro is the lighter bike, by 4 lb, and the only one with adjustable suspension. That makes it easier to set up for a heavier or lighter rider. Our sibling guide on electric dirt bike suspension sag explains how riders set it.

Everything else is shared: 60/100-14 front and 60/100-12 rear knobby tires, hydraulic disc brakes front and rear with an e-brake that cuts motor power, an LED headlight, a taillight with turn signals, a horn and a screen that shows speed, battery, gear and trip data. Both measure 59.8 x 26.4 x 39.8 in.

Fit: who the GT54 suits

All four GT54 bikes have a 27.2 in seat, a listed rider height of 4 ft 2 in to 5 ft 9 in and a 220 lb maximum load. That covers most teens and many smaller adults. Riders taller than 5 ft 9 in, or heavier than 220 lb, should look at the full size GT73 instead.

Fit depends on more than height: age, experience and confidence matter too. Our guide to electric dirt bike sizes shows how to check seat height against inseam, and our sibling guide to electric dirt bikes for teens covers choosing a first bike for a younger rider.

The two 15 mph Safety Editions

Each Safety Edition is factory-limited to 750 W and 15 mph, and uses a geared rear hub motor. The rest of the bike stays the same as its standard version.

• GT54 Safety Edition: the removable 48V 27Ah battery (1,296 Wh), the inverted aluminum fork and rear shock, and 106.5 lb.
• GT54 Pro Safety Edition: the 60V 25Ah battery (1,500 Wh), the adjustable hydraulic fork and rear shock, the 60V 40A Fardriver controller, and 102.5 lb.

They suit newer riders and parents who want a calmer bike with full size brakes and suspension. Riding’times notes that fit still depends on the rider’s age, size, experience and local rules. A factory limit does not change how your state classes a bike, so check the rules where you plan to ride.

Where you can ride a GT54

Every GT54 is for off-road use only. The lights, turn signals and horn help on a trail, but they do not make the bike road legal. Ride on private land with the owner’s permission, at riding parks and tracks, and on trails open to off-road motorcycles. Our guide to where to ride electric dirt bikes covers the options, and street legal electric dirt bikes explains what a road legal bike needs.

Accessories that fit the GT54

• Riding’times Snow Track Kit: a ski sled and rear track that turn the GT54 or GT54 Pro into a snow bike.
• Riding’times Rear Tail Wing: a replacement tail piece, with a GT54 / GT54 Pro version.

GT54 or GT54 Pro: which one

• Choose the GT54 for a capable mini bike at the lower price band, with 40 mph and a removable battery.
• Choose the GT54 Pro for more speed, the 60V system, adjustable suspension and a lighter bike.
• Choose a Safety Edition for a first bike or a calmer ride at 15 mph, with the same brakes and battery as its standard version.
