adjustable dirt bike for kids grows as the young riders get taller

DIRT.E K3 by VIDA grows as the children get old

VIDA unveils DIRT.E K3, an adjustable dirt bike for kids that grows over time with the young riders. As the children get older and taller, so does the two-wheeler, thanks to its modular components. Instead of replacing the dirt bike, it changes with the child. The team then focuses on the ride’s adjustability by adding a smart system that lets the parent change the two-wheeler into three different sizes. In this case, the seat height, riding position, and balance can all be adjusted, as well as the distance between the seat, the handlebars, and the foot pegs.

This is described as the ‘rider triangle,’ and on the DIRTE K3, this triangle stays correct no matter which size the two-wheeler is set to. For a young user, that means better balance, better control, and a smoother ride. The adjustable dirt bike for kids is also electric, which already makes it quieter and easier to manage than a gas-powered bike. It also comes with a removable battery that lifts out easily, and parents can charge it at their home.

App monitors the adjustable dirt bike for kids

Part of the safety feature installed in the adjustable dirt bike for kids is the dedicated app. Here, parents can control how fast the bike goes and how quickly it accelerates. They can change the riding modes of the users to make sure that the speed and terrain fit the kids’ and vehicle’s needs. If a child is just learning, the speed can be kept low, and as they become more confident, the settings can be adjusted. The app also lets parents track how much the bike is being used, which is essential so they can know if the ride needs maintenance or charging.

Design-wise, the forks at the front can be pulled to increase the two-wheeler’s height, and using screws, parents can also adjust the frame and make it taller. The tires remain the same and keep their same control and sizes amidst the changes. The DIRTE K3 was first shown to the public at EICMA 2025 and has since been recognized with the Red Dot Award 2025 and the CES Innovation Award 2026. The design team at VIDA is preparing to enter new markets, including India, and following the move, they expect to bring the adjustable dirt bike for kids into the country.
