When I was a kid, having my own motorcycle would've been the coolest thing imaginable. Forget video games, fancy toys, or whatever else kids were obsessed with back then. Give me a tiny dirt bike and somewhere to ride it, and I would've been the happiest little idiot on the planet. Unfortunately, motorcycles weren't exactly on the childhood shopping list. Fast forward a couple of decades, and kids today have access to machines that would've absolutely melted my tiny brain.
Case in point, KTM's new 2027 SX-E 2.12, an electric dirt bike designed specifically for young riders. And as someone who's spent a large chunk of my life riding motorcycles, I find this thing ridiculously exciting. Not necessarily because I want one for myself, although I'm sure I could find a way to embarrass myself on it, but because I now have a daughter of my own. She's still a baby, but I've already started thinking about the day she might want to give motorcycles a try.
