TXP tee’d up for Christmas

OK, we know it’s only October and that mention of the word festive should, by rights, be strictly forbidden.

But if you want Santa to deliver your little one a two-wheeled treat you’ll need get a move on.

Triumph, and its kid-friendly offspring, OSET, might have the perfect present for the aspiring young rider in the family. The all-electric TPX.

 

For decades now Yamaha’s PW50 and its’ bigger sibling, the PW80, have pretty much owned the children’s motorcycle genre, with the famous blue livery being synonymous with the entry point for riding off-road.

Then OSET came along with their track-focused kids’ race bike.

There are now championships for the young ones all across Europe, including her in Ireland.

Pint-sized player

Not wanting to be left out of the party, Triumph have launched their own bike for our junior superheroes.

The UK bike manufacturer acquired OSET back in 2010 and now they’ve married both brands with a new OSET off-road machine. The TXP.

The idea behind the Triumph TXP is to offer a full range of premium electric off-road motorcycles.

This will allow the company to provide the machines needed as the child gets older, taller and heavier.

It will also, no doubt, do no to harm Triumph’s brand awareness with younger people graduating to full size petrol-burning beasts!

Battery included

The TXP’s brushless 600W 43V motor is powered by a lithium battery.

Stick the bike into a trials mode and it’ll run for a lot longer than one might expect.

Having been properly properly researched and designed, these batteries are sealed and engineered for water and impact resistance.

The rider, or their parent, can check the charge level before the bike is ridden. There’s even a mobile phone type reader and a low power warning light as part of the pack.

After all, who in their right mind wants to hike up a hill to carry one back down it again as your scion blames you for embarrassing them in front of their peers!

As per the Neos scooter from Yamaha, the battery can easily be taken out of the bike for domestic supply charging.

Junior schooled

Everything about these machines is designed to suit a child, with a low seat height and handlebars and a short wheelbase.

Even the grips are smaller and the brake levers  shorter and easier to reach.

But they still have disc brakes on either end, as well as adjustable suspension.

With very little fitted to the bike’s handlebars,  the view in front of the rider is simple. There aren’t any Bluetooth connected TFT screens here!

There are, though, a standing seat for trials and MX, along with a higher mudguard. These are offered as an extra.

Safety code

A PIN code helps keep the bike safe. It must be used to protect the modes, power, torque and top speed, via a parental keypad.

The top speed is 30 KPH, but the controls allow that figure to be reduced by up to 75%.

Even when the child’s favourite grandparent sets it up themselves, the lanyard attached to the rider’s wrist will cut the power once they part company.

This is surely a safer and more modern offering to those of us wanting to get our youngsters started on two wheels.

If you want to stick one under this year’s Christmas tree, talk to Declan at Triumph Dublin  on 01 464 2211 to discuss delivery times.
