Also I wanna buy like the cruiser one. Is it okay for a 17 year old girl?


Answer
An electric bicycle is basically a smaller scooter its a regular bike with an small engine to assist riders but its a lot heavier than regular bicycles . Your not going to notice the weight while riding because the motor is doing most the work for you if you want the exercise factor get a road/hybrid bicycle or a thinned tires on a MTB shall do it .

What's a good dirt bike for an experienced 13 year old boy?

I'v been riding since i was 5. I started with a crf 50 then crf 70 and now a crf 100. Its to slow now though so i'm selling it and buying a new one. I'm 5'9" and 120 pounds. I would use it for trail riding only, no racing or anything so a 4 stroke would be best. I would prefer a bike from 1990 and newer and less then $2000.


Answer
for you, get nothing smaller than a 250 or 225. you could go with a honda crf 250 or a yamaha wr250. both are excellent bikes and will have tons of power so you can keep them for years to come. if you get anything smaller, you'll end up looking for a new one again very soon, and in fact anything smaller is too small for you. another great bike is a Yamaha XT225. i had this at about the same age as you as a christmas present. it's a very good bike for trail riding, but it's also street legal, so when you turn 16 you can go for your motorcycle license. i now have a street legal 1999 Yamaha WR400, and i love the fact that i can go off into the woods straight from the street, or vise versa, legally. of course you're still a bit too young but trust me in no time (as long as your parents are OK with it) you would be very happy with a street legal dirt bike.

so basically to sum up these three, here it goes.

Yamaha WR-250; Honda CRF-250 - plenty of power to get you anywhere you need to go, and fast. very good trail bikes and (depending on year) very light. you can find them all over the place now for under $2000 they are not track bikes, but hey if your friends invite you, it'll work depending on your skill. never personally ridden one myself but i know people who have and have ridden on some good trails with those people. they never had a problem, and i was on a 400cc.

Yamaha XT-225, 250 - great bike for just about anybody. i had one for about 2 years when i was about your age (now 17), and i loved it.i took it on some pretty rough trails, but it always got me where i needed to go, and with 6 gears, it always got me there fast (try 90mph. never actually got it to go that fast, but pretty close), so you will never have a problem keeping up with other riders on larger dirt bikes. electric start, and street legal from the factory, so it includes all the lighting you need for night rides, and, of course, the street. however, if you never plan on going on the street you can easily just have the license plate removed and replace it with a green sticker. the bike is also very quiet because it is street legal, so you can start it up at night and not have to really worry about other campers. you can't jump much higher than 2 or 3 feet, but that shouldn't be a concern with trail riding. one problem is that the price may be a bit high, but they are plentiful and with research you could probably find one for under 2 grand.

another option you could consider is a Yamaha TT-R 230, but i think you would easily get bored with it, as it is more of a beginner bike. it's much better than a CRF-100 though and will have a large difference in power. problem is it's a learning bike, and built mainly for beginners who will crash it all the time, so it's built more like a tank. it should still work though, but not as a long term bike.

my younger brother started riding a 400 at about 14 years old, weighing about the same as you. it was very tough, and a year later still is a little heavy, but he can out ride most people my age on the same bike, and if he rides a different he can blow some adults out of the water. it's always best to go with a bigger bike. that way it saves money in the long run, seeing as you don't have to buy another one for a while, if ever. it also greatly improves your skill because you are riding a bigger bike than normal, so about a year later you're riding it like a pro when everybody else is still catching up.
