Triumph expands into youth electric off-road market
Triumph Motorcycles has officially entered the electric off-road youth segment with the launch of its new TXP range, a two-model lineup developed in partnership with electric trials specialist OSET. The move expands Triumph’ s off-road portfolio and marks the brand’ s first step into the youth EV market, targeting riders ages 3 to 7.
MODULAR SETUP The TXP−12 and TXP−16 are engineered from the ground up with age-specific frames, geometry, and controls, giving children an authentic and confidence-building off-road experience from their first ride to early competition.
Each model features lightweight steel construction, adjustable suspension, and a two-inone modular setup that allows easy conversion between XPlore mode( seated off-road) and Trials mode( standing, balance-focused riding). The modular approach allows parents to adapt the bike as the child grows in skill and confidence— essentially two bikes in one platform.
PERFORMANCE AND SAFETY Both TXP models feature brushless electric motors with smooth, scalable power delivery managed by Field-Oriented Control and Active Power Stabilization systems for precise torque and consistent performance.
The TXP−12 delivers 600W of power, while the larger TXP−16 produces 765W, offering a step-up in torque and speed as riders advance. Each bike features adjustable throttle response, speed, and power settings, enabling parents to customize performance
