Compact, controlled, built for everyday adventure

The GT54 is the Riding’times model that treats a mini motorbike as a serious machine rather than a toy. It has hydraulic brakes, an inverted fork, a motorcycle-grade tire at each end and a Fardriver controller, on a frame you can put both feet down from. The Safety Edition is the same machine with its motor limited to 750W and its speed to 15 mph, for riders who want more control.

Power

750W and 15 mph, mini-moto feel

The Safety Edition keeps the GT54’s hub motor and its 48V 32A vector sine wave controller, which is why the throttle comes in smoothly from a standstill instead of in a jolt. Before it ships, Riding’times limit the motor to 750W and the top speed to 15 mph.

15 mph is below the 20 mph commonly used for Class 2 e-bikes, but e-bike classes also depend on motor power, the throttle, pedals and labeling, and they differ by state and city. Check the rules where you plan to ride before you take it on public roads, bike lanes, parks or trails.

Battery

A quick-release 48V 27Ah pack

The 1300 watt-hour battery is the largest fitted to a mini motorbike at this level, and Riding’times rate it at up to 60 miles. It releases from the frame in seconds, so it charges indoors on the 54.6V 3A charger while the machine stays in the garage, and a second pack can be swapped in for a long day. The pack is UL 2849 compliant.

The details

Five things Riding’times call out on the GT54

Front hydraulic disc brake on the Riding’times GT54

Brake system

Hydraulic discs front and rear, with electronic brake assist from the motor for a quicker first response. The same lever pressure gives the same bite on the last stop of the day as the first.

Hydraulic discFront and rear
Electronic assistFaster response
Colour LED display on the handlebar of the Riding’times GT54

Smart display

A colour LED screen with speed, battery level, gear and trip data, readable in daylight. The Fardriver controller behind it has Bluetooth, so the settings can be read from a phone.

Front wheel and all-terrain tire on the Riding’times GT54

Terrain tires

A 60/100-14 up front and a 60/100-12 at the rear, both with an aggressive off-road tread. Motorcycle sizing rather than bicycle sizing, so the carcass is built for the weight and the torque.

A proper horn at the left thumb, loud enough to be heard through a car window. Small thing; it is the difference between a machine built for the road and one built for a field.

Fit

Geometry, and who it fits

Riding’times recommend the GT54 for riders from 4’2” to 5’9”: teenagers, shorter adults, and anyone who wants a machine they can flat-foot. The 27.2 inch seat is three inches lower than the GT73’s. The frame and geometry are shared with the GT54 Pro.

Before you buy

Riding’times GT54 questions we get asked

How fast is the GT54 Safety Edition?
Up to 15 mph. Riding’times limit the motor to 750W and the top speed to 15 mph at the factory, before it ships. The standard GT54 is the full-power version.
How far does it go on a charge?
Up to 60 miles from the 48V 27Ah pack. Speed, hills, rider weight and cold weather all reduce that.
Is the battery removable?
Yes. It is a quick-release pack that lifts off the frame to charge indoors, and a second pack can be swapped in.
Is the GT54 Safety Edition a good first electric motorbike?
It is a sensible one. The frame is compact, the throttle comes in smoothly, the suspension is adjustable and the Safety Edition never goes past 15 mph.
Is it suitable for teenagers?
Riding’times size it for riders from 4’2” to 5’9” and describe the GT54 as made for teenagers and adults alike. A helmet and protective gear every ride, whatever the speed.
What height rider does it fit?
4’2” to 5’9”, with a 27.2 inch seat height. Taller riders get more legroom on the GT73 or GT73 Pro.
GT54 Safety Edition or GT54 Pro Safety Edition?
Same frame, brakes and 15 mph limit. The GT54 Pro Safety Edition moves to a 60V 25Ah battery, a 60V 40A controller and hydraulic front suspension with adjustable damping.
GT54 or GT73?
The GT54 is compact, light and agile with a mini-motorcycle feel. The GT73 is a larger frame with more room, two batteries, 85 miles of range and pedals. Pick by rider height first.
Is the Safety Edition street legal? Do I need to register it?
Riding’times built the GT54 Safety Edition for riders who want a lower top speed, and they leave the legal question to local rules: licence, registration and insurance requirements vary by country, state and city. Its 15 mph limit is below the 20 mph commonly used for Class 2 e-bikes, but e-bike classes also depend on motor power, the throttle, pedals and labeling. New York’s e-bike definition requires a motor of less than 750 watts, so a 750W machine still sits outside it. Check the rules where you plan to ride; we are happy to talk it through in the shop.
What brakes does it have?
Hydraulic disc brakes front and rear, with electronic brake assist from the motor.
What suspension does it have?
An adjustable inverted aluminium front fork with 8.3 inches of travel and a rear shock rated at 1200 lbs. We set both for your weight at handover.
Does it have a horn and lights?
Yes. An electric horn, an LED headlight, and an LED taillight with integrated turn signals. It also has an ignition key.
Can I ride it in the rain?
Light rain and splashes are fine. Never pressure-wash it, and never charge a machine that is wet or whose battery looks swollen or damaged; bring it straight in to us.
Does it come assembled?
From Riding’times it ships about 85 percent built. The tools are in the box, and our technicians can look it over at any Wilson’s shop.
Do you have it in stock?
Stock moves. Call (516) 300-0944 or come in and we will tell you where the nearest one is.
How can I pay, and who services it?
Checkout takes card, Shop Pay, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Servicing is by our technicians in the shop, with express service at every one of our locations, on any brand and any issue.
