The 2025 Melbourne Powered Electric Christmas Gift Guide

If you’re anything like us, Christmas shopping used to be a loathsome time of year, panic-buying socks and hoping that no one expected anything better. Well, not this year. 

If you’ve got a rider in your life, you’re sitting on a goldmine of genuinely exciting ideas – from kids’ e-bike gifts that get little legends out of the house, to full-blown electric dirt bike Christmas dreams for teens and grown-ups.

This guide pulls together real-deal electric bike Christmas gift ideas and Christmas presents for bikers that actually suit how people ride, live and have fun. These gifts were made to be thrashed, not trashed!

The Perfect Christmas Gift for Riders

If you’re looking to make this a Christmas to remember for someone, here’s a sure-fire way to do it: get them the electric bike of their dreams!

Whether you’re shopping for a loved one or secretly for yourself, we’ve got a huge range of electrified gift ideas for you to choose from. But if you’re not convinced yet, here’s why e-bikes are the perfect Christmas gift:

It’s that sweet spot between high-tech gadget and fresh-air freedom. E-bikes and e-motos build balance, confidence, and proper “Yeah, I did that” grins. Kids can finally keep up with their parents. Parents can actually keep up with their kids. And instead of everyone doing their own thing, you end up riding together. That’s a gift that sticks!

So, the question isn’t whether you should get an e-bike for Christmas. The question is: where do you begin?

Melbourne Powered: Your Electric Ride HQ

At Melbourne Powered, we don’t dabble in electric – we live in it. Our whole world is e-bikes, e-motos, and the accessories that make every ride better. If it’s not built to plug in and power on, it’s not really our thing.

Out the back, you’ll find our workshop, not a warehouse. We service what we sell, handle upgrades, and fine-tune setups so each bike feels right for the rider. If something ever goes sideways, you’re not stuck sending support tickets into the void. You get real after-sales support, real spare parts, and real riders who know their way around the tools, trails, and torque settings.

Our regulars and reviews say the rest. So whether you’re picking up a first bike or kitting out a seasoned rider, you’re in the right spot at Melbourne Powered.

Gifts for Young Riders: Kids E-Bikes & E-Motos

If you’re hunting for the perfect kids’ e-bike to have them grinning from ear to ear, here’s a handy guide to get you started.

12” Wheels (Ages 2–4)

For toddlers finding their balance and parents finding it hard to keep up, these bikes are the perfect first ride. 

Check out the Takani 12 Electric Balance Bike for the perfect starter e-bike. It’s dead easy to control, light enough for little legs and gradually helps kids get comfortable on two wheels.

16” Wheels (Ages 4–7)

For prep and early primary school kids, the 16-inch wheel category is perfect. Many of our bikes in this segment have easily adjustable power modes and easy-to-manage controls for parents, too. 

Take a look at the Ampd Bros Evo Racing 16” Electric Bike for the perfect gift for little racers. They’ll be lining up against their mates and racing down the footpath in no time!

18” Wheels (Ages 5–10)

For riders growing in confidence and ready to push a bit further off the beaten path. This is where balance, control, and a taste for dirt really start to come together.

The DXE Racing X-18 Electric Balance Bike is top of the class in this category and brings a proper “mini electric bike” energy to the table. 

20” Wheels (Ages 8–13)

For kids who have outgrown the little bikes but aren’t quite ready for the full-power models, our in-between range is right on the money. 

The DXE X-20 Electric Balance Bike is a perfectly happy medium, giving them a ride that feels grown-up without being over-the-top. It’s comfortable for longer rides and doesn’t look or feel ‘babyish’, which matters a lot in this age bracket!
