Payments
What payment methods do you accept?

Yes. We email a one-time secure payment link tokenized through a PCI-compliant processor. Your card details never touch our servers.
Do you accept credit cards?
Debit cards only at this time. Most US-issued debit cards work, including bank-issued and Cash App / Chime debit cards.

Shipping & Delivery

Orders ship from our US warehouse in 1β3 business days once payment is confirmed. Standard delivery is 3β8 days depending on your zip code.
Is shipping free?
Yes β free US shipping on orders over $800 (excludes RT-X models due to oversized freight).
Do you ship internationally?

How is the bike packaged?
Every bike ships ~85% pre-assembled in a heavy-duty wood and cardboard crate. The front wheel, handlebars and mirrors attach in the final assembly.
Will I get a tracking number?
Yes β as soon as the freight carrier picks up the crate you receive a tracking email with the carrier name, tracking number, and an estimated delivery window.
What if my bike arrives damaged?
Photograph the crate before signing for delivery and email us within 24 hours. We file the carrier claim for you and ship a replacement part or full bike at no cost.
Do you require a signature on delivery?
Yes, signature is required to protect the bike. The carrier will schedule a delivery window with you by phone.
Assembly & First Ride
Is assembly required?
Minor assembly only β attach the front wheel, handlebars and mirrors. Most riders finish in 15β30 minutes using the included tool kit.
Are tools included?
Yes β every bike includes a basic tool kit, charger (electric), and quick-start guide. You only need a tire-pressure gauge and a bit of bench space.
Is the battery pre-charged?
Electric bikes ship with the battery installed and partially charged so you can test-ride within an hour of unboxing. A full charge takes 3β5 hours from a standard outlet.
Do gas bikes come with oil and fuel?
Gas bikes ship dry (no oil or fuel) for freight safety. We include break-in oil; you add 91+ octane gasoline before first start.
How do I break in a new engine or motor?
Gas: ride gently for the first 5 hours, vary RPMs, change oil at 5 and 10 hours. Electric: ride normally β no break-in required for motor or battery.
Warranty, Returns & Refunds
What is your warranty?
1-year (365-day) limited warranty covering motor/engine, frame, battery (capacity), and OEM electrics. Wear items (tires, brake pads, chains, fluids) are excluded.
How do I file a warranty claim?
Email sales@dirtbikestores.com with your order number, photos, and a short description. Most claims are approved within 24 hours and parts ship the same week.
Can I return it if I change my mind?
Yes β 15-day money-back returns on unused, undamaged bikes in original packaging. Buyer pays return freight; refund issued within 3β5 business days of receipt.
What if the bike is defective on arrival?
Call within 48 hours of delivery. Return freight is on us for any DOA claim, and we ship a replacement immediately.
How long do refunds take?
Refunds go back to the original payment method within 3β5 business days of the returned bike being received and inspected.
What voids the warranty?
Crash damage, water damage, competitive race use, unauthorized motor or controller modifications, and skipped maintenance intervals (gas models).
Riding, Laws & Safety
Do I need a license to ride?
Most off-road dirt bikes do not require a license for use on private property or designated trails. Street-legal models are clearly labeled in the listing.
Are Sur-Ron / Talaria / e-MX bikes street legal?
Off-road by default. Some states allow on-road registration with added lights, signals, mirrors and a horn kit β check your state DMV for specifics.
What safety gear should I wear?
At minimum: full-face helmet, goggles, gloves, long sleeves and pants, and over-the-ankle boots. A chest protector and knee/elbow pads are highly recommended.
Where can I legally ride?
On private property with permission, on designated OHV trails, and at motocross parks. Riding on public roads requires a street-legal model and registration.
Is there an age requirement?
You must be 18+ to place the order. Kids dirt bikes are sized for ages 4β12 and should always be ridden under adult supervision.
Choosing the Right Bike
How do I pick the right kids dirt bike?
Match seat height to your child's inseam (floor-to-crotch). For ages 4β7 use a 50cc gas or 24Vβ36V electric; for ages 8β12 use a 110cc gas or 48V electric.
Electric or 125cc gas β which should I buy?
Electric wins on noise, zero maintenance, and instant torque. Gas wins on refuel time and range for all-day riding. Most weekend riders prefer electric.
What's the difference between Sur-Ron and Talaria?
Sur-Ron Light Bee is lighter and trail-focused; Talaria Sting has more torque and a beefier frame. Both are 60Vβ80V e-MX platforms; pick by what fits your riding style.
How fast do your bikes go?
Kids electric: 14β25 mph. Kids 50cc gas: 25β30 mph. 125cc gas: 50β60 mph. Adult e-MX (Sur-Ron / Talaria): 50β75 mph depending on gearing.
What about battery range on electric bikes?
Real-world range is 25β60 miles per charge on adult e-MX builds, and 10β20 miles on kids electric models β terrain and throttle use have the biggest impact.
