Legal Requirements

In India, the minimum age for getting a learning licence for a two-wheeler is 16 years. You must be at least 16 years of age to ride a gearless motorcycle up to 50cc in engine capacity. To ride geared motorcycles of any type, you need to be at least 18 years of age. Once you have completed your training, you can get a driver’s licence.

Availability of 50cc Bikes

There are no known brands that manufacture road-legal bikes in this segment. Moreover, unlike Western countries, where 50cc bikes are popular even among adults, Indians have rarely shown interest in this segment. The only motorbikes available in this segment include various 50cc pocket bikes under local brands, such as Gigaglitz, Leasote, NewRay, LARCH, PATOYS, etc. You can also get 50cc electric bikes, such as Kinetic Green Luna and Motovolt M7.

Ride and Seat Height

Before you get a 50cc mini dirt bike for your child, you need to check if the bike’s seat height matches your child’s height. The child’s feet should be able to touch the ground while being seated. A seat height of 21 to 25 inches is recommended for a child between 3 feet 7 inches and 4 feet 7 inches. For a height of around 5 feet, the recommended seat height is 31 to 35 inches.

The market for good 50cc bikes may not be as active and famous as that of higher-displacement two-wheelers, but these bikes still hold a special place in the hearts of many. There are several types of 50cc bikes, including learner bikes, dirt bikes, mopeds, adventure motorcycles and small scooters. However, many of these bikes are not readily available for purchase in India.

While you may be able to buy second-hand versions of some models, others may need to be imported. Since imported bikes are quite costly, you should ensure that your purchase is secured with a bike insurance policy. You can get two-wheeler insurance online for convenience and get attractive discounts while securing your special bike.

With TATA AIG’s bike insurance plan, you can get complete protection from accidents, thefts and losses with benefits like cashless repairs and quick claim settlements. You can customise your plan by adding riders or changing the IDV in bike insurance to get more coverage or lower costs. Renew bike insurance with us to get discounts on premiums.
