THUMPSTAR - TSK 50
THUMPSTAR - TSK 50
Thumpstar's TSK50 is designed to be the perfect modular kids' first bike, offering a range of features and improvements to make it an even better choice for young riders. Here are some key highlights:
-
Compact and Simple Design: The TSK50 is described as small and compact, making it suitable for kids. Its simplicity and user-friendly design are intended to provide a comfortable and enjoyable riding experience for young riders.
-
Mini Stealth Plastics: Thumpstar has given the bike a fresh look with their new mini stealth plastics, aligning it with the appearance of their other bikes in the lineup. This updated design likely appeals to both kids and adults.
-
Semi-Automatic Engine: Unlike fully automatic engines, the TSK50 features a semi-automatic engine. This change could provide young riders with a bit more control and help them transition to manual transmissions as they gain experience.
-
Electric and Kick Start: The addition of both electric and kick start options enhances the bike's convenience and reliability. Electric start can be particularly useful for young riders.
-
Increased Power: Thumpstar has boosted the bike's power, making it capable of accommodating heavier junior riders. This upgrade should provide a more versatile riding experience.
-
Safety Features: Safety is a top priority for kids' bikes. The TSK50 includes an emergency lanyard that kills the engine in case the child falls off. Additionally, an adjustable throttle limiter allows parents to control the bike's speed and power, ensuring a safe learning environment.
-
Upgradeability: The TSK50 is designed to grow with young riders. Thumpstar offers the option to upgrade the forks and rear suspension to a taller configuration, extending the bike's service life as the child grows.
Overall, Thumpstar's TSK50 appears to be a well-thought-out choice for parents looking to introduce their children to the world of motorcycling in a safe and gradual manner. The combination of safety features, power upgrades, and the ability to expand the bike's capabilities as the child gains confidence and skill makes it an appealing option for young riders and their families.
Kill Switch and Lanyard
Safety is an important feature for kids just starting out and parents who are supervising. The TSK 50 comes equipped with an emergency lanyard which can be attached to your child's wrist and will instantly kill the bike should they come off.
Adjustable throttle
Parental control is a must on any motor bike where a child is just starting out and learning how to ride. We here at Thumpstar have tailored the TSK 50 to those junior riders who are learning, and given you the parent or teacher full control over your child's bike, with an easily adjustable throttle limiter, the speed and power delivery of the bike can be easily limited.
Waterproof Wiring
Building a bike that will last has been a main focus of ours since the beginning. This means we have to produce a motorcycle that will stand the test of time and exposure to the elements. We have given the TSK 50 the same waterproof wiring system that its bigger brothers, the TSX125 and TSX140, have.
Wrap Around Frame
Traditional mini bikes produced by our competitors have a CRF50 style frame. We went back to the drawing board and applied our knowledge from larger, heavier duty bikes. The new TSK50 frame is what we call a wrap-around frame where the swing arm sits between it and the engine, which reduces stress on the bearings and gives the overall system better strength.
Disc Brakes
Something more important than the power to go fast is stopping power. The TSK50 is well suited for this. With oversized front and rear disc brakes, it has more than enough stopping power to go from fast to stop in the blink of an eye.
Pipe Bomb Muffler
On a bike where the ideal places to ride are often backyards or parks where your child is learning, noise can often be an issue. Our pipe bomb muffler system keeps an optimal airflow while keeping the bike quiet and discreet.
