Pukka!
|
Performance
Speed: 19mph Acceleration: 0-19mph in 3-5 seconds Range: up to 24 miles on a single charge (based on rider weight)
So what’s different about a Pukka?
|
Mechanical
Frame: Oversized tube, monoshock suspension
Size: Wheel base 26", height to top of handlebars 34", height
to seat (lowest position) 26"
Handlebar and stem: BMX-style
Wheels: Split-rim, tubeless, high-speed precision bearings
Tires: Puncture-resistant, tubeless (allows for flat repair
without removing wheels from bike)
Drive train: #25 series chain.
Clutch-bearing, primary sprocket. Rapid chain
tensioning system. (allows for chain removal
or installation in seconds without tools)
Seat clamp: quick-release
| Despite first impressions, the Pukka is not indestructible. You can’t back over it with your motor home. You can’t toss it out the back of speeding pickup. But ruling out extreme abuse, the Pukka will take pretty much whatever comes. | ![]() |
|
Consider the Pukka frame, for example: Oversized tubing. Flawless welds. Powder-coat finish. Beautiful! And then there’s the wheels: Split-rim construction. 8-bolt pattern. Tubeless design with built-in valve stem and precision cartridge bearings. We could go on and on, but you get the point: the Pukka is loaded with highly engineered, top-drawer components that are not only built tough, but which also look tough. |
Electrical
Motor: 400 Watt, high-efficiency. 4-brush.
Voltage: 24
Battery: 18Ah (2hr), deep-cycle,
rapid-discharge, SLA
Ignition: Keyed switch
System design: Modular—allows for easy troubleshooting and
rapid replacement of warn-out parts
System control: Pulse Width Modulator (PWM), provides accurate
acceleration sensitivity, and redundant shutdown protection against system
overloads
The Pukka’s electrical system is the perfect blend of sophistication and simplicity. The heart of the system is the highly evolved PWM. From its double-sided PCB layout to its dual Schottky diodes and beefy, automotive-grade relay, the PWM is a genuine, best-in-its-class component.
But for all the PWM’s sophistication, the Pukka’s modular electrical system
is a paradigm of simplicity. In the rare event of a component malfunction,
almost anyone can troubleshoot the problem and install a replacement part in
minutes.
Safety
Electrical system control: Pulse Width Modulator (PWM)
• Parental Speed Control (PSC™)—allows a parent to
lock top speed at 14mph (keyed switch)
• Softstart—prevents unintentional wheelies
• Brake-activated power shutoff—prevents the brake and the motor from being
activated simultaneously
• Ignition/throttle shutdown—prevents acceleration if ignition switch is turned
on while throttle is activated
• Redundant relay protection—eliminates the possibility of relay welding under
extreme system abuse
Frame: Oversized steel tubing, monoshock suspension
Throttle: Variable speed, thumb activated—minimizes accidental
acceleration
Tires: Puncture-resistant, tubeless
Brake: 90mm, all-weather, band-style

| The Pukka is a paradox: It’s not only the most thrilling electric ride-on money can buy, it’s arguably the safest. | ![]() |
Why, you might ask.
|
Bikes are safer than scooters. It’s just that simple. For example, brake too fast on a scooter and you’ll likely do a face plant. But lock up the brake on a Pukka and you should skid to a stop without incident. Hit a speed bump or pothole too fast on a scooter and you could become a projectile. In contrast, the Pukka’s monoshock suspension and frame geometry allow you to handle most unforeseen obstacles with ease. |
| Aside from the inherently stable ride, every Pukka comes standard with PSC™ technology, enabling you to lock the top speed at 14mph, and a cadre of additional safety features that most of our competitors haven’t yet listed on a white board, let alone engineered into their products. | ![]() |
