Triumph Motorcycles leaps into the eBike space with TXP lineup

Triumph Motorcycles has announced its first youth motorcycle range with four electric bikes joining the wider model range.

It's been a while since we've seen much in terms of EV tech out of Triumph's Hinckley factory, but that doesn't mean it hasn't been on their mind with the British brand having just dropped a range of eBikes aimed at youth and adults alike.

Triumph's first electric youth motorcycles are the fruit of the brand's recent takeover of the familiar OSET brand which has long been a player in the space, with the newly announced Triumph TXP range proudly stating on their frames that they are powered by OSET.

In the dirt world, it seems that if you don't have an electric option for the youngest riders, you're not in the game, and hot off the back of Triumph's recent dirt bike launches it makes a bit of sense for the brand to now be looking at other off-road options.

But will they come to the New Zealand market? The TXP range look quite appealing, but local distributor Triumph Motorcycles NZ has not announced local availability or pricing at the time of writing.

The new Triumph TXP range starts with the TXP-12 for children as young as three, followed by the TXP-16 and the TXP-20 for growing riders, culminating in the largest and most powerful TXP-24, which is ideal for children over the age of ten, teenagers and adults up to 90kg. Available to order now at selected Triumph dealerships around the world, with pre-Christmas delivery, the TXP range is the ultimate gift for adventurous families.

Each TXP model features a brushless motor for smooth, predictable power, scaled to rider age and experience. From the 600W TXP-12 to the 1600W TXP-24, the range delivers responsive torque with adjustable throttle response, speed, and power. Smart control systems include FOC (Field-Oriented Control), a motor management system that applies magnetic fields at optimal intervals to deliver maximum torque and smooth response, and Active Power Stabilisation (APS), that ensures consistent power output even as the battery depletes, maintaining peak performance throughout the ride. High-capacity lithium batteries feature IP67-rated waterproofing and diagnostic support for added reliability.

The TXP bikes are built on lightweight steel frames with age-specific geometry, two seat height options and child-friendly ergonomics. Suspension setups are scaled to rider size, with adjustable forks and shocks supporting growth and varied terrain. Each bike is designed to grow with the rider, with tool-free configuration changes and intuitive control layouts.

Braking systems range from cable-operated on the TXP-12 to four-piston hydraulic disc brakes on the TXP-24, ensuring safe, progressive stopping power. Each model is extensively tested in off-road environments and built to Triumph’s high standards, with premium specifications that mirror its full-size off-road motorcycles.

Robust safety systems ensure peace of mind for parents and create secure, confidence-building experiences for young riders. Age-appropriate controls and ergonomics to support safe, confident riding. Features include magnetic safety lanyards and PIN-protected parental speed controls, two-stage startup sequences and IP67-rated water-resistant electronics.

The TXP’s unique 2in1 modular design, features a removable seat and mudguard, enabling parents and riders to switch easily between seated off-road riding (XPlore mode) and standing trials-style (Trials mode).

For Triumph's CEO, Nick Bloor, the launch of the TXP range is an exciting step to empowering more riders.

“The TXP range represents an exciting new chapter for Triumph, he said. “Since bringing OSET into the Triumph family, we’ve blended our expertise to develop a range that’s not only technically advanced but also rooted in real-world riding experience. By combining our off-road race-winning engineering experience with OSET’s proven electric trials expertise, we have created a product line that can empower the next generation of riders.

“As a family business, I’m excited to see families riding Triumphs together, sharing the joy of motorcycling across generations. Riding an electric bike helps young riders develop motor skills, balance, and coordination, but it also builds confidence and a lifelong love for motorcycling.”

“Being part of Triumph has given OSET the platform to scale our technology and reach new riders, Ian Smith, OSET Founder added. “The TXP range carries forward everything we’ve built, from trials championships to community riding. With the support of Triumph dealers across the world we can reach more families, support more communities, and continue to evolve the technology that’s helped thousands of young riders discover the thrill of two wheels. It’s about taking fun seriously, and building the future of the sport.”

Triumph Motorcycles NZ has yet to announce local availability for the Triumph TXP range, with the local distributor taking indent orders from dealers to gauge local interest. Kiwis, after all, seem to be slow to jumping on the electric band wagon.
