Engine sizes and what they feel like

A 79cc-98cc engine is a walking-pace first machine. 125cc-170cc covers most youth trail riding. 196cc-212cc — the Predator class — is the sweet spot for adult karts and mini bikes, easy to tune and cheap to service. 300cc and up is for two-seaters and hauling weight uphill.

Gas versus electric

Gas — longer runtime, refuel in seconds, more parts and tuning options.
Electric — quiet, near-zero maintenance, ideal for neighbourhoods and younger riders, limited by battery range.
