For years, Stacyc has been synonymous with kids’ balance bikes, electric progression, and building confident young riders from the ground up. Known worldwide for redefining what a Balance Bike can be, Stacyc has helped bridge the gap between Strider-style beginnings and real-world riding skills.
Now, that philosophy takes a bold step forward.
Introducing the Stacyc 20hDrive — the brand’s first-ever electric bike designed for adults, built to keep families riding together.
From Kids Balance Bike to Family Riding Experience
The rise of the electric balance bike has completely changed how kids learn to ride. Brands like Strider and Stacyc helped establish balance-first learning as the gold standard for kids bikes, replacing training wheels with confidence and control.
The 20hDrive is the natural evolution of that journey.
Instead of kids riding while parents walk alongside, the Stacyc 20hDrive allows parents to ride together with their children — on a bike that carries the same Stacyc DNA, just scaled up for adults.
What Is the Stacyc 20hDrive?
The Stacyc 20hDrive is a Class 2 electric bike, combining pedal assist and a twist throttle, capable of speeds up to 32km/h. Unlike the brand’s youth-focused balance bikes, the 20hDrive features a more traditional bicycle layout while keeping the simplicity and accessibility Stacyc is known for.
Designed as a recreational e-bike, it’s approachable, intuitive, and family-focused — not intimidating, not overbuilt.
Designed for Parents, Inspired by Kids Bikes
One of the most unique aspects of the 20hDrive is how it stays true to Stacyc’s roots.
While it’s clearly an adult e-bike, it borrows heavily from what made Stacyc successful in the kids balance bike world:
- Simple controls
- Predictable power delivery
- Lightweight, confidence-inspiring geometry
- Minimal learning curve
This makes the 20hDrive a perfect match for parents who already trust Stacyc for their children.

Three Riding Modes for Real-World Use
The 20hDrive features three selectable speed modes, making it adaptable for different riding environments and comfort levels:

This mirrors the progression-based mindset found in kids balance bikes — start slow, build confidence, then unlock more performance.

Stacyc didn’t cut corners when it comes to rider safety.

A True “Family Bike” Concept
What makes the Stacyc 20hDrive special isn’t just the specs — it’s the purpose behind it.
This bike exists so:
- Kids ride their Stacyc balance bikes
- Parents ride the 20hDrive
- Families ride together
Few brands genuinely connect the kids bike world with adult riding in such a seamless way.
Price & Availability
The Stacyc 20hDrive will be available starting March 11 2025, with a retail price of $3,199.
For families already invested in Stacyc, Strider, or the balance bike ecosystem, this represents a smart, long-term investment rather than just another e-bike.
Final Thoughts: Stacyc Grows Up — Without Forgetting Its Roots
The Stacyc 20hDrive isn’t trying to compete with high-performance e-MTBs or commuter e-bikes. Instead, it stays true to what Stacyc does best: approachable, confidence-building riding experiences.
From kids balance bikes to adult e-bikes, Stacyc continues to focus on progression, fun, and family connection.
For parents who started their journey with a Balance Bike, the 20hDrive is the next chapter.
