Triumph Motorcycles acquired OSET in 2022 for a reason, and that has now materialized into a new age electric bike range that caters to kids, teenagers, and young adults. Before this, the British motorcycle maker had never ventured into the electric bike segment. With OSET’s vast experience in making trials bikes on the proven electric platform, Triumph has finally released the TXP range after three years.
Unlike most of the manufacturers who scale down the adult bike frames for younger riders, this bike range has custom geometry and a frame. There are four models in the lineup: TXP-12, TXP-16, TXP-20, and TXP-24. Every model comes with Field-Oriented Control (FOC) for seamless motor operation and Active Power Stabilization (APS). This results in consistent battery output when the battery depletes.

The bikes are IP67-rated for electronics and battery, thereby making them fit for any off-road skirmishes. For hardcore riders who love to take electric bikes to extreme trails, there is an easily removable lithium-ion battery pack for swapping batteries. What makes this new lineup stand out is the modular 2-in-1 configuration. The seat and mudguards can be removed to convert the dirt bike into a standing trials bike, called the Trials Mode. The normal configuration is dubbed the Xplore mode, given its capability in off-roading conditions.
The smallest of them, TXP-12, is built for kids as young as three, having a 600W motor. The most powerful among them is the TXP-24, which is powered by a 1600W brushless motor that handles adults weighing up to 198lbs. Suspension on each of the models scales from 50mm front/60mm rear on the TXP-12, to 160mm front/145mm rear on the TXP-24. For a better ride experience, the TXP-24 has air-sprung forks with rebound and compression adjustability. TXP-12 comes with cable-operated discs, while the higher-end TXP-24 has four-piston calipers. The mid-range models have hydraulic two-piston setups.
These bikes are designed to grow with the riders, with features and functions in place for maximum safety. There are PIN-protected speed controls, magnetic safety lanyards, ball-end brake levers, and child-specific grip sizing for the kids in particular. The livery also gives off a very Gen-Z vibe, making it ideal for youngsters. The more mature TXP-20 and TXP-24 models have diagnostic-ready electronics to show any display fault codes or service alerts. This makes troubleshooting in the wild easier, and perhaps life-saving.
The TXP-12 and TXP-16 bikes in the TXP range can be pre-ordered right now for $1,695 and $2,295, respectively, with pre-Christmas deliveries promised by Triumph. The TXP-20 and TXP-24 models are not yet available, with the U.K. pricing set at £3,195 (approximately $4,300) and £3,695 (approximately $4,950).
