Delivered in the same styling as the popular 'FTR270' race bike, the 'eFTR Mini' was designed to enable younger riders to enjoy the sport without having to get on an adult-sized bike. In fact, according to the company, the youth-oriented bike is 20% small and 50% lighter than the 'eFTR Jr' -- another smaller-sized model designed for teenagers. In turn, the miniature motorbike allows the brand to "accommodate an even wider range of aspiring two-wheel riders,” explains Ross Clifford, Vice President of Parts, Garments, and Accessories at Indian Motorcycle. Equipped with a premium steel tube frame and a 24-volt rechargeable battery, the bike is capable of reaching speeds up to 14 miles per hour, making it a powerful [electric option for aspiring riders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yamaha-ye-01).
