The new Triumph TXP-12 and TXP-16 are electric dirtbikes for young riders. With age ranges of 3-5 and 5-7 respectively, the TXP bikes offer parental control of the riding experience and a modular design to be suitable for a range of skill levels and riding experiences.

The bikes were built through Triumph's acquisition of Oset, which took place in 2022. While Oset offers similar-sized electric dirtbikes called the 12.5R and 16.0R, the Triumph-branded models feature a few key differences, including brushless motors, waterproof lithium-ion batteries, and the modular design.

The 2-in-1 design allows both bikes to quickly switch between a trials bike and a seated off-road bike by removing or adding the seat and front fender. Both bikes also include safety features like a magnetic safety lanyard and two-stage startup, as well as a PIN-protected control panel that allows parents to set parameters for throttle response, speed, and power. The battery can be removed without tools, and the LED panel shows real-time battery status.
