MotoTec Hooligan 72cc 4-Stroke Dirt Bike
Mini dirt bike built for safe, simple off-road fun
The MotoTec Hooligan 72cc is a beginner-friendly kids' dirt bike that balances easy operation with real off-road performance. Its 72cc 4-stroke engine, electric start and automatic transmission make it simple to ride, while durable components like a Chromoly frame, hydraulic disc brakes and true rubber tires help it handle rough terrain and grow with your rider.
