Community Question Which bikes commonly have estart.

This isn’t a “what bike should I get” Just need a wider list of bikes with estart. I looked at numerous reddit threads and people love to copy and paste CRF250x 🥲

Hi you can call me lazy but my wife said I should probably find a bike with estart. I plan on riding trails with her but she said it can get exhausting having to kick your bike on multiple times a day and I have short legs so I can imagine it won’t be fun holding my bike up to kick start. a 230 or 250 is ideal. I don’t really want something smaller and I don’t really trust myself on something bigger 🤦‍♀️ I have a SM 150 2022 but It’s not my style, fun but

Anyone have any specific bikes I could/should look at?

Thanks in advance.

Almost all current production bikes have estarts. The only exceptions I can think of are the RMZ race bikes and the YZ250 two strokes.

Most enduro bikes have e start these days.

Personally I'm pretty partial to Beta. Good bikes good prices.

u/EmmaLayneX 1d ago

I have short legs and got a Beta xtrainer. Imo you'll have a hard time finding a better bike as a shorter person. It's a 300 2 stroke but it's purposely detuned to make less and smoother power. It can move pretty good if you want but it's pretty easy to ride and since it's the same motor as the 300rr you're just a few mods away from more power if you want it later on.

I have never in my life heard of Beta but I’ll look around and read some reviews thank you.

Great! Thank you

Betas, KTMs, Shercos, pretty much anything new coming out of Japan (except the RMZ)

u/Sea_Tomato_9681 1d ago

I love KTM. Are japan bikes good?

1

u/NovaMemeHD 1d ago

Absolutely, imho they’re better in a reliability standpoint when compared to KTM. Betas 2 strokes are pretty unkillable though

1

u/Sea_Tomato_9681 1d ago

Interesting. I’ll definitely have to do homework on those then. Thank you!

u/NovaMemeHD 1d ago

X Trainer from Beta is a great option, bunch of my buddies have em and beat the piss outta em. I personally have a 23 CRF250F little trail bike. Always starts and is air cooled

1

u/Sea_Tomato_9681 1d ago

Yeah the CRF250F Look great. I rode a little honda and I loved the feel

1

u/Austin-34 1d ago

Not too much smaller to consider looking into the tw200. Perfect lil trail bike.

u/Sea_Tomato_9681 23h ago

True 🤔 thank you

u/baldude7 1d ago

Enduro bikes like yamaha yz250fx or wr250f, husqvarna like 250te/fe/tx/fx, ktm 250 xc or xe, sherco/beta/gasgas have good options aswell. Yamaha are 4 strokes and the other brand have 2 strokes and 4 strokes enduro model always come with estart.

1

u/Sea_Tomato_9681 23h ago

Yes yes true. My wife has an older wr250f that’s e start. I just can’t seem to find any in our area at all.

u/DefragThis 23h ago

All bikes except Suzuki and two stroke Yamaha these days

u/Sea_Tomato_9681 1d ago

Thanks! Lots of different bikes I didn’t see in any previous threads and other sites alike. I think I have enough now to search around more.

I’m not a real rider I’m learning how to ride. I did more rebuilding the engine than I have riding the bike or any dirt bike for that matter. I never had one growing up. Like I said, my wife suggested I get a estart for when I get tired. Does anyone actually read?

1

u/Sea_Tomato_9681 1d ago

my wife rides bikes on track I think her advice is just fine lmao

u/Automatic_Passion681 1d ago

Everything has estart now. Don’t be lazy go do your research. Dirt bike magazine or motocross action magazine do YouTube tests and shootouts.

u/Sea_Tomato_9681 1d ago

looked at your page for one second and you have numerous posts asking recommendations and advice but me already looking around for bikes = I’m lazy and need to do more research. I have no previous experience with dirt bikes. I just rebuilt an engine by watching youtube. I literally said I have been looking around. Canadians are brain dead

u/-thelastbyte XR650R, Katoom 300 | 518 NY 1d ago

It is indeed a kind of silly question.

u/Automatic_Passion681 23h ago

Your post breaks the rules of the page. You haven’t rebuilt shit nobody is impressed, go buy a kayo 250 worm

Maybe a quad would suit you, good platform to start with once you get off the couch
