Off-road only

The Freego Nova 5 Mini is not street legal. No pedals, no US e-bike class rating and a 37 mph top speed on level three. The 10 mph first level makes it a sane bike to learn on, but it does not make it road legal. Ride it on private land, closed courses and OHV trails where local rules allow, and gear up - a small bike at 37 mph hurts exactly as much as a big one.

Overview

10 mph on level one, 37 on level three

A real mid-drive with a two-stage reduction, on a 99 lb frame with a speed cap you can actually set. Off-road and private property only.

The Nova 5 Mini is a mid-drive dirt bike scaled down rather than a toy scaled up. 1,500 W nominal and 2,500 W peak through a centrally mounted brushless motor, geared through a two-stage reduction - a 23:51 pulley into a 13:56 chain sprocket, 1:9.6 overall - on a 48V 21Ah pack worth 1,008 watt-hours.

What makes it usable for a newer or smaller rider is the three-level speed switch: level 1 caps the bike at 10 mph, level 3 opens it to 37 mph. Freego quotes up to 35 miles in Eco at 10 mph and about 20 miles in Sport at 30 mph. Brakes are two-piston hydraulics on 203 mm rotors at both ends, suspension is hydraulic front and rear, and wheels are a 14 inch front with a 12 inch rear on puncture-resistant tubed tires. Curb weight is 99 lb.

Off-road use only. No pedals, no US e-bike class, not street legal.

Power & Control

A two-stage reduction, 1:9.6 overall
Geared, Not Just Governed

A two-stage reduction, 1:9.6 overall

The Nova 5 Mini drives its rear wheel through a belt pulley reduction of 23:51 and then a chain sprocket reduction of 13:56 - 1:9.6 in total. That is why a 1,500 W nominal motor pulls like it does off the line. Most bikes this size use a hub motor and give you nothing to gear.

Three Levels, Real Caps

10 mph on level one

Level 1 holds the bike at 10 mph. Level 3 gives you all 37. That first level is the reason this is a defensible bike to put a newer rider on - it is a hard cap in the controller, not a request. Freego quotes up to 35 miles of range at 10 mph and about 20 at 30 mph.

1,008 Wh, and a four-hour charge

A 48V 21Ah pack worth 1,008 watt-hours, refilled by a 54.6V 3A charger in four to six hours. That is a sensible amount of energy for a 99 lb bike - enough for a full afternoon at trail speeds without the weight penalty of a 72V pack.

Freego's three small machines, and they are not interchangeable. The K1 is a genuine children's minibike at 15.5 mph. The X0 and the Nova 5 Mini both weigh 99 lb and do 37 to 40 mph - they fit smaller riders but they are not toys.

What riders say


Q&A

Questions riders actually ask


No. No pedals, no US e-bike class rating and 37 mph on the top level. Ride it on private property, OHV parks and trails that allow off-road vehicles.
It is smaller than a full-size e-moto, but level three does 37 mph and it weighs 99 lb, so it is not a toy. What makes it work for a younger or newer rider is level one, which caps the bike at 10 mph in the controller. Set it there, keep the key, and move up when they have earned it. Full gear either way. If you want something genuinely child-sized, look at the Freego K1 instead.
Freego publishes up to 35 miles in Eco at 10 mph, and about 20 miles in Sport at 30 mph, tested with a 165 lb rider on flat ground with no wind. Plan around the Sport figure.
Both are mini e-motos at around 99 lb. The Nova 5 Mini is a mid-drive with a two-stage gear reduction on a 48V 21Ah pack, geared for 37 mph. The X0 is a rear hub motor on a bigger 60V 23Ah pack, does 40 mph off-road, and adds turn signals and a rear brake light. The Mini gears better; the X0 carries more energy and more lighting.
Yes - Freego supplies a Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin for every Nova model, and we pass it on with the bike. Be clear about what that does and does not buy you. An MCO is the document a DMV asks for if a machine is registrable in your state; it is not itself a registration, a title or a promise. Freego's own words are that successful public-road registration for this series is extremely rare and they do not guarantee DMV registration or legal riding on public highways and city streets. Ask us for the MCO before you order if registration is the reason you are buying.
It ships free from Freego's warehouse in Chino, California. Freego dispatches in-stock bikes within 1 to 3 business days and quotes 3 to 8 business days in transit to the lower 48. Hawaii, Puerto Rico and other islands are not served - if that is you, talk to us before ordering and we can ship to a continental address you nominate. Inspect the crate before you sign for it, and photograph any damage on the spot.
Freego publishes a 2-year limited manufacturer warranty to the original retail purchaser, split by part. The frame, stem and handlebar are covered for 24 months. The motor, controller, battery pack and wheels are covered for 12 months - the motor specifically for 12 months or 10,000 miles, whichever comes first. Throttle, lights, pedal-assist sensor, display, switches and charger are covered for 3 months. Wear parts - grips, tires, tubes, fenders, fork, kickstand, brake pads, cables, rotors and gears - are covered for 30 days. The battery is covered against capacity loss beyond 20 percent under normal use. Freego supplies genuine parts free within cover and guarantees parts availability for two years; labor is not included. Start any claim with us at support@motorhabit.com.
It arrives part-assembled in a crate. Expect to fit the front wheel, handlebars, mirrors or fenders where fitted, charge the pack fully, and go over every fastener with a torque wrench before the first ride. Budget an hour and a set of hex keys.
