Vroom Vroom
The HillMiles MilePop01 is a mini dirt bike with a party trick: a built-in speaker that can play engine sounds or act as a regular Bluetooth speaker. It’s hilarious and unique—even if, like me, you’ll probably ride with the engine noises off and just keep the Bluetooth for music. The good news: you can toggle the sounds with a button, or even unplug the engine-sound harness and leave Bluetooth enabled (you’ll lose the horn when you do).
Under the fairings, though, it’s a real machine: 3,000W mid-drive, legit dirt-bike suspension, strong hydraulic brakes, and a compact 14″/12″ wheel setup that keeps the seat low and the bike super tossable for kids and smaller riders. It’s like a pocket-sized scrambler with a boombox for a heart.

Powertrain & Speed
This isn’t a hub-motor toy. The MilePop01 runs a 3,000W mid-drive that drives the rear wheel by chain, so torque hits early and clean. Top speed lands around 31–32 mph stock (it feels like there’s more in reserve, but the controller might keep it capped). The dash even shows amp draw, and I briefly saw ~70A peaks during hard acceleration—no wonder it pops off the line.
Throttle tuning ramps in smoothly (new riders won’t get bucked), yet there’s enough shove to climb grass hills and rip light trails. I did notice occasional throttle “stickiness”, which should be an easy fix.

What’s Different (and Who It Fits)
- Kid/smaller-rider friendly: 14″ front and 12″ rear wheels keep the saddle low; at 5’9″ I’m slightly too big, but a teen or smaller adult can flat-foot and maneuver it easily.
- Speaker gimmick that actually works: Six engine sound profiles, plus Bluetooth audio that’s surprisingly loud. Default sound is on at startup; hold the side button to cycle/disable, or unplug the big connector to kill engine sounds permanently while keeping BT audio (horn is tied to the speaker, so it goes away).
- Plastics/fairings feel sturdy: Thicker than a lot of budget pit-bike plastics; the front cowl can wiggle a bit, but overall it feels solid.
Suspension, Brakes & Handling
You get inverted forks with gaiters up front and a rear coil shock with an air valve for fine-tuning. It’s legitimately plush on trail chatter, with enough rebound control to stay composed; I bottomed it once on a big hit, but overall it’s very capable off-road.
Braking is a high point: two-piston hydraulic front and single-piston rear with serious bite—stops hard without fading. Steering is light and the low center of gravity helps the handling. On pavement, the knobby tires are noisy and will wear quickly, so swap to street tread if you’re mostly road-riding.

Pros
- Compact, kid-friendly size with real dirt-bike feel
- Punchy 3,000W mid-drive; climbs and accelerates hard
- Hydraulic brakes with serious stopping power
- Suspension feels legit off-road for a mini
- Bluetooth speaker can stay while engine sounds are disabled
Cons
- Fake engine sounds are not for everybody (cool for kids, cringe for adults)
- Stock 31–32 mph limit; unclear tuning path for more top speed
- No taillight/turn signals for street use
- Occasional sticky throttle; knobbies loud on pavement
- Battery isn’t quick-swap; seat is firm for larger riders
Battery, Range & Practical Bits
A 25Ah pack feeds the 3000w motor. The battery lives under the plastics, so it’s not easily swappable like most bikes, though you can charge it easily on the bike. Expect 15-20 miles of hard riding or 20–30+ miles with chill mixed riding; I finished a test day with ~16 miles logged and 1-2 battery bars left in the tank. There’s a bright headlight but no taillight/turn signals. Horn uses the speaker module (and disappears if you unplug engine sounds at the harness). Rated load is 265 lb, so it’s clearly targeted at smaller riders.
Verdict
In a growing and competitive mini pit bike segment, the MilePop01 finds a unique way to stand out. As a first e-moto for kids and teenagers, its a riot. If you’re an adult, you may want to get a bigger bike, like the Anycom DB1, or Happyrun G300 Pro.
Even if the artificial exhaust sounds and bluetooth speaker aren’t my thing, It’s nice to see companies trying something different. And to be fair, I can see how kids would find the engine sounds fun.
Everything feels well made and safe, and the throttle mapping eases you into the power, so you can feel safe putting your kids on this bike. If you’re shopping mini dirt-bike e-motos (think Tuttio Soleil01 class) and want something unique that still rides like a real machine, the HillMiles MilePop01 is absolutely worth a look!
