The Mondraker Play 26 is a lightweight electric mountain bike built to help young riders ride further, tackle tougher trails, and build confidence with every adventure. Inspired by Mondraker’s adult performance bikes, it combines modern geometry, natural-feeling electric assistance, and trail-ready components in a capable package designed specifically for progressing riders.
Its Alloy Stealth Evo frame features a low-slung integrated 250Wh battery to improve stability and agility, while the updated kid-specific Forward Geometry delivers confident handling and control on technical terrain. Internal cable routing and modern frame shaping give the Play 26 the same premium aesthetic and ride feel as Mondraker’s full-size mountain bikes.
The Mahle X35 motor system provides smooth and natural pedal assistance with 40Nm of torque, helping younger riders climb further and ride longer without compromising the feel of the bike. A 120mm X-Fusion air suspension fork, SRAM Eagle 12-speed drivetrain, powerful four-piston SRAM brakes, and wide 2.4" tyres complete a highly capable trail-ready e-MTB designed for serious fun on every ride.
Children must be aged 14 or over in the UK to legally ride an e-bike on public roads or spaces. Laws and regulations regarding the use of electric bicycles vary significantly by geographic area, even within a particular country or state. Prior to your purchase, in addition to making sure your child is ready to handle the added acceleration and weight an electric bike can provide, be sure to inform yourself of all applicable requirements and restrictions, including age restrictions. Always wear a helmet and practice riding with your child in a controlled environment before going on their first ride.
