Hiboy DM14: 500 Watts or 750, and IPX4 or IPX5
Hiboy’s DM14 cart, read 15 October 2026, is $539.99 against $869.99. The spec block says a 750-watt peak, 48 volts, 9 amp-hours, 20 mph, 38 miles, 58 pounds, and IPX4. 9to5Toys, the same day, says a 500-watt motor with a 750-watt peak, IPX5, $539.98, and that Hiboy is sold out. Electrek printed the $539.98 and the ages, 8 to 14, and stopped. No pedals are in the spec list. No film turned up.

The short answer
The Hiboy DM14 is a kids’ dirt bike for ages 8 to 14, not a Class 1, 2, or 3 e-bike. Hiboy’s cart is $539.99 against $869.99, with a 750-watt peak, 48 volts, 9 amp-hours, and IPX4. 9to5Toys says 500 watts plus a 750-watt peak, IPX5, and that the cart is sold out. Forty-eight times 9 is 432 watt-hours.
The Hiboy DM14 is the third kids’ dirt bike on Electrek’s 15 October list, and it is not the DK1 or the DK2. Hiboy’s cart, opened the same day, shows $539.99 on sale and $869.99 regular, and the page says that is $330 off. Eight hundred sixty-nine point nine nine minus 539.99 is 330. Electrek and 9to5Toys print $539.98. That is one cent. 9to5Toys also says the bike is completely sold out at Hiboy. The cart this desk opened still had a price on it. A sold-out page and a priced page are not the same status. Ages are 8 to 14 on the cart, on Electrek, and on 9to5Toys. Hiboy adds a height of about 4 feet 5 inches to 5 feet 6 inches, and a maximum rider weight of 165 pounds. One hundred sixty-five divided by 2.2 is 75 kilograms.
Hiboy’s DM14 cart and 9to5Toys, both 15 October 2026. Electrek printed the price and the ages and did not print the rest. Do not average the conflicts.
| Hiboy’s cart | 9to5Toys | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $539.99, regular $869.99 | $539.98, and “completely sold out” at Hiboy |
| Motor | 750W peak. A nominal watt is not in the spec list. | 500W motor, 750W peak |
| Pack | 48V 9Ah. 48 × 9 = 432 Wh. Not printed. | 48V 9Ah. Same pair. Watt-hours still not printed. |
| Speed | 20 mph. Modes 20, then 15, then 8. | 20 mph. Modes 8, 15, and 20. Same three, the other order. |
| Range | Up to 38 miles | Up to 38 miles |
| Mass and load | 58 lb. Max load 165 lb. | 165 lb rider payload. The 58 lb is not in that paragraph. |
| Water | IPX4 | IPX5 |
| The rest | 18-inch pneumatic tires, suspension both ends, disc brake, charge 6.5 hours. Size 56.88 × 24.41 × 33.46 inches. | 18-inch extra-wide pneumatic tires, dual suspension, disc brakes, steel frame. No charge time. |
Five hundred is a nominal they added
The cart’s motor cell says 750 watts peak and does not print a second watt. 9to5Toys says 500 watts, with 750 as the peak. Seven hundred fifty minus 500 is 250. A peak and a nominal are not the same number, and only one of the two sources printed both. This desk will not pick 500 because a deal post added it, and will not pretend the cart’s silence is a denial. Neither number is a class. The spec list does not print pedals. A machine with no pedals in the list is not a Class 1, 2, or 3 e-bike, even when the top speed is 20 mph and a peak says 750. The class chart is the pedal test. The DK1 and DK2 fail it the same way, on smaller packs.
Four hundred thirty-two watt-hours, and 38 miles
Forty-eight times 9 is 432 watt-hours. The card does not print the watt-hours. Both sources say up to 38 miles. Four hundred thirty-two divided by 38 is 11.4 watt-hours per mile, if the claim and the pack are a pair. They did not print the rider’s weight or the mode. It is not a loop. The charge time on the cart is 6.5 hours. No charger amp is next to it, so 6.5 does not become a watt. IPX4 on the cart and IPX5 on 9to5Toys are neighboring ratings, not a typo this desk will fix. One extra digit is a different test. The mass is 58 pounds on the cart. Fifty-eight divided by 2.2 is 26.4 kilograms. 9to5Toys did not repeat it.
One cent on the price. One digit on the water rating. Two watts, and only one source printed both.
The DK2 on that same deal list is $299.97, and the DK1 is $359.95. Those pages already exist. This one is the 48-volt bike. No public film of the DM14 turned up. If Hiboy’s cart really is sold out, the $539.99 is a leftover price, not a bike you can add to a bag. The deal note is where Electrek’s one cent was first written down. The conflicts stay here.
Questions people ask
How much is the Hiboy DM14?+
Hiboy’s cart on 15 October 2026 showed $539.99, regular $869.99. Electrek and 9to5Toys print $539.98. 9to5Toys also says Hiboy is sold out. The one cent and the stock line are both on the record.
Is the DM14 an e-bike?+
Not under the class rules. The spec list does not print pedals. The cart says a 750-watt peak. 9to5Toys adds a 500-watt motor in front of that peak. Top speed is 20 mph. Missing pedals is the test that fails.

Hiboy DK1 / DK2: Everything You Need to Know

Nomad 2 Deal: $1,999, and 65 Miles Times Two
Electrek’s Green Deals post, 15 October 2026 at 11:00 am Pacific, does not cut the Velotric Nomad 2. The bike stays $1,999. The offer is a second battery they price at $550, and they say that doubles the range to 130 miles. Sixty-five times two is 130, and 65 is the hero claim already on this site. The same post prices two Hiboy kids’ bikes a few cents off the cards, and names a DM14 this site did not have. No film of the bundle turned up.

What Is a Class 1, 2, and 3 E-Bike?
Class 1 is pedal-assist to 20. Class 2 adds a throttle to 20. Class 3 is pedal-assist to 28. A Tuttio is none of these. The sticker is not the trail.
