CONCLUSION

If you are looking for the best 125cc dirt bike under 1,000$, you might be looking for a Coolster or an Apollo 125cc. They are both really good for the price, great for beginner riders,  easy and cheap to replace parts if broken, and the average max Speed is 45MPH. Both have its problems like their quality not being as a branded one, but you can get a really decent dirt bike that you or your kid can enjoy for your budget. If you prefer an electric bike, here are some of the top options.


If you are not pleased with the carburetor  of the apollo (we suggest you change it), or you want to replace any other part with a branded part, you can. So you build your own customized dirt bike having these chinese bikes as a foundation and replacing and customizing whatever you want to. But also don't forget that maintenance also includes cleaning your bike thoroughly. Read our guide on how to clean a dirt bike air filter.


If you are looking for CARB approved (California Street legal), you should  get either the Coolster or SSR.  If you have the money, we absolutely suggest you get the Youth SR125 Jumper because it is a really good quality bike and you will see the difference in the type of parts they use and the way it works. However, not everyone has 1500 bucks to buy one so we decided to put it in the 3rd place in our chart. With it, doing jumps (tips listed here) or tricks will be much easier.
