Mondraker Play 26 – Kids’ Electric Hardtail Mountain Bike
Built for Young Trail Riders
The Mondraker Play 26 is a purpose-built kids’ electric hardtail mountain bike designed for ambitious young riders who are ready to take their trail skills to the next level. With larger 26” wheels, more suspension travel and upgraded components, it strikes the perfect balance of capability, control and confidence for juniors stepping up from smaller bikes.
Frame & Drive System
At the core of the Play 26 is a 6061 Alloy Stealth Evo hardtail frame, built with hydroformed tubing and fully integrated internal cable routing for a clean, premium look. The 250Wh Mahle Ebikemotion battery sits seamlessly in the downtube, paired with the Mahle X-35 motor system for smooth, natural pedal-assist support. A slimline Ebikemotion display keeps controls simple, making this junior e-MTB easy to use on any ride.
Braking & Drivetrain
Braking is handled by SRAM G2 R four-piston callipers with a 180mm front rotor and 160mm rear rotor, delivering powerful and consistent stopping control with tool-free reach adjustment for smaller hands. The drivetrain comes from SRAM’s renowned Eagle system, with a GX rear derailleur, NX shifter and SX crankset running a 12-speed 11-52T cassette and 30T chainring. This gives the Play 26 a huge gear range, perfect for both steep climbs and fast descents.
Suspension & Wheels
The Play 26 features a X-Fusion Velvet RL 26 fork with 120mm of air-sprung travel, offering extra capability and control over rougher trails. The larger 26” wheels roll on MDK-HP1 rims, paired with wide Kenda Booster 2.4” tyres to give the right mix of rolling speed, grip and stability — a noticeable step up in performance compared to smaller-wheeled kids’ mountain bikes.
More Than a Scaled-Down Bike
The Mondraker Play 26 isn’t just a scaled down adult bike – it’s a carefully engineered kids’ hardtail e-MTB that equips young riders with the tools to push their riding further. With more suspension, larger wheels, a wider gear range and dropper post functionality, it’s the perfect choice for juniors who want to ride harder, faster and with more confidence on challenging terrain.
