2022 Beta Minitrial Electric 16 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Beta's minibike, cross motorcycle platform, the 2022 Beta Minitrial Electric 16 features a purpose-built air-cooled electric configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 1 HP (0.7 kW), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 1-speed gearbox and chain final drive.

On the scales, the Minitrial Electric 16 measures 24.5 kg (54 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 490 mm (19.3 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 895 mm (35.2 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry.
