E-Moto
Pedals optional

Where e-bikes stop pretending. Dirt-bike geometry, motorcycle suspension, and power figures that make the moped class look tame.

$4,600
Motor6,000W peak
Battery60V 32Ah

The bike that invented the segment. Still the platform with the deepest aftermarket on the planet.

  • 110lb curb weight makes it approachable for riders coming off bicycles
  • Resale is bulletproof — the Toyota Hilux of e-motos

Sur-Ron Ultra Bee

$6,700
Motor12,500W peak
Battery74V 55Ah
Range55-90 mi
Top speed56 mph
Weight187 lbs

Sur-Ron's full-size answer. Real dirt-bike dimensions and enough torque to embarrass a 250F off the line.

  • 74V architecture and 12.5kW peak — a genuine step up from the Light Bee
  • Full-size ergonomics; adult riders finally fit properly
  • Heavier and thirstier than the Light Bee — pick your poison

Talaria Sting R MX4

$4,499
Motor8,000W peak
Battery60V 45Ah
Range45-70 mi

Weight121 lbs

The most popular Sur-Ron alternative in the US, and the one most riders say handles better stock.

  • MX4 spec brings a stronger swingarm and upgraded controller
  • Talaria's US dealer network has grown fast — parts are easy now

Talaria XXX

$5,999
Motor10,000W peak
Battery72V 45Ah
Range50-75 mi

Talaria's flagship. Full-size chassis, 72V, and the closest thing to a real enduro bike in this price bracket.

  • 72V system with a proper liquid-cooled controller
  • Full-size frame with adjustable suspension front and rear
  • The bike Talaria points at when someone says Ultra Bee

Stark FutureBrand site only

Stark Varg EX

$11,900
Motor60 hp / 938 Nm
Battery6.5 kWh
Range~6 hrs trail
Top speed~68 mph
Weight260 lbs

The one that beats petrol. 60 horsepower, factory-team results, and a phone bolted to the bars as a dash.

  • Genuinely faster than a 450F, and the racing results back it up
  • Power output adjustable from 10hp to 60hp via the app
  • This is a motorcycle. A different class of machine, and a different budget

Altis Sigma

$4,799
Motor25 kW peak / 34 hp
Torque601 Nm
Battery97.2V 35Ah (3.4 kWh)
Top speed63 mph (2025 MX)
Weight~198 lbs

The spec sheet that makes a Sur-Ron look old. 25kW peak and 601 Nm from a hairpin motor, for less than half the price of a Stark Varg.

  • 601 Nm and 34 hp, the biggest numbers on this page outside the Stark
  • 97V system running Samsung 50S cells, 20 to 80 percent in two hours
  • Sold out online right now, so check stock before you order

Segway X260

$3,299
Motor5,000W peak
Battery60V 32Ah
Range46-74 mi
Top speed46 mph
Weight121 lbs

The mainstream-brand pick. Segway's scale means dealer support and parts availability the boutique brands cannot match.

  • Backed by a company with actual retail distribution and service
  • Fox-derived suspension and a well-sorted stock setup
  • Often discounted hard — watch for sub-$3,000 pricing

Segway X160

$2,699
Motor3,000W peak
Battery48V 20Ah
Range40-60 mi
Top speed31 mph
Weight91 lbs

The gateway drug. Smaller, lighter and slower — which makes it the right first e-moto for a teenager or a nervous adult.

  • 91lb weight makes it genuinely manageable for smaller riders
  • Same build quality as the X260 in a scaled-down package
  • The honest recommendation when someone's kid wants a Sur-Ron

E Ride Pro SS 3.0

$4,999
Motor16,000W peak
Battery72V 50Ah
Range60-100 mi
Top speed62 mph
Weight165 lbs

Spec-sheet royalty. 72V, 50Ah and 16kW peak for five grand — nothing else offers these numbers at this price.

  • The biggest battery in the class by a wide margin
  • 62mph claimed, which needs the standard reality check
  • Build quality is the question mark; the spec sheet is not

Rawrr Mantis

$3,999
Motor8,000W peak
Battery72V 40Ah
Range50-80 mi
Top speed53 mph
Weight150 lbs

The design-led challenger. Rawrr came out of nowhere with a chassis that looks better than anything at the price.

  • 72V at four grand, undercutting Talaria's flagship
  • EEC-homologated variants exist — road legal in some markets
  • Genuinely distinctive styling in a category of Sur-Ron clones

79Bike Falcon M

$3,299
Motor6,000W peak
Battery72V 32Ah
Range45-70 mi
Top speed50 mph
Weight143 lbs

The value play that keeps showing up in comparison tests against bikes a thousand dollars dearer.

  • 72V system at a Segway X260 price
  • Inverted fork and piggyback shock as standard
  • Small brand, so warranty terms deserve a close read

$2,469
Motor8,000W peak
Battery72V 35Ah (2.5 kWh)
RangeUp to 50 mi
Top speed56 mph
Weight161 lbs

72 volts and 8,000 watts for under $2,500. Right now it is the cheapest way onto a full-size electric dirt bike.

  • 72V 35Ah and a claimed 56 mph at Segway X160 money
  • The controller tunes from the app, which almost nothing does at this price
  • 198 lb rider limit, which rules a lot of riders out

$1,399
Motor52V mid-drive, 4160W peak
Battery52V 26Ah (1352Wh), removable
Weight125 lb

Under $1,400 and shaped like a dirt bike. The cheapest way into the aesthetic by a mile.

  • Full suspension and fat tires at an entry-level price
  • Heybike's US warranty support is a real differentiator down here
  • Be clear-eyed: this is an e-bike wearing dirt-bike clothes

Yozma IN 10 Pro

$1,799
Motor60V mid-drive, 5,000–5,500W
Battery60V 27Ah, removable under seat

The newcomer worth watching. Punchy spec, sharp price, and a brand actively courting reviewers.

  • Strong power-per-dollar against the established names
  • Full suspension and hydraulic brakes as standard
  • New enough that long-term reliability data does not exist yet

  • Class-compliant, so it stays legal on more trails
