Top 10 Electric Dirt Bikes of 2020-2021 (New and Trusted Motorcycle Models)

Dirt bikes were among the very first classes of motorcycles to get electrified, due to the riders’ lower range expectations and willingness to sacrifice some running time for the incredible riding dynamics that instant torque of an EV can offer. Through the years the number of such models has grown tenfold and calls for a separate video on our channel. We will be exploring the industry’s leaders and the all-new additions to the class that emerged in 2020!

  1. Well, they are cool…but they don?t look cool. The only nice looking is the KTM. And the biggest Problem over here is, you only can drive it on street. The rest is forbidden in my country. :-/

  2. -!1&.
    Tp

  3. THEY LOOK TO MUCH LIKE BICYCLES TO GET MORE SERIOUS RIDERS TO SWITCH. SOMEONE NEEDS TO TAKE A TEAM OF MOTOCROSS CHAMPS FROM HONDA, SUZUKI OR YAMAHA, AND HAVE THEM HELP DESIGN THE BIKE… BUT I WANT A DUAL SPORT BIKE DESIGN. 21 IN WHEEL SHLD BE STOCK, BUT I WANT A MAN’S BIKE NOT A KIDS SIZE BIKE… NOT EVERYONE IS 130LBS… #280 AND I WANT ONE WITH POWER TO SPARE, ALSO DESIGN THE BATTERY LAYOUT/ CAAY COMPARTMENT/TOOLBOX/CELL PHONE CHARGER TO AT LEAST RESEMBLE AN ENGINE… NOT KIDS CORNEY FAKE, BUT NICELY DONE SO YOU KNOW ITS NOT AN ENGINE UP CLOSE, BUT NOT FROM A DISTANCE. I LIKE THE FEEL OF A TANK BETWEEN MY LEGS… SO MAYBE ADD A WATER TANK/SPEEDO/TACH LIKE ON A BIG HARLEY TO LOOK LIKE A GAS TANK…

  4. Really like the idea of this new class of bike. I love motorbikes and am looking for an enduro but also tempted with one of these hyper ebike off road things.

  5. Are any of these bikes 100% automatic (transmission)?

  6. i need one😢

  7. Surron or Zero FX appear to be the best value currently. I’m considering getting the Surron in the spring.

  8. I have the Sur-Ron and am loving it. Only changes were to replace the stock mountain bike tires with motorcycle tires and replaced the rear sprocket 48T to a 58T. Has more low end power now for climbing hills and top speed is reduced to 38MPH with a 190LB rider.

  9. I wish there was a bike for me but they are not even close to doing one of my 200 mile mountain and desert rides ranging between 30 and 90 mph.

  10. Who the crap is going to spend 10k on a eletric dirt bike

  11. Im.in process to build e dirt bikes website
    Better than all those
    All these bikes are from china
    Only thsy put the logo brand
    Ans but a brand mark on it
    They get it from 1700 and sell.ot for 7000
    I love city e bikes

  19. Marcelo Forastieri January 30, 2021 @ 8:05 pm

    Essas bikes no Braza🇧🇷🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️rárrárrá…. nunca serão 😭😭😭

  20. Great presentation! Still, a speaker with less tiring English would be appreciated.

  21. It’s funny that you run an electric dirt bike, but you charge it up out in the field with a petrol generator.
    Whats the point ???.
    Just run a petrol dirt bike as usual… Derrrrrrrrr….

  22. Look on czech republice boxxbike TOP!!

  23. My Dad was hinting this to me now that I think About it I should have gotten it but my Ancheer is Great

  24. alta exr is my fav

  25. Are all of these legal without a licenses

  26. Are you talking in Australian dollars?

  27. Александр Домонтович January 30, 2021 @ 8:10 pm

    Why didn’t you include Alta Motors Redshift EXR?

  28. The kuberg ranger This company I had bought a bike from I need your help to get a phone number because it was a false advertisement what they give me was a little toy motorcycle in a little package they didn’t give me the real bike so anybody else would think the by this bike from this company tell him the F off so I need the phone number so I could get my money back from I wonder if you can help

  29. these things cost so much. Be as well getting a petrol bike.

  30. Nope.
    Radio Control pilots/flyers were the first to bring the original Li-poly batteries (Qualcomm, and few others) into more promotion aimed at the “consumer computer/recluse nerd” market. Started aboot 1999.
    just sayin’

  31. Adventures in Cameronology January 30, 2021 @ 8:19 pm

    I see 3 E-Dirtbikes and 7 all electric mountain bikes

  32. I want a Ktm free ride so bad but i think the range is to small, i hope they come out with longer lasting batteries for it

  33. We’re can I get one

  34. IMHO Cake is the best bike in this list.

  35. Do you need a license to drive this on the state of PA?

  36. Torp should release an EDO version ; )

  37. Your video format was perfect, all data where I was expecting it to be 👍

  38. Александр Домонтович January 30, 2021 @ 8:34 pm

    Nice video! Why didn’t you include russian e-bike EMAX DWX 25?

  39. Why did you not include the CZEM, it might be one of the best of the lightweights. Torp is still a year away.

  40. Zero FX is my favorite. Tried one for a week and will go for it although expensive

  41. About Australia 🇦🇺

  42. A lot of money to ride a battery 😑

  43. Why is it that nothing still compares to the Alta? I need an Alta quality race bike that can go a full two hour Hare Scrambles at A class race speed. Does anyone know if anything like that exists? The real word range is never the published range so sadly non of these fine ebikes will cut it. They are great for the casual fun ride no doubt, but cannot handle the rigors of racing. In order to defeat the ICE bikes we need a long lasting battery or at least a ten second hot swappable battery.

  44. Ordered the kuberg ranger, going to see how it compares against my 2-strokes lol. Feels like it might be a fun change up though. Great summary of latest options!

  45. I am looking to get a dirt bike for my very first time i will be 15 when i have it. Do you have any recommendations?

  46. Mostafizur Rahman January 30, 2021 @ 8:47 pm

    Nice

  47. Prices are overpriced by 3-5 times. According to the characteristics, for 2500-3500 $ you can collect similar ones.

  48. petrol has 100 x the energy density of a battery but I’m guess that roads will have on road changing eventually. (on the move)

  49. LUDOVIK SNAFU MALKOVICH January 30, 2021 @ 8:49 pm

    Why are they so exspensive. When you cost the components from China. Motor. Battery. Controller. Add in a frame. Forks. Swing arm. Seat. How do they cost £8K+. China will copy these machines and alibaba will sell them at a fraction of the cost. Seems like people think they have made the best e-bike ever and only need to sell a few hundred to very rich people. How about sell them cheap to everyone. "Stack em high sell em cheap"
