Just like the Tesla, electric motocross bikes are taking the scene by storm. Not only are they eco-friendly, but they require less maintenance and even last longer. They are becoming more and more similar to their not-so-eco-friendly counterparts and sometimes you can’t even tell the difference.

With this in mind, now is the best time to invest in a new e-dirt bike – whether you are a new rider looking for a starting bike, or someone with experience looking for a bit of change in your next upgrade.

The issue is, similar to most things when it comes to shopping, that there is too much choice. It is easy to be overwhelmed by how much there is out there. Too much to offer means that you have to make a decision – one that you hope is the right one. This leads to trying to compare all the different models, judging the suspension, weight, chassis design and on and on.

Here at Moto101, we have made that decision simple. By doing all the heavy lifting for you, it gives you more time to do what you want to do: being out there on the track with the wind behind you.

We have broken all the different options down, narrowing it to our top three recommendations. With these three electric motocross bikes, we have considered all the factors that make them great, so you don’t have to.

Sur-Ron

Starting with the Sur-Ron Light Bee. Manufactured by the Chinese company Sur-Ron, the Light Bee is an excellent bike designed specifically for off-roading whilst also making it at an affordable price.

It excels when it comes to its various riding modes, ranging from eco to sport. These allow you to adjust the power output on the fly, all depending on your situation. This is all done with little to no difficulty.

The Light Bee’s aluminium frame makes it considerably lighter than its competing gas-powered bikes. Who doesn’t love a bike that is easier to control – especially when it comes to those tight corners and close-off-road moments?

Being an electric motocross bike, it is equipped with a mid-drive electric-motor – with power outputs that range from 3kW to 6kW.

In addition to the motor, the Light Bee has a high-capacity lithium-ion battery that offers a charge of around 40-60 miles, depending on riding conditions and rider behaviour.

When it comes to suspension, the bike is equipped with adjustable front forks and rear shock absorbers, helping to absorb those bumps and jumps we all encounter when riding off-road. This also makes for a more enjoyable and smoother experience.

Husqvarna EE2

The Husqvarna EE2, introduced by the renowned Swedish manufacturer, represents their shift of focus towards electric-powered motocross bikes. If you are looking for an option to get the younger ones introduced to the fun of motocross, this bike is what you have been looking for.

This bike is built to the same level of quality as its full-sized motorcycle counterparts. It also manages to boast a run time of around 100 minutes, providing more than enough time for the young to begin to learn and improve on their riding skills.

Designed with the latest technology in mind, the bike is created to replicate the full-size models, with graphics that mimic the original design. Its lightweight frame and chassis are optimized for both agility and maneuverability – helping that little one stay on the bike and love the track.

Further, the Husqvarna EE2 is complete with strong aluminium handlebars that come with a slimmer grip profile so that children can be in total control of the vehicle without having to struggle. These are made with quality in mind with a black anodised finish.

To keep the small rider safe, a disengage sensor is added so that if a child is to fall off the bike, it will automatically stop when the lanyard is removed from the switch.

Stark Varg

And finally, the Stark Varg follows the great heights achieved by e-bikes by combining innovative electric technology with a rugged design and riding experience that cannot be beaten.

Developed by Stark Future, a pioneer in the electric vehicle industry, the Varg is designed to push the boundaries of what has come before it.

The core of the Stark Varg is its advanced electric drivetrain, which features a powerful motor capable of delivering instant torque for that sought-after exiting off-road performance. Similar to the Sur-Ron, the Stark Varg comes with multiple power modes. Riders can tailor the bike's performance based on the situation and their riding preferences.

One of the most important features of the Stark Varg is its long-range capabilities. You can enjoy extended adventures without having to worry about running out of power and being stuck in the middle of nowhere.

Not only do the charges last a long time, but they recharge quickly so that you aren’t left waiting around and can get back on track as soon as possible.

The Stark Varg is a game-changer for not only the motocross world but for its e-bikes too. It is in a position to redefine the electric motocross bike development, forcing other competitors to up their game in trying to out-design this brilliant machine.

Whether you are a pro or a beginner, the Stark Varg is the stand-out choice for us at Moto 101 – So much so that we stock it on our website.
