Electric scooter with seat: who it suits and how to choose one
A seat turns an electric scooter into something you can ride for longer without tired legs. It also adds weight and changes how the ride feels. Here is how to choose.
Electric dirt bike top speed: the 30, 50 and 70 mph tiers compared
Electric dirt bikes fall into three rough speed tiers. Here is what each tier is good for, which models sit in it, and why acceleration, weight and speed modes matter as much as the top number.
The short answer
Electric dirt bike top speed falls into three rough tiers. Light trail and pit bikes reach about 30 to 40 mph, like the 34 mph NAVEE Storm G. Mid-size trail bikes reach about 46 to 59 mph, like the 53.1 mph NAVEE Storm X. Full-power bikes reach 60 to 70 mph and up, like the 70 mph E Ride Pro SR. These are maker figures in the fastest mode, and every bike here is for off-road use only. Pick the tier that matches your skill, then use speed modes to ride slower while you learn.
- About 30 mph: lighter pit and trail bikes for new, younger and smaller riders.
- About 50 mph: mid-size trail bikes with enough pace for open trails and hills.
- 60 to 70 mph and up: full-power bikes for experienced riders in full gear.
- Top speed is a maker figure in the fastest mode. Every bike here is for off-road use only.
How makers measure top speed
A listed top speed is the maker’s best case. It is usually measured in the fastest mode, on flat ground, with a fresh battery and a lighter rider. A heavier rider, a climb, soft dirt or a half empty battery all bring it down.
Some makers tell you how they tested. Riding’times lists 50 mph for the GT54 Pro, measured without a rider. NANROBOT measured the figures for the GTR with a 143 lb rider and says heavier riders will see less. Read top speed as a ceiling, not a cruising speed.
Every electric dirt bike in this guide is for off-road use only. Top speeds apply to private land with permission, riding parks, tracks and trails open to off-road motorcycles. They are not road speeds.
Below the tiers: factory-limited bikes
Some bikes leave the factory with a lower ceiling on purpose. The Riding’times Safety Editions are limited to 750 W and 15 mph before they ship, with the same frame, battery and brakes as the standard model. The GT54 Safety Edition and GT54 Pro Safety Edition are rated for riders 4’2″ to 5’9″, and the GT73 Safety Edition and GT73 Pro Safety Edition for riders 5’5″ to 6’3″.
We explain how factory limits and selectable modes work in electric dirt bike power modes and speed limiters.
About 30 mph: light trail and pit bikes
This is the tier for first bikes, teens and smaller adults. The bikes are lighter, the power is softer and most have speed modes, so a new rider can start slow and build up.
- NANROBOT KD2W14 and NANROBOT GTR: about 34 and 36 mph, each with three speed modes.
- NAVEE Storm G: 34 mph, with long-travel suspension and Smart Wheelie-Assist.
- Riding’times GT73: 28 to 37 mph on a full-size frame with pedals. Riding’times recommends it for ages 12 and up.
- Surron Hyper Bee: 34 mph (2025) or 40 mph (2026), at an 86 lb curb weight with a 121 lb max load.
| Model | Top speed (mph) | Range (miles) | Motor power (W) |
|---|---|---|---|
| NANROBOT KD2W14 Electric Dirt Bike | 34 | 31 | 1,000 |
| NAVEE Storm G Electric Dirt Bike | 34 | 31 | 2,000 |
| Nanrobot GTR Electric Dirt Bike | 36 | 38 | 2,000 |
| Riding’times GT73 Electric Mini Motorbike | 37 | 85 | 2,400 |
| Riding’times GT54 Electric Mini Motorbike | 40 | 62 | 2,000 |
| Surron Hyper Bee Electric Dirt Bike | 40 | 35 | – |
Maker figures, checked September 2026. Real range and speed depend on rider weight, terrain, temperature and riding mode.

About 50 mph: trail bikes with real pace
The middle tier is where most adult trail riders land. These bikes have the speed for open fire roads and the torque for steep climbs, and most still weigh well under 150 lb.
- Surron Light Bee X: 46.6 mph at a 125.6 lb curb weight, with Sports and Eco modes.
- E Ride Pro Mini R: 50 mph on 14 and 12 inch wheels, with a 143 lb rider limit. It suits experienced young riders and smaller adults, not first timers.
- NAVEE Storm X: 53.1 mph at about 130 lb.
- Talaria Sting MX5 Pro, Surron Ultra Bee HP SW and NAVEE Storm X Pro: 59 to 59.4 mph, at the top of the tier.
| Model | Top speed (mph) | Range (miles) | Motor power (W) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Surron Light Bee X Electric Dirt Bike | 46.6 | 46.6 | – |
| GT73 PRO Electric Motorbike | 46 | 85 | – |
| E Ride Pro PRO-S Electric Dirt Bike | 49 | 43 | – |
| E Ride Pro Mini R Electric Dirt Bike | 50 | 40 | 3,000 |
| GT54 Pro Electric Mini Motorbike | 50 | 62 | 3,000 |
| NAVEE Storm X Electric Dirt Bike | 53.1 | 75 | 10,000 |
| Talaria Sting MX5 Pro Electric Dirt Bike | 59 | 75 | 13,400 |
| Surron Ultra Bee HP SW Electric Dirt Bike | 59 | 71 | – |
| NAVEE Storm X Pro Electric Dirt Bike | 59.4 | 75 | 17,000 |
Maker figures, checked September 2026. Real range and speed depend on rider weight, terrain, temperature and riding mode.
60 to 70 mph and up: full-power bikes
The top tier is for experienced riders only. These bikes weigh more, accelerate hard and need full protective gear and space to ride. Most run 72V batteries or higher; our 72V electric dirt bike guide explains what the extra voltage does.
- 60 mph: the E Ride Pro PRO SS 2.0, PRO 4.0 and SS 3.0. The SS 2.0 is the lightest of the three at 139 lb.
- 62 to 68 mph: the Altis Delta at 62 mph, the Arctic Leopard XE Pro R at 63 mph, the Talaria Komodo 2025 at 66 mph and the YVolt Surge V at 68 mph.
- 70 mph and up: the E Ride Pro SR at 70 mph, and the Altis Sigma and Altis Omega, which Altis lists at 75+ mph.
| Model | Top speed (mph) | Range (miles) | Motor power (W) |
|---|---|---|---|
| E Ride Pro PRO SS 2.0 Electric Dirt Bike | 60 | 50 | 5,000 |
| E Ride Pro PRO 4.0 Electric Dirt Bike | 60 | 64 | 7,000 |
| E Ride Pro SS 3.0 Dirt Electric Bike | 60 | 62 | 6,000 |
| Arctic Leopard XE Pro R Electric Dirt Bike | 63 | 105 | – |
| Talaria Komodo 2025 Electric Dirt Bike | 66 | 71.5 | 32,000 |
| YVolt Surge V Dirt Electric Bike | 68 | 75 | 15,000 |
| E Ride Pro SR Dirt Electric Bike | 70 | 62 | 10,000 |

Why top speed is not the whole story
On a trail you spend far more time accelerating, braking and turning than holding top speed. Three other figures tell you more about how a bike feels.
- Acceleration. E Ride Pro lists 0 to 30 mph in 1.8 seconds for the SR and 3 seconds for the Mini R, and Talaria lists 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds for the Komodo. Hard launches surprise new riders.
- Weight. A bike near 100 lb is easy to pick up and turn on tight trails. A bike near 200 lb carries speed well but takes more strength to handle, load and lift. Our guide to transporting an electric dirt bike lists the weights.
- Range at speed. Riding fast drains the battery. E Ride Pro rates the PRO 4.0 at 64+ miles at 25 mph but 100+ miles at 15 mph from the same battery. Our electric dirt bike range guide explains why.
Speed modes let a fast bike ride slow
A higher tier bike can still be a sensible choice if it has speed modes. The Altis Delta has three speed levels of 15, 37 and 62 mph, and the Delta S has 22, 37 and 60 mph. The NANROBOT KD2W14 and GTR have three speed modes, and the Talaria Komodo has Eco, Sport, Hyper and Reverse.
Start in the lowest mode and stay there until you can brake, turn and stand on the pegs with control. Never try to raise a factory speed limit or change the controller: it can damage the motor and battery and make the bike unsafe.
Which tier suits you
- New, younger or smaller riders: a factory-limited Safety Edition or a bike from the 30 mph tier with speed modes. Check the maker’s age, height and weight limits first.
- Adult trail riders: the 50 mph tier gives plenty of pace with a lighter bike.
- Experienced riders who want maximum power: the 60 to 70 mph tier, with full gear and a place built for that speed.
Faster bikes need better gear: a full face off-road helmet, goggles, gloves, boots and armor. See electric dirt bike gear, and plan where you will ride with where to ride electric dirt bikes. Browse every model on our electric dirt bikes page. Every order ships free to the lower 48 states.
None of these bikes is road legal as sold. Read street legal electric dirt bikes and check your state and local rules before you ride anywhere.
Questions riders ask
How fast does an electric dirt bike go?
In our catalog, from a factory-limited 15 mph on the Riding’times Safety Editions to 70 mph on the E Ride Pro SR, and 75+ mph listed for the Altis Sigma and Omega. Most light trail bikes reach about 30 to 40 mph and most mid-size trail bikes about 46 to 59 mph. All of them are for off-road use only.
What is the fastest electric dirt bike you sell?
By the makers’ figures, the Altis Sigma and Altis Omega, listed at 75+ mph, followed by the E Ride Pro SR at 70 mph and the YVolt Surge V at 68 mph. They are built for experienced riders, for off-road use only.
What top speed is right for a beginner?
Most beginners do best on a bike in the 30 mph tier, or one with speed modes or a factory limit. Fit and control matter more than the top number. Start in the lowest mode and move up only when your skills do.
Can I make my electric dirt bike faster?
We do not recommend it. Changing the controller, firmware or battery to raise a factory limit can damage the bike, create a safety risk and may not be covered by the maker. Choose a bike with the speed you want from the start.
Is the listed top speed what I will actually get?
Usually a little less. Makers test in the fastest mode with a lighter rider on flat ground. Rider weight, hills, soft dirt, cold weather and a low battery all reduce it.
