Under $5,000 you can buy anything from a 92 lb mini trail bike to a 17 kW, 72V full-size bike. Here are our in-stock picks, band by band, and what the extra money buys.
The short answer
An electric dirt bike under 5000 dollars covers almost every kind of rider. Under $2,000 you get 48V and 60V mini and pit bikes such as the NANROBOT GTR and NAVEE Storm G, plus the pedal-equipped Riding’times GT73. From $2,000 to $4,000 come the Surron Hyper Bee and Light Bee X, the Talaria Sting MX5 Pro and the E Ride Pro PRO-S, with 8 kW peak motors and up. From $4,000 to $5,000 you reach 72V full-size bikes such as the E Ride Pro PRO SS 2.0 and NAVEE Storm X Pro, with 12 to 18 kW peak. All are for off-road use only.
Every bike here was in stock and priced under $5,000 when we wrote this guide. Prices change with sales and options, so check each product page for the current price. All figures come from the makers’ listings, and top speeds are for off-road use only.

This band buys smaller bikes with 48V or 60V batteries, hydraulic disc brakes and suspension at both ends.

A 52V battery gives a little more punch than a 48V one at the same current, but range comes from watt hours, the speed cap stays the same and the whole system has to match.
