Electric scooter vs electric bike: which one fits your commute?
One folds and goes under a desk. The other carries groceries and eats long miles. Here is how to tell which one your trip actually needs.
Talaria lineup compared: every model by price band and power
From the compact X3 family to the 96V Komodo, here is every Talaria we carry, sorted by price band, with the power, battery and weight that set each one apart.
The short answer
The Talaria lineup runs in four price bands. From $2,000 to $3,000 sit the compact X3 family (X3 Concept, XXX Black Edition, X3 / XXX) and the 60V Stings (Sting MX3, Sting R MX4 2024, Sting R Off-Road and Sting R Road Legal). From $3,000 to $4,000 come the X3 Pro, the 72V Sting MX5 Pro and the Sting R MX4 Expert. From $4,000 to $5,000 sit the road legal Sting L3E and the 88V Dragon 2025. Above $6,000 sits the 96V Komodo 2025.
- Every Talaria we carry costs more than $2,000. The X3 Concept is the entry point and the Komodo 2025 sits at the top.
- Our pages list no top speed for the X3 family: the X3 / XXX, XXX Black Edition, X3 Pro and X3 Concept.
- The Stings step from 60V to 72V. The Sting MX5 Pro makes 13.4 kW peak, against 6 to 8 kW for the 60V Stings.
- The Dragon 2025 lists the most speed and range (70 mph, up to 93 miles at 15.5 mph). The Komodo 2025 lists 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds.

Maker figures, checked September 2026. Real range and speed depend on rider weight, terrain, temperature and riding mode.
The X3 family: compact and light
The X3 family is Talaria’s compact line, built around a light chassis.
- X3 Concept: Talaria’s compact electric platform, launched on February 4, 2025. It is built for light handling and is easy to move, load and store. Our listing describes it as off-road, with road legal versions only in select markets.
- XXX Black Edition: a 6 kW motor and a 40Ah lithium battery in a small, light chassis of about 128 lb, with adjustable suspension, disc brakes and up to about 55 miles of range.
- X3 / XXX: the XXX rethought. A new 40Ah battery runs down the length of the bike, with a 6.5 kW peak motor, an adjustable Talaria fork and rear shock, a 19 inch front and 17 inch rear wheel, about 128 lb of chassis weight and up to about 50 miles.
- X3 Pro / XXX Pro: the stronger XXX. Talaria says it adds torque and speed, and it runs 19 inch wheels front and rear (70/100-19 front, 80/100-19 rear) with a seat of about 34 to 35 in.
We don’t list a top speed for the X3 / XXX, XXX Black Edition, X3 Pro or X3 Concept. If top speed decides your choice, ask us before you order.
The 60V Stings: MX3 and the Sting R family
The Sting is Talaria’s light trail bike, and most Stings run on 60 volts.
- Sting MX3: a 6 kW peak mid-drive motor with about 209 lb-ft at the wheel, a swappable 60V 38.4Ah battery (about 2,280 Wh), DNM or Fastace suspension, moto-grade hydraulic brakes with 8.7 in rotors and adjustable regen. It weighs about 139 lb with the battery.
- Sting R Off-Road: the original Sting with 30% more power and a bigger battery. It has an 8 kW peak motor, a swappable 60V 45Ah battery (2,700 Wh) that charges in about 3 hours, a forged, anodized 6061 aluminum frame, a 33.1 in seat and 145 lb with the battery.
- Sting R MX4 2024: the same 8 kW peak motor (4 kW rated) and 60V 45Ah battery, a single-speed drive, 4-piston hydraulic brakes with 220 mm rotors and a 220 lb max load.
- Sting R MX4 Expert: the top Sting R, with 37 lb-ft, an adjustable Manitou Dorado Expert upside-down fork with 8 in of travel, a DNM or Fast Ace rear shock with a 450 lb spring, and Magura MT-5 hydraulic brakes.
- Sting R Road Legal: the Sting R set up for street and off-road use, with long travel suspension front and rear, hydraulic disc brakes and a swappable 60V 38.4Ah battery (2,304 Wh). Its page lists no top speed or range.
Torque figures are measured differently. The MX3 figure of about 209 lb-ft is at the wheel. The Sting R figures of 33 or 37 lb-ft give no measuring point, and the Sting R has the bigger motor and battery.
Sting MX5 Pro: the 72V Sting
The Sting MX5 Pro moves the Sting to 72 volts, and Talaria says that brings about 45% more power than the 60V Stings. Its IPM motor with an internal gearbox is rated at 5.5 kW with a 13.4 kW peak. The 72V 40Ah battery uses Samsung 50S cells, holds 2,880 Wh and charges in about 3 hours.
It stops with hydraulic disc brakes, upgraded calipers and 8.7 in rotors, and adds a color screen. This is the Sting for riders who have outgrown the 60V bikes.
Sting L3E: the road legal Sting
The Sting L3E Road Legal is the Sting set up for commuting, back roads and weekend trails. It carries a 60V 45Ah battery (2,700 Wh), Eco and Sport modes, front and rear suspension, hydraulic disc brakes and an IP67 rating. Talaria lists 6 kW peak (up to 8 kW in some setups) and about 3.5 kW rated, up to 53 to 55 mph and about 53 miles at 25 mph.
The seat sits at about 33 in, it weighs about 157 lb with the battery, and charging takes 3.5 to 4 hours. Road legal still means paperwork: you title, register, plate and insure the bike under your state rules, and the rider needs the right license. Our guide to street legal electric dirt bikes walks through it.
Dragon 2025 and Komodo 2025: full-size power
At the top of the lineup, Talaria moves to full-size bikes with 21 inch front and 18 inch rear wheels.
- Dragon 2025: the long range Talaria. A 28 kW peak, 10 kW rated mid-drive motor with 465 lb-ft, an 88V 58.5Ah battery (about 5,148 Wh) and up to 93 miles at 15.5 mph. It lists 70 mph and 0 to 60 mph in under 5 seconds, with a seat of about 35 in, about 220 lb with the battery and a charge of about 4 hours.
- Komodo 2025: Talaria’s full-size off-road electric motorcycle. A 32 kW peak, 8.6 kW rated motor with 556 lb-ft, a 96V 45Ah battery (4,320 Wh), 66 mph, 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds and up to 71.5 miles at 28 mph. It has air suspension at both ends, a 35.8 in seat, a 216 lb dry weight, a 353 lb max load and a charge of about 1.5 hours.
Pick the Dragon for distance, the Komodo for air suspension, a faster charge and a higher max load. Both seats sit around 35 in or more, so check the fit before you choose.

In our catalog, the X3 Concept is the entry Talaria. It sits in the $2,000 to $3,000 band with the XXX Black Edition, Sting MX3, X3 / XXX and the 60V Sting R models. Each product page shows the current price.
Is the Talaria X3 the same as the XXX?
Not quite. Talaria describes the X3 as the XXX rethought: a new 40Ah battery runs down the length of the bike, with adjustable Talaria suspension and a 19 inch front and 17 inch rear wheel. Our listing carries both names. The X3 Pro, also sold as the XXX Pro, is the stronger version.

By the figures on our pages, the Dragon 2025 at 70 mph, then the Komodo 2025 at 66 mph. The Komodo lists 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds, and the Dragon under 5 seconds. We don’t list a top speed for the X3 family.

The Sting L3E Road Legal and the Sting R Road Legal are sold as road legal. You still title, register, plate and insure them under your state rules. The other Talarias we carry are off-road bikes.
