Best Electric Dirt Bikes for Getting Down and Dirty Off-Road

Our first pick comes recommended by Denizot, who praises its solid performance for such a reasonable price. Razor’s MX650 features a 650 watt electric motor, dual suspension, knobby tires, and 40 minutes of driving time on a single charge. It’s not the fastest or most powerful bike out there, but for around $600, it’s a whole lot of fun in a small package.

If your kid is hankering for some off-road excitement, Super73’s K1d is made for exactly that. Designed to help kids as young as four get comfortable on a dirt bike, it features three different ride modes, allowing the rider to get used to lower speeds before kicking it up a notch as they gain confidence. It’s also styled a lot like an old-school BMX, which is always a bonus.

If you balk at the idea of spending a thousand dollars on a bike your kid will grow out of in a couple years, well, that’s understandable. For a more wallet-friendly option, Razor’s Dirt Rocket MX350 is only a quarter of the price of the Super73-K1d. It’s not suitable for really little ones, but for riders aged 13 and up, it’s a great budget option.

While this isn’t, strictly speaking, a dirt bike—it’s billed more as a fat tire mountain bike—it nevertheless will get the job done when riding off-road. Those wanting a pedal-friendly option will certainly appreciate it, as Denizot points out that it “combines pedal and electric power for versatility,” meaning you can get your workout in, but also kick back and use the throttle when you just want to have some fun.

As mentioned earlier, most dirt ebikes tend not to be legal to use on regular roads, so for those wanting to be able to ride their bike to their preferred off-road course, a street-legal option is required. Sleek, streamlined, and impossibly stylish, the Cake Kalk INK& is certainly expensive, but it’s also powerful, fast, and reliable. Did we mention that it’s also gorgeous?

One of the obvious downsides of an electric dirt bike is that when the battery’s empty, the fun’s over (unless you’re lucky enough to be near a charging station, but even then, you’re going to be waiting a while). Segway’s sporty, streamlined X260 offers electric bike skeptics an impressive 74.6 miles from a single four-hour charge, which should be more than enough for most riders, especially casual ones.

If you like your dirt ebikes lean and rugged, give GoTrax’s Everest a spin. Fast, powerful, and with tires and suspension that practically demand to be driven on the toughest terrain you can find, it also has blisteringly fast acceleration, making it an exciting ride.

Considering the average weight of the other adult dirt ebikes on this list (well over 100 pounds), the fact that Coswheel’s GT20 weighs in at just under 86 pounds is miraculous. On top of that, it looks fantastic, with a striking black and yellow color scheme and a BMX-style design. As a bonus, it’s street legal (depending on ebike laws in your state—check our guide to “How fast does an electric bike go?” for more).
