How We Score Electric Dirt Bikes for Adults
A good list starts with a nifty ranking scorecard. We cover everything from design and technology, to customer service. We’ve also grouped these factors into eight sections:
1. Build Quality
We note materials, components, and durability. We provide plus points for high-end components, as well as reliability and ease of repair.
2. Responsiveness
This criteria covers each bike’s throttle and brake response, as well as handling. We also add points for bikes with single-gear transmissions and instant acceleration.
3. Aesthetics
This factor consists of the bikes’ design and originality. We also take note of unique details and add extra points for bikes with great details.
4. Cool Factor
Like with aesthetics, we also lay out points based on how visually appealing the bike looks or if it has references to pop culture (such as an electric dirt bike that looks like something out of Mad Max).
5. Speed
We provide points based on standing torque and top speed, and also the duration in which the bike reaches peak speed.
6. Range
We take note of the bike’s battery level or operation time as well as range distance. We score bikes higher for having special features such as brake regen and extra reserve power packs.
7. Weight
Lighter bikes get more points, and vice-versa. The last thing we want is a 900lbs off-roader.
8. After-Sales Support
We take into account the range of services a dealer or manufacturer provides and the responsiveness they can offer a customer after purchase. Additional points for reliable services, warranty support, quick-replies to inquiries, and visitable locations.

| Weight | 489 lb |
| Seat height | 33.2 inches |

| The Good | The Bad |

| Comes with the full set of adventure bike accessories (A top box, side panniers, an adjustable windscreen, and crash bars) | Headlight isn’t that bright. Might need an upgrade |
| 157 miles of range paired with brake regen | |

Upcoming Electric Dirt Bikes
Yamaha TY-E Electric Trials Dirt Bike
A competition-grade product of the critically acclaimed Yamaha Motor Co. The Yamaha TY-E is a trials type electric dirt bike made for testing the motorsport giant’s newest electric off road motorcycle design on actual competitive off road sports. The TY-E caught the motorcycle world’s eye when it debuted and won a trials match at the 2019 FIM (International Motorcycle Federation) Trial-E Cup.
Though with only one unit released and the entire production in its promotional or developmental phase, the TY-E has gotten so popular with riders around the world. So it probably won’t be long before we get our hands on one of these babies.

Kalashnikov UM-1 Electric Adventure Bike
Whenever you hear the word “Kalashnikov”, the first thing on your mind would probably be guns. That’s not the only thing they make apparently. Kalashnikov also makes electric off road motorcycles and this big beauty is one example.
The Kalashnikov UM-1 is going to be an electric adventure bike capable of long range travel (longer than those of Zero Motorcycles’ adventure bikes according to how Kalashnikov promotes it). The gun manufacturer originally planned the UM-1 for military use, but it stole so many biker’s hearts that they simply had to develop a civilian version.
Though the lack of development updates from Kalashnikov on the UM-1 is pretty disheartening, we can only hope that this badass beauty gets released before this year ends. Besides, the bike has been in the development phase for over 2 years now. It won’t be long before we can finally see it in person.

Honda Mugen E-Rex
The collaboration of motorsport giant Honda and world class custom ride specialist Mugen brought us this little badass. The Honda Mugen E-Rex sports the ultimate in off road motorcycle styling — the prehistoric concept.
The Honda Mugen E-Rex features a rugged, but unique design that will probably net a lot of biker hearts when it gets released. No updates yet from Honda, but we’re pretty sure it’ll come out soon enough. Big disappointment for Honda if it doesn’t.
