- I have to say this electric dirt bike is an absolute machine! It has so much power! I test it out at an enduro event which had some wet muddy trails, some challenging slippery hills and this bike just tractors through anything you throw at it. The traction is insane. This electric enduro bike is super fun to ride and super capable. I was shocked. Take a look and let me know what you think.

I just want a street legal electric enduro with good range. Here in Germany riding in the forest is totally illegal and everywhere are people. But of no one here’s you.. no one knows you are even there.
I've got a Surron Ultra Bee road legal version on pre-order. Here in Australia we can get recreational rego. That's what I'm gonna do. Bike's range will be good for about 1.5 hours or more hammering along dirt tracks and backroads. Under $10K AUD.
10k for an ultra is robbery 😂
It equates to about 3.5 K in pounds, as it is in Aussie dollars.
That power is insane!
Keep up the good work mate!
Love your vids mate. I've been riding for a bit over a decade and your content hypes me up to hit the trails every time. Genuinely surprised you're not getting more views, your commentary is gold. Keep up the awesome work, brother. Big up. 👍
These bikes are incredible, had one for a few months and can’t fault it at all, power and battery range is unlike any other electric bike I’ve ridden would highly recomend!
O great ……… now I’ve got to try one. My misses is going to hate you. 😂😂
Your guys are very funny I love your vids so much
It was funny when the bloke stalled his 2 stroke (more than once I think). I'm fine with all types of bike, but I've ordered a Surron Ultra Bee here in Australia. Will put it on recreational rego for bush bashing. Should be an absolute blast!
Nice video man!
This bikes are amazing so much pull in them and super easy to ride !!!!! Ride one and you will love it !
Very good very nice can't lie they're growing on me 😮
I think the same way about E-mountainbikes(with pedals)! I saw the hate online and kind of joined in, then my dad bought a couple and they're absolutely life-changing for trails with lots of climbing, I definitely like a lighter bike for downhill because you don't need the electric boost or the weight, but for all-around trail riding, analog bikes don't even compare. The e-bikes make it more fun and when you climb with analog mountain bikes, it feels like you're pedaling through deep sand!
I like the E-MTB conceptually for older riders or people with mobility issues. But I have to admit it is also getting more people outside and that is never a bad thing. It might be something I get down the road as I age but at the moment I like keeping things separate. The MTB is analog and any motor will have to be a dirt bike at minimum.
I have an EXE-880 as well, and love it. Smiles for miles.
For my kind of riding (mountains + trails) it is perfect. I'm looking to put a taillight+brake light and horn on it so I can cruise around the city.
I love your videos! I would love to ride with you someday😉
A road legal one would be amazing for greenlaning to stop local residents moaning about noise.
They are road legal the EXE 800 is already and the 880 will be soon.
Big fun small money! When do you take delivery 😂appreciate your effort dude ✌🏼
If there was a chance to hire one for a lap at enduro practise days I'd definitely take the opportunity.
what suspension does it come stock with ?
The Arctic Leopards are great bikes. Love your review.
And the two lads running the UK distribution are great guys. Are You going to WOR events this weekend. 22nd june
Nah not this weekend sorry man. I’ll be at one soon though when I have time
I'm wondering if you changed maps to a lower horsepower on the Varg if you would still feel like the Arctic leopard had better traction. It seemed like the Varg you rode was setup for one guy's preference and that didn't work for you but there are settings you can change in the app to make the Varg very rideable.
My talaria is the most fun of all my bikes. I have 4 bikes. Electric has a different feeling. Pros n cons aside. They’re cool.
What's the e-brake do?
Hey mate, what size engine does is it’s equivalent?
bro the Trial version is only 6k? i want a trial bike for the woods again so this is clutch! it has 16kW even.
I’m the first person to tell you to slow down 🤟🏼😂 reasoning is I nearly got ran over 30 seconds before 😂😂
🤣 Sorry bro.
Is this a flux primo?
Don't you feel bit weird driving this as a usual dirt bike rider ? However it's look cool by the you riding it man
2 wheel drive for enduro next?
If they did a hybrid version of these bikes I'd be interested but that would probably be super expensive.
Nice run, but this track doesn't look very technical, maybe slippery but otherwise too flat.
What about the range ???
Electric motorcycles are not ridiculous. There are pros and cons to both. I have a zero fx and I think it’s the ultimate urban commuter (I’ve had a variety of ICE bikes). I live ICE bikes but I love electric more in a lot of conditions.
What do I do if my dirt bike is not shifting in gear it's a dirt bike without a clutch
Isn't a big part of the clutch also to fine tune the power delivery to the rear? Isn't that a big drawback to not having one? (I don't ride dirt bikes so I don't know just what I hear)
Clutch will soon be available on the bike via app update👍
Clutch is not needed on electric , clutch is for stopping on a combustion bike and changing gears to maintain the rev range to keep engine running . Electric bikes have zero need for it they always have immediate power on tap at all speeds and they don’t stall or have gears . Clutch is waste of time
👍👍
I don’t hate these things. I just hate the fanboys saying they’re better and the future when on range alone they clearly on even on par yet, let alone better. The one area where these would be a huge win is where the sound is a problem. Being so quite they would open up so many places to ride that we currently can’t.
While the silence has its advantages, the noise of an ICE is one of the things I love about them. The noise is like music. You said you had a lot of fun. How much did not having the noise change the experience of riding?
I’m not convinced that the lack of noise will be a benefit to getting places opened. Arguably the public are now even more aware of dirt bikes since electric bikes in a very negative way - since e dirt bikes became the chariot of choice for the local drug peddlers or traccy bottom wearing scallies. I think getting new options opened up even with lack of noise is a horse that has already bolted out the gate in the UK and I think the silence being a benefit to be milked is over reaching at least in the UK. It might help stave off MX track closures for a bit but I don’t see it opening up vast amounts of more opportunities. The public and council just hate dirt bikes period. The main challenge with enduro events and getting permission to use land tends to be damage to land from what I understand not noise as the events tend to be out in the sticks anyway.
Huh? It has the best range of any electric dirtbike on the market. I towed my buddies 250 out of the desert on the 880 the other day cause he ran out of gas.
Great video. I saw Marvis come out to play. New channel - "Marvis rides, Electric Style!" stay tuned... Cheers
So if your good with no clutch on this try it on your bike.
Street and mountain riding. I never use the clutch. Only in traffic. I learned the sound of the engine based on rpm and not what gear I'm in it's all good. Mate
How do u loft the front wheel over logs with no clutch ?
There’s enough power when you give it throttle. It’s impressive. Would be cool to have a clutch though
Clutch will soon be available via the app on the new update
Would consider one if they would put clutches on the electric bikes. I have seen some trials electric bikes with clutches so why not an enduro model for hard enduro
It will soon have a clutch via app update
@@Damolil90 kkkkkkk.
If this had a clutch and gears id probably consider buying one.
Without those its a nightmare for hard enduro, only good for trail riding
There are vids out there where the stark is in hard Enduro and pretty damn good
It will have a clutch in the next software update its there ready to go 👍
@@Damolil90 Does it have gears though?
@@zantharzello2999 I feel like it would be impossible to do trials stuff without a clutch and gears. Kinda depends how hard you ride, the more extreme the worse it will be I think. Also how would you keep the power down on long hillclimbs. If youre attempting a steep hillclimb with little to no runup you cant rev out the engine and slip the clutch like you would on a normal bike. You would atleast need gears so you can hold the engine at the top of the revs on slow steep stuff
13 seconds ago first comment😊I love your vid you are the best dirt bike rider ever it’s so cool pls pin
Which model is it you’re riding mate?
The Cheetah
@@MidWestMX watched a couple review vids, thoroughly impressed and I would love to try one! Thanks for the upload, enjoyed your reactions👌
Bikes cost so much more in Australia 18k for a stark
So its way easier to buy one in Australia as in Germany for example. I know in australia they can earn over 10k a month. So you could work 2 months and buy one. In germany you get about 2500€ per month and it costs 14k in euro. So we have to work about 6 months just to earn that much without and spending, so we have to spend about 3 times more time and energy for the same thing.
Not many would earn over 10k a month mate
@@donaldwayne4219 i dont know, i just know a german dude that went to Australia to work for a Mining Company and he earned in the first months over 10k Euro and then something with the tax changes and he earned about 8 to 9k per month and had no costs for living. But he worked 12hour days 3 weeks without a free day and then a week free. Sure its hard but really good money and perfect if you are Young. Im too old now with 32 for work in australia, but i dont like hard work, i hardly work here in austria, 5h per night, with 2 or 3 months paid holiday each year and earn more than others that work over 8hours 😅
What do you think they feel most like to ride? 2-stroke or 4-stroke?
It’s completely different to both. It’s hard to explain. You’ll have to try one if you can. They’re super fun I can say that much
Actually,tou can tune it,to feel lile 2 or 4 stroke. Depends to what you like
@@MidWestMX Thank for the reply, I'll definitely have to get myself a ride on one of these things, looks awesome! Cheers!
How’d you think it would do say in wern river bed?
With the right tyre It would tractor up it no problem they can crawl at very low rpm and get lots of traction.
wating the next video. could no go futther than 10 seconds. No sound, how come????
Just like your old Surron😉
Many people just don’t get it. There are areas where is totally illegal to ride. In Germany for example. No chance. You instantly have the police with you or the forester. Just because you are so loud and everyone can here you from anywhere.
What’s the battery life like and also life span? Still miss the sound of an engined bike though!
Around 5 hours of riding for sure
11:12 Disappointed the flat earthers let you get away with that one....
Me too. I was expecting backlash
the earth is flat
@@MidWestMX oh no, theyre here….
That's what happens when you get off the clutch and no revving so dump the clutch and learn throttle Control. Give it a try.
Where is the track pal
It’s listed at 231 pounds which I’m pretty sure it’s lighter than a 300 exc
Just double checked to humor myself the 300exc weight is 225
@@jarredschatz7544 without fuel
@@jarredschatz7544without fuel yes😊
Jesus…
Petrol fan boys- if it doesn't stall on a hill, I don't want it!!
How heavy
108kg
I will die before i ever like one of these
That will be soon i guess😂
@@MERMBRAMA maybe so but then my comments stands lol them electric bikes are dreadful. To be fair I might be dead when I come off me 250 trying to do a jump lol
Where is this track ?
Funny how people test other bikes but still always out stark in the title 😅😅😅😅
If someone give me one reason to have a eletric bike i buy one tomorrow.
Lighter weight,more grip,more power,much lesss maintenance,does not bother other people or animals in nature,easyer to ride
If I had some money to burn... :(
anything but this. the stark is good quality, doesn't use slave or child labor, actually has a responsibility to make a decent product and will refund you if you have problems. its not Chinese trash. this thing has higher chance of blowing up in your garage at night than you have a chance of having fun on it, and you have a good chance of having fun on it. this thing probably has terrible magnets and the motor wont last long at all, the batteries probably wont last more than 200 charges, especially fi you quick charge it, i would never feel safe riding that thing in the water because of its crazy voltage. its simple as its a chinese bike. they all suck. sur rons, although a stolen design from americans, at least use japanese branded cells so that they are relativly safe, this thing doesn't.
also il add that the artctic leopard dakar bike split in half even thought it was their modified and absolute best their team could do. the average model is pathetic compared to their dakar bike.
Where do you live? On planet Mars?
@@garbageman3992 i think you need to look again. It was another electric brand, one of the Arctic leopard team actually helped the rider and made sure he was ok.
Arctic leopard had multiple 1st place finishes across different stages on one of the most brutal races in the world.👍
@@Damolil90 yeah they helped the rider that almost died on their bike which snapped in half. the bikes they use in their big races are 10 percent non stock and are far superior to their standard production quality even thought everybody else uses their standard models, not even that could keep it from snapping in half. they are a chinese brand and like all other chinese brands they arent trustworthy and will probably suck in the long run.
@@Damolil90 i realized i didnt reposond to the fact that it may have not been an arctic leopard but it most likely was. I found the original clips and it was the arctic leopard. why would another team show up and take the bike and do all the work on the bike that they dont own? plus since its hard to find info on you can bet that it was arctic leopard or another chinese brand getting media protection
Bad points..sounds like dogshit? 😂
Good points: more grip,lighter,easier to ride,does not disturb other participants in nature,cheaper to maintain,more power
@@MERMBRAMAseveral of those are non-problems to me. Dirt biking for me is fun and a choice not an errand I need to make easier. That challenge is part of it. I don’t need more speed in my bike myself. It’s faster than I’ll ever be. For me e-bikes remove more from the fun equation than they add. I’ve heard them in real life and they leave me cold personally. I accept I should try one when I get the chance but I can’t lie the sound is a huge part of it for me. I grew up wanting one, finally did it 20 years later so not ready just yet to have it switched to something that sounds like a stanna stair lift. They’re currently not actually lighter, far heavier.
I’m not convinced that the lack of sound anyway will be half as useful as gets said when it comes out in the wash. What’s left of legal byways get shut down due damage and lobbying from the likes of the ramblers. They hate dirt bikes full stop. It’s always about the damage. Same with getting private land use for enduro events. I can’t see silent motorbikes suddenly reversing that trend. It could be said public perception of dirt bikes is even worse and now more aware of dirt bikes thanks to e bikes due to scallies in balaclavas using them as their drug chariot of choice up and down streets.
I’ll try one if I get a chance and when they’re finally forced on us and there’s no choice of bike left I’ll decide what to do then and see if my opinion has changed. I might be too old to ride enduro by then anyway
@@airindiana you loose sound...you get less maintenance,more traction,less weight,much less fatigue..try one
Saying you’re more impressed with that than the stark but offer absolutely no reason why ?seems to me like you just saying shit with no idea what you’re talking about
All the respect, but realy don not care to eletric bike. See no point on a bike without the best part, changing gears, using the clutch and let the noise drives you crazy to ride...
Chinese?no thanx.
Throw away all stuff around you which have chinese origins or components...you will soon realise what will be left for you😂
@MERMBRAMA We are talking motercycles here.And yes,I do make a conscious effort to buy the least amount of Chinese products.
@@magnus476 good for you! The same thing was happening in 60th...when Japanese bikes started to come in USA. And now you probably ride a japanese bike right?😉
See,how the history is repeating?
“Game changer “ when varg is already doing the thing and selling bikes ? Nobody has heard of this bike and most people never will.”arctic leopard “ . Sounds like some cheap Chinese pos that nobody come take seriously , who ever came up with that name should be fired
It beats many others in terms of quality,power and range,and most of all in terms of suspension and weight.
That is why it is a game changer...simple
@@MERMBRAMA um, not so simple , no detail was spoken about any of those topics. Better in terms of power vs stark . Can you explain to me how in detail please ? And also quilling , can you tell me the difference between between this and a stark ? People already describe the stark as being of extremely high quality . So how can this be a “game changer “ in that department?
@@MERMBRAMAalso you said this bike has better suspension, stark comes with kyb . Can you tell me how this is better in that department also ?
@@Ozfreerider2504 oh no..i did not say it has better suspension than varg. I said it has better suspension than most of them. You must also consider, that arctic leopard is road legal , and price is 40% lower than varg.
Read some reviews of arctic leopard 880 on you tube. You will understand, why the author of this video named it game changer..even better..ride one and you be the judge
@@MERMBRAMA in comments days suspension is one of the reasons it’s a “game changer” in video says suspension is a bad point of the bike 🤷♂️
These bikes are incredible, had one for a few months and can’t fault it at all, power and battery range is unlike any other electric bike I’ve ridden would highly recomend!
Why did you only have it for a few months? Part of the story is missing.
@@P4ddyC4kei think he means hes had one for a few months as of now.
