Light electric dirt bikes reach motorcycle speeds with instant torque and almost no sound. Riders need motorcycle skills.
Electric dirt bikes are the fastest-growing machines on the trail, and many new riders start without any training. Our e-moto program teaches throttle and brake control, low-traction handling and trail awareness on the bike the rider actually owns.
Riders and parents learn together: safe set-up, power modes, gear and family riding rules.
Instant-torque control, braking, cornering and hill work on a closed range.
Low-traction terrain, obstacles, trail etiquette and riding near hikers and other trail users.
