The Best Electric Dirt Bikes of 2025
After years of talking about electric dirt bikes as ‘the future of off-road,’ we can confidently say that in 2025, the future has arrived.
These pocket rockets have gone from strength to strength, and with the millions of dollars of investment that have gone into many of the producers you’ll see on this list, it should come as no surprise that they’ve managed to create some pretty incredible machines.
In this article, we’re aiming to accomplish a few things. The first is to convince anyone reading who might be on the fence about electric dirt bikes, that there really is only one winner. The second is to show the breadth and range of what’s available in 2025. And the third and arguably most important is to give you all the necessary information to pick an electric dirt bike that you’ll absolutely fall in love with.
No pressure then, ay?
Electric vs Petrol Dirt Bikes
Let’s start at the start. You’re obviously reading this blog because you have some interest in electric dirt bikes. But if you’re not totally sold yet, allow us to help.
- Maintenance: Electric wins hands down here. No oil changes, no spark plugs, and no air filters.
- Noise: One of the biggest issues facing the entire sport of dirt biking is the fight against noise. Residents don’t like it, and state forests are closing their trails en masse because of it. For this reason alone, electric dirt biking will definitely take over.
- Beginner-friendly: Clutches and gears can be an intimidating thing to contend with for newbie riders. Electric bikes take a lot of this brain strain out of the equation.
- Running costs: To be fair, this depends on your bike and your location. But generally, charging your bike costs less than buying fuel. When you count the significantly lower servicing costs as well, electric dirt bikes become the more cost-effective option.
- Eco-friendly riding: We ride to get out in nature, so it stands to reason that we should all be trying to protect it. Not only do e-bikes produce no emissions when they’re running, but they also cause less disturbance to wildlife.
- Technology features: As you’ll see in this list, electric dirt bikes are absolutely stacked with technology. Customisable power modes, throttle response, and regenerative braking can all be controlled via apps.
If you’re not sold on electric dirt bikes after all that, you never will be! Now, on with the article!
Why Should You Listen to Us?
Because we run a business that literally sells electric dirt bikes!? If you wanted to buy a horse, you’d get an opinion off someone who has ridden a lot of horses. Want to buy an electric dirt bike? Ask the people who ride them—that’s us!
In all seriousness, we don’t just unpack boxes and hand over the keys. We build, test, and ride the bikes ourselves week in and week out. Every bike on this list has either been under our feet, up on our workbench, or both.
Also, a quick plug for us here at Melbourne Powered, we have one of the biggest e-moto ranges in Australia, an in-house workshop in Melbourne, and a team that lives and breathes electric dirt bikes (and electric bikes in general for that matter).
