E-Ride Pro SS 2.0 vs SR: Specs, Price & Which to Buy in Australia

Choosing between the E-Ride Pro SS 2.0 and the E-Ride Pro SR is mostly a question of power, battery size and budget. Both are 72V electric dirt bikes sold by Electric Dirt Bike Australia, and the figures below are taken from our product listings. Real-world range and speed vary with rider weight, terrain and power mode.

Power and battery

The E-Ride Pro-SS 2.0 has 12kW of peak power and a 72V 40Ah battery, which is 2,880Wh, using Samsung 50E / Molicel cells. The E-Ride Pro-SR has 15kW of peak power and a 72V 45Ah battery, which is 3,240Wh, with high-discharge cells. That is 3kW more peak output and about 360Wh more battery energy.

Speed and range

The SS 2.0 is listed at a 95 km/h top speed and up to 105 km of range. The SR is listed at 100+ km/h and up to 120 km. The bigger battery on the SR is the reason for the range gain, and the extra power is the reason for the higher top speed.

Weight and handling

The SS 2.0 weighs 64 kg and the SR weighs 67 kg. The 3 kg difference is small, so the choice comes down to power and range, not handling. The SS 2.0 uses Fastace dual-air tuned inverted forks.

Price

The SS 2.0 is $8,690 AUD, down from $9,190. The SR is $9,990 AUD, down from $10,590. The SR costs $1,300 more than the SS 2.0. If you pay with crypto or PayID, a 10% discount applies at checkout, and freight is free on orders over $1,500 AUD.

Which E-Ride Pro should you buy?

Choose the SS 2.0 if you want strong 72V performance for a lower price and a lighter bike. Choose the SR if you are a heavier rider, ride long days or steep climbs, or want the most power and range in the E-Ride Pro range. Beginners should also read our guide to how fast electric dirt bikes go before choosing the most powerful option.

Delivery, warranty and legal use

Both bikes ship from Mittagong NSW with a 12-month Australian warranty. They are supplied for private property and designated off-road areas, and any road use depends on your state's rules. Start with our E-Ride Pro Australia buyer's guide, then browse all electric dirt bikes for sale.

Side-by-side summary

The Pro-SS 2.0 is $8,690 AUD with 12kW of peak power, a 72V 40Ah, 2,880Wh battery, a 95 km/h top speed, up to 105 km of range and a 64 kg weight. The Pro-SR is $9,990 AUD with 15kW of peak power, a 72V 45Ah, 3,240Wh battery, a 100+ km/h top speed, up to 120 km of range and a 67 kg weight. Everything else in this guide follows from those two lists.

Power per dollar and energy per dollar

At $8,690, the SS 2.0 offers about 1.38 kW of peak power per $1,000. At $9,990, the SR offers about 1.50 kW per $1,000. For battery energy, the SS 2.0 has about 331 Wh per $1,000 and the SR about 324 Wh per $1,000. The SR gives you more power per dollar, and the two are almost level on battery energy per dollar, so the extra $1,300 mostly buys power, top speed and range rather than a better ratio of battery to price.

How much extra range does the SR give?

Listed range is up to 120 km for the SR and up to 105 km for the SS 2.0, which is up to 15 km more. The SR battery holds about 360Wh more energy, which is about 12.5% more than the SS 2.0. Real range depends on rider weight, terrain, speed and power mode, and riding at full power uses energy faster, so treat the numbers as "up to" values.

Rider weight and terrain

Heavier riders and riders who climb steep terrain draw more power from the battery. The SR has more peak power and a larger battery, which helps in those conditions. Lighter riders on flatter trails may never use the SR's extra headroom and will be happy with the SS 2.0.

Beginner or experienced?

Both bikes are high power. A beginner should start in a lower mode and treat both as full-size performance machines, not entry bikes. Our guide to how fast electric dirt bikes go explains speed and safety, and the adult electric dirt bike guide lists lower-power options such as the Sur-Ron Light Bee X and the Talaria XXX.

Alternatives to consider

In the same power class, the RFN Ares Rally Pro is 12.5kW at $8,490 AUD, the Velimotor VMX12 is 12kW at $8,990 AUD and the Sur-Ron Ultra Bee is 12.5kW at $10,990 AUD. In the same power class as the SR, the Arctic Leopard E-XE 880 is 15kW at $11,490 AUD. The lighter Sur-Ron Light Bee X and Talaria Sting R MX4 cost less but have less power.

Delivery, payment and warranty

Both E-Ride Pro bikes ship from Mittagong NSW 2575 to every state, with free freight over $1,500 AUD. Crypto and PayID payments receive 10% off at checkout, and each bike has a 12-month Australian warranty. Read the E-Ride Pro Australia buyer's guide for the full range.

Legal use and safety

These bikes are supplied for private property and designated off-road areas. Whether any bike can be registered for the road depends on your state. Wear a certified helmet and full protective gear, and follow the battery safety advice in our e-bike safety guide.

What to check on a test ride

Check how the throttle responds from a stop, how the suspension handles a rough section at your normal speed, how the brakes feel under repeated use and how the bike feels when you stand on the pegs. Check the seat height against your leg length and the reach to the bars. Ask how the power modes are changed and whether the bike has a boost function. If you cannot test ride, ask our team about suspension setup for your weight on WhatsApp before you buy.

Power modes and throttle discipline

High-power electric bikes deliver torque instantly, which surprises riders coming from petrol bikes. Use a lower power mode while you learn how the bike responds, keep your weight forward when accelerating and be gentle on loose ground. The extra 3kW of peak power on the Pro-SR matters most in the top of the throttle range, so a rider who never uses full power will not notice the gap on easy trails.

Charging and caring for a 72V pack

Use the charger made for a 72V battery, charge on a hard non-flammable surface, never leave a pack charging while you sleep and let the pack cool after hard riding before charging. Store it cool and dry, away from sunlight. The NSW Government lithium-ion battery page lists these practices, and our battery maintenance guide adds storage voltage and heat advice for Australian summers.

Running costs and wear

Both bikes use electric drive, so there are no oil changes or spark plugs. They still wear tyres, chains, sprockets, brake pads and suspension seals, and the SR's extra power will use tyres and chain slightly faster in hard riding. See our servicing cost guide and tyre guide for typical wear items.

Decision guide by rider type

A lighter rider on tight trails who rarely uses full power should lean to the SS 2.0 and keep the $1,300. A heavier rider, or one who climbs steep hills or rides all day, should lean to the SR for the extra power and battery. A rider who wants the highest top speed in the E-Ride Pro range should choose the SR at 100+ km/h. A budget-focused buyer comparing other 12kW bikes should also look at the RFN Ares Rally Pro at $8,490 AUD and the Velimotor VMX12 at $8,990 AUD. A first-time electric dirt bike buyer should consider a lower-power bike first and read our adult electric dirt bike guide. If you are still undecided, list your riding in order of importance: weight, climbing, top speed, range and budget. Whichever two come first will usually point to the bike. Our team can talk through your height, weight and terrain on WhatsApp, and every order includes free freight over $1,500 AUD and a 12-month Australian warranty.
