An electric enduro dirt bike takes the long-distance, rough-terrain riding of traditional enduro and removes the engine noise, the fuel and the constant gear changes. You get strong low-down torque, a quiet ride that suits more places to ride, and a battery that you charge at home. The trade-off is weight, price and range planning, which is what this guide helps you work through.
Choosing an electric enduro dirt bike is mostly a question of range, weight and budget, so below we compare five full-size and near-full-size bikes from the Electric Dirt Bike Australia range using the figures on each product page. All of them are for private property and designated off-road areas only, so check local rules before you ride.
What makes an electric enduro motorcycle different?
Enduro riding is about covering rough ground for hours. That puts three things at the top of the list: battery capacity, weight and suspension. Power matters, but a bike that runs flat in an hour is no use on a long loop.
An electric enduro motorcycle has no clutch to stall on most models, and the same is true of an electric enduro motorbike from most makers, and the motor delivers torque from zero revs. That makes technical climbs and slow rocky sections easier for newer riders, because you do not need to feather a clutch. One model below, the Arctic Leopard, keeps a manual clutch for riders who want that feel.
Power, torque and why weight still wins
Peak power is a headline number, not a promise of how the bike feels. A 100 kg bike with 28 kW can feel more controllable than a 127 kg bike with 22.5 kW, because lighter bikes are easier to steer, pick up and carry over obstacles. Consider your own weight, height and trail type before you chase the biggest figure. Every electric enduro dirt bike in this guide trades something: the longest range comes with extra weight, and the lightest bikes carry smaller batteries.
Electric enduro bike Australia range at a glance
The table puts the five bikes side by side. Battery energy is volts times amp hours, and where a pack's watt hours are listed we use the listed figure.
| Model | Price | Peak power | Battery | Top speed | Range | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Caofen F80 Dual Sport | $8,290 | 8 kW | 72V 48Ah | 85 km/h | up to 120 km | 80 kg |
| RFN Ares Rally Pro | $8,490 | 12.5 kW | 74V 35Ah (2,590 Wh) | 85 km/h | up to 100 km | 68 kg |
| Arctic Leopard E-XE 880 | $11,490 | 15 kW | 72V 43Ah | 95 km/h | not listed | 68 kg |
| Talaria Dragon Enduro | $13,990 | 28 kW | 88V 58Ah (5,100 Wh) | 110 km/h | up to 150 km | 100 kg |
| Sur-Ron Storm Bee Enduro | $15,490 | 22.5 kW | 104V 55Ah (5,720 Wh) | 110 km/h | up to 120 km | 127 kg |
As an illustration of the maths, 72V x 48Ah is 3,456 Wh, so the Caofen carries more stored energy than the RFN (2,590 Wh) even though it makes less peak power. More stored energy usually means more distance, while more power means harder acceleration.
Best electric enduro bike picks by rider type
There is no single winner, and the best electric enduro motorcycle for one rider is the wrong bike for another. Ask yourself these questions first:
- How heavy a bike can you pick up after a fall?
- How many kilometres is your usual loop?
- Do you want a manual clutch or twist-and-go?
- What is your total budget, including gear, a spare charger and transport?
Then match your answers to the picks below.
Talaria Dragon: the long-range heavy hitter
The Talaria Dragon Full-Size Enduro is $13,990. It has a 28 kW motor, an 88V 58Ah pack of 5,100 Wh, a 110 km/h top speed and a quoted range of up to 150 km, the longest in this group. It weighs 100 kg and rolls on a 21-inch front and 18-inch rear off-road knobby setup. It suits riders who want maximum distance and are comfortable with a heavier bike.
Talaria Dragon Full-Size Enduro (88V / 28kW)
Full-size electric enduro motorcycle with 88V architecture, 28kW peak output, and 21/18 full competition wheels.
Sur-Ron Storm Bee Enduro: the flagship
The Sur-Ron Storm Bee Enduro is $15,490 with a 22.5 kW motor and a 104V 55Ah Sony VTC6 pack of 5,720 Wh. It reaches 110 km/h and quotes up to 120 km of range, with Eco, Rain, Sport and Turbo modes plus reverse. At 127 kg it is the heaviest here, so it suits confident riders who want the biggest battery. See the maker's own details on the Sur-Ron website.
Sur-Ron Storm Bee Enduro (104V 55Ah / 22.5kW)
Full-sized electric enduro motorcycle with 104V high-voltage power, 520Nm torque, and 4 riding modes.
Arctic Leopard E-XE 880: the manual clutch option
The Arctic Leopard E-XE 880 is $11,490 with a 15 kW motor on a 72V 43Ah battery, a 95 km/h top speed and a hydraulic multi-plate manual clutch. It weighs 68 kg. If you are moving across from a petrol bike and want to keep clutch control, this is the most familiar feel in the group.
Arctic Leopard E-XE 880 Enduro Electric Bike
Competition enduro weapon with 15kW peak motor, mechanical clutch, and lightweight 68kg total weight.
RFN Ares Rally Pro: the lightweight all-rounder
The RFN Ares Rally Pro is $8,490 with a 12.5 kW motor, a 74V 35Ah LG Chem pack of 2,590 Wh and up to 100 km of range. It weighs 68 kg, or 62 kg in trials mode, and has Rabbit, Turtle and Rocket modes plus reverse. The frame is forged aluminium. It is a strong pick for riders who value light weight and a good price.
RFN Ares Rally Pro (74V 35Ah / 12.5kW)
Dual-ergonomics trials and enduro bike with modular seat, direct drive gear transmission, and 74V high-voltage power.
Caofen F80 Dual Sport: the value long-ranger
The Caofen F80 Dual Sport is $8,290 with an 8 kW motor, an immersion-cooled 72V 48Ah battery and a quoted range of up to 120 km. It is the lowest-priced bike in the comparison and weighs 80 kg, so it is a sensible way into the category.
Caofen F80 Dual Sport Electric Dirt Bike
Revolutionary one-piece magnesium unibody frame with patented battery immersion cooling for extreme Australian heat.
Enduro electric motorcycle versus petrol
Petrol enduro bikes still win on refuelling speed and on remote trips where charging is hard. An enduro electric dirt bike, or what some riders call an enduro electric motorcycle, wins on noise, simplicity and running cost, since there is no oil, spark plug, air filter or fuel to buy. For a longer comparison with petrol machines, see our 250cc versus electric guide, and for how kilowatts compare across classes, read the power classes explained post.
Range planning for long rides
Quoted range is a best case. Hills, loose ground and hard throttle use more energy. A sensible rule is to plan on about two thirds of the quoted distance for a demanding route, turn back at half charge and keep a reserve. Our range, torque and terrain guide goes deeper. A kilowatt hour is simply 1,000 watt hours, and the kilowatt-hour definition on Wikipedia is a handy reference.
Upgrades that suit an electric enduro motorcycle
Suspension and wheels are the most common upgrades. The EXT Ferro 36 inverted fork is $2,690 with 205 mm of travel and independent high and low speed compression and rebound. The KKE 18/21 enduro wheel kit is $1,090 with a 21-inch front and 18-inch rear rim and a direct bolt-on fit for the Sur-Ron Ultra Bee and Talaria Dragon. Browse more parts in our accessories range.
Charging, safety and where to ride
Charge on a hard, dry surface away from anything flammable and never leave a pack charging unattended. The NSW Government lithium-ion battery guidance explains safe charging and storage. For background on the sport itself, see the enduro overview.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best electric enduro bike for a beginner?
For a newer rider, the lighter bikes are easier to handle. The RFN Ares Rally Pro at 68 kg (62 kg in trials mode) and the Arctic Leopard at 68 kg are the lightest here. The Arctic Leopard has a manual clutch, so choose the RFN if you prefer twist-and-go. Whatever you pick, start in a gentle mode and wear full protective gear.
How far can an electric enduro bike go on one charge?
Quoted ranges run from up to 100 km for the RFN Ares Rally Pro to up to 150 km for the Talaria Dragon. Real distance depends on terrain, rider weight and throttle use, so plan for less than the figure on hard trails and keep some battery in reserve.

These models are sold for private property and designated off-road areas only. They are not registered road vehicles. Each state has its own rules, so check with your state transport authority before riding anywhere other than land where you have permission.
