The E Ride Pro series has redefined the high-voltage electric moto market, and the E Ride Pro SE is the ultimate versatile weapon in their lineup. Whether you are looking for a street-legal commuter or a 9kW dirt-shredder, the SE is engineered to deliver elite-level performance in a lightweight 60kg chassis.
In this E Ride Pro SE review, we explore why this model is the perfect entry into the 72V ecosystem, offering two distinct configurations to suit your riding environment: the unrestricted Off-Road version and the road-legal L1e version.
Two Versions: Road Legal vs. Unrestricted Power
The E Ride Pro SE is uniquely positioned to cater to both city commuters and hard-enduro enthusiasts through its two specialized setups:
- L1e Street Legal Version: This version is homologated for road use, limited to a top speed of 45 km/h. In many regions, it can be ridden from age 15 with a moped license (AM class), making it an ideal eco-friendly urban commuter.
- Off-Road / Unrestricted Version: For those riding on private tracks, the SE can be de-restricted to unleash its full 9kW peak power, reaching speeds of up to 90 km/h and hitting 0-45 km/h in a blistering 2.5 seconds.
- Switchable Versatility: The hardware remains elite across both versions, allowing riders the peace of mind of a street-legal registration with the hidden soul of a high-performance racing machine.
72V Samsung Architecture & Rapid Charging
At the heart of the SE is a high-capacity 72V 40Ah battery (2880Wh) utilizing premium Samsung cells. This high-voltage system ensures that unlike 60V competitors, the SE doesn't lose torque as the battery drains.
- Impressive Range: Enjoy up to 100 km of riding on a single charge, perfect for long trail loops or multiple days of city commuting.
- Fast Turnaround: The advanced charging system allows you to go from 20% to 80% in just 1.5 hours, meaning less time in the garage and more time on the pegs.
Chassis and RST Suspension: Built for Abuse
The SE avoids the "mountain bike parts" trap, utilizing motorcycle-standard components designed to handle the stresses of 9kW output and 210mm suspension travel.
- RST Performance: The SE features a custom-developed RST double-bridge fork and a steel spring rear damper, both fully adjustable for compression and rebound.
- Lightweight Agility: At 60kg including the battery, the SE is exceptionally flickable, making it easy to maneuver through tight technical sections where heavier bikes struggle.
- Moto-Standard Braking: Equipped with hydraulic disc brakes that use motorcycle-grade pads (not MTB), providing consistent, fade-free stopping power and adjustable energy recuperation.
Verdict: The Smart Choice for High-Voltage Riding
The E Ride Pro SE is the "smart" bike in the lineup. It offers the same high-voltage 72V thrill as the larger models but in a more agile, 60kg package that can be registered for the road. Whether you're a 15-year-old starting your moto journey or a pro looking for a lightweight technical trainer, the SE is the most versatile 72V bike on the market.

FAQ
What is the main difference between the E-Ride Pro SE L1e and the Off-Road version?
The L1e version is street-legal, limited to 45 km/h, and includes all necessary lighting for registration. The Off-Road version is unrestricted, unleashing the full 9kW peak power and a top speed of 90 km/h for private track use.
Can I de-restrict the L1e version for off-road use?
Yes, the SE is designed with flexibility in mind. While it comes compliant for road use, it can be de-restricted to reach its full 90 km/h potential on private property, though this may affect its legal status for road riding.
Why should I buy my E-Ride Pro SE from Vectorebike in Germany?
Vectorebike is the official EU dealer for E-Ride Pro with engineering expertise since 2015. We don't just sell bikes; we provide expert setup, tuning advice, and specialized maintenance that general online shops can't offer.
How long does it take to charge the E-Ride Pro SE battery?
The 72V 40Ah Samsung battery supports rapid charging. With the included fast charger, you can go from 20% to 80% in approximately 1.5 hours, and a full 0-100% charge takes about 3-4 hours.
What kind of license do I need for the E-Ride Pro SE L1e?
In most EU countries, the L1e version can be ridden with a standard AM (moped) license, which is available from age 15 or 16 depending on the region, or with a standard car license (Class B).
