The electric dirt bike market has long been been dominated by the Surron LBX and Talaria Sting. However, for experienced riders, these bikes often lacked raw power right out of the box. Enter the E Ride Pro SR, a machine that claims to bridge the gap between lightweight playbikes and full-size electric motorcycles.
With a headline grabbing 25kW peak power and a 72V system, this bike is not just an upgrade. It is a new weight class. But specs on paper do not always translate to trail performance. In this E Ride Pro SR review, we analyze the technical capabilities, ride dynamics, and whether this bike justifies its price tag for the serious adult rider.
The Powerplant: 25kW of Raw Torque
The defining feature of the SR model is undoubtedly its motor. While competitors often sit in the 6kW to 12kW range after modifications, the E Ride Pro SR offers 25kW peak power (10kW nominal) in stock form.
For the rider, this means the acceleration is aggressive. The 0 to 30 mph time is clocked at roughly 1.8 seconds. Unlike 60V systems that tend to "sag" under heavy load, the 72V 50Ah battery (using Samsung 50S cells) maintains consistent voltage delivery even during long hill climbs.
- Wheel Torque: Approx. 630 Nm
- Top Speed: Approx. 60 to 70 mph (depending on gearing and state of charge)
- Throttle Response: Immediate, though manageable if you are accustomed to high-power electric drivetrains.
Chassis and Handling Dynamics
At 183 lbs (83 kg), the SR is heavier than a Surron Light Bee but significantly lighter than the Surron Ultra Bee. This puts it in a unique "middleweight" category.
Suspension Setup
The bike comes equipped with FastAce adjustable suspension. A common note for new owners is that the stock setup can feel unbalanced out of the crate. The 18-inch rear wheel paired with a 19-inch front can pitch the geometry of the bike forward. Pro Tip: Many riders find that moving the steering stem spacer to the top of the clamp helps raise the front end. This balances the ride and reduces arm pump on technical descents. Once the preload and compression are dialed in for your weight, the FastAce hardware is surprisingly capable for stock components.
L1e vs L3e: Street Legality
For European and UK riders, the E Ride Pro SR is available in L1e and L3e homologation options. This makes it versatile for mixed use.
- L1e (Moped equivalent): Usually restricted to 45 km/h (approx. 28 mph). Suitable for basic city commuting without a full motorcycle license in many regions.
- L3e (Motorcycle equivalent): Unlocked performance, requiring a full motorcycle license (A1 or equivalent).
- Note: Always check your local regulations regarding derestricting an L1e bike for off-road use, as this changes its legal status.
Build Quality and Weak Points
The E Ride Pro SR features a reinforced forged aluminum frame. This addresses the frame-flex issues common in first-generation e-motos. However, no bike is perfect.
- Swingarm: While sturdy, extreme riders sending massive jumps have noted swingarm flex. For 90% of trail riders, it is more than adequate. Motocross track users might look for aftermarket bracing.
- Belt/Chain Noise: Expect some drivetrain noise. It is not silent, but it is quieter than a gas bike.
Verdict: Who is this bike for?
The E Ride Pro SR is not a beginner's toy. It is a high-performance electric dirt bike aimed at riders aged 27 to 45 who want the torque of a 250cc 4-stroke but the silence and low maintenance of an electric powertrain.
If you are looking for a legal commuter that can tear up single-tracks on the weekend, the SR offers one of the best power-to-weight ratios on the market. It requires some initial suspension tuning, but once dialed in, it punches well above its weight class.
Author’s Take: Why the E Ride Pro SR Is a Game-Changer
In my opinion, the biggest advantage of the E Ride Pro SR is that it combines big power, a huge battery, reliability, ease of use, and an incredibly advanced mobile app — all in one package. The app alone sets it apart from most electric dirt bikes on the market. You can instantly adjust:
- speed limits
- power limits
- throttle sensitivity
Very few electric motorcycles allow this level of customization, especially at this price.
And let’s not forget: you can buy this motorcycle as an L1e model.
A 33-horsepower machine that a 15-year-old can legally ride? That’s insane.
If you have a category B driver’s license, you automatically get category AM — which means you can legally ride the SR for around €40 per year insurance. I personally recommend paying about €60 to include theft coverage. And honestly, if your 2–3-year-old electric motorcycle gets stolen and insurance pays you the full value back… that’s unbeatable.
This bike is a no-brainer if you can afford it.
Another underrated point:
Remove the battery, and the bike weighs around 60 kg — light enough to load onto many heavy-duty bicycle racks. Not all racks allow it, but plenty do, and that makes the SR extremely practical for travel.
As for the optional second battery… show me someone who can fully drain the first pack and still wants more. You’ll get tired long before the battery does.
If you want serious off-road capability:
- swap the front wheel from 19" to 21"
- install proper knobby tires
- waterproof the steering bearings
- upgrade the skid plate
- consider a softer rear spring if you’re lighter
The rear rim can even accept a wider tire if you slightly adjust spoke centering. After that, true MX-style rubber fits without drama.
Conclusion
The E Ride Pro SR is one of the most compelling high-power electric dirt bikes under €7000 today. It offers power comparable to a 250cc motorcycle, a huge 72V battery, real torque, low maintenance, and even street-legal L1e options.
For riders aged 27–45 — or anyone wanting a serious adult electric dirt bike — the SR delivers performance that hits far above its weight class.
If you want a commuter Monday to Friday and a trail weapon on the weekend, this machine is genuinely hard to beat.
