E Ride Pro SR Review: What 25 kW Actually Feels Like

For years, the electric dirt bike conversation began and ended with the Sur-Ron Light Bee and Talaria Sting. Capable, light, accessible — but capped at power levels that experienced riders outgrow quickly. The E Ride Pro SR was built for exactly those riders: the ones who stopped asking whether an electric bike could keep up and started asking what the ceiling actually looks like.

At 25 kW peak and 630 Н·м of wheel torque, the SR doesn’t just raise that ceiling. It removes it.

The Motor: 25 kW in Stock Form

Most electric dirt bikes in this class arrive at 8–12 kW and rely on aftermarket modifications to go further. The SR delivers 25 kW peak (10 kW rated) straight from the factory — a figure that puts it in direct conversation with 250cc petrol bikes, not other e-motos.

The numbers back that up: 0–48 km/h in 1.8 seconds and a top speed of 112 km/h. Wheel torque is 630 Н·м. Throttle response is immediate and requires respect — this isn’t a bike that forgives casual inputs at full power. Riders coming from 8–12 kW machines will need a recalibration period. Everyone else will find it exactly as aggressive as advertised.

Battery: 3 600 Wh of Samsung 50S Cells

The 72V 50Ah pack (3 600 Wh) uses Samsung 50S cells — a detail worth noting because cell quality directly affects performance under sustained load. Unlike 60V systems that lose torque as voltage sags on long climbs, the 72V architecture maintains consistent output from full charge to near-empty.

Range is 99+ km at 40 km/h and 150 km at a relaxed 24 km/h. Charging from 20% to 90% takes 3.5 hours. The battery is removable — and at roughly 23 kg on its own, the bike without it drops to approximately 60 kg, light enough for most heavy-duty bicycle racks. For riders who travel to trails, that’s a meaningful practical advantage.

Chassis: 83 kg Middleweight

At 83 kg with a 137 kg weight limit, the SR is heavier than a Light Bee but substantially lighter than the Ultra Bee or any full-size electric motorcycle. That middleweight positioning is intentional: enough mass for stability at 112 km/h, light enough to manhandle through technical sections.

Seat height is 830 mm, wheelbase 1 260 mm, ground clearance 280 mm. Tyre sizes are 80/100-19 front and 100/90-18 rear — a combination that works across mixed terrain. Riders wanting more off-road bite can move to a 21-inch front with proper knobby rubber; the geometry accommodates it cleanly.

Suspension: Capable, But Needs Dialling

The SR runs FastAce adjustable suspension front and rear. Stock setup out of the crate tends to run slightly front-heavy due to the 19/18-inch wheel geometry. Moving the steering stem spacer to the top of the clamp raises the front end and balances the ride noticeably — a five-minute adjustment that most owners make early. Once compression and rebound are set for rider weight, the FastAce hardware performs well above its price point.

Riders considering the SR for motocross-style jumping should note that the swingarm, while solid for trail use, can flex under repeated heavy landings. For 90% of riders on 90% of terrain, it’s a non-issue. Dedicated MX track use may warrant aftermarket bracing.

Brakes, App and Street Legality

Stopping is handled by DOT4 hydraulic discs with 220 mm rotors front and rear, plus multilevel regenerative braking. The DOT4 fluid spec matters at this speed — it handles heat better than mineral oil systems under sustained braking on descents.

The Bluetooth app is one of the SR’s most underrated features. Speed limits, power output, and throttle sensitivity are all adjustable in real time — a level of customisation that most electric motorcycles at this price don’t offer. It also makes the L1e configuration genuinely practical: restrict the bike for the commute, unrestrict it for the trail, all from a phone.

The SR is available in L1e (moped, 45 km/h limit, car licence sufficient) and L3e (full motorcycle registration, A1/A2/A licence required) configurations. L1e insurance in most EU countries runs €40–60 per year including theft coverage — a cost-to-value ratio that’s hard to argue with for a 25 kW machine.

Verdict

The E Ride Pro SR is a specific bike for a specific rider: experienced, confident, and done compromising on power. It’s not a learner machine and it doesn’t pretend to be. What it is, is one of the most capable electric dirt bikes available under €7 000 — with the option to ride it to work on Monday and tear up a trail on Saturday using the same set of documents.

For that rider, it’s genuinely hard to beat.
