When it comes to for-fun electric dirt bikes, few players have been able to hold a candle to the Sur-Ron X. Sure, Cake with its Kalk electric dirt bike is far superior in terms of tech and performance, but it's also nearly three times the price at upwards of $13,000 USD. That being said, the Sur-Ron X remains the go-to for off-road enthusiasts looking for a fun, no-frills, electric off-roader – until now, that is.
Having had the privilege of trying out the Sur-Ron X for myself, I can say that it's plenty of bike for what's essentially a powerful electric mountain bike. As such, when I saw Electrek's article of a newly released electric off-roader that boasts 50-percent more power than the Sur-Ron X, I just had to take a closer look. I'm talking about he new Talaria Sting R MX4. While that name may seem like a mouthful, it's packing an impressive amount of performance, at a price that could have people making the shift from Sur-Ron to Talaria.
