The ranking
Order set by the street-legal weights; the score shown is always the overall one.
Most electric dirt bikes are sold for off-road use only, and their dealers say so. This short list keeps only bikes whose brand sells a road-legal version or a road kit: the KTM Freeride E ("road legal capability", per KTM), the Stark VARG EX (homologated in the USA, Class M license from 16, per Stark) and the Talaria Komodo (an L3e road-equipment version).
Road status counts for 40% here, warranty for 15%. The Stark comes first: US homologation, a two-year warranty and a 2-hour charge at 240 V, per Stark. The KTM is close behind, with its own two-year warranty, KTM's dealer network and a price $3,041 lower. Whatever you buy, registration depends on your state. Call the DMV before you order.
