M1 is EKX's flagship and the odd one out. A 10,000W rated mid-drive motor (16,800W peak) with 560 Nm of torque sets it apart from the three rear-hub models. Its removable 72V 50Ah battery stores about 3,600Wh, and a forged aluminum frame, adjustable suspension and four-piston hydraulic brakes back up the bigger powertrain.

EKX rates it for up to 70 mph and 93 miles, and it weighs 159 lb. That puts the M1 closer to a light electric motorcycle than an e-bike. Choose it for technical private-land climbing only after you solve transport, service, charging and legal riding space.

StreetRides ships the EKX M1 to riders in Denver, Las Vegas, Seattle, San Diego and across the U.S.

M1 is for an experienced off-road rider who wants mid-drive torque for steep, technical terrain. It also suits someone who can store and work on a 159 lb vehicle at ground level and haul it with motorcycle-rated equipment.

It is poor value for flat, casual riding. The GTS X22 costs less and still has a 72V system. The X21 Max is 53 lb lighter. The M1 earns its price when the 50Ah battery, four-piston brakes and mid-drive layout solve real terrain needs.

EKX rates the M1 at 10,000W rated and 16,800W peak, with 560 Nm of torque and up to 70 mph. A mid-drive changes power delivery and weight balance compared with a hub motor, and it puts more wear on the drivetrain under hard use.

Use reduced power while you learn the bike. Acceleration, traction and braking change with surface, body position, battery level and setup. A 70 mph top speed needs long sight lines and motorcycle-level judgment. It does not belong on shared paths or neighborhood streets.

The removable 72V 50Ah pack stores about 3,600Wh, twice the X21 Max or TX1. EKX rates it for up to 93 miles. Riding at high output drains it much faster.

EKX includes a 72V 8A charger, and a full charge takes 5 to 8 hours. Charge in a dry, ventilated spot while you are nearby. Inspect the pack, mount and connectors after a crash or hard trail day. Ask StreetRides about replacement battery pricing before you buy.

The M1's 70 mph top speed is far beyond any e-bike class. Treat it as an off-road electric motorcycle. Ride only on private property or motorized routes that allow it, and check registration, licensing, insurance, helmet and land-manager rules first.

Four-piston hydraulic brakes are the strongest in the EKX range, but brake condition and technique still decide stopping distance. Check brakes, rotors, tires, wheels, steering, suspension, drivetrain, throttle return, battery lock and lights before each ride. Read the manual that comes with your M1 before assembly.

At 159 lb, the M1 cannot be handled like a bicycle. Plan a ramp, a rated carrier or trailer, secure ground-level storage and room to work on it.

Keep the serial number, carton and delivery photos. EKX covers the M1 with a 12-month warranty, and StreetRides helps you with claims. StreetRides returns: request within 7 days of delivery, 20% restocking fee. Ask about M1 motor, controller, battery and brake parts if you need fast repairs.

Motor: mid-drive, 10,000W rated and 16,800W peak. Torque: 560 Nm. Battery: removable 72V 50Ah, about 3,600Wh. Top speed: up to 70 mph. Range: up to 93 miles. Charger: 72V 8A. Charge time: 5 to 8 hours. Frame: forged 6061 aluminum. Suspension: adjustable inverted hydraulic fork and adjustable rear spring shock. Brakes: four-piston hydraulic disc. Tires: 70/100-19 off-road. Weight: 159 lb. Maximum load: 330 lb. Colors: Black and Gray. Rider height: 5 ft 5 in to 6 ft 5 in. Warranty: 12 months. StreetRides returns: 7 days, 20% restocking fee.

M1 is the pick when mid-drive torque, a 3,600Wh battery and the strongest brakes are the point. It is built for steep, technical private terrain and long high-output rides.

It is also the hardest EKX to justify casually. Its price, 159 lb weight and 70 mph top speed make every ownership detail a motor-vehicle decision. The GTS X22 is better value for open trails.

Mid-drive torque for technical terrain

EKX M1 electric dirt bike, official product image 3
KEY ADVANTAGES

Why This Ride Stands Out

  • EKX M1 electric dirt bike, official product image 4 Mid-drive torque for technical terrain

    A 10,000W rated (16,800W peak) mid-drive sits low and central, built for steep, demanding off-road work.

  • EKX M1 electric dirt bike, official product image 5 A 3,600Wh removable battery

    The 72V 50Ah pack doubles the X21 Max and TX1. Riding at high output still cuts into the 93-mile rating.

  • EKX M1 electric dirt bike, official product image 6 Four-piston brakes for a 159 lb chassis

    The strongest brake package in the range fits M1's mass, but pad, rotor and hydraulic-system care remain critical.

Compare your options

Choose the EKX that matches the terrain and ownership job

TX1 leads on price, X21 Max balances weight and output, GTS X22 adds a 72V hub-drive system, and M1 moves to a much heavier mid-drive platform.

EKX X21 Max 8000W-Peak Electric Dirt Bike

$1,999.00
$1,999.00
Available

Best for: The aluminum-frame all-rounder in EKX's high-output range, best for experienced riders with permitted off-road space and ground-level storage.

X21 Max is the sensible center of the EKX range if 60V power, adjustable suspension and an aluminum frame solve your trail-riding job. It carries less mass than the GTS X22 and M1 while giving you more published torque than TX1.

Think twice if: Its compromise is simple: this is still a 106 lb, high-speed motor vehicle. Buy it only after you solve legal riding space, transport, charging and parts support. If price comes first, the TX1 is the leaner choice.

EKX GTS X22 12000W-Peak Electric Dirt Bike

EKX GTS X22 12000W-Peak Electric Dirt Bike

$2,499.00
$2,499.00
Available

Best for: The 72V hub-drive choice for experienced riders who have open permitted terrain and want more output than the 60V EKX models.

The GTS X22 is EKX's high-voltage hub-drive pick. Its 72V system, 280 Nm and adjustable chassis suit open trails better than the X21 Max or TX1.

Think twice if: The extra cost over the X21 Max buys power and voltage, not portability or road access. If your riding area cannot use it, the X21 Max is the better buy. For technical climbing, look at the M1.

EKX TX1 7000W-Peak Electric Dirt Bike

EKX TX1 7000W-Peak Electric Dirt Bike

$1,399.00
$1,399.00
Available

Best for: The price-led EKX choice, offering a full-size 60V trail platform for riders who can accept the 123 lb steel chassis.

TX1 is the value play. You get the 60V 30Ah battery, full suspension and hydraulic brakes for less than the X21 Max. It makes sense when your budget is firm and the exact ride does not need adjustable suspension or the lighter aluminum frame.

Think twice if: The steel chassis is nearly as heavy as GTS X22 despite lower output. That is the decision cost. Buy it for affordable private-land performance, not because the pedals make it look easier to store, transport or register than it is.

Frequently Asked Questions

M1 uses a mid-drive motor, doubles battery capacity to about 3,600Wh, raises peak power to 16,800W and adds four-piston hydraulic brakes. It also weighs 35 lb more.

No. EKX rates it for up to 70 mph, and it weighs 159 lb. Treat it as an off-road electric motorcycle for private property or permitted motorized routes.

EKX rates it for up to 93 miles from the 72V 50Ah battery. High output, hills, technical terrain, rider weight, tire pressure and temperature cut that.

Do not assume so. At 159 lb, use a stable ramp and motorcycle-capable carrier or trailer. Plan tie-down points and loading help before delivery.

Yes. Use the manual that ships with your M1. If it is missing, ask StreetRides and EKX support for a replacement.

On private property or motorized parks that clearly allow high-output electric motorcycles. Check the land manager's rules and your local vehicle laws before you ride.
