Rerode R1+ vs Surron Light Bee X vs E Ride Pro SS 2.0 vs Talaria MX5

Availability update (Aug 27, 2026): The E Ride Pro SS 2.0 and Talaria MX5 were sold out on the cited Australian listings when checked. Availability can change, so confirm current stock directly with the seller before purchase.

The Australian electric dirt bike market now offers several serious off-road options, but the numbers can be difficult to compare. The Rerode R1+, 2026 Surron Light Bee X, E Ride Pro SS 2.0 and Talaria MX5 all target riders who want more performance than a conventional e-bike, yet they differ meaningfully in peak power, battery capacity, weight, suspension and price.

This guide compares their published stock specifications and current Australian pricing so you can see where each model fits. Prices, availability and specifications were rechecked before publication and may change before purchase.

Quick Verdict

On the verified figures, the Rerode R1+ offers a strong combination of stock peak power, current availability and Australian value. Its 17kW peak output is higher than the other published figures, and its 2.88kWh battery matches the largest packs here. At A$6,999, it is A$491 below the Surron and A$501 below the Talaria. The E Ride is A$9 cheaper at A$6,990, but its Australian listing was out of stock when rechecked.

That does not make every rival irrelevant. The Surron Light Bee X is the lightest and benefits from a mature Australian dealer and aftermarket network. The E Ride Pro SS 2.0 combines a relatively low weight with a quoted top speed close to the R1+. The Talaria MX5 brings 220mm front travel, 300mm ground clearance and substantial stock braking hardware. Your best choice depends on whether outright stock performance, lighter handling, established support or trail equipment matters most.

Specifications at a Glance

Figures are manufacturer or Australian seller claims for stock models. Range depends on speed, rider weight, terrain, temperature and riding style. Off-road use only unless a model is separately approved and registered for another use.

Power and Stock Performance

Peak power is the clearest separation. The Rerode R1+ is rated at 17kW, compared with 13.4kW for the unrestricted Talaria MX5, 12kW for the E Ride Pro SS 2.0 and 10kW for the 2026 Light Bee X. The R1+ also carries a published 500Nm peak torque figure, matching the MX5 figure quoted with its 48-tooth sprocket and exceeding the Light Bee X’s 295Nm. E Ride does not publish a directly comparable torque figure on its official product page, so none is assumed here.

For riders who want the strongest verified stock output without immediately budgeting for controller, motor or battery upgrades, the R1+ makes the most convincing case on paper. The E Ride remains close on quoted top speed, while the Light Bee X’s lighter chassis may appeal to riders who prioritize an easier-to-place bike over maximum peak power.

Battery Capacity and Advertised Range

The R1+, E Ride Pro SS 2.0 and Talaria MX5 each use a 72V 40Ah battery with 2.88kWh of nominal capacity. The Light Bee X uses a smaller 72V 35Ah, 2.52kWh pack. Equal battery capacity does not guarantee equal real-world range because motor tuning, speed, rider mass, terrain and throttle use all influence consumption.

The R1+ is advertised for up to 90km at 25km/h. Talaria quotes up to 100km at the same speed. E Ride publishes two speed-specific claims: more than 80km at about 40km/h or more than 145km at about 24km/h. Surron quotes up to 75km. These figures are useful for context, but they are not a controlled head-to-head test and should not be read as guaranteed trail distances.

Weight, Rider Fit and Handling

At 59kg kerb weight, the Light Bee X is the lightest option. The E Ride Pro SS 2.0 follows at approximately 63kg, the R1+ is 68kg with its battery, and the Talaria MX5 is listed at 76kg with battery. Lighter bikes can feel easier to lift, change direction and recover on technical terrain. More weight can feel planted at speed, but rider experience and suspension setup matter just as much.

The R1+ also has the tallest published seat in this group at 845mm, followed by the MX5 at 840mm. The E Ride and Light Bee X are both listed at 830mm. Shorter riders should sit on the bikes where possible rather than choosing from seat height alone, as sag, seat width and suspension setup affect how tall a bike feels.

Suspension, Brakes and Trail Equipment

The R1+ uses adjustable FastAce suspension with 200mm of front travel and a rear unit specified at 200mm travel with an 85mm stroke. The Light Bee X also lists 200mm of front travel. Talaria publishes 220mm of front travel and 300mm of ground clearance, giving it the strongest clearance and front-travel figures in this comparison. E Ride describes adjustable sport suspension but does not publish directly comparable travel or ground-clearance figures on its official page.

Braking specifications also differ. The R1+ uses DOT 4 brakes with a 220mm front rotor and 203mm rear rotor. Talaria lists four-piston calipers and 220mm by 3mm rotors at both ends. The Light Bee X and E Ride use hydraulic disc systems, although their cited pages provide less directly comparable hardware detail. Riders planning aggressive trail use should still evaluate lever feel, pad availability and suspension setup rather than relying on rotor size alone.

Price and Australian Ownership

At the rechecked prices, the R1+ is A$491 less than the 2026 Light Bee X and A$501 less than the Talaria MX5. The E Ride Pro SS 2.0 is A$9 cheaper than the R1+, but its Australian listing was out of stock when rechecked. The R1+ product page was marked in stock, and it has the highest published peak power in the group.

The Light Bee X counters with an established Australian distributor network and a large aftermarket. Rerode buyers can use the Rerode Australia collection and authorised Australian stockist directory to review current products and local support. Availability can change quickly, so confirm stock, delivery timing, warranty coverage and included equipment with the seller before paying a deposit.

These machines are intended for off-road use. Wear appropriate protective equipment and check local requirements before riding on public land or transporting an unregistered bike.

Which Model Should You Choose?

Choose the Rerode R1+ If You Want Stock Power and Value

The R1+ is the strongest all-round value proposition here if your priority is verified stock output. It combines 17kW peak power, a 2.88kWh battery, a 100km/h quoted top speed and a current A$6,999 sale price. It is especially compelling for riders who do not want to pay more and then immediately plan major performance upgrades.

Choose the Surron Light Bee X If Low Weight and Ecosystem Matter Most

The Light Bee X suits riders who value lower weight, broad brand familiarity, dealer coverage and aftermarket options. Its 10kW stock peak output is the lowest in this comparison, but its 59kg kerb weight is a meaningful advantage for some riders.

Choose the E Ride Pro SS 2.0 If You Want Speed With Lower Weight

The E Ride sits between the Surron and Rerode in weight while publishing a top speed close to the R1+. Its 12kW peak output and 2.88kWh battery make it a strong alternative. Its Australian sale price was A$9 below the R1+ when rechecked, although the listing was out of stock.

Choose the Talaria MX5 If Trail Hardware Is the Priority

The MX5 stands out for its published 220mm front travel, 300mm ground clearance, four-piston brakes and large rotors. It is also the heaviest bike in this comparison, and Australian availability should be confirmed directly before purchase.

Final Verdict

For buyers comparing these four models on verified stock specifications, current Australian price and availability, the Rerode R1+ makes a strong performance-value case. It offers the highest published peak power, a full-size 2.88kWh battery and a 100km/h quoted top speed. It also costs less than the available Surron and Talaria listings, while the slightly cheaper E Ride listing was out of stock when rechecked.

The final decision is not purely numerical. The Light Bee X is lighter and has an established dealer and aftermarket ecosystem; the E Ride Pro SS 2.0 offers a strong speed-to-weight balance; and the Talaria MX5 has notable suspension, clearance and brake specifications. Test ride where possible, confirm current stock and support, and choose the bike that fits your terrain and experience level—not only the biggest number on the page.
