Dust Hightail

Electric bikes have seen significant success in off-road motorcycling, where their environmental friendliness, quiet operation, and lack of dependency on long-range autonomy offer unique advantages. The Dust Moto Hightail takes this concept to the next level, delivering an exceptional electric dirt bike that combines raw power, agile handling, and eco-conscious design. They say it’s the funnest bike ever made—we can’t wait to see if that’s true.

With a peak output of 42 horsepower and 60Nm of motor torque, the Hightail generates a remarkable 485 lb-ft of wheel torque. This power propels the bike to speeds of up to 75 mph. The lightweight design, weighing under 220 pounds with a 55.1-inch wheelbase and a 35.4-inch seat height, ensures optimal maneuverability for tight trails and dynamic rides.

A 4.4kWh swappable battery provides up to 40 miles of range at a cruising speed of 25 mph and can be fully recharged in four hours. Quick battery swaps allow riders to minimize downtime, a game-changing feature for extended adventures.

The advanced suspension system, featuring 260mm of travel in the front and 285mm in the rear, is tunable for compression and rebound, ensuring a smooth ride over uneven terrain.

The bike’s user-friendly design eliminates the need for a clutch or gear shifting, focusing solely on the ride. Customizable ride modes make it accessible to both beginners and seasoned riders alike. The near-silent operation, comparable to normal conversation levels, allows for riding in noise-sensitive areas while preserving the surrounding tranquility.

Built in the USA, the Hightail is tailored for riders of all skill levels, providing a seamless and thrilling off-road experience and is now on pre-order.
