The Electric Dirt Bike That Works for a Living
Sur-Ron and Talaria are quick toys. This is the electric dirt bike built to earn its keep, all day, in the wet.
The short version
Most electric dirt bikes are built for a fun blast and a wash after. The Galvbike is built to work: it is really an off-road cargo motorbike, with a 200 kg cargo deck, a galvanised frame made to live outside, and a three year warranty.
Search "electric dirt bike", "electric off-road bike" or "electric trail bike" and you will find fast, light machines built for the track. Great for a play, but they carry nothing, they are not built to live outside, and they are not built to last.
If you want an electric dirt bike that actually does a job, this is the one.
Toys are fast. This one carries
A Sur-Ron or Talaria is quick and light and good fun. But there is no real deck, no payload to speak of, and nowhere to put the gear. The Galvbike carries 200 kg including rider, so it hauls fencing, firewood, a pack or a dog, not just you.
Built to live outside
Recreation bikes are built to be ridden and put away clean. The Galvbike is hot-dip galvanised with a sealed IP67 motor, made to sit outside, cross creeks and be hosed down daily without rusting out or shorting.
That is the difference between a weekend machine and a working one.
Off-road bike, trail bike, dirt bike: one machine
People call it different things: an electric off-road bike, an electric off-road motorbike, an electric trail bike, an electric dirt bike. They all describe the same kind of machine, and the Galvbike is the one built to work rather than just to play.
So whichever you searched for, this is an electric off-road bike that carries a load, lives outside, and lasts.
Cheap to run, and covered for three years
A full charge is about a dollar, there is no chain, clutch, gearbox or oil to service, and it is backed by a three year warranty. Try getting that on a grey-import performance bike.

Commonly asked
Is the Galvbike an electric dirt bike?
It is an electric off-road bike built for work rather than the track. Where a Sur-Ron or Talaria is a light recreation machine, the Galvbike carries 200 kg, is galvanised to live outside, and is covered for three years.
How does it compare with a Sur-Ron or Talaria?
Those are fast, light recreation bikes with little payload and no wash-down life. The Galvbike trades outright speed for the ability to carry, live outside and last, which is what a working bike needs.
Can I use it off-road every day?
Yes. It is built to be ridden hard, hosed down and left outside, every day, which most recreation electric bikes are not.
Is the Galvbike an off-road bike or a trail bike?
Both fit. It is an electric off-road bike with the suspension, clearance and tyres for off-road and trail riding, plus a 200 kg deck and a galvanised frame that a recreation trail bike does not have.
