Arctic Leopard Electric Dirt Bike TEST 

We love having Carson hammer down on all our test bikes. If he doesn't break it thats a good sign hahaha

While he is not the fastest person to every toss a leg over an MX bike, he does have a skill set that makes him so unique. It seems that he can ride any bike faster than 95% of riders, and to me it shows that it is often not the bike, but the rider that makes the difference. When the local C class lineup is full of tuned suspension, titanium bits all over, and every performance farkle that can be bought, he shows that us normal riders should focus on burning more fuel (or charge here) to be better a better rider.

@@MarcSherwood *99%

@@maxswanson I agree. Any rider who can qualify for an SX final is at least faster than 99% of those who've ridden an MX bike. I've been riding for almost 40 years, and have been passed by countless great riders, and lucky enough to have been on the track to have been passed, and confused by how a pro rider can be so much faster than I thought possible. And Carson would likely lap those local pros. Riders like him just don't seem human with how they ride.

The rest of the bike soon to follow ridden like that in those conditions.

Exactly that thing sticks so far out! What a joke!

🙌

Thank You

what is the total weight of the 880 compared with 800?

238lbs fully ready to ride? Can you confirm that? That's amazing!! I want this for my next bike if so, I love lightweight bikes and the ones pushing closer to 300lb are too much for me.

238lb with 105v 75ah is impressive

@@soy_lecheI can confirm that’s correct! It has a huge amount of storage under the seat too. I put tubes, water, first aid and more in there

@@AmpedAdventuresUT Thanks for confirming...I am amped to get one

What its all about!

Thanks for the positive notes back. Man people are so negative on social and yotube its wild hahahah

@@DirtBikeMagazine OK… Now I’m sure these replies are being written by the same 14 yr old from MXA. Don’t worry, we won’t tell your big sister your playing on her phone again.

They would probably sell it with one to try to keep the cost down then have batteries for sale for anyone who wants another.

@@Calthecool That's what KT m did, but their batteries were terribly overpriced.

@@KingFriday274 Were they actually overpriced or was it just the normal cost for quality batteries?

@@Calthecool Take the price of Samsung lithium batteries and double it. That's what KT m charged.

@@Calthecool They charged twice as much as a Panasonic or a Samsung.

As Carson said, it's made to be a backyard playbike. That doesn't annoy the neighbors or attract attention from the cops. electric bikes range is completely dependent upon how you ride. The Stark can be killed in 35 minutes or it can be ridden for 6 hours. I believe I heard them say you could do one modo, but would need to charge for the second modo or you could do a 50 minute GP on a charge. I'm pretty sure you could do a few hours in the woods.

@@KingFriday274 who the fuck is Carson? Do you know James and Dante and big Jim also. What about Leroy Edward and Rob? I also know a lady knamed Krista. If you want a backyard Play bike get a Honda 50. A gallon of gas and a Honda 50 will last you two weeks. Carson is a salesman. Any monkey on the planet can put an electric motor and a battery pack on the shape of a motorcycle. This is a piece of garbage made for stupid people to buy so that the makers can make a profit and get rich. If you want to buy a high quality motorcycle with an electric motor and a battery pack WAIT for KTM Honda Kawasaki, Yamaha, Suzuki, gas, gas, and some other companies like Husqvarna. The competition to make quality competitive motorcross bikes is on the rise. When they succeed, we will all know about it. We don’t need all these garbage companies building garbage and take it advantage of children with no experience and adults with know knowledge of the subject. Trusty old Carson huh? Always wear a helmet.

WOW someone doesn't like Carson! That's a first!

@@DirtBikeMagazine Who said they didn’t like Carson…? Well… I have to say I must be wrong about the Dirt Bike staffer who is replying to comments being 14 yrs old… Now I think he must be 12. Your big sister is really gonna be pissed when she finds out you took her phone.

@@KingFriday274 Bit expensive for a playbike.

Rating says about 50 minutes so they told us cut that in half. That goes for any lithium battery. Ford Lightning rating says 375 miles but really but it in half when used.

@@DirtBikeMagazine not sure where you got that info, that range you described for the Lightning would be applicable if towing or if the battery is at end of life (not capable of achieving 80% SOC), etc. Under normal driving the Lightning meets the range rating.

@@DirtBikeMagazineit will ride for significantly longer than that unless you’re at 37kw, 51 hp, wide open the whole time

51 hp is about 39k watts 364 amps at 105v. 75ah is about 2 hrs of messing around, or 30 minutes all-out

Now that’s the funniest thing I’ve heard all day… Thnx

I rode my EXT 600 that day on the Vet track and had a blast!

3X the energy density is not "little to go" lol. Both CATL and Amprius have some 2X more dense (500Wh/kg) batteries coming out soon however so you may get your wish.

Not really built for that . Not that type of bike

From what I was told by some 12 yr old… Carson rode the entire track. The producers decided to show only the same 3 or 4 sections of the track… over and over and over and over again. I guess they were afraid they might anger whomever it was that procured the bikes for the shoot. Yeah… I know… that sure doesn’t sound like the adults that used to run Bird Bike. Oh well...

You obviously haven’t been smoked by one in the woods yet. It’s coming

I remember hearing the same thing when four strokes entered the motocross scene

@@gpaull2🤔 and when four strokes came in to the world the world was facing the same BS lying politics

When are YOU going to get it… Whether YOU like it or not, Stark, as well as some of the other electric bike makers, are selling every bike they make. They are selling faster that they can make them… Pull your head out of your arse…

@@gpaull2 That’s a very poor analogy… 4 strokes were pretty much forced on us when the AMA started slanting the rules and all the manufactures STOPPED MAKING 2 strokes. Please try harder...

😆👍

Once Dyson gets in the game, it's all over

He's insane on any bike. We love having him!

I was actually gonna say the same thing. Like really Carson only rode the same section over and over and over. I agree this is a bad review and even worse editing especially from a major magazine publisher.

Sorry you are not happy. This was day 1 and we wanted to get the video out. Like Ron says specifically in the video....a full in depth review is coming with more testing time in the saddle

Carson rode the whole track. What part of the editing was bad? Please share some of your work so we can try to be better !

​@@DirtBikeMagazinepassive aggressive much? Why would you assume someone commenting on your RU-vid video would be a content creator also? Seens a bit unrealistic. Maybe even pathetic?

It’s just a quick test video dude. Criticizing like it’s supposed to be a feature length movie in the theatre or something. Carson Brown shredding will always get a thumbs up from me.

O i thought the Flux Primo was best now? Changes every couple months now...

@@colinbowman8816 never heard of it, have to look it up. I guess if it’s not at your local bike shop for sale, who would. Anything that will keep with a 450 for 6hrs should be noticed

@@colinbowman8816 Yeah… so do the gas burning bikes… STFU

Should we make you wait 1-2 months for a video or should we at least give you some initial impressions on day 1? That's what we're up against. Don't know what someones program is unless you put your feet in their shoes for a day.

@@DirtBikeMagazine This video was nearly 12 minutes long. Instead of showing clips of the bike covering the same section of track over and over… bring the camera in close and show us how well (…or not) the bike is put together while the voice-over provides more detailed information about the things they KNOW WE WANT TO KNOW… Unless… they were afraid to do so or were told not to… so as to not piss certain people off. Yeah, I know… that doesn’t sound like the Dirt bike magazine we all know and love, does it…?

The in-depth technical spec video is being released soon.

230lbs . weights about as much as a modern day 450. there you go =)

We gave you the same info they gave us on test day. We had a pro test the bike and put it through hard riding versus someone who barely twists the throttle. Sorry you are upset but the fact is.....we gave info including Carson's opinion. Carson didn't break it and that says a lot for the bikes reliability.

agree

You'll like what we have next Tuesday then. Look at what we have on premiere on our channel right now =)

Correct, our design is geared towards enduro/single track riding. The Stark is designed for MX.

@@PinnedElectric ummm no it’s not, it has an 18” wheel version with a kickstand. The difference is the stark has real suspension not Chinese garbage. It would be a good bike for 7-8k but at 10-11k I’ll pay the little extra for a Stark

@@PinnedElectric if the Stark is just MX why do they have Taddy as a rider?🤔

I completely agree! I’d rather pump my dirt bike with dead dinosaurs and smell the sweet smell then sit there waiting for it to charge and then ride it for 30 mins 🤣 I’ll pass!

It takes 5 minutes to clean, no filter cleaning, no oil change, no pistons or clutch 😇

It really does, when Carson Brown cant make it look incredible then you know it's not that good 😂

Hell… the name alone translates literally to “Chinesium"

One word… BATTERIES…!!! Why do you think electric cars cost sooo much more…?

Bike + gen set = more $$$$ than a gas bike....

What other track did you want us to ride? What information didn't you learn? MXA and Dirt Bike don't share the same staff. Only one they shared left almost a year ago. Ron works his a$$ off . Can't wait to see what videos you produce! We'll be waiting to see how you do them!

@@DirtBikeMagazine Did you hear that loud rushing sound that went by you as you were reading my comment…? That was the point of the comment flying right over your head. But I guess thats to be expected. I really don’t care what track you go to. What other information did I not learn…? Where are these bikes manufactured ? (…although I think everyone has pretty much figured that out by now). Who is the US distributor? What suspension and other components is it using? What tires are on the bike. What is the build quality like? If most of Brown’s complaints were about the 800, why didn’t he spend more time on the 880? I am a long time big fan of Ron. But why did the video only show the bikes being ridden over more sections of the track? If parts of it were not available to you, just say so. I mentioned MXA as an example of poor video production values (…like the really crappy shorts of someone sitting on a bike and raving it up while someone walks in a circle around it with a camera. It looks like MXA’s social presence is being handles by a bunch of junior high dropouts. I hate to see Dirt Bike go the same way. But, your reply to my comment does make that look like more of a reality. Hope not….

We love to test motorcycles plain and simple. If we got paid we haven't seen the paycheck in the mail hahaha. We aren't a pay for play media outlet. Sure there are some but thats not us

This is the evolution of the sport. How is it destroying the sport when it is elevating? Colby Raha is also riding electric for urban riding.

The EXE 880 costs $7,200 alibaba

The future will laugh at you

That was my first impression like a razor or kids ebike
