We are a family owned mini moto and ebike club in Tempe, so this one is written for people in the Valley. If you are in Phoenix, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, Scottsdale, Glendale or Tempe and you are shopping for an electric dirt bike, here is the whole picture: what they cost, how to get one today, how Arizona heat treats a lithium battery, and the one legal rule that catches most people out.
What we have, and what it costs
- Sykeruns X5, $975. 3000W, 48V 20Ah, 50 mph, fits a rider about 4 ft to 5 ft 11 in and up to 265 lbs.
- Sykeruns X7, $1,350. 5500W, 60V 27Ah, 220 N.m, 56 mph, fits up to about 6 ft 3 in and 330 lbs.
Both prices include free shipping anywhere in the 50 states, so the number on the page is the number you pay. Both are brand new and sealed in the factory crate.
If you are looking for a kid's bike rather than a teen or adult bike, these are not it. Gear one on the X5 still does about 15 mph. For a kid, our 50cc gas minis are $300 with a governor screw a parent can turn right down, and the 60cc is $380 for a bigger kid. If you are still torn between gas and electric for a younger rider, read our gas vs electric guide for kids.
Same day pickup in Tempe
You do not have to wait on shipping if you are local. Text us at 623 320 8984, tell us which bike, and we will set up a time and send you the pickup details then. Same day is normal.
Local payment is cash, Zelle, Cash App or Venmo. Online it is Apple Pay, Shop Pay and all the major cards.
If you would rather it come to the door, shipping is free and it is usually 2 to 5 business days, with a tracking number the day it leaves.
Why people in the Valley pick electric
Noise. This is the number one reason around here. Phoenix neighbourhoods sit close together, and a two stroke at the back of a property gets you a conversation with a neighbour fast. An electric is quiet enough that most of that problem goes away. If you have a dirt lot or an acre out past the edge of town, this is the difference between riding and not riding.
No fuel in the garage in July. Nobody wants a can of mixed gas sitting in a 115 degree garage. There is nothing to mix on an electric.
Dust. Valley dirt is fine and it gets everywhere. A gas bike wants its air filter cleaned constantly out here. An electric has no air filter, no carburetor and no spark plug to foul.
It starts. No pull start, no choke, no flooding it. Push the button.
The honest part about Arizona heat
Lithium batteries do not love heat, and we live in the hottest part of the country. Two things to actually do about it:
- Let it cool before you charge it. Coming off a ride in summer, the pack is hot. Plugging a hot pack straight in is the fastest way to shorten its life. Give it half an hour in the shade first.
- Do not store it in the garage at full charge all summer. Store it part charged, somewhere as cool as you can manage, and top it up before you ride.
The full version, including winter storage, is in how to charge an electric dirt bike battery and make it last. Looking after the pack is most of owning an electric, and in Arizona it is the whole job.
Range in the heat: expect about 20 to 25 real off road miles from the X5 and about 22 to 31 from the X7, not the factory numbers. Hills and deep sand cut that further. Plan around the lower number and you will not be pushing a 126 lb bike back to the truck in the sun.
The Arizona rule nobody tells you before you load up
Read this part before you buy, not after.
Arizona requires an OHV decal for off highway vehicles under 1,800 lbs when they are operated on public land. It costs $25 a year. The catch is that to get the decal, the machine has to be titled and registered in Arizona first.
Our bikes are off road use only. They are not street legal and they do not come with a title. So they cannot get an Arizona OHV decal, which means the public OHV areas that require one are off the table.
What is still open to you:
- Private property, yours or somebody's with permission. This is where most of our customers ride.
- Private tracks and parks that run on their own rules rather than the state decal. Arizona Cycle Park northwest of the Valley has a mini track and family off road courses, Canyon Motocross in the north Valley has beginner areas, and ET MotoPark is down in the Tucson area. Call ahead, because every park sets its own age, gear and machine rules.
The public areas, Tonto National Forest designated routes, Boulders OHV near Florence, Table Mesa off I-17, Alto Pit up in Prescott National Forest and Cinder Hills near Flagstaff, are real riding and worth knowing about, but they are decal territory. The full breakdown of what each one needs is in where can you legally ride a dirt bike in Arizona, and the national picture is in the 50 state guide.
One more Arizona rule that is not optional: anyone under 18 operating or riding an OHV has to wear a properly fitted, fastened helmet meeting the DOT standard. Our gear guide covers how to fit one properly and what the DOT and Snell labels mean.
Which one should you get
Three questions settle it almost every time.
How much does the rider weigh? Over 265 lbs and it is the X7, because that is the X5's limit. Not an upgrade, the only one that fits.
How tall is the rider? Over 5 ft 11 in and it is the X7 again, which fits up to about 6 ft 3 in.
What ground are you riding? Flat lots, hard pack and open desert, the X5 has plenty. Steep loose climbs and deep sand where you are often starting from stopped on a slope, the X7's 220 N.m is what you want.
Everything else is in Sykeruns X5 vs X7. If you are comparing against a Sur Ron, we wrote an honest version of that too, including what you give up at a third of the price. We also wrote a full Sykeruns X5 review and a full Sykeruns X7 review with specs, real range and what each one costs.
What happens if something breaks
Straight with you, because this is the part people get burned on with a direct import. Plugged by 50CC does not cover or pay for warranty and we are not the warranty company. If a part is defective, we contact the manufacturer on your behalf and get the correct part sent to you free, for the first year. We are the people who chase the factory so you do not have to.
Being local helps here. If you picked up in Tempe and something is not right, you are texting a person who lives twenty minutes away, not a support inbox in another time zone.
Questions
Do you have a showroom I can come look at?
Text 623 320 8984 first and we will arrange a time and send you the details. We are not a walk in storefront, so please do not drive out before you have messaged us.
How much assembly is there?
Ships mostly assembled. You put on the front wheel and handlebar at home. Tools and a video are included. Figure 20 to 30 minutes, then a first full charge before the first ride.
Can I ride it to the OHV area and back?
No. These are not street legal, so they get trailered or thrown in a truck bed. A 126 lb bike fits in most pickups with two people lifting.
Is there financing?
Shop Pay is available at checkout. Whatever it offers on the day is between you and Shop Pay, not us.
Do you ship outside Arizona?
Yes, free to all 50 states, same day dispatch, 2 to 5 business days.
Next step
Text us at 623 320 8984 with the rider's height and weight and where you plan to ride. We answer the same day, and we will tell you to buy the cheaper bike when that is the right answer.
Off road use only. Not street legal and does not come with a title. Plugged by 50CC is an independent retailer in Tempe, Arizona. We do not manufacture, assemble, modify or service the bikes we sell. Arizona OHV decal and helmet rules are summarised here as of October 2026 and can change, so check with the land manager before you ride.
