2024 Beta Explorer for Sale

The new 2024 Beta Explorer electric dirt bike is a small-chassis trail bike aimed at “trail riding, camping, hunting, or just working around the ranch.” It features a 17 horsepower motor with a 74-volt, 34 Ah hot-swappable battery, giving the Explorer a top speed of 40 mph. A Beta insider describes the new Explorer as “roughly 30% smaller than a normal off-road motorcycle.” The seat height is 33.8 inches. While the rear rim is a standard 18-inch diameter hoop, the Kenda tire is just three inches wide. The front wheel is a small 19-inch, with the tire just 2.75 inches wide. The brakes and suspensions resemble mountain bike spec rather than traditional motorcycle units. All these features combine to save weight, so the 2024 Beta Explorer tips the scales at just 150 pounds. Range is always an issue, especially with off-road electric motorcycles. Beta is vague about the range, claiming “50-100 miles” in the Casual mode. The Casual mode cuts the top speed and torque in half compared to the Medium mode, which Beta says is good for “30-60 miles.” A Rocket mode is good for a 10-second power burst; reverse is standard. The battery can be swapped out in minutes. Charging time is also a bit hazy, with Beta telling us “2-3 hours” when plugged into a standard outlet. Beta warranties the battery and sealed motor for two years, and there’s no word on the cost of additional batteries. There’s a storage space under the seat. Beta claims room for “a water canteen, a small dome tent, or a nice lunch for a picnic.” ENGINE Motor: Electric Maximum power: 17 horsepower Top speed: 40 mph Battery: Swappable 74-volt Capacity: 35 Ah Charge time: 2 hours Range: Speed One: Up to 100 miles; Speed Two: Up to 60 miles Battery and sealed motor warranty: Two years Transmission: Clutchless direct drive w/ reverse CHASSIS Frame: Forged aluminum w/ steel upper structure Front suspension: Adjustable inverted fork Rear suspension: Linkage-assisted fully adjustable shock Tires: Kenda Front tire: 2.75 x 19 Rear tire: 3.00 x 18 Brakes f&r: 210mm disc w/ hydraulic caliper DIMENSIONS and CAPACITIES Wheelbase: 52.4 inches Seat height: 33.8 inches Maximum rider weight: 265 pounds Weight: 150 pounds
