Product detailed description
Arctic Leopard E-XE880 – the first electric motorcycle at Rally Dakar
Arctic Leopard E-XE880 is not just another electric enduro. This model became the first electric motorcycle to participate in the legendary Rally Dakar, proving that electric power is making its way even into the harshest environments of world motorsport.

- Torque: 880 Nm
- Top speed: 130 km/h (real ~125–130 km/h depending on gearing)
- Battery: 90 V / 75 Ah (6.75 kWh)
- Weight: 115 kg
- Homologation: L3e-A1 (road legal)
Premium Performance and Technology
The E-XE880 stands out with instant acceleration thanks to its massive torque. It offers up to 5 riding modes, regenerative braking, fast charging, and a mobile app for detailed customisation. Fully adjustable suspension, top-tier components, and road homologation make this bike a versatile companion for both track and street.
This model is designed for professional off-road riders. With a peak output of 39 kW (53 hp) and extreme 880 Nm torque, it delivers instant power that surpasses many petrol competitors. It is one of the most powerful bikes in its category, yet it maintains a low weight of 115 kg, ensuring excellent handling in demanding terrain.
Extreme Power and Instant Acceleration
The heart of the E-XE880 is a high-performance electric motor delivering about 50 hp and 880 Nm directly to the rear wheel. The immediate electric torque results in fierce acceleration with zero delay — ideal for steep climbs and high-speed sections. The throttle response is instantaneous and the bike shoots forward at the slightest twist. A top speed of ~125 km/h (up to ~130 km/h depending on gearing) places it among true racing enduros. With strong and smooth acceleration, you will conquer challenging sections effortlessly — both in racing and technical enduro.
Long Range and Fast Charging
The 90 V / 75 Ah (6.75 kWh) lithium-ion battery provides enough energy for long rides. One charge allows up to ~190 km in typical off-road riding, or up to 215 km at a steady eco pace. Charging with the built-in 2 kW charger takes about 3 hours. Adjustable regenerative braking extends range and reduces brake wear.
Premium Construction and Components
The lightweight and rigid aluminium frame ensures the ideal balance of low weight and durability. The suspension uses race-grade components: front 48 mm USD forks with 300 mm travel and a fully adjustable rear shock also with 300 mm travel. The setup provides confidence at high speeds and absorbs heavy landings on jumps and rough terrain.
J.Juan brake system: dual-piston front caliper with 270 mm disc and single-piston rear with 240 mm disc — high stopping power and strong fade resistance. CNC-machined triple clamps offer rigidity and precise steering. Wheels 21" / 18" (Giant 7050 rims) combined with Maxxis off-road tyres provide superior traction on mud, sand and rock. The whole package is built for robustness and reliability — for racing as well as long expeditions.
Intelligent Riding Modes and Technologies
The E-XE880 allows you to fine-tune power delivery to match riding conditions and rider skill. There are 5 riding modes (Novice, Trail, Enduro, Rally, MX), each with three sub-levels. Using the mobile app, you can adjust top speed, throttle response (power burst), regeneration level, and traction control sensitivity. A TFT display, electronic brake and optional electronic clutch provide an unprecedented level of control.
Driving Licence and Road Use
The Arctic Leopard E-XE880 is fully road-legal, classified as L3e-A1. Thanks to its 11 kW nominal rating, it can be ridden with an A1 licence (from 16 years old), or even with a standard category B (car licence), as this category legally covers electric motorcycles up to 11 kW in the Czech Republic.
Note: Requirements may vary in other EU countries; always check local regulations. The full-power version is intended exclusively for off-road use outside public roads.
