ReRode R1+ 17kw / 72v
Light, quick, and way more serious than it looks.
The ReRode R1+ is a lightweight, high-performance electric moto built for riders who want sharp handling, punchy acceleration, and a bike that feels ready for trails, singletrack, and technical terrain without feeling like a full-size dirt bike.
Powered by a 17kW drivetrain and a 72V 40Ah lithium-ion battery, the R1+ brings serious snap in a compact package. It is not trying to be the biggest bike in the room. It is trying to be the one that feels fast, controlled, and easy to throw around when the trail gets tight.
For buyers reading between the lines: this is a real performance machine. It deserves the right rider, the right gear, and a little respect before the throttle gets spicy.
BLACKOUT Moto Take
The R1+ hits a strong middle lane: more powerful than a basic starter e-moto, lighter and more agile than bigger electric dirt bikes, and built with the kind of specs riders actually care about — power, battery, suspension, brakes, wheel setup, and control.
This bike makes sense for riders who want a capable off-road electric moto that can grow with them. It has enough punch to stay exciting, but enough balance to feel manageable when the trail gets technical.
Translation: quick hands, clear head, good gear. Your future knees approve.

Power & Performance
The R1+ runs an advanced LPMSM motor with a FOC sine-wave controller, giving it smooth throttle response, strong torque, and controlled power delivery. With 17kW peak power and 500 N·m peak torque, this bike is built to move — not just roll around looking cute in the garage.
The 72V 40Ah Samsung-cell battery gives the R1+ real ride potential, with published range listed up to 50 miles at 27 mph. Real-world range will vary based on rider weight, terrain, speed, tire pressure, ride mode, and how often your right wrist gets ambitious.
Suspension & Handling
The R1+ is built around a lightweight aluminum alloy frame with balanced geometry, a 1280 mm wheelbase, and a 143 lb approximate weight with battery. That gives the bike a nimble feel in tighter terrain while still keeping it planted when speeds pick up.
Up front, the R1+ gets 200 mm of suspension travel. Out back, it uses 85 mm of rear travel. Pair that with the 19” front / 18” rear CST tire setup, and the bike is ready for trails, rough sections, and quick direction changes.
Brakes & Control - Fast is fun. Stopping matters.
The R1+ uses hydraulic disc brakes with a 220 mm front rotor and 203 mm rear rotor, DOT brake fluid, and a 2.3 mm rotor thickness. That gives riders the kind of control they need when the trail tightens up, the speed builds, or someone in the crew suddenly remembers gravity exists.
Tech & Features
The R1+ includes a 2” TFT display, app-enabled connectivity, Eco / Sport / Sport+ ride modes, regenerative braking, and onboard USB / USB-C charging ports. Pinned Electric also lists the available decal colors as Cyber Yellow, Black/White, Black, and Light Grey.
BLACKOUT Setup Note
Before the first real ride, know your modes, check your brakes, understand your charging routine, and gear up properly.
This bike is built to rip, not built for guessing.
Respect the machine. Ride smart. Go Big - Live Right.
