The Wilson's MX35, MX37 and MX40 are the three electric dirt bikes we design ourselves. The MX35 is the way in: 1500W rated, 34 mph and 25 miles, and the one we point new off-road riders to. The MX37 spends its money on how it rides, with a mid-drive motor, four-piston hydraulic brakes and suspension at both ends, for 37 mph and 37 miles. The MX40 is the fastest and goes furthest: 3000W rated, 40 mph and 38 miles on an LG battery pack with its own five-year warranty. All three are adult off-road machines.
Every figure below is from our own product pages. Where we don't publish a number, the table says so.

Wilson's MX35: the way in
The MX35 is the most affordable way into a full-size electric dirt bike, and it's the one we steer first-time off-road riders toward. Its motor is 1500W rated with 3000W at maximum, driving the rear wheel by chain, for 34 mph. The 48V 20Ah pack gives up to 25 miles and charges in under six hours on the 3A charger.
Where it doesn't cut corners is the frame and the brakes: a steel frame, heavier than alloy but far more tolerant of being dropped, and disc brakes front and rear. Motocross-style tire sizing, 60/100-14 at the front and 60/100-12 at the back, gives a taller front wheel for rough ground and a smaller rear for traction. It's rated IPX5 and carries riders up to 265 lb.
Pick the MX35 if you're new to off-road riding, or you want a full-size electric dirt bike without the spend of the other two.
Wilson's MX37: built for how it rides
The MX37 isn't the fastest of the three. Its case is four components specified the way an off-road motorcycle specifies them:
- Mid-drive motor. 1500W rated, 3600W at maximum, mounted in the middle of the frame, so the weight sits low and centred and the rear suspension has less mass to control.
- Sine wave controller. 60V, delivering power smoothly at low speed, where there's the least grip.
- Four-piston hydraulic brakes. On 203 mm ventilated discs: the best braking we fit to anything we sell, with no cable to stretch.
- Front and rear suspension. The only MX model whose specs list a rear shock, for rough and technical ground.
Its 60V 20.8Ah pack of 18650 cells gives up to 37 miles and is rated for more than 2,000 full charges, charging in about five hours on a 2.5A smart charger. It also has an oversized LED headlight and the widest color choice in the range.
Pick the MX37 if you ride trails and rough ground and care more about braking, suspension and smooth power than about the last few mph.
Wilson's MX40: the fastest, and the biggest pack
The MX40 is the fastest ride we build. Its motor is 3000W rated, double the MX35's, with 4500W at maximum and a 40 mph top speed, the highest of anything we sell. Its 58.8V 25Ah pack of LG cells is the biggest in the MX range, which is why it also has the longest range, up to 38 miles. It charges on a 6A charger with an aluminium shell, twice the current of the MX35's charger.
The MX40 is the one MX model with its own battery warranty: five years on the pack, included with every MX40 and separate from the warranty options at checkout. Like the MX35, it has a steel frame, disc brakes at both ends, 60/100-14 and 60/100-12 tires, an IPX5 rating and a 265 lb rider limit.
It isn't the one to learn on. We tell riders new to off-road to start on the MX35 rather than the MX40. Pick the MX40 if you're an experienced rider who wants the most speed and range, and the longest battery cover.
MX37 or MX40?
The MX40 is faster than the MX37, because the two spend their money in different places. The MX40 puts it into the motor, the battery and the charger: more speed, slightly more range and the five-year pack warranty. The MX37 puts it into the parts you feel on rough ground: the mid-drive, the hydraulic brakes and the rear suspension. For open ground and speed, the MX40. For trails and technical riding, the MX37.
Where you can ride an MX
All three have a throttle, no pedals and a motorcycle layout, which puts them outside what is allowed on public roads, sidewalks and shared paths in most places. Private land, and parks or trails where the owner allows them, are where they belong. In New York, the State Police class electric dirt bikes as off-highway motorcycles, and the DMV requires registration, liability insurance away from your own property and a USDOT-approved helmet. The details are in where to ride electric dirt bikes in New York.
Rules differ between states, towns and trails, and they change. Tell us where you live and where you plan to ride, and we'll tell you what applies before you buy. Wear a helmet every time, plus gloves, boots and body armour for anything technical; we size and fit helmets and pads in store.
Warranty and service
Because we design the MX line, there's no third party between you and a repair: our own technicians service every MX at all of our shops. Each MX product page shows its warranty options at checkout, and our warranty policy sets out the coverage for Wilson's-built rides. The MX40's five-year battery warranty comes with every MX40 on top of that.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the MX35, MX37 and MX40?
The MX35 is the entry model: 1500W rated, 34 mph, 25 miles. The MX37 adds a mid-drive motor, four-piston hydraulic brakes and front and rear suspension: 37 mph, 37 miles. The MX40 has the most power and the biggest battery: 3000W rated, 40 mph, 38 miles, with a five-year battery warranty.
How fast is the Wilson's MX35?
34 mph (55 km/h), from a 1500W rated motor with 3000W at maximum. Its range is up to 25 miles.
Which MX is best for a beginner?
The MX35. It's the one we recommend to riders new to off-road, with a steel frame that tolerates drops and disc brakes front and rear.
Is the MX40 faster than the MX37?
Yes: 40 mph against 37 mph. The MX37 spends its money on suspension, brakes and a mid-drive motor instead of outright speed.
Are the MX electric dirt bikes street legal?
No. They have a throttle, no pedals and a motorcycle layout, so they're for private land and trails where the owner allows them. They are not sold or shipped to New York City addresses.
Can you service an MX at any Wilson's shop?
Yes. We design the MX line, and our own technicians service it at every Wilson's shop.
