{"product_id":"ekx-m1-mid-drive-electric-bike","title":"EKX M1 Mid-Drive Electric Bike - Recreational Off-Road Use Only","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe EKX M1 is the top of the EKX range and the only model built around a mid-drive motor rather than a hub motor. Instead of mounting the motor inside the rear wheel, the M1 places a 10000W rated \/ 16800W peak unit at the bottom bracket and feeds its output through the 7-speed drivetrain. That matters in two ways: the bike's heaviest component sits low and centrally, which steadies handling and makes the chassis less reluctant to change direction, and the motor can use the gears, so its 560 N·m of torque is multiplied in the low ratios instead of being dumped straight into the hub. The supplier states the M1 pulls inclines of up to 70 degrees.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerformance figures reflect the extra hardware. Top speed is quoted at 70 mph (112 km\/h) and range at 93 miles (150 km) from a removable 72V 50Ah lithium pack rated at 3600Wh. The pack uses automotive-grade cells selected for sustained high-current discharge, which is what a 16.8kW peak motor demands, and an intelligent BMS monitors cell health in real time. Charging is faster than anywhere else in the range: the 72V 8A charger completes a full cycle in roughly 5 to 8 hours despite the much larger pack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe chassis is forged 6061 aluminum alloy, built to absorb motorcycle-level loads. Suspension is an inverted air-pressure front fork with 3-stage damping paired with an adjustable spring rear shock, aimed at jumps and technical descents rather than trail comfort alone. Braking steps up to 4-piston hydraulic discs, the largest calipers in the lineup, and the bike runs 70\/100-19 off-road tires. Construction is weather-sealed for wet trails and water crossings, and lighting is a high-intensity LED headlight with a reactive brake-flash taillight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 72.2 kg (159 lbs) the M1 is substantially heavier than the hub-drive bikes, which is the trade for the forged frame, the 50Ah pack and the mid-drive hardware. It fits riders from 5'5\" to 6'5\" (165-195 cm) with a 150 kg (330 lbs) payload ceiling, and it runs footpegs rather than pedals. Running costs stay low relative to a combustion dirt bike: no oil changes, spark plugs or air filters, with maintenance limited to brakes, tire pressure and chain tension. This is a serious off-road machine for experienced riders, not a road bike or a commuter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x electric dirt bike\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x 50Ah battery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x headlight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x charger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2x pedals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2x tires\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x set of fenders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x user manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e⚠️ OFF-ROAD USE ONLY — NOT STREET LEGAL\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis vehicle is designed exclusively for recreational off-road riding and is not street legal.
