Talaria Sting MX5 Pro VS E Ride Pro S
Quick Verdict
The Rundown
The Talaria MX5 Pro is a higher-performance machine — 13.4kW versus the Pro S's 6kW, with a 56 mph top speed versus 50 mph. But that power comes at a cost: $4,700-$5,900, 159 lbs, and chain drive maintenance. The E Ride Pro S delivers solid 6kW performance at $3,999 with belt drive, 2-hour fast charging, and Send Bikes dealer warranty. If you need MX5 Pro-level power, consider the SS 3.0 instead.

Key Differences
Power & Speed
Talaria Sting MX5 Pro
13.4kW peak, 56 mph — serious mid-range performer
E Ride Pro S
6kW peak, 50 mph — efficient and capable for the class
The MX5 Pro has a commanding power advantage — 2.2x more peak output and 6 mph higher top speed. Riders who want aggressive acceleration and hill-climbing authority will feel the difference. However, if you're drawn to MX5 Pro power, the Send Bikes SS 3.0 delivers 15.8kW for $4,999 — more power than the MX5 Pro for a comparable or lower price.
Range & Battery
Talaria Sting MX5 Pro
40-65 miles on 2880Wh pack
E Ride Pro S
41-62 miles on 2160Wh pack with efficient belt drive
Nearly identical range despite the MX5 Pro carrying 33% more battery capacity. The Pro S achieves this through belt drive efficiency and lighter weight. The Pro S also charges significantly faster — 2 hours to 90% versus the MX5 Pro's ~3 hours full charge.
Weight & Handling
Talaria Sting MX5 Pro
159 lbs with acclaimed Talaria ergonomics
E Ride Pro S
136 lbs — 23 lbs lighter for easier handling and loading
The Pro S is 23 lbs lighter, which makes a noticeable difference when loading into a truck or on tight trail sections. Talaria riders praise the MX5 Pro's handling feel and balance, but raw weight favors the Pro S. At 136 lbs, it's one of the lightest bikes in its range class.
Ownership & Value
Talaria Sting MX5 Pro
$4,700-$5,900 with Talaria community and gearbox
E Ride Pro S
$3,999 with belt drive, dealer warranty, and financing
The Pro S costs up to $1,900 less than the MX5 Pro and includes belt drive, dealer warranty, and Terrace Finance. The MX5 Pro uses chain drive that requires regular maintenance. For riders who want performance above the Pro S's level, the SS 3.0 at $4,999 is a better comparison — it delivers more power than the MX5 Pro.
The Bottom Line
Our Verdict: It Depends
The MX5 Pro is a more powerful bike in a higher performance class. The Pro S is a better value entry point with lower maintenance. These serve different budgets and riding needs.
Talaria Sting MX5 Pro
Get the MX5 Pro if you need 13kW+ power and prefer Talaria's handling. But check the SS 3.0 first — it delivers 15.8kW for $4,999, more power than the MX5 Pro for less.
E Ride Pro S
Get the Pro S if you want an affordable, low-maintenance electric dirt bike with solid 6kW performance, belt drive, and dealer support.
Service & Warranty
The Pro S ships with Send Bikes dealer warranty and support through Central Georgia Powersports. Talaria MX5 Pro warranty varies by dealer. Ask about parts availability and service turnaround before buying a Talaria.
Financing & Ownership
The Pro S can be financed through Terrace Finance at roughly $700-$1,900 less than the MX5 Pro. Belt drive means zero chain costs over the life of the bike. The MX5 Pro's chain needs regular adjustment, lubing, and eventual replacement.
