Talaria Sting Pro MX5 (TL5500) | Electric Dirt Bike Australia & NZ
The Talaria Sting Pro MX5 (TL5500) has quickly become one of the most talked-about electric dirt bikes in Australia and New Zealand — and for good reason. It pairs race-grade off-road capability with a lightweight, silent electric drivetrain, making it a serious contender for riders who want trail performance without the noise, fuel and maintenance of a combustion engine.
Power That Punches Above Its Weight.
At the heart of the MX5 is a 72V, 40Ah lithium-ion battery built on Samsung 50S 21700 cells, delivering 2.88 kWh of energy — the most powerful pack Talaria has fitted to a Sting model to date. That feeds a mid-mounted IPM motor rated at 5.5 kW, with a peak output of 13.4 kW (about 17 hp) in unrestricted mode.talariapowertech+2
The headline figure is the 500 Nm of torque at the rear wheel. This instant, controllable torque lets the MX5 climb steep hills and punch out of corners with ease, while the new gearbox and chain drive (48T rear sprocket) keep delivery smooth and reliable.talariapowertech+2
Built for the Trail
Talaria didn’t just add power — it upgraded the chassis to match. The MX5 uses a high-strength 6061 T4 & T6 aluminium alloy frame, forged under 6,000 tonnes of pressure for rigidity and durability. Suspension duties are handled by an adjustable air and dual-spring front fork with 220mm of travel, paired with a rear shock offering 85mm of travel through a linkage system.talariapowertech+1
With 19-inch wheels shod in CST off-road tyres (70/100-19 front, 80/100-19 rear), 300mm of ground clearance and a 45° maximum climbing angle, the MX5 is genuinely trail-ready straight out of the box. Stopping power comes from improved four-piston hydraulic brakes with 220mm discs front and rear.talariapowertech+2
Speed, Range and Riding Modes
Top speed sits at 95 km/h (59 mph) when unrestricted, with a factory-restricted mode capping it at around 32–50 km/h for compliance. Range depends on how you ride: expect up to 100 km at a steady 25 km/h, or roughly 68 km under harder use.pedl+2
Three power modes — Eco, Sport and Hyper — let you tailor response to the terrain, while a colourful TFT display keeps speed, battery and mode info clear at a glance. Regenerative braking with four levels of adjustment adds back range and improves control on descents.talariapowertech+1
Pricing and Availability in AU & NZ
In Australia, the Sting Pro MX5 is typically priced between $7,500 and $8,500 AUD, with major retailers like Talaria Australia, E-Move Bikes and PedL offering stock Australia-wide. New Zealand availability is handled through local distributors such as E Moto NZ. Prices generally exclude on-road costs, so factor in registration and delivery when budgeting.pedl+3
Know Your Local Laws
Before riding on public roads, check your state or territory’s rules. The MX5 is an off-road machine, and in both Australia and New Zealand electric dirt bikes like this are typically restricted to trail and private land unless registered and compliant with local road regulations. Always confirm the legal requirements in your region before purchase.iscoot

The Talaria Sting Pro MX5 TL5500 delivers 13.4 kW peak power, 500 Nm torque and up to 100 km range. Compare AU/NZ pricing, specs and legality before you buy.
