Tasaca’ s new dirt bike brings high performance at accessible price

Electric dirt bike manufacturer Tasaca recently unveiled the new T500 Pro, its latest EV, which the company says delivers the power, capability, and control expected of high-performance electric dirt bikes while remaining priced below $ 2,000.
At the heart of the T500 Pro is a 6,500W peak middrive motor capable of producing up to 365 Nm of

torque( 270 ft. lbs). Tasaca adopts a flat-wire motor design that delivers higher energy conversion efficiency and improved heat dissipation, and it can climb gradients of up to 45 degrees while reaching a top speed of 55 mph. Powering the drivetrain is a 60V 27Ah highcapacity battery with a riding range of 55 to 60 miles
The chassis is equipped with a 17−inch front wheel and a 14−inch rear wheel paired with off-road anti-slip tires. This wheel configuration improves ground clearance and obstacle-crossing capability while delivering stronger traction on loose surfaces such as gravel, mud, and unpaved trails.
Weighing just over 146 pounds, the dirt bike is significantly easier to handle than many conventional gasolinepowered dirt bikes. A low 29−inch seat height allows riders between 54 and 77 inches tall to place their feet on the ground more comfortably. Despite its lightweight construction, the dirt bike supports a maximum load capacity of 353 pounds, making it suitable for a broad range of riders.
Overall, Tasaca says the T500 Pro accommodates riders who still expect high top speeds, manageable handling, and a confidence-inspiring riding position.
