In the sun-dappled shadows of Bend, Oregon, Dust Moto is shaking up the dirt bike scene with its all-electric Hightail. This nimble machine punches above its weight with 42 horsepower and an earth-twisting 660Nm of torque, all packed into a feather-light sub-100kg frame.
It’s electric, whisper-quiet, and brimming with American ingenuity, offering a riding experience that’s as intuitive as it is exhilarating.
Ride of the Future
The Dust Moto Hightail isn’t just a bike; it’s a rethink. A compact chassis, a swappable 4.4 kWh battery, and a drivetrain quieter than your dinner table chatter make this dirt bike accessible to terrains and riders once off-limits.
Founder Colin Godby gets it: electric bikes aren’t just for newbies. Whether you’re taming urban trails or exploring sound-sensitive natural spots, this bike makes it all possible—with a smile glued to your face.
“Teaching people to ride an electric dirt bike is easier; they pick it up more quickly, and without the noise, a lot more riding opportunities become available,” said Colin Godby, founder and CEO of Dust Moto. “But the benefits of electric aren’t only for new riders. Suddenly, backyard tracks, urban areas, and natural sites with noise restrictions became accessible to riders that weren’t available with gas-powered bikes.”
Built with Purpose, Made in the USA
Dust Moto teamed up with Bloom, a Detroit-based EV manufacturing platform, to bring the Hightail to life.
This partnership ensures every Dust Moto Hightail rolls out with American craftsmanship and a commitment to sustainability. Agile and responsive, it’s a bike so telepathic to your inputs, that you’ll wonder if it reads minds.
Your $100 Ticket to Ride
At $10,950, the Hightail doesn’t come cheap, but Dust Moto’s transparent “build in public” approach has already cultivated a loyal following. The $100 refundable deposit secures your place in line for deliveries in late 2025.
With the Hightail, Dust Moto isn’t just making a bike—it’s shaping the future of dirt biking. Ride on, quietly and boldly. Learn more about the Hightail on Dust Moto’s website.
