The EBOX Dragster RS brings a 72V powertrain, 6.3kW peak output and upgraded hardware to the compact Dragster platform. It is the model to consider if you want the highest specification in the rangeābut is it the right one for your riding?
In this review, we look at what the RS offers, who it suits and what to consider before choosing it over a Dragster 60 or 60R.
The Short Verdict
The Dragster RS makes sense for an experienced rider who specifically wants a powerful, compact electric mini bike. Its appeal is the combination of the 72V system, larger battery and RS chassis hardware.
It demands confident throttle control and an appropriate place to ride. Choosing the most powerful model only makes sense if its size, layout and performance suit you.

What Makes the Dragster RS Different?
The RS sits at the top of the EBOX Dragster range. Its 72V EBX PMSM motor is paired with an 80A Fardriver controller and a 72V 25Ah battery, delivering a quoted 5.4kW rated output and 6.3kW peak power.
The specification extends beyond the powertrain. You also get 100mm-travel inverted forks, hydraulic disc brakes, a colour TFT display and RS finishing details, including the suede wedge seat.
For a buyer comparing the range, the question is whether you will benefit from that complete package. If the appeal is simply owning a compact electric bike for occasional riding, it is worth comparing the lower-powered Dragsters before committing.

Speed, range and charging figures are published estimates, rather than results from our own measured test. Actual performance varies with rider weight, terrain, riding mode, conditions and battery charge. Maximum speed and maximum range should not be expected together.
Power and Riding Modes
The RS powertrain is the main reason to choose this model. With 6.3kW peak output in a compact chassis, it requires an experienced rider who can manage acceleration and braking confidently.
The TFT display provides access to three riding modes. These give you a way to select the available performance for your session, but a lower mode does not make the RS an automatic choice for a beginner.
Battery, Range and Charging
The 72V 25Ah battery is another key part of the RS package. Its quoted range is approximately 28ā31 miles, with a charge time of around 4ā5 hours.
For everyday ownership, think about how you will actually ride. Repeated hard acceleration, higher speeds and demanding terrain use more energy, so plan around your riding conditions rather than treating the quoted range as a guarantee.
Suspension, Brakes and the Compact Layout
The RS combines 100mm-travel inverted forks with hydraulic disc brakes and wide 145/70-6 tyres. Those components are worth considering alongside the headline power figure: control and braking matter just as much as acceleration.
The Dragsterās compact layout is central to its appeal. Riders looking for a more traditional dirt-bike riding position should also compare the wider EBOX range before deciding.
My Take as a British MX Rider
My advice is to choose this bike because the whole package suits you, rather than because it has the biggest power figure.
The RS would be my pick for an experienced rider who specifically wants the top-spec Dragster. I would also look carefully at where you plan to ride and whether the compact layout is what you want.
Rider fit, control and a suitable riding area come first. The extra performance should support that choice.
Should You Choose the RS, 60R or 60?
Choose the Dragster RS if you want the 72V system, 25Ah battery and RS hardware, and you have the experience to use the performance responsibly.
Compare the Dragster 60R if you want a performance-focused Dragster but are still weighing up whether you need the flagship specification.
Compare the Dragster 60 if you want a lower-powered option within the range. Lower power still needs to be assessed against the riderās ability and size.

Final Verdict: Is the EBOX Dragster RS Worth It?
The RS is worth considering if you specifically want the flagship Dragster package. The 72V powertrain, 25Ah battery, inverted forks and hydraulic brakes give you clear reasons to choose it beyond the model badge.
For an experienced rider who wants this compact format, it is a strong option. If you are still deciding on the right type of bike, compare the other Dragsters and the EBOX V3 range before choosing.
