Our pick for most confident riders: EBOX V3 60R.
My Take as a British MX Rider
The standard V3 60 is already a proper electric dirt bike. It has enough performance to feel exciting, but its smoother delivery makes it the more sensible option for riders taking their first step into the V3 range.
The 60R feels sharper and gives you more usable battery capacity. If the rider already has suitable experience and the budget can stretch to it, the 60R is the model I would look at first.

What Does the V3 60R Actually Upgrade?
These bikes share the same basic V3 chassis dimensions, 14/12-inch wheel setup and 60V motor platform. The difference is not simply the colour scheme.
The larger battery is arguably the most important upgrade. It provides more usable capacity and supports the 60R’s stronger sustained performance.
In simple terms: the V3 60 feels quick and manageable. The V3 60R feels sharper, faster and better suited to an experienced rider.
EBOX V3 60: Who Is It Best For?
The Entry V3
The V3 60 is the most affordable route into the full V3 platform. It is still a fast and capable off-road bike, but its smoother delivery makes it the more approachable choice.
- Lower purchase price
- 60V 18.2Ah battery
- 3.3kW rated and around 5.2kW peak power
- Up to around 45mph
- Full suspension and hydraulic brakes
- Compact 14/12-inch chassis
Choose the V3 60 if budget and manageable delivery are your main priorities.
EBOX V3 60R: Who Is It Best For?
The Performance Sweet Spot
The V3 60R keeps the same compact dimensions but adds the battery capacity and higher rated output that make the biggest difference in use.
- 60V 26Ah smart BMS battery
- 4.5kW rated and 5.2kW peak power
- 80A Fardriver controller
- Up to 53mph
- Stronger sustained performance
- Sharper acceleration and throttle response
Choose the 60R if the rider has suitable experience and wants the strongest all-round 60V V3.
Is the V3 60R Worth the Extra Money?
For a suitably experienced rider, we think it is.
The price increase buys a substantial jump from 18.2Ah to 26Ah battery capacity, higher rated output, a higher claimed top speed and a sharper overall riding experience.
If you are likely to want more performance or range later, choosing the 60R from the start normally makes more sense.
Rider suitability: Neither model should be selected by age alone. Consider the rider’s height, inside-leg measurement, strength, maturity and experience. Both are high-performance off-road bikes requiring suitable protective equipment and responsible supervision.
Private land only: These bikes are not road legal. They must only be used on suitable private land with the landowner’s permission.
Delivery and Setup Options
Both models can be ordered boxed or with our professional Built & PDI preparation service where available. Your preferred option can be selected at checkout.
Boxed Delivery
The bike arrives partly assembled and requires correct final assembly, adjustment and complete safety checks. EBOX bikes must be assembled and PDI checked by a suitably qualified and competent mechanic, with evidence retained.
Built & PDI
Our workshop team assembles, adjusts and safety-checks the bike before delivery. This is the option we strongly recommend.
Important: Never ride either bike if the brakes, wheels, steering, controls or any other safety-critical component are not correctly fitted and operating properly.
Our Verdict
Choose the EBOX V3 60 if you want the most affordable and approachable entry into the V3 platform.
Choose the EBOX V3 60R if you want the larger battery, higher rated output, stronger performance and better long-term specification.
The V3 60 is the entry model. The V3 60R is our all-round pick for confident riders.
