Electro & Co Buyer’s Guide
Which Electro & Co Should I Buy?
Quick answer: most riders should start with the Electro & Co RTR Lite. Choose the ETM RTR Sport if you want the upgraded 72V performance model, the ETM RTR XL if you want the biggest and fastest Electro & Co, or The Rizzler if you want a compact stunt-focused mini bike.
Electro & Co bikes are serious electric pit bikes and stunt machines, not gentle kids’ balance bikes. The right model depends on rider size, experience, budget, riding style and how much performance you actually need.

Garland Verdict
Buy the RTR Lite if you want the best value and a sensible entry into Electro & Co ownership.
Buy the ETM RTR Sport if you want more power, stronger hardware and the newer 72V performance setup.
Buy the ETM RTR XL if you are taller, faster or want the most serious big-wheel Electro & Co.
Buy The Rizzler if you want a compact stunt bike built for wheelies, tricks and short-session fun.
Electro & Co RTR Lite
The Electro & Co RTR Lite is the model most riders should look at first. It gives you the Electro & Co feel, styling and platform in a more accessible package.
Choose the RTR Lite if:
- You are buying your first Electro & Co.
- You want strong performance without going straight to the highest-spec model.
- You want better value for money.
- The rider is a confident teen or lighter adult.
- You want a platform that can be upgraded over time.
The RTR Lite makes sense because it gives you a serious electric pit bike feel without the larger jump in price and performance of the higher-spec models.
Electro & Co RTR ETM
The Electro & Co RTR ETM is the more performance-focused version of the standard RTR platform. It is better suited to confident riders who already know they want more capability than the RTR Lite.
Choose the RTR ETM if:
- You are an experienced rider.
- You want stronger acceleration and performance than the RTR Lite.
- You are coming from petrol pit bikes.
- You are an adult rider wanting a more serious electric bike.
- You do not want to outgrow the bike quickly.
The RTR ETM is still a strong choice for riders who want a serious Electro & Co, but the newer Sport and XL models now give more specific options for riders wanting upgraded hardware or a bigger chassis.
Electro & Co ETM RTR Sport
The Electro & Co ETM RTR Sport is the upgraded 2026 performance model. It uses a 72V 25Ah hot-swappable battery, E&C Revolver Sport 65H IPM brushless motor, 8KW peak power and a high strength 420 chain drive.

Choose the ETM RTR Sport if:

- You want 72V power and 8KW peak output.
- You want a stronger 420 chain final drive.
- You want improved brakes, stronger swingarm and better thermal performance.
- You are an experienced rider who will use the extra performance.
The ETM RTR Sport is the one to choose if you want the more serious middle ground between the standard RTR models and the larger RTR XL.
Electro & Co ETM RTR XL
The Electro & Co ETM RTR XL is the biggest, fastest and most stable model in the Electro & Co RTR lineup. It uses a 72V 35Ah Samsung lithium battery, 16KW peak power, 17/14 wheels, 4-piston brakes front and rear and an 810mm seat height.
Shop Electro & Co ETM RTR XL →
Choose the ETM RTR XL if:
- You are a taller or larger rider.
- You want the most powerful Electro & Co model.
- You want a bigger 17/14 wheel setup.
- You want more high-speed stability.
- You want the closest feel to a full-size electric pit bike.
The RTR XL is not the model for a nervous beginner. It is the one for experienced riders who want more room, more stability and serious performance.
Electro & Co The Rizzler
The Electro & Co The Rizzler Bike is completely different from the RTR models. It is a compact electric stunt mini bike with 6/6 wheels, 5KW peak power, a 60V 26Ah hot-swappable battery, stunt peg mounts and a built-in foothold behind the seat.
Shop Electro & Co The Rizzler →
Choose The Rizzler if:
- You want a stunt-focused electric mini bike.
- You are interested in wheelies, tricks and short-session riding.
- You want something compact and different from a normal pit bike.
- You want 5KW performance in a small mini bike package.
- You understand it is still a serious high-performance machine.
The Rizzler is the fun, stunt-focused option in the range. It is not the best choice for motocross-style riding, taller riders or nervous beginners, but it makes perfect sense for riders who want a compact wheelie machine.
