There's a new kind of electric pit bike in town — and it didn't come from a factory floor. It came from decades of motorcycle racing, Southern California dirt, and a family that's lived and breathed moto culture for generations. That bike is the 78 Forged, and it's unlike anything else in the electric pit bike market.
What Is the 78 Forged?
The 78 Forged is a high-performance electric pit bike designed for young riders who are ready to take their riding seriously. It's not a toy. It's not a beginner scooter. It's a full-featured electric dirt bike with real moto DNA — hydraulic suspension, MX-tuned geometry, and a 60V powertrain that delivers serious performance across three selectable speed modes.
Performance That Grows With Your Rider
One of the biggest challenges parents face when buying an electric dirt bike is finding something that won't be outgrown in a season. The 78 Forged solves that with three speed modes:
- Mode 1 – 25mph: Perfect for beginners building confidence
- Mode 2 – 35mph: For intermediate riders pushing their limits
- Mode 3 – 45mph: Full send for experienced young rippers
With a peak output of 4.5kW and 35 N·m of torque, the power delivery is smooth and predictable — exactly what a developing rider needs to build skill without getting overwhelmed.
Built to Last: The Specs That Matter
We didn't cut corners on the components that count. The 78 Forged runs a 60V / 20Ah Samsung 21700 lithium-ion battery rated IP67 waterproof, paired with a 60V PMSM motor and an 80A vector controller. That means consistent, efficient power delivery — and a range of up to 40 miles in Mode 1 or 20 miles when you're pinning it in Mode 3.
The suspension setup is where the 78 Forged really separates itself from the competition:
- 125mm front hydraulic fork — tuned to absorb chatter and handle hard hits
- 65mm rear hydraulic shock — predictable, supportive, and race-inspired
Add in front and rear hydraulic brakes, a full MX-spec wheel set (F 60/100-14 / R 80/100-12), and a 420 chain drivetrain, and you've got a bike that's ready for the track, the trail, or the backyard.
True Moto Heritage
GayEBikes was born from generations of motorcycle racing. That heritage isn't just marketing — it's in every design decision on the 78 Forged. From the full-body plastics to the moto-style seat with premium foam and tear-resistant fabric, every detail reflects what a real moto family understands: bikes should be built from experience, not trends.
The 78 Forged is available in three colorways that speak to our Southern California roots — Sierra (Gray), Summit (White), and Sunset (Orange). Each one is a statement.
Is the 78 Forged Right for Your Rider?
The 78 Forged is ideal for riders who:
- Are ready to move beyond beginner electric bikes
- Want a bike that can grow with them through multiple skill levels
- Value real moto components — not plastic imitations
- Are looking for a Sur-Ron alternative with more style and soul
At $1,778, the 78 Forged delivers premium performance at a price that makes sense for families who are serious about riding.
