The thrill of riding an electric dirt bike isn't limited to off-road trails. Many riders are eager to explore the possibilities of using their electric dirt bikes for commuting and recreational street riding. However, navigating the regulations for street legality can be complex.

Varied Regulations Across Regions

Whether or not your electric dirt bike is street legal depends heavily on your location. Different regions and countries have varying certification and test requirements. This means what's legal in one area might not be in another.

Key Certifications: EEC and DOT

European Union (EU): In European countries, the EEC (European Economic Community) certification is often a crucial requirement for street-legal electric dirt bikes. This certification ensures the vehicle meets specific safety and performance standards. This is also kown as E-mark.

United States (US): In the United States, the DOT (Department of Transportation) certification is essential for street legality. This certification verifies that the vehicle complies with federal motor vehicle safety standards.

RAWRR Mantis and EEC Certification

We're proud to announce that the RAWRR Mantis electric dirt bike holds EEC certification. This certification demonstrates our commitment to meeting European safety and performance standards, making the RAWRR Mantis a viable option for street riding in compliant regions.

Important Considerations:

Even with EEC or DOT certification, additional local regulations may apply. These could include requirements for:

• Licensing
• Registration
• Insurance
• Specific equipment (e.g., headlights, taillights, turn signals, mirrors)

Always check with your local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or equivalent authority to understand the specific regulations in your area.

It is the riders responsibility to ensure that they are following all local laws and regulations.

In summary: While electric dirt bikes can be street legal, it's essential to understand and comply with the specific regulations in your region. RAWRR Mantis's EEC certification is a significant step towards street legality in Europe, but always verify local requirements before riding on public roads.
