Electric mobility company Heybike has begun selling its Villain electric dirt bike through its official website, expanding its sports lineup with a model aimed at both off-road use and city riding.
The Villain is positioned as a performance-focused electric dirt bike and is priced at $1,499, though Heybike is offering a limited-time discount that lowers the price to $1,399. The company said early buyers will also receive a free gift box of riding gear, adding to its launch incentives.

According to Heybike, the Villain is powered by a mid-drive motor delivering up to 4,160 watts of peak output and 190 Nm of torque, paired with a large 1,350 Wh battery. The company said the bike “offers a top speed of 45 mph (72 km/h) and a maximum range of 50 miles (80 km) on a single charge,” positioning it at the higher end of consumer electric dirt bikes.
The bike includes selectable riding modes that limit speed to 38 mph or 20 mph, as well as suspension designed for rough terrain, with a hydraulic front fork offering 150 mm of travel and a rear nitrogen air shock. Stopping power is provided by hydraulic disc brakes with 190 mm rotors, while the bike rides on 14-inch front and 12-inch rear tires.
