Bottom line
The Freego Nova 5 electric dirt bike is available in two versions: standard or Pro. The Nova 5's high speed, rapid acceleration, and hill-climbing abilities impress most. It's easy to handle and wheelie, and the suspension works well. Taller riders appreciate the larger size, as many e-motos are on the small side, but those under 5'8" won't fit. However, the budget quality is evident in the plastic build and the lack of tuning options and safety certification. Unfortunately, test bikes arrive with brake issues, loose bolts, disconnected wiring, and broken plastic parts. Overall, quality control issues reduce the Freego Nova 5's appeal.Expert Reviews
