The Talaria Komodo is Talaria's full-size high-performance electric dirt bike, with 32kW peak power, up to 754Nm of torque, a 97.2V 45Ah battery and a claimed range of up to 70 miles.
In the UK, there are two important versions to understand: the Talaria Komodo TL6000, built for off-road use, and the Talaria Komodo L3e, the road-legal version.
The off-road Talaria Komodo TL6000 is currently priced at £5,199, while the road-legal Komodo L3e is currently £5,695 before applicable on-the-road costs.
If you're considering a Komodo in the UK, here's what you need to know before choosing one.
TALARIA KOMODO UK AT A GLANCE
The key specifications for the UK Talaria Komodo TL6000 off-road model.
Manufacturer specifications. Range and performance vary with terrain, rider weight, temperature, battery charge and riding style.
What is the Talaria Komodo?
The Talaria Komodo TL6000 is a high-performance electric dirt bike designed for riders who want a bigger, more powerful machine than Talaria's lighter electric bikes.
Its headline figure is 32kW peak power, combined with up to 754Nm of torque.
But the Komodo isn't simply about putting a bigger motor into a smaller electric bike.
It uses a 97.2V 45Ah battery, 21-inch front and 18-inch rear off-road wheels, adjustable suspension, hydraulic disc brakes, regenerative braking and multiple riding modes.
The result is a more substantial electric dirt bike aimed at riders looking for serious off-road performance.
How much is a Talaria Komodo in the UK?
The current UK price for the Talaria Komodo TL6000 is £5,199.
MotoEbikes supplies the Talaria Komodo from our Guildford showroom, where our team can help you compare it with other Talaria, Sur-Ron and high-performance electric dirt bikes before you buy.
There is also a road-legal version.
The Talaria Komodo L3e currently costs £5,695 before applicable on-the-road costs.
That distinction matters because the TL6000 and L3e are intended for different uses.
Talaria Komodo TL6000 vs Komodo L3e
There are two Komodo models UK buyers are likely to encounter.
Talaria Komodo TL6000
The TL6000 is the off-road Komodo.
It is designed for private land, tracks, trails and other suitable areas where you have permission to ride.
Do not buy the TL6000 expecting it to be the standard road-going version.
Talaria Komodo L3e
The Komodo L3e is the road-legal version.
It is designed and homologated for public-road use and includes the equipment required for its road-approved configuration.
If you intend to ride primarily on public roads, this is the Komodo version you should investigate.
How powerful is the Talaria Komodo?
Talaria quotes 32kW peak power and up to 754Nm of peak torque for the Komodo.
Talaria also claims acceleration from 0–60mph in approximately 4.5 seconds.
That makes the Komodo a very different proposition from a lightweight beginner electric dirt bike.
If you're moving up from a lower-powered machine, don't choose purely by looking at the biggest power number. Rider experience, size, terrain and how you intend to use the bike all matter.
What is the Talaria Komodo top speed?
Talaria quotes a maximum speed of approximately 105km/h, or 65mph, for the off-road Komodo TL6000.
Real-world speed can vary according to rider weight, terrain, battery charge, gradient, tyres and riding conditions.
The road-legal L3e has its own approved road configuration, so don't assume every Komodo version has exactly the same road specification.
What battery does the Talaria Komodo have?
The Talaria Komodo uses a 97.2V 45Ah lithium-ion battery.
That gives an approximate nominal battery capacity of:
97.2V × 45Ah = 4,374Wh
or approximately:
4.37kWh
The high-voltage battery system is one of the key components supporting the Komodo's high peak output.
What range does the Talaria Komodo have?
Talaria quotes a range of up to 70 miles.
That is a manufacturer claimed maximum rather than a guarantee that every rider will cover 70 miles.
Actual range depends heavily on riding conditions.
Fast riding, aggressive acceleration, hills, soft ground, heavier riders and colder temperatures can all reduce range.
If range is important to you, compare bikes according to the riding you actually intend to do rather than simply choosing the highest manufacturer's claimed number.
Is the Talaria Komodo road legal in the UK?
It depends on the version.
The Talaria Komodo TL6000 is the off-road version.
The Talaria Komodo L3e is the road-legal version.
For public-road use, you also need to meet the registration, insurance and licence requirements that apply to the particular motorcycle and rider.
Do not assume that buying an off-road Komodo automatically makes it suitable for public-road riding.
Can you ride a Talaria Komodo on a CBT?
The important figure for UK motorcycle licensing is not simply the Komodo's advertised 32kW peak output.
Electric motorcycle licence classification depends on the vehicle's approved classification and continuous rated power.
For that reason, your entitlement depends on the exact UK-homologated Komodo version and the licence you hold.
If you're considering the Komodo L3e specifically for road use, check the bike's approved UK classification and your licence entitlement before buying.
Is the Talaria Komodo suitable for beginners?
For somebody completely new to powered two-wheelers, the Komodo would not automatically be our first recommendation.
A bike with 32kW peak power is a serious machine.
Talaria also offers smaller and less powerful bikes that may be easier for inexperienced riders to manage.
If you're uncertain, compare the Komodo with models such as the Talaria Sting Pro MX5 rather than choosing purely on maximum power.
For experienced riders, larger riders and people specifically looking for a more substantial full-size electric dirt bike, the Komodo becomes much more interesting.
Talaria Komodo vs Sur-Ron Ultra Bee
The Talaria Komodo vs Sur-Ron Ultra Bee is one of the most relevant comparisons for riders shopping in this part of the market.
Both are substantially bigger and more capable than lightweight electric dirt-bike platforms.
The Komodo has the advantage in headline claimed peak power, with Talaria quoting 32kW.
But maximum power alone doesn't decide which bike is better.
The useful comparison includes:
- power delivery
- weight and balance
- rider size
- suspension
- braking
- battery
- range
- handling
- parts availability
- servicing
- dealer support
- intended terrain
- price
If you're deciding between the two, compare the complete bikes rather than choosing only from their headline motor figures.
Talaria Komodo vs Talaria Sting Pro MX5
The Komodo and Sting Pro MX5 appeal to different riders.
The MX5 is smaller, lighter and less expensive.
The Komodo gives you a larger platform and substantially more claimed peak power.
If you want something lighter and more manageable, the MX5 deserves serious consideration.
If you're specifically looking for a larger and considerably more powerful Talaria, the Komodo is the natural step up.
Is the Talaria Komodo worth it?
At £5,199, the Komodo offers a considerable amount of performance for its price.
The more useful question, though, is whether you're actually going to benefit from what it offers.
The Komodo makes the most sense for riders who want a larger high-performance electric dirt bike and will genuinely use the stronger motor, full-size wheel setup and more substantial chassis.
If you primarily want a lighter bike for casual trail riding, something smaller may be a better fit and cost less.
If you want road use, look at the Komodo L3e rather than buying the TL6000 purely because it is cheaper.
Who should buy the Talaria Komodo?
The Komodo is particularly interesting if you:
want a full-size high-performance electric dirt bike;
want substantially more power than Talaria's smaller platforms;
ride on suitable private land, trails or tracks;
want strong acceleration and a large battery;
and have enough riding experience to use its performance responsibly.
If you're unsure whether that describes you, compare it against an MX5, Ultra Bee and other alternatives before deciding.
Where can I buy a Talaria Komodo in the UK?
MotoEbikes supplies the Talaria Komodo TL6000 from our Guildford, Surrey showroom.
You can speak to the team about current availability, finance, delivery, collection, rider suitability and alternative models before placing an order.

Talaria Komodo: the verdict
The Talaria Komodo is one of the more serious high-performance electric dirt bikes now available in the UK.
With 32kW peak power, up to 754Nm of torque, a 97.2V 45Ah battery, full-size 21/18-inch wheels and a current UK price of £5,199, the TL6000 offers a significant step up from Talaria's smaller machines.
But the most important decision isn't simply whether you want a Komodo.
It's which Komodo suits the way you ride.
Choose the TL6000 if you're looking for the dedicated off-road machine.
Look at the Komodo L3e if public-road use is part of your plan.
And if you're choosing between the Komodo, Ultra Bee, MX5 or another high-performance electric bike, speak to MotoEbikes and compare them according to your experience, size and intended use rather than choosing purely from the biggest specification number.
