THE DIRT PACK
Nine years of covering electric two-wheelers teaches you a lot. It teaches you which technologies are here to stay, which brands mean business, and which segments of the market are quietly becoming something extraordinary.
At THE PACK, that segment has always been
electric off-road: motocross, enduro, and motortrial. We have covered it, followed it, and championed it from the beginning.
Today, our off-road category counts more than 300 published articles, making it one of the most informative archives of electric off-road motorcycle coverage in Europe. But after nine years of reporting on this world, we decided it was time to stop watching from the sidelines and get our wheels dirty.
That is why we are launching THE DIRT PACK.
What is THE DIRT PACK?
THE DIRT PACK is a dedicated test review format (and new category) within THE PACK: a premium content series built entirely around real-world electric off-road testing. Not spec sheets. Not press releases. Actual rides, on actual terrain, with an experienced enduro and motocross test rider behind the bars.
Every THE DIRT PACK review includes a full test ride day at a relevant off-road location, photography, a long-form review article published on THE PACK, and full cross-promotion across all THE PACK social media channels.
Racing is proving the point
Electric off-road motorcycles are no longer just an alternative to combustion – they are winning on the same stages. In recent seasons, electric machines have made their presence felt across hard enduro championships, motocross events and motortrial competitions, with results that have forced even the most sceptical observers to pay attention.
Stark Future has demonstrated what an electric enduro motorbike can do against the best in the world.
Electric Motion and
Honda continue to push the boundaries of what is possible in trial competition.
The racing results are no longer a footnote – they are the headline. For brands competing in this space, the message is clear: the performance argument has been won on the track. What comes next is winning it in the media. THE DIRT PACK is here for that part.

2. Gear, clothing and accessories, tell your story
THE DIRT PACK is not only a platform for electric off-road motorcycle manufacturers. It is also an opportunity for the brands that surround the rider: helmet and clothing manufacturers, protection gear specialists, luggage and accessory suppliers, and everything in between.
Electric off-road riding is a complete ecosystem, and the riders who follow THE DIRT PACK are exactly the audience that gear brands want to reach. Suppliers can publish their story on THE PACK as premium sponsored content, a dedicated article that goes beyond a product listing and tells the brand story in a way that resonates with a passionate, engaged readership.
Whether you produce enduro boots, after-market parts, adventure helmets, off-road protection, hydration systems or any other product that belongs on or around an electric off-road bike, there is a place for you in THE DIRT PACK. The format is straightforward: we write it together, we publish it on THE PACK, and we promote it across all THE PACK social media channels. More info and prices?
