WattRyd Reviews the Globalkeep Solei-X8

A $900 Electric Dirt Bike That Delivers Serious Performance

The Globalkeep Solei-X8 has officially arrived, and electric bike reviewer WattRyd put it through a complete real-world performance test. From range testing and top speed runs to hill climbing, jumping, and wheelie capability, the Solei-X8 was pushed to its limits to see what this affordable electric dirt bike can really do.

After extensive testing, WattRyd found that the Solei-X8 delivers an impressive combination of power, style, and versatility at a price point that is difficult to match.

First Impressions: A Premium Look at an Affordable Price

The Globalkeep Solei-X8 is positioned as an upgraded version of the popular K6 Mini, bringing a refreshed design and improved riding experience.

WattRyd tested the red version with matching red rims and rear suspension accents, giving the bike a bold and aggressive look. The Solei-X8 is also available in a white color option, with both versions priced around $900.

According to WattRyd, the Solei-X8 looks far more expensive than its actual price. The bike features a modern electric dirt bike-inspired design, including:

Dirt bike style frame design
Half seat configuration
Updated front plate design
Integrated front headlight
Rear fender
Sporty graphics and styling

One thing WattRyd highlighted was how Globalkeep continues improving the appearance of its bikes based on what riders actually want, reducing the need for expensive aftermarket upgrades.

Real-World Range Test: Nearly 30 Miles on Full Throttle

To test the true battery performance, WattRyd created a demanding range test.

The testing conditions were designed to simulate realistic aggressive riding:

Battery charged to 100%
Highest power mode (Mode 3)
No pedaling assistance
Continuous throttle riding

The route included hills, gravel roads, and mixed terrain to replicate everyday riding conditions.

The final result:

Tested Range: 29.2 Miles (approximately 47 km)

WattRyd described this as one of the longest range results they have achieved on the channel.

During the test:

The bike maintained strong power output for most of the ride
Slight performance reduction appeared after around 22 miles
The battery fully depleted after nearly 30 miles

The entire ride lasted close to:

2 hours of continuous full-throttle riding

WattRyd pointed out that for an electric dirt bike designed for fun, trails, and recreational riding, a 30-mile range is more than enough for most riders.

Top Speed Test: 34 MPH Performance

After completing the range test, WattRyd fully recharged the Solei-X8 and tested its maximum speed.

The result:

Maximum Speed: 34 MPH (approximately 55 km/h)

Although the official listed speed is 25 MPH, WattRyd discovered that the Solei-X8 has significantly more performance potential.

Even after riding nearly 20 miles, the bike continued delivering strong acceleration and consistent motor power.

WattRyd praised the battery performance and noted that the bike maintained impressive output throughout the test.

Riding Experience: A Fun Balance Between Street and Trail

The Solei-X8 comes equipped with 16-inch tires designed for mixed riding conditions.

WattRyd described the tires as a balanced dual-purpose setup:

More aggressive than standard street tires
Less extreme than full off-road knobby tires
Suitable for both pavement and light trails

During gravel road testing, the suspension system performed well, absorbing bumps and keeping the ride smooth.

WattRyd commented that the bike felt stable and enjoyable on rough surfaces.

For extreme off-road riding, larger tires would provide additional capability, but for everyday adventure riding, the Solei-X8 performs very well.

Hill Climbing Test: Tackling 25–30 Degree Slopes

One of the biggest tests was climbing a steep hill estimated at:

25–30 degrees of incline

The Solei-X8 successfully completed the climb.

The bike’s performance comes from:

Powerful motor output
Strong torque delivery
Lightweight frame design

WattRyd was impressed that a bike in the $900 price range could handle such demanding terrain.

Jump Test: Built for More Than Just Street Riding

To test the bike’s durability, WattRyd built a custom jump ramp and pushed the Solei-X8 through multiple jumps.

The results:

The bike handled repeated jumps successfully
The frame remained stable
The suspension performed well

WattRyd noted that although the Solei-X8 is compact, it still provides enough strength and power for riders who want a more exciting experience.

Wheelie Test: Plenty of Power for Tricks

The final performance test focused on wheelies.

Thanks to its:

Strong motor power
Lightweight design
Balanced weight distribution

The Solei-X8 was able to lift the front wheel easily and perform wheelies.

WattRyd considered the bike surprisingly capable for tricks and playful riding.

Final Verdict: One of the Best Budget Electric Dirt Bikes Available

After completing every test, WattRyd summarized the Globalkeep Solei-X8 as an extremely fun and capable electric dirt bike.

Performance Results:

Price: Around $900
Range: 29.2 miles
Top Speed: 34 MPH
Hill Climbing: 25–30° incline
Jump Capability: Yes
Wheelies: Yes

WattRyd believes the Solei-X8 offers a riding experience that previously required spending over $2,000.

A few years ago, finding an electric dirt bike with this level of performance, speed, and design at this price point was nearly impossible. Today, the Solei-X8 brings that experience to more riders.

Who Is the Globalkeep Solei-X8 For?

The Solei-X8 is ideal for:

First-time electric dirt bike riders
Teen and young adult riders
Weekend adventure riders
Urban riders looking for excitement
Anyone wanting a dirt bike-style e-bike without spending thousands

With its combination of speed, range, aggressive styling, and affordable price, the Globalkeep Solei-X8 proves that high-performance electric riding does not have to come with a premium price tag.
