Win the 2025 Rawrr Mantis X Pro E-Moto — TCGM 2026 Tech Tour Giveaway

What you're looking at

The Mantis X Pro sits at the top of Rawrr's Mantis line, and the spec sheet explains why it gets talked about. Peak output is 15,000 watts — 5,000 nominal — from a PMSM motor fed by a 72V 50S lithium pack rated at 2,520 Wh. Rawrr claims 0–30 mph in 2.6 seconds and a top speed north of 65. The frame is 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum, there's 200mm of travel up front and 70mm at the rear, 220mm four-piston hydraulic discs at both ends, and the whole thing weighs 158.5 lb with the battery installed.

That last number is the one that matters. Roughly twenty horsepower peak in a 158-pound chassis puts the power-to-weight in genuine dirt-bike territory — the same neighbourhood as a small-bore four-stroke, minus the top-end rebuilds, the jetting, the kickstarter, and the noise that gets trails closed.

What makes this one interesting isn't the spec sheet, though. TCGM — Tower Climbing Grease Monkeys, an apparel and gear outfit built by and for wind turbine technicians — is taking the bike on the road for its 2026 Tech Tour, and the bike being given away is that bike. Not one like it. The rules are unusually direct about it: the prize is "the actual Rawrr Mantis X Pro traveling with TCGM during the 2026 Tech Tour."

Why it matters

The budget e-moto segment has spent three years being mostly marketing, with claimed wattage figures that evaporate under load and battery packs that sag to nothing on the second lap. The X Pro is one of the units that actually reads honestly on paper — a 2,520 Wh pack is real capacity, not a 48V toy, and 15 kW peak through a proper PMSM rather than a hub motor means the mass sits low and central instead of out in the rear wheel. It rides like a motorcycle because it's built like one.

Be realistic about the claims, though. The "up to 62 miles" figure is an Eco-mode number, and Eco mode on a bike like this is a different vehicle entirely — ride it in Race mode the way a demo bike gets ridden and you will see a meaningful fraction of that. It is also emphatically not street legal. TCGM says so on the page and the rules repeat it: off-road use only, never manufactured for public roads, and registration, permits, licensing and insurance land on the winner. If you don't have trails, private land, or an OHV area within reach, this is a very fast thing to look at in your garage.

The other honest caveat is condition, and it's the headline one — see below.

The fine print worth knowing

You are winning a used bike, and TCGM says so in writing. This is the term that changes what the prize actually is, and it appears nowhere in the marketing. From the rules: "The bike may receive limited demonstration and test use by technicians and other authorized participants at select tour stops. As a result, the prize will not be delivered as a new, unused or factory-sealed vehicle. The winner should expect reasonable mileage, wear or cosmetic signs of use consistent with its role as a tour and demonstration bike." It is awarded in whatever condition it's in when the tour ends, "subject to any applicable manufacturer warranty that remains in effect, if any" — so factory coverage may or may not survive the tour. In plain numbers: the rules quote a retail price of about $3,899, and they also state that the "actual fair market value of the prize at the time it is awarded may be lower due to the limited demo use," and that "Any difference between the stated approximate retail value and the actual fair market value of the prize will not be awarded in cash." There's no cash alternative at all — the rules say flatly, "No cash alternative is available." None of this is a gotcha; it's a small operator being specific about a demo unit instead of implying a crated bike. It's just specific in the rules and silent on the page.

Free, genuinely. There is no paid entry route here at all — nothing to buy, no entry packages, no bonus-entry ladder. Two ways in: scan the QR code at an official 2026 Tech Tour stop, or fill in the online form on TCGM's giveaway page. One entry per person across both methods for the whole promotion, and the rules spell out that buying merch or engaging on social does not improve your odds.

Dates and the response window. Entries opened at 12:00:00 AM MT on September 1, 2026 and close at 11:59:59 PM MT on November 30, 2026, with a random drawing after that and a winner announcement expected on or about December 7. If you're picked, you have three business days from first contact to respond — that's a short leash, so use an inbox you actually read.

Eligibility and taxes. US residents and DC, 18+ and of majority age in your state. Rhode Island is excluded and the giveaway is void there. Federal, state and local taxes on the prize are the winner's responsibility, and the sponsor may issue whatever tax reporting form the law requires. Delivery is on TCGM — they'll either drive it to you if you're within about a day's drive, or arrange standard shipping, and they cover that cost. Everything after it lands — storage, transport, registration, insurance — is yours.

Who's actually running it. The sponsor and administrator are the same entity, TCGM, LLC of Gunnison, Utah; it's self-administered with no third-party administrator, and Utah law governs. Worth noting that the rules state plainly, "Rawrr Inc. is not a sponsor or administrator of this Giveaway" — the bike is the prize, not a manufacturer partnership.
