Which budget e-dirt bike feels closest to a full-size ride?

I've been eyeing a few of the cheaper e-dirt bikes like the Segway X260, RFN Ares, and even some of the Alibaba imports. My main question is which of these actually feels closest to riding a full-size dirt bike? I'm not expecting KTM-level power, but I'd like something that doesn't feel like a toy once you're out on trails or even a bit of open terrain. I hear mixed things... some say the Rawrr Mantis is surprisingly solid, others say you need to start modding right away for it to feel real. For those who've actually ridden these or tested ones, which budget bike gave you the closest full-size experience out of the box?
 
I ride a Tuttio and I ride it hard, so far nothing has broken on it, held up fairly well. I trail ride it too on my families ranch.
 
Been riding the RFN Ares on Mojave trails for a few months and it feels the most like a full-size bike right away. I was surprised that the ride is smooth and the power comes on nice, but I changed the bars and foot pegs early. Have you sat on one to see how it feels?
 
I’m looking to get my first e-dirt bike and saw the Ares recently. Did the stock bars feel too low or stiff for trail riding? And what kind of pegs did you switch to? More grip or wider platform?
