    Raced the "Support" class with the SoCal OTMX club this past weekend at Cahuilla Creek MX on the Vet Track. Its always a lot of fun showing the potential of electric! Enjoy.

      No way! Silence is perfect you can hear your suspension and geometry shift and change. You can hear when you've got traction. So many benefits you aren't thinking of until you ride an electric bike for a good long while?
      I'm from your era so I get it. I love this new 2 stroke revival the world is seeing!
      But when people are stuck at home. They can't go anywhere during lock down let alone ride 3 fkn hours just to ride bikes so they don't annoy non bike riders! It's crazy but it's a reality that my friends are facing!
      They are all chipping in to buy a property out in the sticks for hundreds of thousands of dollars just to solve the problem haha.
      I see this as the ultimate. They are not at all intimidating to anyone. In fact you get old people inquisitive and asking about them?
      Ask people if you can ride on their land? Give them a ride and probably make an instant riding buddy and before long a silent army having lots of fun and nobody knows or cares?
      I love a 2 stroke but a card in the spokes C'mon that's silly

    What a spectacular race! I don't have any electric motorcycles. Though I do have a local commuting E-scooter with a 5600 watt dual wheel hub motor system and I've generally been very impressed with the torque on these motors. It's almost absurd how efficient they are. Mine goes fast enough that I essentially ride it like a motor bike. Seeing as how it's kinda risky to stand on it when it's at full speed. But taking it off road has been a breeze. It's a shame that harley killed the Alta. They had so much potential.

      @@pablogonzalezhermosilla4210 Para nada, pero lo que me molesta es que nos estan vendiendo esto de que los coches, motos etc eléctricos van a salvar el planeta y q nos compremos todos un eléctrico, cuándo la realidad es que la mayor parte de esa energía viene de centrales nucleares, térmicas etc.
      Te pongo un ejemplo, Francia: El país con más coches eléctricos en proporcion de poblacion de toda Europa, pero también es el país con más centrales nucleáres, casualidad no lo creo. Lo único q estan haciendo vendiendo a toda costa el producto "Eco" es causar una falta de energía global lo que origina más demanda de la mísma y por consecuencia la subida de los precios de la luz que en la actualidad ya es estratosférica.
      Primero que se preocupen de poder soportar semejante demanda eléctrica y sobre todo q esta venga de energías renovables y luego ya que nos vendan lo que quieran pero que nos nos hagan pagar vehículos de un alto coste y encima nos mientan.

    • @bwhaskell
      @bwhaskell  Před rokem +65

      This bike produces 50hp and 42ftlb of torque at the rear wheel. Battery range depends on many factors like how fast of a rider is on the bike, the type of riding, the dirt condition, etc. In this video i did a 18min+1 lap starting with a full charge and you can see i had about 25% left when i finished. On slower, tighter tracks i can ride longer. This range is plenty for most people as after 20 minutes of pushing hard, most riders are physically tired anyway. Recharging from 25%-100% takes about 75min. Its really not that bad at all. By the time the bike is recharged, im rested and ready to ride another hard moto.
