      i thought of that too.
      with so much torque and horse power that bike could be more risky or dangerous. with such little sound it makes the rider less able to judge how fast going without loud engine roarin. also, even more likely it could be more risky to something like another rider or person walking or in another vehicle not hearing the super fast electric bike zooming up on them etc

    I grew up on 2-Strokes, was an early adopter to 4-strokes, and now I am all about the electric bikes. They're fun, reliable, fast, very easy to customize the power, and you're not pissing nearly as many people off. I'm always going to love a gas motor but I don't think there's any denying the many benefits of electric bikes. It's just a matter of time before they start winning Supercross.

    The Stark is being pushed hard with lots of publicity lately, but everyone talks like the thing is never going to break. The electric motor or drivetrain must get trashed eventually with 80HP. How much is a new motor for one of these? How much is a spare battery.
    It must eat tyres, brakes and chain/sprockets. Stark is only a smallish outfit so i imagine parts might be hard to get and expensive if you damage anything.
    I live in the UK and many tracks are closed. They use the noise excuse, but the main reason is that as soon as a bit of real estate is built near a track, whoever ends up living there don't want a motocross track nearby. Even if it was electric bikes only track, the people living there will always find a reason to stop it. It's got more to do with greed and real estate values than anything.
    An old motocross track in the middle nowhere soon becomes valuable building land when they start building property nearby.
    What makes more money for the greed machine?, a local motocross track or a plot that you can build a load of houses on, sell them for millions and tax the hell out of the people that live in them? The tracks lose every time.
    The current agenda is working on everyone not owning anything or having any fun at all, electric or otherwise.
    The UK authorities hate dirtbikes and anyone of any age out riding a dirtbike or old motorcycle on some wasteland is considered a criminal. They are working really hard in the UK to stop folks having fun, especially on dirtbikes and Sur ron type bikes.
    They will seize your bike and crush it if you get caught more than once.
    You wouldn't like it here Kap. Just ripping up and down the road outside your yard like you are in this video would get the police straight on your case. They would charge you for no tax, no insurance, no MOT, no licence plate and any other other offences they can think of....it's shit. You can't even take a young child out somewhere quiet on a Yamaha PW50 without someone moaning or calling the police. It has happened many times to me and my friends children over the years. I got an ASBO warning at 40 years old, just for being on an old abandoned airfield with the kids playing on PW50s and pitbikes. The 3 and 7 year old kids could never understand why the police were stopping them having some family fun. This in turn breeds a dislike for authority in children from a very early age. It's messed up here where dirtbikes are concerned. They hate any dirtbikes, electric or otherwise. Unless you are into club motocross or enduro stuff, you are considered a criminal. Just like some parts of America, the UK was once a great place to be, but that is now long gone.
    I want to come and work for you!!😊.

      @@_-gh0st-_ Appreciate the comment. The UK is way smaller than the US and like i said, dirtbikes are a way of life in your country and have been for many years. It's not the same in the UK. I do still ride my dirtbikes and i have a really nice and pretty tricked out '94 Honda XR600 to play on. I also have a custom Kawasaki W800 that has been given the old 60's Triumph/BSA scrambler treatment. These are my babies!
      We do have the UK bike life scene here which is similar to the US bikelife scene but much smaller, which is usually small groups of people on MX bikes ripping up the towns and cities and there's plenty of youtube footage of the UK bikelife scene. These groups never last long though and most of them get caught in the end due to the police going after them hard with all their resources including helicopters if need be. It's strange because in the UK if you are the victim of any other crime, the police are nowhere to be seen and tell you they haven't got the resources or evidence. The police here also seem to look after the child molesters rather than punish them. That what happens when most of the powerful people in government, police and authorities are paedophiles themselves. It's been shit here since the eighties as far as motorcycle culture and the acceptance of dirtbikes goes. I was born in the wrong country🙁

      @@_-gh0st-_ Greed and corruption is everywhere and when you look into it, it's the same people at the top of it in the US and the UK. George Bush and Tony Blair are a good example. Both should be rotting in jail but its quite the opposite.
      I used to have an 1990 XR250 and remember struggling to get a decent header for it. XR400 and XR600 stuff is easier to find over here. I had the header for my XR600 made by a guy in Greece and he sent it to the UK. It was about £150, which is around $200. I would have thought FMF or XRs Only would stock a header for your bike. I've bought stuff from XRs only in the past but the import taxes from US to UK are seriously expensive. If you did find a cheap header pipe in the UK, the import taxes would probably be too expensive to make it worthwhile. Ebay is the best source of XR parts for me in the UK, but you probably have better XR parts sources in USA.
      If your XR250 is 1997 or later, i think an XR400 header might fit it if you can get one of those. I'm not 100% on that though, but I've heard that it fits the 250.

I will ride my two stroke 250 for as long as I can. It would be terrible if all riding and supercross became electric. It would be even worse if we ALLOW it to happen. Look at Formula 1. They have an electric series and the gas series. The electric one is no where near as popular as the gas one. I am sure these electric bikes have a lot of power. The problem is in supercross the bikes already have too much power. There is no need for more power.

    E Bikes, I admit I dont know much about them, also the idea just kind of makes my blood run the opposite direction, But I am warming up to them, still would like the motors to look * more like gas motors ( maybe impossible to do that ) and able to modify/improve them with bolt on parts like traditional Dirt Bikes. But ,more choices of power sports toys cant go wrong with that.
    Wish list, regarding this E Bike 1. Put it on a Dyno 2. Use this motor to Build an ATC 3 wheeler with extended swing arm and paddle tires take it to Glamis.
    By the way awesome video.

Years went by and i rode a lot of bikes my 1990 kx 500 i bought new best bike i ever had. The only problem i had with the 500 was i exploded the clutch basket. Because of the aluminum centers in the basket. Now im riding electric and youre right they are the future i told people that a long time ago. No gas on your hands no fumes to smell.

    @craighoffman6876 Před 6 měsíci

    If the battery range wasn't an issue, the Varg could be the ultimate mountain snow bike, as high elevation doesn't affect it, and it has stupid power. I rented a KTM 450 SX snow bike in Vail, elevation was 10K and up. That poor rental got ridden like a rental, it was pinned a lot as we were in deep powder, if ya tipped over you were pretty much chest deep and screwed! It was super fun, but that poor 450 was under a lot of stress, there is no way I'd bolt a snow bike conversion onto a machine I care about 😆
    We also rented a Polaris 800 powder sled, even at 11K elevation, the power that 2 stroke twin put out was of the insane eye flattening ski lifting variety - absolutely bonkers. If ya want a silly amount of power in a compact package, look to the snowmobile world...
