touch the 'trottle'

:D

dude, you're like interviewing everyone!

I am from the ministry of silly modes. LOL

Ok sir, well done indeed. I am jealous of your logo. What an awesome idea. It is nice to finally be appreciated, is it not ? Keep up the great work friend.

I have owned about 20 dirt bikes and I have destroyed them all. I built a electic dirt bike and I love it. Coming from me - I truely believe it's so much better to have electric. For many reasons. My bike throttle is a 1000 amp knife switch , it's full speed or nothing. 100% torque right of the hop. No need for clutches, oil, gas, blown pistons, oh yeah, I recharge my bike with 780 watts of solar panels! Free unlimited dangerous clean fun

Completely agree with you MikeAirOne. Fossil fuels will run out eventually so the progress of alternative fuels is vital

Hawaiiii - great. But u as a Hawaian, knowing the upheating of the planet will destroy your beautiful island somewhen if nothing changes... I`m in Germany at 600meters above zero level - I can sit it out ;o) - AND: my R6 is everything to me right now! But I don`t understand hating electrical. It`s a good way to keep pollution down especially for cars...Every second driver uses his car only to shop, go to work and bring the kids to school. Therefor electrical would be all u need I think.

mm, yeah, I guess youre right about the prototypes. and torque is not only instantaneous but also constant, so thats good too. but yeah. I live in hawaii and we're in desperate need of looking into self-sustainability seeing how we're in the middle of nowhere and if the ships stop cominggg...yeah, we're shit out of luck. but I can see why guys like gasoline engines. the sound, the feel.

[MikeAirOne]

ok I can live with that statement ;o) But nowadays Prototypes are mostly simulated ones and the first test-operating units are close-to-production. I read so many negative comments about electrical Bikes and stuff, I don`t understand why people hate those things so much...The torque is great and sooner or later we will all drive electrical (and maybe fly too). Look at "UnionPaificRules" comment...no comment...he`s a pussy in his head...he`s afraid that things change...

[Sven0228]

sure there's always the chance of mechanical failure, and that goes for both gas and electric. Im just simply saying that as of now, we dont have the technology for planes. How do we advance technology? prototypes. would you like to be in an early-stage electric plane when the technicians realize that the batteries arent powerful enough to sustain flight for a sufficient amount of time to maybe even just land the thing? but dont get me wrong, I do think we need to look into alternative energy.

[MikeAirOne]

@Sven0228: You mean you never heard of a gas-motor that collapsed in flight? You people are so ignorant...If the technology gets equal to gasoline-Bikes you guys will change your mind. And you will have to...I drive a R6 myself but I`m aware that things will change. And it will with or without us. I think you know that. Let`s have fun with gas till your money won`t last to eat AND drive. See how that will change your opinion...I won`t buy one now...just that we`re talking clearly...

[UnionPacificRules]

Who cares!!! if you wunna ride a dirt bike u get a real dirt bike...u cant ride this thing on a track...ud get murdered!
