Why is it so dumb when it can out accelerate just about any gas dirt bike to 50 mph, probably even yours??

that doesn' make noise so u can hide from cops !!

Besides, give electric a break. We're in the intro stages of technology of electric where internal combustion was R&D for over 100 years like you've stated. Once modest improvements of batteries comes present, it will rewrite motorcycle and other EV performance history. Massive torque can't be matched up with gas. Simplicity is great eliminating tranny and engine parts. Carol Shelby now working on the world's fastest production car, electric. And yes, I might get one.

Electric motors have only 1 moving part (sometimes 2) whereas gas engines have 100s of moving parts. 1 error part of a gas motor can lead to catastrophic consequences of needing a complete engine overhaul.  Plus they don't need multiple spd tranny. Granted electric doesn't pair up with gas at the current time however, I simple improvement of the batteries will defeat gas power in about every catagory. Electric will win all those races 5 years from now GUARANTEED.

@jetmanrun but if it's so much better? why dont you buy one? but after all its the rider that makes the difference, but it's the batteries inconvenience that will make you lose. also if they are so much better, then why do no professional riders use it in supercoss, motocross, endurocross, or anything for that matter? (because they are flimsy pieces of crap)

[mgpBLARG]

@jetmanrun you know how i know? because i can logically deduce this because the LiPo battery will never store as much energy as a large tank of gas. i will admit that advances in LiPo battery technology have continually grown over the past many years, they are still not close to being up to par with todays digital fuel injected dirtbikes. We have been advancing the internal combustion for over 100 years, while the electric powered vehicle has been sitting in shadows. electric WILL trump gas.

Racing will last about 45 min to 1 hour. Casual riding is around 2 hours. Recharging takes 4 hours, unless if you have a 2nd battery ready to go. How did you come up with your made up exaggerated figures? Please get the facts before stating. Electric trumps gas, repeat after me, electric-trumps-gas Thankyou.

[mgpBLARG]

the problem is that you get to rid for 20 minutes (at most), then you have to charge it all night, or you can spend thousands and get a more overpriced batteries so you can ride a few more minutes. electric is a huge inconvenience. gas is better in every way for motocross.

i'll buy it when it can launch the glen helen step up

@Towlieee this is true
