The show is lame. Their put a e-motorcycle against a YZ250F.

Any of your friends or family that see this show and knows nothing about moto are going to tell you that your gas bike is on it’s way out.

There were 4 test. Jumping (who jumped the farthest. Top speed, a time trial on a single track trail and a hill climb, fastest to the top).

The gas bike won 3 out of 4. It lost on the single track. The funny thing about it is that their never race the bikes together at the same time. So I doubt that the e-bike won the challenge that it did.

Just to let you know how lame this show was, in the jumping contest the 250F jumped over a table top and went a whole 33 feet.

It was green propaganda . With them using word like “loud” and “smelly”.

It was funny to see the e-bike guys at the last challenge cupping their ears when the 250F lined up at the start.

It make you wonder when you watch something on TV and you know nothing about the topic and you think how good of show it was but to the people in the know (about the topic) that watch that same show it is a joke.

That is what this show is. (there was the same show right after that had a ATV challenge).

Did you happen to check to Producing company, or sponsors ?


It was (I'm sure) environmentalist production.

Thanx for the heads up !

No, I did not notice but I did see something about a new green network.

Sad part is some people will believe what they see bc it's on TV.

Tv is funny like that , whoever sponsors the program , gets the facts they want out, out . haha
You said it man, its a joke!
I guess thats why info-mmercials still exist. If you dont know anything about whats inside, a nice wrapping on a box will make you think whats inside isnt a giant turd sandwich.

I missed the show. I like the whole green approach, I just can't stand the ppl that promote it sometimes. Many times these are the tree huggers that make our lives miserable. haha

I can just picture what u described with them holding their ears around the 250f . I 'd like to see how they would react in the factory that produces all the components of the electric batteries, and what not, that goes into these "Green" products.
Holding your ears is a lot easier than protecting your self from a chemical burn , or breathing in some of the toxic chemicals used in production. LOL
