No offense, but the stunta video was like any other supermotojunkie...Boring, usual wheelies and stoppies with the occasional burnouts.

Could you please post a video of it at a MX track?

Ah shit. It was up for a minute and then Youtube had some kind of hiccup and dropped it. I'm re-uploading now and will edit the post above when it's done. Sorry about that.

My guess is that he got his peepee slapped for prematurely posting the video that he put up and took down almost immediately.

I would love to have a bike like this that performs well, and I like the idea of electric power also. There's so many places I could ride a bike like this undetected around where I live. I would never be able to ride in these places with a gas powered MX bike. It would be a blast.

Same here! As soon as a electric MX-bike is comparable to a gas-bike in terms of durability and solidity i will definitly buy one to ride here in my area. Not too much noise, no oil, no gas ... the treehuggers wont find anything to prevent me from riding in the backyard.
Keep smoking that crack. The tree huggers will still do everything in their power to get you out. If you don't believe me ask the mountain bike crowd. .

Pffft, I'm the head honcho. The only one to slap my peepee is me.

Here you go. Turns out record companies really care about "music" and "ownership" and "theft."

Good deal. I'm looking forward to seeing a full length video of the bike on the track - no music or slow motion, just a look at what the bike can do. Good luck dude!

Looks good, despite the small amount of footage. Any chance of that video without the music? Wouldn't mind hearing an electric bike on dirt

EDIT: extended version

Cool bike, suspension looks like it isn't holding up too well to just those small jumps...but what the hell do I know.

Can we get more footage of it on track?

Ha, no you're spot on. Suspension was soft for this session. The footage is a bit old... this was an early prototype frame that actually wasn't designed to take big hits, and we were really just out there to verify the chassis geometry before we moved to the next round of pre-production bikes. The bike flew straight and handled exactly as we'd hoped, and we're now in the middle of building the next round of bikes. Expect MUCH more moto, but not until Summer. We've got the power and the handling to hit triples; these next bikes will have the strength.

On noise, it was tough to get clean sound out at an open track because it gets drowned out by the 4 strokes. I'll try to get some dyno run footage out in the near future... it sounds like a turbine engine spinning up.
