We want to build a pit bike track on our property. I currently ride a KX450F but we don't have the room on the property for that but do have enough to make a fun pit bike track. We don't have a noise ordinance but at minimum, I think an electronic pit bike would be great for him and if there is a setup that would work for me (6', 200 lbs) that would be great. Worst case scenario and I get a gasser for me but I'd love to hear what options are out there. Thanks!
YCF has one of the better ePitbike offerings out there imo.
The W88E is built off their gas version and is quite fun.
Has decent suspension and brakes that should make it decent for dad as well.
The chain line does have room for improvement though as it wears out chain sliders quickly. The chain tensioner is also noisey until under power.
Hope that helps!

Are these ycf bikes built well? Compared to the typical jap or Austrian brands. I don't have interest in cheap Chinese built piles
No idea, we went to a track a few months ago and my son got hooked so I bought a new 450 and he got a new 250 and we're hitting the tracks 2x a week. The pit bike track hasn't been used in a few months so it was kind of a waste but I didn't know he'd be into legit moto when we built it. I may take all the dirt from those jumps and berms and build one big landing and then weld a freestyle jump as I think that would get a lot more use on our property.
I beat the hell out of mine and it keeps on going, but I also have as much fun doing mods to it and just working on things in general. Best $2600 I spent in a while but of course I have spent a lot more on other stuff for it. Best part about the YCF bigy models is I am not cramped riding it, about the same ride height as my 78 yz125 was
If you’re looking for electric bikes, the eBox 2.0 is fun.
