If you can’t figure out how to work on proper technique, line choice, body positioning and shifting/using the clutch, you’re not practicing properly.
And ya that’s exactly what we need, bikes easier to ride…. We already have guys getting hurt trying stuff they shouldn’t be because the bikes allow for it, so we just make them even easier to ride for those guys…. Ya, this will end well.
As far as less maintenance goes, I don’t know about you guys, but the maintenance that makes it hard for people to afford riding is still there. It’s not oil changes and filters… it’s suspension services, tires, chains and sprockets.

Reading some of these posts reminds me of that time I tried mushrooms.
Reading some of these posts reminds me why REAL Jet Skis died. Yeah...we're talking about the ones you STOOD on...not the fat ass sit down ones everyone rides today.
REAL Jet Skis took SKILL.
In Europe the noise and the contamination with oil and gas is the big deal. A lot of tracks will stay open and old tracks reopen with electric bikes.
And to get back to topic: If you can charge it fast independently with your own car, you wouldn’t need new infrastructure at the track.
You could do a weekend long off road trip with this truck, a Stark and a trailer in the back and ride in place where it wasn’t possible before.
At races we share with each other , if we can, putting fuel in the quietist one .
Most of the tracks I go to are 200 miles each way. The lightning doesn’t have the range for that unloaded, let alone loaded, hit traffic, try to charge your freaking bike off the truck while at the track etc.
The range is still an issue on the trucks let alone to use it for extracurricular activities while at the track.
Yeah use it for ac or heat while you’re camping and see if you have any juice left to get home lmaooooo
Bring a generator or plug your lightning into the rv hookups to charge your truck and plug your dirtbike into the truck to charge your dirtbike, and plug your phone into the dirtbike to charge your phone. This shits idiotic.
None of that changes my opinion about electric bikes. They're coming, they ARE the future, and they'll either steamroll you or they'll liberate you. Your choice.
Electric bikes remind me of a kid on a scooter with a street bike helmet and flag. May as well have one of those squeeze horns on it. “Did you see me rip that turn and pin it to clear that table? Dude I was wrapped out going zzzzxxinnnnggggg” probably 80 mph but I don’t know, it doesn’t have gears to shift
I doesn't make any f*cking sense to me.

This is a pretty good overview of electricity use in the use and doesn't seem to have a political position in the mix. Lots of information here, some germane to the topic of this thread but mostly just where power is being used and where it is being generated. Ebikes would not appear to be even a small blip on the grid but Ecars are a growing use.
Electric dirt bikes aren’t supposed to save the planet, but to provide a better bike, the possibility to ride in places where noise is a problem and open up motocross to people with zero technical knowledge of ICEs (most fathers and kids these days).
Their only problem: fast and independent recharging. Any ideas in that direction?
You old heads can still practice once or twice a week after driving an hour. I will ride everyday after work close by and ill wax you when i show up to race on my dumb electric bike.
Electric bikes will not kill the sport. Loud bikes kill tracks.. Electric bikes make the sport more accessible than its ever been.

I’ll be using one of these, an extra smart battery and 1000W or so of solar panels to charge my VARG away from home. I’m already using one to run my travel trailer for off-grid boondocking. It even runs our 13,500 BTU AC unit.
As a bonus, they can also be used as a home backup power system during outages. When solar isn’t sufficient, it can be charged with a gas (or propane/dual fuel) generator.

you fail to understand the emx bike movement isn't really meant to be environmental as its more performance based in my eyes
when racing the stop watch doesn't care about being greener than the other bikes
edit: couple posts above beat me to it!
If we fix the noise issue, the douchebags will come after dust. If we fix noise and dust, they will come after the water use. If we fix the noise, dust, and use reclaimed water non-potable, they will find something else to come after us for - like soil erosion, or destroying plant matter, or some protected beetle. The issue isn't necessarily in what noise, dust, or water problem exists. Its that there is a certain percentage of people that don't want us doing what we love to do. And quite frankly, I hate those people. And I realize hate is a strong word. Sometimes its an accurate word to use. Just being straight up.
Nowadays, a hybrid saves $. My wife has a hybrid AWD SUV that’s averaged 43mpg over it’s lifetime. That’s a helluva lot of money saved when gas is over $6/gallon.
I have no dog in this fight: I was just throwing some Pick Up Truck options out there.
"Electric bikes will not kill the sport. Loud bikes kill tracks.. Electric bikes make the sport more accessible than its ever been."
Ah.... self delusion. It's a wonderful thing.
And one more thing: you cannot possibly think Magoo would've turned down the opportunity to thrash an electric motocross bike, right? I mean, we're talking Magoo, here. 80HP there at his wrist - he would've LOVED it.
