The the nearest track from me is an hr away. I can go and ride moto once or twice a week. Ive been thinking about getting an e-bike to ride around on my property and was wondering what e-bike besides a stark would be good for cross training?
Maybe a Surron Storm Bee or Ultra Bee. I think they are like a full size motorcycle. I own a Rawrr Mantis X. It's slightly smaller than a full size bike, but I only paid $3000 for it and it is pretty impressive as far as how fast it is and how much torque it has for the price. I'm pretty happy with it. I'm in the same boat as you, my nearest riding area is over an hour away, but I can ride my e-moto bike undetected in the vineyards and farmlands around my house. Something I can't do with my RM 250 due to the noise and snobby neighbors.
Awesome thanks for the info. I’ve got 2 1/2 acres to play around with but I’m surrounded by neighbors .
Do a conversion! Grab a rolling chassis and make it electric. That's what I did this year for racing. Trained on the emoto, raced on my 250F. I probably rode the conversion 10 times more than the 250F, but never felt like I missed a beat on the 4-stroke. It would take maybe a lap to adjust to the lower torque of the gas bike, then I was set again.
I'd be happy to give pointers or provide any other info if you're interested in doing one yourself.
thanks for your advice !

I have a custom built conversion, Surron Ultra Bee and Talaria MX4 (regular Surron size).
If you have room on your property for a “Full size” track, then a conversion, Storm Bee or Stark is nice because it’s a big and handles like a big bike. Plus you can ride them at a normal track.
If you don’t have the room for a full size track but want a bike that handles like a big bike, get the Ultra Bee or Talaria Komodo. They are a bit smaller but you could also trail ride because they are beasts on trails! (I ride my Ultra Bee the most)
If you really enjoy pitbikes and play bikes, get a MX5, E-ride 3.0 or even the E-ride SR.
