You’re missing my point. Adding a clutch and gears would be more akin to adding an extra button you had to push on a gas bike to allow you to shift, it’s totally unnecessary and serves no purpose besides making things difficult. I’m a two stroke guy through and through and the few times I was lucky enough to ride an Alta not one time did I want a clutch, and I sure as hell didn’t want to be bothered with shifting. Two strokes are fun because they’re light and you can throw them around, nobody likes shifting 5 feet...

Because any decent rider wants to go as fast as they can around a track. There's no reason why an E-bike needs gears and a clutch, it's more complexity, more things to go wrong (i.e. DNFs), added cost, and reduced efficiency. You can call it a kids toy all you want but when someone comes blowing by you out of a corner on one as you shift up a gear you'll be eating your words pretty quickly. Teslas don't have gears for a reason. This argument is so stupid I can't even believe it keeps coming up, why the hell...

6/17/2019 12:40pm OldTiddler, track for the MXGP was very good for racing action. No you will not have much of a view except for what is right in front or you will see the table top's... hopefully they will install large video screens through out the complex, for instant replay & better viewing of critical events(Starts & Finish, etc...)...... Last years MXGP...
