Anybody talking about environment and climate change in an electric dirtbike discussion is is completely missing the point. The opportunity with electric bikes is less noise. And it will be a big impact. As far as the transition, it's already happening. You go to a track and you see all the kids on Stacycs and electric KTMs. Will it take some time yes but it'll be faster than you think. And it will grow this sport big time.

Heck guys, electric? If we’re going to abandon our fossil fuels we should at least be considering clean burning propane.

Eventually there will be a rider on the electric bikes that will wow us like bubba and rc did and change the sport again.

4/11/2021 7:42pm I agree, I also know from experience that some younger riders are scared by the noise of a bike when they start. I personally was terrified of them until I was 10 or so. Had they been electric that may not have been the case. Could get more kids involved, just a thought

'Car nerds' were very negative over double-clutch/auto boxes also, as they had learned so well to 'manual shift', it was an art, it's cheating that someone can drive faster where the computer does the shifting... well, this was 10-15years ago, now only old people want to be seen in a 'back in the days manual shifter', all super fast cars have F1 inspired boxes... Electric MX will come, you won't have to shift, but most likely they will leave the smokers in the dust one day... but the same people will be the fastest, those who spend endless of hours...

The deal / co-operation between Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki , Kawasaki, KTM and Piaggio ( and, I'd be surprised to Not see others join in), with regards to battery standardisation, is going to be a Big, BIG factor in E bikes.

A time will come when we have electric trucks that can charge our electric bikes. Of course we will miss the ICE noises and smells, but this will grow the sport. The maintenance is much less intense and low risk; no top end rebuilds, no air filters, no oil changes. This makes it more attractive to new riders. As long as the bike is as light as current models and I can go do two 35 minute motos, I’m happy. I think manufacturers will slowly build up from the little bikes. Kids don’t have the nostalgia, and parents who don’t...

4/10/2021 10:58pm That may be one of the smartest, most well written answers I've read on this site! Lol Somehow I totally get what your saying, I feel the same way about the excitement and feel of an IC engine and there is a nostalgic sense to that. However I'm all for progression and have become very concerned with the environment as...

10/31/2019 1:06pm Has anyone else noticed the steering feels off on PS4 after the update? I seem to be over steering every corner and it just feels like the bike/rider move slower side to side.

Absolutely what is old is new as they say, I loved seeing this stuff when it was new let alone being able to see "retro" remakes later on in life. As far as im concerned I hope the "90's" hangs around for a little while

10/5/2019 8:26pm Ya fair enough. I will say it's nice to see a pro running a lower price point helmet just to give consumers a little more confidence in the safety of the lower priced helmets. I just find it a very unappealing lid, kind of ruins his kit.

10/5/2019 8:23pm It seems like retro is the new theme. Look at O'Neal and Thor's recent releases. In my opinion of love to see all the gear companies bring back some retro vibes!
Potsy3 Started a new thread Roczen's V2
10/5/2019 8:20pm Is it just me or is Roczen's V2 ugly AF. I don't understand why he's running that helmet, I think the V3 is a lot sleeker and lighter looking. The V2 looks like he has a pumpkin on his head.

People have this habit of giving me helmets to paint, my neighbor just gave me one and said I could do whatever I want with it. I have more fun replicating old designs than coming up with my own, so I figured I would start a poll. These are some of my favorite designs that I wanted to try. I need to buy a visor still, but I will start priming it next week.
