As some may have noticed, we did not reach our target on the kick starter campaign ... this however has not discouraged raffebikes from getting this bike to market as its a product that we believe in and in our option is still the best available at this current time. We are still continuing to upgrade and improve upon the...

I should have also mentioned that the RS do not come with the OBC and is a pure twist and go bike i.e no clutch function . This can be added if needed as a aftermarket/upgrade device as all the wiring will be standard on both models.

No Engine maintenance or tweeking to get it to run right also less wear on chain and sprockets due to the chain being at the correct tension 100% of the rear suspension travel. Besides your normal maintenance i.e Wheels/Plastics/bearings there is not really much else to do to keep the bike running at the top of its performance curve.

Thanks.. That was our plan to make it a true off the shelf, high quality competitive bike that can withstand racing conditions without having to worry about strength or durability that some of the cheaper import bikes suffer from. The RS is identical to the RX but comes with a smaller battery, slower charger and has no water cooling. A...

Lots of updates and information about the bike can be found on our facebook page https://www.facebook.com/RAFFEmxBIKES?ref=hl

The silent mini thunder was made to be competitive and able to compete along side race prepped gas bikes , so components had to be up to the task for strength and function but also have all the advantages of a electric bike , Im not sure if there is any other small wheeled electric mx bike on the market...

Thanks for your support and yes its very frustrating not getting it out there before the Xmas holidays. The bike was due to go onto kickstarter in September, and it had already undergone months of track/race testing , the extra delay have been due to upgrading some components and electronics which were the direct results of some suggestions put forward...

The quietness of electric in general can be seen as a negative aspect but we believe that it is a very big positive for all motor sport as it will open up more riding venues .

Wel its been a bit longer than we anticipated but its finally launched . https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/raffebikes/electric-motocross-mini… It has taken us a bit longer to get this out there due to the upgrades that have been carried out as a direct result from feedback from this forum. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the MX community for...

the above post was not relating our bike It was a general question about the new electric KTM and was asking for feedback for my own personal interest... We have nothing to do with KTM. Are you referring to the link in the above post or earlier post related to the silent thunder ? . .

What Are people thoughts: KTM Freeride going into production 2015 : but looks like it will only be available in Europe Initially. http://www.enduro21.com/index.php/component/k2/item/2131-tested-%E2%80%93-ktm-freeride-e

We built this bike with racing in mind and not just to get something out there to cash in on.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tU0MRU0kdRE Short promo video of the bike. we have taken on board a few of the comments from this forum about the bike, and are in the process of making some changes to the bike as a direct result. Please support us on our facebook page .. and Dont forget our free to enter raffle for a brand new raffe...

@ Triplefive The Gas tank is a fluid container that may come in handy for future developments of this bike and for future models it also keeps the bike looking like a regular gas bike ( to a certain degree ) which the kids love .. also it makes people ask questions :-) @blueripps Yes I can share the reason...

I guessing you must have saw the bike in the early development stages, we were logging motor, battery temps, checking connectors and also generally checking the bike over ( hardware ). We have spent many hours testing many motors, controllers and MX components for this bike making sure we find the best and most reliable combination. Thank you for your...

@ JA946 I'm afraid that you are beginning to let your self down due to the lack of your knowledge... A couple of things that may help put things into perspective : Not all batteries are the same chemistries or the same power densities therefore not all batteries carries the same risks . raffe bikes do not use lipo...

Yes you are quite right, I did post the video as requested to help promote the bike and as of this time we have no real promotional video to offer. Im sorry if you also think that trying to promote a new product to people that would care about the product is spamming, that really is not our intention.

Thankyou for your support and suggestions. We will look into sourcing a more compact brake system that is as functional as the setup we currently have. Also we will remove the end of the video (DNF part) , as we can now see that some viewers of the video look at the whole bike in a negative way.

Thank you. We are very pleased that we are now in a position to release the bike to the new/upcoming future mx star riders.
