It's not quite ready for Supercross, but it's still pretty cool.

So, are there issues jumping these? I notice they kept it mostly on the ground. Just wondering if there was an issue in the air since it is not using a conventional motor.

Way to go KTM.
It's not about 2 strokes, 4 strokes, or e-bikes; it's about providing the consumer with options.
Glad to see one of the big 5 manufactures paving the way...

Judging by the photos coming from EICMA, the European brands really seem to be jumping onto the electric moto bandwagon. Nothing yet that looks like it could compete with modern four-strokes, but its only a matter of time.

That Sherco looks AWESOME!!! I can't wait for this evolution to hit us with full power. Starting to get a bit fed up with petrol, oil, oil-filters, the smell, pollution, grease everywhere in the garage, valves and pistons failures.

Bring it on already.

They got a point. One like to take that bike to BMX track after watching the vid, not line up next ones riding buddies at the local track.

Why do all the guys building these things think they have to make them look all weird? Why can't they just take a 125 or 250f chassis and fit an electric motor in. That sherco is on the right track.

You are missing the point. You can ride this AT home.
