I was told Husky is only importing 120 of these. Not sure what the KTM numbers are, but there's so few I think they will sell out.

If that’s true what happened to the homologation rule?!?!?!

Homologation rule is for Pro races.

If the E50s are as fast at top speed as the ICE bikes but accelerate faster or with more authority like the young Deegan demonstrated, it will take only one race for them to dominate. You'll see a sea of them at the starting gate of the 2nd major Amateur race in the U.S.

That are a shit load faster and easier to ride for kids than the current 50SX, no Auto clutch so the kids are always in the meat of the power, not waiting to 7500-8000rpm before the bike moves at a decent speed.

They will pull a 100kg Adult with no worries and pick up speed amazingly well,

Will be interesting to see if they let them race with div 2 50 class here in Aus,

The only downside I could see would be Battery life, would the bike last a full 10-15 minutes for a race on a heavy track at full speed.

Then again on a wet muddy track, just turn the bike down to the lowest setting, cruise around and watch as you go by all the current 50s sitting on the side of the track with smoking clutches and radiators

Price is $700 more than a normal 50 sx only.

For a bike that can last a kid several years, not a bad investment. Can save a lot of money on top ends, oil, clutches, and most importantly $100’stators that don’t last worth shit lol

Anyone know what size generator will be required to charge on of these?

Have a Yamaha 3000, wonder if a 2000 watt would be enough

I might be wrong and it might have changed but I don’t think that’s true in stock classes??? Why TM could only race in mod classes. But I’m not sure

Don't shoot the messenger. I'm just regurgitating what I was told.
