Motorcycles It's Electric!!

[Uncle Kevriano]

One from an outing to a country show today. This was an E Bike, probably the future of Motorcross to be honest, so much acceleration on tap. Loopy buggers....

Great shot Kev. A few people ride them around our local track, fun to ride but not much fun to listen to. We've gone electric for our boys off-road bikes for now as they are perfect for learning on as they are so light and don't piss anyone off with the noise.

Cheers. If you are of a certain age you will know they sound just like Mr Fitzhenry...

How do they compare weight wise to the petrol versions?

A littler heavier, but they have better balance from what I've read, and power to weight ratio is crazy. Electric motors are so torquey it's instant acceleration, no lag, so they are perfect for M Cross really.
