Yah, I really think there's something to that. I have owned a few electric motorcycles, and still have one. The advantage of being so quite can't be overstated. People really don't care where you ride as long as you're being polite, and respectful of others. I wonder if we dirt bikers in the US need to get organized behind electric as a means to start opening riding areas, and reversing the trend.

What's the best oil for electric bikes? Can i put shell rotella in my electric motion? 🫠

So......... do vertigo still use s3 heads and cylinder jugs? Anyone else? 🙃

Oh for sure. And they'd have to hire people too. Almost completely different engineering disciplines.

Aaaah. I see. When explained so well, that makes total sense 😃

I guess had wondered, do each manufacturer have a proprietary engine design, or are they buying from a few platforms and tuning to make it their own. I was just curious since these companies are so small, and that seems like a lot of design and development.

Do the trials brands all manufacturer their own engines in house? Or do certain brands share engines, common parts, etc?

Fair enough. That's helpful, thank you!

I would characterize my brake, throttle, and clutch control as "moderate" 🤣

Is the Vertigo Vertical Combat 250 too much bike for a beginner trials rider? Novice dirt bike rider, 185 lbs.
