  1. maybe this can help http://www.mototrials.com/about/history-of-natc
  2. Contact Jeff Lancaster in Mallory Town, he is doing a lot in Eastern Ontario to promote trials nbspowersports.com Jeff Lancaster
  3. I found throttle muscle memory came very quickly and motor sound wasn't required, and as always, the more you ride the better the timing and muscle memory. cheers
  4. I have seen a mechanical clutch unit they have, but, more weight, more money and when you ride an EM trials bike you come to realize you really don't need it. We'll see what the future brings.
  5. There is an easy adjustment to take throttle "slack" out. Sounds like the bike you tested wasn't adjusted. Did you have it on map 1 or 2. By the sounds of your report it was on map 1? Map 2 is the power trial map. I have given test rides to people who come back with it on map 1. The more time you spend on one the better.
  6. I takes a couple of hours to start to get the real feel of the bike, 5 minute test ride is ok but I've seen quite a transformation with riders once they get some time on the bike. They are not a replacement for gas bikes but they are a sound viable alternative.
  7. What's interesting to see is Chris competing very well at the British Expert Championship level and in 2014 Bastien winning the French S2 Championship.
  8. We ride before a trial, 4 hours during a trial and then demo rides after a trial. This of course would not be a trial with long loops. We have seen this bike be ridden almost continuously for 3-4 hours with riders switching up to test it. This is with the standard battery. There is a lighter battery available that saves 2.5 kg and provides 75 % of the standard battery autonomy.
  9. Nice work on the EM by Chris Pearson at the St Davids British Championships Round, 7th of 36 in Expert. Lots of video out there but on FB so I don't know how to post it.
  10. Hi Nostroke, have you had a go on the EM?

    Gas Gas Future?

    The question is if the government is going to save them again or do they have to actually make the business work "as a business" ? Big difference between bankers and government partners.
  12. Not sure there is much more to say here from me other than try and get a test ride, preferably a sport model with the competition battery which is 2.5 kg lighter than the standard battery. cheers.
  13. I'm interested in what you would improve on the EM?
  14. What model are you referring to, is it the 5.7 or Sport? Which model have you tried? Cheers
  15. nice site, looking forward to it.

    Vertigo Launch

    Hi Michael, if you're referring to Sherco their efi 2t enduro bike has been raced in the Championship in France last fall. Currently there is no other information available, no info on pre production bikes, no info on production. Certainly no info on efi trials. EFI has to work flawlessly, therefore it will be tested and tested and tested. Back to Vertigo - EFI is how it is and will be, imo. we all will be assimilated. cheers

    Vertigo Launch

    Efi is very successful in the enduro world on 4t, I know enduro 2t efi is in enduro competition, carbs are on their way out. Vertigo has done a nice job, certainly will catch the attention of the other manufacturers. How boring it would be if the bikes stayed the same.
  20. any pics or video's of the former Australian Champ riding his EM?

    the key is quality control during production, design can be good, can the supplier do their job.
