scott_king Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Looks good. Defiantly has got some potential to take on the Pamera and the new Gasgas Radeon. Did they release any mock up pictures of the enduro??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copemech Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 (edited) Very innovative! Has no throttle as it is fly by wire via bluetooth voice command in your headset. Must require proper voice training of various curse words to get on and stop the fecking thing! Edited October 7, 2011 by copemech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toofasttim Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Very innovative! Has no throttle I wondered if I was the only person to notice this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtbiker Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 (edited) Hello guys! Can we call this concept suitable for real trial? Or necessary to have second bike for this? What about replacement CPG, I mean spare parts. It can be obtained only from OSSA importer shop? What about interchangeability of parts from third-party dealers?
