sectionone Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Looks like real photos, not mock ups. I hope they actually start shipping these at a fair price. 63kg, 138lbs! I wonder how much hp it produces. Weird having no clutch. I'd like to see a second rear brake control for the left hand. Recent UK magazine has an editorial about the sport in crisis and electric trials is the future. Here in the US it is in an even bigger crisis. I can see trials taking off by going electric. Old warehouses in major cities can be converted into extreme sports facilities. BMX, skate, trials, endurocross using the same indoor/outdoor courses. You would swap out batteries at the counter. Recently, there was operating cost comparison between a Zero electric dual sport and a DR200. They should have tested the Zero MX with a 4T MX with both producing the same hp. Ownership costs should be comparable, maybe even less long term. electric/gas study Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godzilla Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 (edited) If its electric can you use it on the road without taking a test and without insurance? Edited November 8, 2011 by godzilla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrc1 Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 It would need to conform to the electric pushbike rules - power & speed are limited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwhy Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 (edited) If its electric can you use it on the road without taking a test and without insurance? Nope you will still need a motorcycle licence and insurance ,, but no road tax It would need to conform to the electric pushbike rules - power & speed are limited. and it will need peddles the price i have seen some where for the kit i.e motor, controller and battery is 5k euro's, the spec that I have seen for it is that the motor produces 10kw peak power (13hp) Edited November 8, 2011 by gwhy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baldilocks Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 i cant see a lot of point in taking our kids off the electric bikes, petrol must be time limited now ? if that can run for an hour now in five years we could be riding trials on one on a single charge.
