Too be honest most of the trials population is quite old. An affordable Electric start model with upgrades to be able to purchase depending on riders needs. Have a competition model and the clubman model with accessories available.

Lets HOPE the TRS is a good heavy robust bike, not some fall to pieces lightweight codged out of push bike parts.

As the stated aims are winning competitions at the top level I guess that your wish for any kind of heavyweight bike wont be coming soon and a tenner says that it will have added weight for wtc events.

Didn't you bet me a tenner that Scorpa wouldn't last a year, about 3 years ago ?

20 years ago I might have laughed at the thought of electric start on a trials bike but now I am not so sure. I looked at as Gas Gas EC300 a few days ago and the electric start system was very neat.

As Ossa has discovered making battery free EFI can be a bit tricky.

Perhaps the time has come to ditch the bulky / weighty kickstarts and replace them with a motor and battery system. Batteries give a stable voltage that is much more suitable for electronics, cooling fans etc. Overall the addition of a battery may simplify and make more reliable bike electrics.

Many riders with worn out knees may appreciate an electric start.

Obviously you have never tried to push start a friggin Yam XT 225 with no proper kicker mounted! How can they do this to us? Try that when you are sitting with a flipped bike in a creek!

When you suddenly find out your battery is weak after abiut two good start attempts! It dies!

Yea, they last a couple years maybe? At least if I get caught out on my Cessna I can get out and hand prop the thing! Happened more than once! Hot start on a dead 4T is not isolated to bikes!

Maybe TRS might give the other manufacturers a boot up the ass to get things right . For a start off , if it comes with a decent side stand , that will be £130.00 you wont have to spend for something that works,as opposed to something that's just plain ill thought out rubbish as on Montesa and GasGas . self destruct mudguards , (How much for a piece of plastic with no design technology whatsoever) Beta .

That's providing they get things good themselves first crack.
